    UPS Eats Ass

    I like USPS for fast & cheap. Ordered a widget off ebay last Friday around 6pm, came from TX and was in my mailbox in MD on Monday. They can definitely fuck it up though, but it's rarely happened to me. Fedex blows giant goat balls. Pretty much universally been the worst IME, except some actual...

    NEW - Atlas CAL (Cant and Loc) Bipod - PRE-ORDER (added 12.14)

    I'm interested to see what comes in the mail tomorrow. I added a nylon washer & rubber washer from the hardware store, and a spacer to preload the spring, as a quick & dirty test, and it gave it a lot more "firm, but not locked up" adjustment. I was trying to find some more "right" stuff, but...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 20ga Shockwave?

    Attribute #3 in the Shockwave ATF letter states "(never had a shoulder stock attached)". That seems to be interpreted as saying that if it DOES get a shoulder stock attached, whether at manufacture or later, it stopped being a whatever-the-hell-it-is and started being a "shotgun", with the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 20ga Shockwave?

    As I recall, part of the magic of it avoiding being an SBS or AOW hinges on it not only not originally being equipped to fire from the shoulder (the reason it's not an SBS- a "shotgun" is designed to be fired from the shoulder) but also remaining that way... it can't have "ever had a stock on...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Recommendations for .38 spl plinkers-NOT TULammo

    Any thoughts on the Speer Lawman 158 TMJ? Luckygunner has it for $335-345/case depending if it's +P or not... I just picked up 3 100 packs of the WWB FMJ from Bass Pro, with discount GCs and the rebate it's pretty cheap for plinking, but the rebate is only good on so much ($50 back?). Couldn't...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    The Lite barrel is... light. Like, can't even thread it 5/8. My .308 is OK, but I'm sure a heavier barrel will improve it a good bit. I used a Lite for mine because a) a >20" CTR in .308 is really hard to find, b) I figured (correctly) I'd want a 20MOA rail, didn't want to be stuck needing a...

    308 Ammo... I know I know

    Got a Cabela's or BPS nearby? You can get gift cards for either online for ~20% under face value, and interchange them at the others' stores. Reason I say nearby is they changed their military discount deal, no longer available online, but now you can get it in store at BPS... used to be only...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I couldn't really say, only had it out once since putting it together and it was halfway nice out. But they're the Ergo ones, and they're actually rubber, so I reckon they insulate a hell of a lot better than aluminum. I honestly only got them because I liked them on my 870 forend. Not like I...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    My (relatively) low-buck rifle... my 1st bolt gun, in fact it's my 1st personally owned rifle, always stuck to pistols and scatterguns. T3X Lite (for now) .308 in an LSS-XL Gen2, MIAD grip, 2A 8-position tube, MBA-3, and Atlas CAL. Glass is a PST Gen1 FFP, in Warne Mountain Tech mediums, now...

    Glades armory read me

    Damn... guess I'm also a lucky one. Got one for my Tikka in November and another for my kids' T/C in January and they both were smooth transactions. 2nd one took about a week to show up and didn't have tracking info for a long while, but that's not surprising from a small vendor. Sucks to...
