    Brand new rifle, sheared case

    Although it is unlikely that over-pressure caused that CHS... in the second picture the primers look very flat. It is blurry and not a great angle, but the edges of the primer cup look very sharp and crisp.

    Georgetown wants you to pay because they owned slaves 180 years ago.

    The bigger issue here is "legacy" students given priority to a university over other individuals who may be more qualified for admission. This form of discrimination happens in universities/colleges all over the country and also at most work places. God forbid we just award scholarships...

    Banged up USMC vet arrested over HP Parking space

    What an awful thing to allow to happen in our country. I'll bet way more than $250k was wasted through our shit legal system to even get to this settlement. How come this man had to wait 7 years to clear his name, but everytime that shithead Connor Mc'Gregor is arrested it seems like his court...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    With all the reports on here about light primer strikes, you're first questioning the 450s (that you use successfully in another rifle) or the seating depth (the same you normally do on your other rifle)? I applaud you for giving it the benefit of the doubt and not jumping to conclusions, but...

    My long slide kit was delivered today... can't wait to get outa work and check it out! Surprised no one here responded to this, but most people have been having positive things to say about it if you search google.

    224 Valkyrie Bolt Gun Testing/Review

    @260284 is that a ~0.6" group at 402 yards, and the other group too!? Wow!

    BREAKING: NZ Police actively confiscating guns. First civilian death resulting from crackdown.

    "By disobeying the posted speed limit, you have demonstrated your willingness to break the law, and are a risk to own a firearm. RED FLAG!" It's fucking scary how easy it will be for them to correlate anything to a red flag bill. All it takes is a little word-smithing from a politician and an...

    BREAKING: NZ Police actively confiscating guns. First civilian death resulting from crackdown.

    This is a point that many have brought up to steer people away from confiscation, but it has not stopped them from pushing it at every opportunity. I'm sure someone said the same exact thing about the first unconstitutional gun control legislature... and then someone else probably said it...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    Not a bad deal at all! Here's another one, using TJX (girls love to shop at TJM, Home Goods and Marshalls...). $2k invested a year ago would have netted you about $600 in capital gains at this time! I'm sure there are much more lucrative options that you could have went with too... This is...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    Lol you paid in full a year ago?! Did you have the option to just put down a deposit? You could have taken that payment and put it into any of a hundred different commonly traded stocks and made several hundred bucks on it by now!

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    I would recommend using something like TW25b grease for the cocking cams and contact face of the lugs. I use a very small amount on these locations and it doesn't run or work its way into the internals of the FPA. I typically wipe the bolt face down after each outing, just using a q-tip and a...

    @sid From a fellow lefty, congratz! I remember the day I got my TL3, I was a giddy little boy.

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    I am curious how you guys can thoroughly clean your firing pin assembly, and then ~200 rounds later it requires cleaning again? Like where is all this grime coming from after just 200 rounds? I don't have a Nucleus but on my TL3 I wiped the FPA clean and dry when I first got it, and hundreds...

    AICS 223 magazine

    AI 223 Mag (Discontinued, but can be found on the PX every now and then) MDT Polymer 223 Mag (Most people recommend these, they also allow for a really long OAL of like 2.550") Accurate Mag 223 (Probably the second most popular, these are metal shell with a polymer insert, will need some very...

    Non Prime .223 precision ammo?

    I've always used FGMM 77gr or Norma Match 77gr for factory match grade 223 ammo. If you are looking to salvage and reload the brass, I would go with the Norma since they are generally known for quality brass, and the FGMM stuff has the "sealed" primer pockets that will need to be swaged/reamed...

    Left the range yesterday extremely disappointed...

    That's what the bolt face looked like after firing 3 rounds?!?!?! This is a brand new rifle? Did you clean or wipe the bolt at all prior to first shooting it? That bolt face should not have any lube/grease on it and should be nice and clean.

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    I understand what you're trying to get at, but at the time it seems stupid. I have read most of this thread and I haven't really seen people starting shit or being disrespectful. I see unhappy customers who have been waiting for months (or over a year?) for something that has been delayed time...

    Bighorn extractor removal

    Take a paper clip, and bend it a bit so you have a straight pointy end, and the rest of the paper clip to grab/hold onto. Compress the extractor spring follower by pushing down through the hole in the extractor. I usually slide the extractor outward, away from the firing pin. You have to...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    Rob, I mean no offense, but since when did we have to be customers of a certain business in order to post on this forum? What about the countless other threads of other products/businesses? Must we have proof of purchase before we can post to those threads? Not seeing how people posting in...
