    MRAD Rifle Magazine compatibility.

    Well they're still fulfilling contracts so it's kinda hard to get some things at time. I just got a barrel that came with the mag but haven't tried to order any extras yet. Their stock comes and goes. You call them?

    Well heck, Ryan O'Neal dead at 82

    He was Barry Lyndon in Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon." Great movie if you haven't seen it. Every flintlock gun duel in every movie since is just a pale copy.

    I blew up my rifle!

    With the damage to the carrier like that I'm leaning toward a barrel obstruction. And it wouldn't necessarily have to be a second round to do it either. If the bullet didn't make it past the gas port and the bolt didn't unlock then all that gas is now trapped. But I'd also suspect in that...

    Federal judge rules marijuana use doesn't preempt firearms ownership

    Indica doesn't grow that far South. Look it up. Those are equatorial sativas that come from India. Indica doesn't mean India. Indica is a latin term for species identification and cannabis isn't the only indica classification --like the various types of indica rice. Sativa (a similar latin...

    Federal judge rules marijuana use doesn't preempt firearms ownership

    Pretty sure Indica was a result of the Afghan "hippie trail" in 60s... Didn't show up in US strains until 70s or so, also exported to Holland. Afghanistan is a historically closed country, never been successfully occupied since Ghengis Khan IIRC though many have tried. He only did it because...

    Do the pros use stainless steel pin/wet tumble or Dry Tumble?

    I started using pins and wet tumbling when I got an M2 but I'm probably doing it a bit differently... When I do load it's in the thousands and BMG. So a large cement mixer with 60lbs of pins and detergent and lemishine does do the trick but it takes pretty hot water to get it done right...

    lite bipods

    Harris for the money, easy. Abused the shit out of them for years and never busted one when it counted. Maybe not fancy, not newest/latest but they get it done for under $100. Honestly use the more expensive shit on much, much heavier rifles where the loading becomes and issue and breakage...

    Federal judge rules marijuana use doesn't preempt firearms ownership

    It's so much of a non sequitur here I don't know where to begin. The big thing here is they don't want you doing it while driving, that's it. The biggest marijuana store (in a relatively rural coastal WA town) is RIGHT next door to the local PD. Psychedelics will be legal here soon...

    Explosion over Billings Montana?

    You know, I'm far from buying into conspiracies and shit this far along, but you could be onto something. I live on the coast of WA, beach is just a few miles down the street. So anything heading in that direction is over water, there are no ranges or other federal lands this far out. Just...

    Most useful piece of equipment

    And not fancy but still pricey, Kowa scopes we used at the SDM courses were great... They just worked. Clear, easy to spot trace/read mirage (despite no reticle on these) and 60x mag. But a Leupold Mk4 with a reticle and 40x wouldn't be bad either. Maybe better now.

    Most useful piece of equipment

    After eyes and fingers intact, I'd say a good spotter. Get a good one and it'll serve you for a while.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Haven't been around in a while, unreal you guys are waiting almost a year for an eform... Last few I did I got back in less than a month a little over a year ago. Paper files almost always take forever IME. Waited 14 months once. If you're SBR'ing, efiling yourself and using the option for...

    Surefire, OSS or KeyMo?

    Surefire impressed me with the FA762SS... It's Ti --don't they make one like you're looking at in Ti? Pretty sure they did. Not on your list but I think KAC QDC may be what you're looking for --it's one of the best all around cans that checks a lot of boxes. Elite Iron doesn't get mentioned...

    What large format AR?

    I have a KAC SR25 and FN Mk20 (and Mk17 and Mk16 SBR's for that matter...) The SR25 is really nice, especially with the factory QDC can. The quality is just obvious and it has that "feel". The Mk's ain't AR's but I'd consider them for 7.62 options and you can change barrels really easy on...

    Uvalde police, school district no longer cooperating with Texas probe of shooting. Update-Uvalde cops may use loophole to keep the shooter's recor

    I read he ran some kind of barricade or ditch. Got the money for the weapons working at a Jack in the Bell or Kentucky Fried Taco or some shit. I also read they have a ridiculous amount of cops for a town the size of 15,000. And spend FORTY PERCENT of taxes on cop shit! Use illegal alien...
