    Who makes a non shit inch pound torque wrench that goes to 140 inch/lb

    I have been using CDI for a long time now. You could used to send them back in and they would check calibration/adjust if they needed it for free. Idk if that has changed since Snap-on acquired them. I haven’t sent my stuff in several years.

    One Can, One Mount, Three Rifles... ASR & A419

    I dont run ASR on my bolt guns(i know you asked about that)but I have a Saker K 556 that i swap between 3 AR’s(2 of those I regularly shoot groups with and longer range stuff). The repeatability of the ASR system has been good for me. I have read all the hate for ASR systems and I have not...

    30-06 still relevant?

    I agree with most of what you’re saying but I disagree with the part about 7.62x51 achieving the same velocities as 30-06. The gap is smaller with factory loaded ammo but it’s not uncommon for 30-06 to be loaded with 15gr-30gr heavier bullets and easily achieve 100fps or more than 7.62x51 or...

    Do I really Need a $400 Mount?

    Now my serious answer….. a $400 mount is absolutely not necessary. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for though. If you purchased a $2,000 scope, I wouldn’t buy a $50 ncstar mount or whatever else chinese stuff is out there. Typically your more expensive mounts will offer more options...

    Do I really Need a $400 Mount?

    I would say the $400 mount is totally worth it. I thought I read on the interwebs that money buys skill or something like that.

    AR Tactical 15x power scope

    I only offered up my take of the Vortex because I do not have experience with the other optics you listed. Plenty of reviews on the options you gave around the site. Do your research here, and get prices from our vendors here, most of them will help you out.

    AR Tactical 15x power scope

    If he plans to compete with it and especially with .223/5.56 out to 600 yards reading wind and using the reticle to determine follow up shots will be a must. With that said, i would only be considering Mil based reticles/turrets. Not a model you mentioned but I have had good luck with my...

    30-06…. Anyone use this anymore ?

    Here is my 30-06 and a 5 shot group it pit down the day I brought it home from a rebarrel and loads from my previous barrel. I think it had about 10-15 rounds down the barrel at this point. Rem 700 action, 28” Bartlein barrel with PT&G Serengeti “rev D” cut chamber and my TBAC U7 on the end.. it...

    Ultra 7. Super impressed

    I run my ultra 7’s on all their hosts without ear pro, they are definitely quiet. Never bothers me then or afterwards. I have previous hearing loss from service. Do as I say, not as I do…. Wear your earpro.

    Any 223 pet loads for 16-18” bolt guns?

    WOA 18” 1/8 twist gets me 2750fps avg with 25.8gr of varget and 69gr smk. I could push it a little harder and keep good velocity spreads and groups but brass life goes down the pooper.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    It sucks man but unfortunately this will continue to happen until someone with some pull holds the AFT accountable and makes them get their process straight… and I don’t really see that happening soon.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I just submitted a E form 4 on a TBAC Dominus this past Monday(09/26/2022)and my fingerprint cards were sent out the same day. Im really hoping for Mar-April ‘23.

    TBAC flash hider vs muzzle brake

    My personal opinion…. If you have a need to mitigate flash for shooting without the can then the flash hider would be a benefit to you, if not, I would run the brake.

    TBAC flash hider vs muzzle brake

    What is the specs of the rifle in question? I have a .30 ultra 7 that has been ran fairly hard at times on a 8” 300blk(CB brake) and also a 18” AR which is my “spr or dmr” style rifle and it has the CB flash hider on it. Those two guns are probably the hardest on the suppressor as the other...

    TBAC flash hider vs muzzle brake

    If you are concerned about the noise, the brake will be louder than the flash hider but how much will you notice when you have a trophy elk in the scope?? Only you can determine if one would be better over the other(both will be loud without ear pro or the suppressor). Now for the durability...

    Gunsmithing M12 Gas Block

    If you can’t it fit in the freezer then use a can of air duster upside down and freeze the parts you meed like that. It will ice up but just wipe it down good when you’re done.

    Safariland Liberator 2.0 opinions

    I don’t double up ear pro ever. Clarity is good, and I find no issue discerning direction of noise or voices. Our whole team runs them and they have been great for us. They have seen lots of rain, fairly cold/hot temperatures and like I mentioned earlier blasts. No issues out of them for the...
