    Need a folder for a 16.5

    As long as it has a 16" barrel the stock length or lack there of doesn't matter. At least to the Feds. I have no idea about your local/state laws. Edit: after a little research and a ton of conflicting information I'm editing my response to... "I have no idea" and or "I'm no help". ;)

    F T/R Competition Suggested velocity for 69gr SMK?

    Ok - I didn't do a good job asking the question. I knew I could safely get the velocity up, just didn't know if there was a sweet spot for accuracy at distance or of others had found something that worked for the 69 SMK in particular. I'll work up and start looking for accuracy. What I...

    F T/R Competition Suggested velocity for 69gr SMK?

    What velocity (range) would you guys recommend for 500/600 yard shooting with a 223 and 69gr SMKs? It's a 26" 1:9 barrel. I've got a light load performing exceptionally well at 100, but it's only just hitting 2,700 fps. Before I start an OCW test at distance I wanted to make sure I was in the...

    Subsonic 270WSM

    What's he trying to do? Last time I passed through Sanderson I remember seeing a lot of wide open space and wind. Either of which can make subsonic hunting interesting. I've played around quite a bit with 30cal subsonics (308, 300 Black Out and 7.62x39). I think of them as a niche tool...

    Suppressors The Day has arrived !!!

    That's great! Texas opened up last year and now allows suppressors for hunting game animals. Just makes sense. After the politicians passed a law allowing hogs to be shot from helicopters we knew they'd come to their senses shortly on suppressors.

    old Mauser ser# 933, hidden treasure or junk?

    I just bought my first old Mauser about a month ago so I'm anything but an expert in this area, but here are some of the things I found when trying to figure out what to buy. There is a wealth of info on these old guns online. Figure out what kind of rifle you have, start googling the markings...

    Gunsmithing Thin barrel threading... possible?

    Thanks guys. All good info. Will help when discussing options with local smith.

    Gunsmithing Thin barrel threading... possible?

    That's basically what a local smith was thinking as well. I'm giving him a little time to think through the 1/2x28 with shoulder or 9/16x24 indexed on the muzzle. Unfortunately doesn't seem to be a clear consensus or plan of action here.

    Gunsmithing Thin barrel threading... possible?

    It's a pencil barrel. I wouldn't gain any diameter by moving it back. A local smith felt like there wasn't enough metal/thickness left in the barrel to pin and weld the QD/brake without risking it to warp or lose strength.

    Gunsmithing Thin barrel threading... possible?

    Anybody have experience/thoughts on TIG welding or pinning this type of brake on a barrel. So say use the 9/16x24 that would leave almost no shoulder to index off of and weld/pin it in place. I'd like to leave as much metal on the barrel as possible. Anybody have any experience running a...

    Aeon1 - thank you for calculating/working through that. Great info.

    Gunsmithing Thin barrel threading... possible?

    Just realized there is a 9/16x24 option. May have solved my own problem.

    Gunsmithing Thin barrel threading... possible?

    I'm looking for a way to get an AAC 51t flash hider/suppressor mount on a 30 caliber barrel with an OD of 0.575. Clearly it's too skinny for 5/8x24 threads. So, does it sound like a reasonable idea to thread it 1/2x28 and permanently install the flash hider/suppressor mount? The 1/2x28 flash...
