    Ok, I've started the process of mass emailing to make sure I have what's needed to categorize who has what generation of action and to complete what's needed to streamline the ordering process. I've been sending 10 emails at a time today and the first 50 have gone out. I'll continue with this...

    You're absolutely right. Magazine hangers directly attached to the receiver are a good way to go and there is an application where I'll use one, just not on a true-to-scale receiver. And, I'm always open to your opinion, Dude. MB

    These are good points and to be learned from. What should've happened is a published education series that welcomes new shooters/owners into the fold and part of the series is how to properly set up a barreled action. Those experiencing the issues aren't to blame. MB

    The issues were notably worse with the higher volume of barreled actions being shipped. Pretty easy to track the history. MB

    I don’t think I said there were feed issues and I’m noting small diameter receivers and didn’t specifically mention CZ or Tikka. I noted damage to bullets, again in small diameter receivers. Not saying it happens in all of them. To be clear, I will never use anything but an AICS style magazine...

    Yessir, I believe we're on the same page, but the feed timing issue will still be there. The small metal magazines are set up for a small diameter receiver and there are a few other dimensions that dictate timing for the small diameter receiver, but the bullets are still damaged en route to the...

    Exactly. And so far, from where I sit, time did tell, and I have reason to remain highly protective of this community. Thanks, Dude, your post is spot on. MB

    I hear you; positivity is a good thing and making something better of it is certainly the goal and you might notice, not many people are even focused on them anymore. But how's this for a scenario to put things in context.... A Doctor fails to show up on the day of a scheduled surgery and gave...

    Just thinking out loud and I'm tracking on the farm thing, but let's take a moment to reflect on a few things: Closed up shop with no prior notice, fired the employees without allowing them to properly prepare for what it meant to be suddenly unemployed No one to answer phones, email No...

    The reason for a larger magazine envelope in a centerfire sized receiver is to properly handle feed timing. It has been proven in many instances that small form factor 22LR magazines have been unreliable in a receiver diameter of 1.350". This is why Remington was not successful at making a...

    Although you made me laugh, I do take the button part very seriously. There's definitely a button in my new magazine(s). MB

    I've discussed the great slurry scandal with a number of BR guys, but I don't remember the time period. The change certainly seems to have negatively impacted (pardon the pun) what is seen on the target. MB

    From what I'm finding, the man, Army officer, shooter and the rifle are an incredible part of history and to be highly admired. Wow. I've not found anything about the 6mm part, but I certainly have reason to believe it. These are the qualities we should all use as examples and to aspire to...

    Yo Dude, I'm here. Since @Tokay444 and @jbell (jbell has owned and maybe still owns some of the nicest 22s I know of, including a Sauer) were 100% correct to mention the Feinwerkbau, Elmiger & Grunig, Walther, Anschutz, etc., I've revisited a few things I've discussed with the U.S. Olympic...

    I want to say I've seen groups at the test center in the area of 10mm at 50m for 25 or more shots, so definitely out of rifles considered to be a cut above. MB

    Good point^^^^. For the sake of the question and the application of DLC, the V-22 bolt assembly components are finished such that they're a good host for DLC. If the parts are currently Cerakoted, ask the coater if they'll blast and prep. Some do, some don't. MB

    Depending on the part, at least a 32 Ra finish, but I look at Rz as well. You can pass a 32 Ra, but have visible profile outages that technically, would still pass the 32 Ra (or better) call out. @Mechdesigner may have more input on this. MB

    Ok, that's cool, at least you're trying. I can work with that.... MB
