    Did I hear correctly that yeti is killing mystery Ranch?

    lol. I guess Dana cashed out again. I worked in the outdoor industry back in the day and had quite a few Dana Designs packs (still have a couple but can't say that I'd actually use them again, they are crazy heavy compared to todays packs (terraplane, Astralplane, Bomb, etc.). Met him a few...

    Criterion barrels - Accuracy

    If you want to see what the ammo/barrel combination is capable, most companies consider Federal Gold Medal Match to the industry standard when looking at group sizes. For 223, usually 77gr SMK, 175gr 308, etc. You don't have to go buy a case but 2 boxes should give you a solid representation of...

    Bergara b-14r pic thread

    Anyone got a photo or close up of the area 419 weighted rail mounted on the OE HMR stock? Wanted to get ideas of where to drill before I tear into it.

    Shooting the 6mm ARC through a 5.56 can?

    or just buy a can that is advertised as a 6mm can. I know there's a lot of DA hate but the new Lazarus 6 is rated to 6mm. Would be good for an ARC or MAX round if you wanted to go in that direction. Seems a few others are offering a 6mm can that would work fine in 5.56 and 6mm.

    B14R setup

    do you mind getting me a shot of your ARCA rail mounted and how you mounted it? finally got the weighted Area 419 rail and as mentioned the front screws don't line up. Saw your description of drilling and using T-nuts and a 1 3/8" action screw but just thought I'd see where you did the drilling...

    MDT LRA MV3 Electronic Level

    still waiting on mine but sometimes companies will put a date code on the packaging/catalogs so that they know what version of the packaging they are using or printing. given that these are usually backordered (current wait times on their website is 8-10 weeks I think) I doubt if you got one...

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    not that I want to go that heavy but I just ordered a Marlin Dark 45-70 and plan to shoot subs in it mostly. Got info on the molds you are using and rough idea of loads? I was thinking I would like a mold around 400-405gr mainly because I can use the Maker bullets for hunting if I go in that...

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    Great info here. I've been shooting suppressed for a little while (22, 30 and 45 cans) but usually at ranges where there are others around and hard to really get a better feel for what's "quiet" vs "quieter". :) For sure the 22lr is giggle quiet and that's what I play with a lot when i'm outside...

    1953 Win. model 94 32 special value?

    I have a similar rifle (1923 production date) that I may be selling in the near future. A lot of the value of the rifle is dependent upon the condition of the wood, chamber, bore, etc. But yes, $700 would be very low unless it's in rough condition. I would guess between $1000 and $2500 (big...

    New Labradar LX

    I have to laugh a little about Garmin and the consensus on SH about them. I guess I've been using Garmin GPS units for close to 25-30 years now. I used one daily for many years (traveling) and had a lot of issues with the units but they were really the only game in town. Slow processors...

    Best AR manufactures

    Always interesting to read threads about brands. I have friends that often ask me what AR15 to purchase (folks that are new to the AR platform and know nothing about them but want to learn). In the past I always recommended buying a full assembled rifle from a reputable manufacturer that...

    What the fuck, LMT?

    Learning Machining Together... Say what you will but they do have some unique stuff that has a place on the market. Hopefully the QC will catch up. I've had my defender 2000 lower/MRP upper for years and will more than likely buy a MARS-l in the near future. and to the OP, charge your phone. :)

    AR Mount Recommendations

    ARC M-brace or the traditional M10 rings if you want lighter and don't need to add on accessories. I use these on most of my rifles now... https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1024428347?pid=681744

    Bedding a barrel/chamber to action Ruger 77/22

    That sounds like a lot of work with questionable results and hard to walk it back. IMHO one of these days I'll just send my 77/22's (I have a 22lr and a 22 hornet) to CPC and have them work their magic. I've read nothing but good things about their work and they seem to be the best when it...

    Winchester 52's

    What's the consensus on the Browning M52's? I've got one (24" barrel, 91-92 production) that I'm just now starting to shoot (got my daughter a Bergara B14r and setting that up). Put a set of the warne scope mounts on it and mounted a Nikon EFR 3-9x rimfire scope on it to see what it'll do. I...

    Help finding Keymod nut!

    Maybe call Vltor? since they designed it and are still selling KeyMod stuff, i would guess they have them. Not listed on the website, but I would assume they have plenty of KeyMod stuff on hand.

    OK to dry fire a Bergara B14

    if you have a friend with a 3d printer, print some 22lr dummy rounds out of TPU. I can actually work the action on the B14r and load the mags with the rubber rounds.

    Gunsmithing Running Automotive Grease in Firearms

    just started using the SOTAR lube- Mobile 1 synthetic grease and Mobile 1 synthetic oil. Mixed to a consistency of honey and put in a squeeze bottle. Use the grease by itself if heavier grease is needed, or the oil if lighter. Other than that, I use specific gun related stuff when assembling...
