    CMMG 22LR conversion kit for AR15

    the charging handle that is ‘full’ to keep brass from getting caught is a gotta have. On my dedicated upper, I have the Bonnie packer kit that allows MP22 mags to be used. With lock back on last round.

    Fast Twist- where are we?

    I too like the concept of gain twist, but wonder how it translates into subsonic lead bullets specifically? I guess it would be even more malleable and you could do even a larger transition??? On the group above, is that actual shot order- as during the string- or is that just the way the...

    Fast Twist- where are we?

    It looks like we haven’t had a discussion on barrel twist lately? I’d figure that more than a few fast 1x9 barreled guns are out there and there has been enough time for a few long range matches so far this year. What are people seeing? due to a lot of things I haven’t been able to get out to...

    CZ 457

    Thanks guys! MDT Chassis, and it does have a lug recess. Probably more important on a wooden stock.

    CZ 457

    Putting together a Xmas present and I realize that when I took the 457 action out of the donor stock, I misplaced the action lug/shim. What are its dimensions? I can get reverse engineer it, I guess. Does the lug do anything in a full metal chassis like an MDT?

    Prefits

    Did a 9twist Lilja 22inch barrels for CZ457/455 on two different guns. The shim system is interesting, I've only set up one gun so far, hoping to get the second one out today. Initially I wasn't getting good groups and had extraction issues. I contacted Lilja and he gave some advice on the...

    Thermal Science Question

    Now, interestingly, if you were looking in the near IR, past 700nm, you might be able to see through some thinner fabrics with colored with dyes that are usually IR tranparent- the old trick of using a Sony camera with ‘night shot‘ during the day to see through women’s clothing.

    Recession - 2022 / 2023 / 2024

    Thanks. The GFC was so different. The phones just stopped ringing one day, and slowly started coming back, but whole companies were just GONE. This came back sooner and faster, and companies are still there, it's just you can't get stuff. Totally agree with your points on orders. I keep on...

    Recession - 2022 / 2023 / 2024

    IF there is a recession- 2Qs of negative growth, it isn’t going to be because of manufacturing. There is still a 6-9 month back log in orders for most materials, so even if they literally shut down demand, just filling back orders will carry us. Now Q1, it seems that was a statistical or...

    CZ 457 lilja barrel failure to extract

    So instead of measuring the action and calculating the shims needed as in the Lilja instructions, just use GO guages like head spacing a CF rifle?

    Guns in Denver?

    If you just into 22lr, maybe come here. Outside of that, if you can live anywhere else - do it. The gun laws are only going to get worse here. Worse is the cultural war against conservatives. Moved here in early 2000s and regret it everyday. The only day that is good living in CO, and...

    HB 40X 22lr Barrel Contour

    I have my barrel too , keep it in my closet - probably more deadly as a bludgeon than as a gun barrel….

    My thoughts on 22lr barrel length...

    I find that going between ammo brands that the first few rounds through the old ‘grease’ will yield a few fast rounds. Just a general observation. That and my Benchmark barrel doesn’t like to cool down, if I wait more than a minute between rounds, I drop a bunch of speed. Specifically on...

    6mm ARC cycling issue

    Why run a +2 on a 18inch barrel? Or maybe I'm confsued, I would call a rifle length gas as 'standard' on a 18inch- is this rifle+2 or carbine+2? How does it compare to rifle gas length?

    Federal Auto Match, how bad it can be?

    It is one of my preferred ammo for blasting in AR22s and MP15-22, and handguns. Good 'umpff' to cycle actions as they get dirty. It shoots minute of gong for me. Never would think of it as 'accurate'.

    TESTED - FX Wireless Chrono for 22LR

    Yep, yep, yep. I think maybe I ‘blew’ the mic as a trigger getting it too close to the barrel. I got one of those inretail triggers and that really improved things. The other thing was using the app to drive it, since then I’m not taking it off target trying to press buttons. Still working...

    American Rifle Company Black Friday and Cyber Week Sale

    OK, this is why they need a webpage to give updates. A table with product by order number to show anticipated dates along with notes. Maybe those calls were for other things than status updates, but if you are spending resources on things that don't add value and could be handled a different...

    bergara b14r won't extract unfired round from chamber

    I wouldn't expect a match chamber to extract an unfired round. More surpised if it works- and makes me wonder if the chamber is short enough. Pretty much SOP at a match to get an OK to fire a chambered if time expires. That and a pocket knife to flick out brass.

    Lab radar over magnetto

    The LabRadar is just so hit and miss. If you are shooting big, loud rounds- like a 308 with out a suppressor- it works fine. Sub 22s, ugly. Not loud enough to trigger, and the little bullets don’t like to be tracked…. The inertial trigger does make it lot more useful. Pairing your phone to...
