Don’t let @clcustom1911 here this. He will hire one to stand beside him just to blow his hair around.
She blows more than my hair
Nah, dude doesn't shoot anymore, he's too busy being engaged. He has his fiance blow on his hair.
Lmao, that was for you to take it there, not me!
That’s all true. My first and favorite is 9” long on the end of the 26” barrel. It’s why I stopped using it for PRS matches and went to a brake for that.
Well we as shooters all know that those who get these things rolling know nothing at all about rifles. They actually believe that people who run suppressors are a bunch of maniacal silent assassins hell bent on shooting up God knows what, then disappearing undetected into the ether.
Obviously someone she holds in low esteem!took a .308 w/brake to an indoor range once. buddy wanted to shoot it, but was unwilling to travel to an outdoor range.
i warned the girl at the counter that it might bother the people next to me (so maybe put me on the end...?).
she smiled and put me next to somebody shooting a .22lr.
Don't think so, nobody asked for any ID on either of mine.
Out of curiosity, how many Krone is say a middle of the road suppressor in Norway?
Nice way to rationalize spending more money on gear as well!
" If it hurts some ( so? ) many peoples feelings then I`m Ok with it. " If indeed that`s a serious statement and not made in jest, that`s an interesting way to look at things.
I can laugh at it myself because if my hat got blown off, I'm one of those guys that would walk up and say damn, what is that thing? But I do realize I am not most people. I'm not easily rattled and often laugh at myself.
And being able to laugh at one `s self is one of the best ways to get through our time on this rock with one`s psyche reasonably intact.
And, as others have said, it might be more difficult or one more hoop to jump through in other countries to get a rifle but the suppressor is over the counter, as it were.
Sounds like you were blessed to have her with you for the short time she was here. To have found someone like that is extremely rare. You were and are a very fortunate man sir.Yes sir, indeed it is.
Laugher and maintaining a strong sense of humor is vital.
Life is full of serious challenges and serious gut checks.....it is also full of mirth and true belly laughter if you keep your awareness up.
God knows that I miss my dear sweet bride. I miss her so badly. Not a day goes by, however, that I don't laugh at something we both found funny. Cancer ended her life way too soon. I do find myself in some goofball efforts trying to get through each day....and I'll take pleasure in the moments, knowing she would be there to poke at me and get me laughing....get my arse in gear and get after it....whether it was work or play.
Her smile and laughter still beam and echo in our home....and I pray they always will.
I have no fears in this world other than I'll screw up and fall off the path that will lead me to her one future day, Lord willing.
Discipline & awareness and prayer so far seem to be keeping me heading in the right direction.
I've found in my 54 years of life that the Lord has a sense of humor, too. I take great satisfaction in that.
I hope what when I stand in judgement I'll be given some latitude for my occasional foul language an be allowed to hug my wife for all I'm worth.
She'd have been laughing at me hard yesterday.....when I got a long overdue haircut. She'd have busted my balls over a scruffy beard and the fact that our family dog had more frequent hair cuts than I.
Went in for a night shift last night. Some of the characters there had me about to choke I was laughing so hard.
Humor is VITAL.
I'm no competition shooter......just a middle-aged hack who is intrigued with the challenges of longer range shooting, handloading and geeking up the ballistics to make it happen. It's a new aspect to a lifetime of shooting, hunting and being around guns. I may have gravitated to it at some point.....but the time spent here on The Hide is often filled with some truly funny stuff. I need that just as bad as I need my morning coffee.
Ahhhh, and so it begins... Another rifle build. I know me all too well and have levied sanctions on myself.Thank you.
That is precisely how I see it. I was blessed with 27 years of marriage to an absolutely wonderful woman in every way.
Things were always "just right" when we were together. Even during her battle with cancer she found ways to prepare me on how to keep living. Some of those ways weren't known to me until after her passing.
I was blessed and I remain so.
Got a couple hour nap after getting off an overtime shift last night. Making decisions on setting up a new rifle.....I hate to pillage off existing rifles....and didn't want to rob parts that were being saved for a soon to arrive rifle......only one option left: buy new stuff.
Going shopping for more Area419 gear.......Hellfire brakes and arcalock sections.
Well they’re not rules so much as they are guidelines.Ahhhh, and so it begins... Another rifle build. I know me all too well and have levied sanctions on myself.
God bless you, sir. I`m sure she`ll be there waiting!Yes sir, indeed it is.

Break an effing toe if you drop it on one
Meh, it only weighs about 4 pounds and bigger than a beer can.
Uhm…ahem…we meant the brake you posted…
from all of your vaporized poop particles clogging their sinuses.
I'm glad that I humored you. At least I'd made someone's day a happier one. That said, my ears have been ringing since the late 70's. Hope, scratch that, pray you never have to go through life with that "little" problem....Hahaha! Thanks for the humor to lighten up the subject.
Not quite sure how to respond sir. Brakes aren't just to reduce recoil because it hurts. I used to shoot eggs off of fence posts with a 300 Win Mag before brakes existed. I'm quite sure you know what I'm talking about in that it was a badge of honor to beat the hell out of yourself with a massive rifle along with a couple of buddies. I'm still that way to be honest. Recoil doesn't make me whine and run home to momma.
I actually really like being a huge pussy at the range. I like seeing my impacts at 1k! Its 2024 guys, being a pussy is cool now.
