    Fieldcraft DIY 'Tannerite' anyone?

    Yep, last I checked "Tannerite" and similar binary explosives are only legal because they are 1) comprised of two ingredients or less and 2) not mixed before transport. When you start mixing three or more ingredients together, you are now in regulated-explosive territory. Doesn't matter how you...

    ATF Proposal 2020R-10

    Will never happen. Not to be a downer, but I'm with TheGerman on this one. When I was a young teen in high school, I'd write papers and read about everything related to the fight for gun rights. I'd get in facebook debates, discuss with family/friends, etc. I'd wonder why more wasn't being done...

    Firearms AI AX .308 w/NF ATACR 5-25x56, Spuhr, Pelican Case

    Unfortunately it does not have the quick change barrel system. Only the post-14 rifles have it.

    Suppressors Best, worst rimfire can

    How do you go 12 years without cleaning a 22 can... FWIW, the Mask is heavier because it isn't made of soda cans lol. The DA Mask and TBAC Takedown are at the top of the heap for a reason.

    Rifle Scopes Best lpvo for under $500? If i go 34mm tube, I'll get most field of view? I have 30 and 34mm mounts

    Search around and compare numbers, that'll be your best bet. I'm not up to speed on the sub-$500 stuff, but as a general rule, the diameter of the tube does not effect your field of view. It's the diameter of the objective lens (the one facing the target) that matters. Other things like the way...

    Suppressors DOMINUS-K-SR

    Why? The logic doesn't make sense to me. Hard-use and shorter overall configuration = Dominus. Precision, lighter, and quieter overall configuration = Ultra Gen 2. My understanding is that the Dominus line is primarily intended for abuse. Removing the locking collar/SR mounting interface...

    Fieldcraft Sleep system

    Finally, real experience. I agree, for serious cold/wet the Army bivy is the way to go. The rest of the sleep system is overweight and bulky. For 3 season use, a lightweight down quilt like the Nemo Siren or Enlightened Equipment Revelation, paired with a lighter civilian bivy (like the OR...

    AX “Covert” pelican size

    Thanks for the responses guys! I had some time to research and the Explorer you guys posted is nearly identical to the Pelican 1510 or 1535 "Air". Also...I might just buy a rifle up there (been wanting a 45-70 for a while lol). Its going to be a pretty casual hunt for only two or three days, not...

    AX “Covert” pelican size

    Hey guys looking to get my AXSA with a 16 inch barrel shipped to Alaska for a last-minute hunt. Does anybody know which pelican mimics the AX covert box? Looking to get things broken down as small as possible. Trying to place the order as soon as I get off work so I don’t have a ton of time to...

    Need New Kicks, Help me out.

    There really aren't any options that will be good at both 100F and -10F...How much time are you spending in those temps? I spend a lot of time outside professionally. If its hot out, GoreTex is an absolute no-go. Unless you like sweaty, soggy feet. I'd rather have something light, breathable...

    Suppressors Cheytac suppressor

    "if you have experience with multiple cans." I feel this...Don't you just love it when guys chime in saying XYZ can is their favorite/best-out-there, and also the only suppressor they own? Looking forward to seeing what folks recommend for this application.

    Suppressors current rimfire options

    Why would anyone want that system? Those threads are going to be completely caked in carbon and a total pain to clean. Being able to "tune" your can to each caliber seems like a real gimmick, too. "ID Threads act as an effective turbulator that reduces energy from the blast." - Until they fill...

    Suppressors Suggestions on 6.5 CM suppressor ???

    The Hybrid definitely works and is fine without ear pro and is very versatile. That said, next to my Ultra 9 it definitely looses out on tone and volume. A close friend of mine has one, and once you take a few steps back (like behind a spotting scope) its harder to tell the difference. Still...

    Rifle Scopes Anything better sub $200?

    Any idea what he might want to do once he starts shooting more? Is he the kind of guy that you see getting into longer range shooting? Or just a hunter? Also, what kind of rifle is this for and what part of the world does he live in? I know you said he doesn't know what he wants, but you...

    Firearms Colt M4A1 SOCOM Carbine with 16" Barrel. *Pics

    This. 100x this. Its annoying when people do this...gotta keep a handle on the market somehow.

    effectiveness out of 10.5

    He's just trying to tell us what we all already know. I don't think anyone here is trying to argue that 5.56 is amazing from a short barrel. To be honest, I'd just pick whatever load seems to fit your needs best. Want velocity? Go light. Want "sToPpInG pOwEr?" Go heavy. There's going to be a...

    Shortest barrel on a .308 build

    This. This is what we should be gunning for here. Nice build bro.

    Shortest barrel on a .308 build

    Still 8.4lbs though. Depending on which LAR-8 OP has, his rifle probably weighs about 9.5lb without an optic. May as well swap to a carbon barrel, or just chop the current one down to 16" if we really want to run 308win. 16" 300blk has almost as much energy as a 10.5" 308win. Why not just go...
