    Night Vision Is there such a thing as an LWIR rangefinder?

    Yes. A LRF that emits a beam which is visible in that wavelength.

    /me eyes a 15000 grit oil stone which has taunted me for years with utter contempt and accepts my M2's normally glass rod break with occasionally erratic creep and factory setting of all the pounds because the skins are just too much of a hassle to remove. Yes. I am what most would call lazy. I...

    Hmmm. I mean, if you already bought the ticket and took the ride, it's probably the wrong time to complain to customer service. Just 'sayin. I'm talking about the girlfriend, obviously, not the rifle. :ROFLMAO:

    I have SWIR covered but that does nothing for using a thermal. Is there such a thing as a thermal compatible LRF? Discuss. I did google. I did search. It wasn't super helpful.

    Big Magnum Revolver, what is just right?

    Wouldn't that be called an Anaconda? My goldfish memory might be failing me but I think that's what those are called.

    .45-70 derringer. If you're that into self-abuse and induced wrist pain, it should do you fine without weighing too much.

    ES Tactical ended up sending me a barrel that was meant to be in-stock so long after I ordered it that I thought it was a barrel I'd ordered from another outfit because it had been so long that I'd forgotten, with my goldfish memory, that I'd even ordered it. IIRC they were moving or some other...

    Hey, I’ve got 139rds of Prime 300gr stuck in the states. I’d be happy to make you a deal on it. Stored indoors in climate controlled conditions. Boxes were opened to dump it into my ammo can. All one lot.

    My move overseas has arrived ahead of schedule and with the stoppage of export permit issuance it looks like I'll have to sell my kit on this side and buy again on that side. I'll be putting the ad up in a few minutes but FYI, selling:

    @diggidy Or just get yourself a piece of kydex and go to town. It's a thermoplastic so it softens with heat and forms with ease. Dip a sheet in boiling water for a few seconds, lay it over your rifle with the OEM cheek riser in place, allow it to cool, cut/drill/drool/done. It'll cost you all of...

    Got out and made some noise with the smokewagon a little over a week ago. I tested barrel remove/reinstall and return to zero again. Everything within 2 tenths of a mil except on the first mag full the .223 barrel would group 3 here in a single hole and 4 over there in a different single hole...

    In today's, "Holy hell, that's heavy!" files, I got set up for a shoot with some friends that's coming up. I wanted to see exactly how bad things would be. With my living situation I don't have a room for keeping a lot of stuff so the more I can put in once case, the better. This emptied out the...

    I have the M2 and a PVS-27 or PVS-30 with my Steiner M7 barely fits. With a covert I can't see it happening without going to a S&B Super Short or something like a Eotech VUDU. Those are both pretty petite scopes but also pretty secksy looking on a covert. When I say the words it sounds like I'm...
