    Sidearms & Scatterguns Concealed or semi concealed carry options for backpacking

    Check out the hill people gear kit bag. It's not fantastic when you're taking layers on and off, but I think everything is a give and take when you're using a hip belt on a pack and still trying to carry a pistol.

    EC tuner brake

    I understand the hypothesis. I put my results up earlier in the thread.

    EC tuner brake

    Only on the hide does someone validate the effects of tuners by touting groups shot with different suppressors and then proceed to call everyone else an idiot.

    EC tuner brake

    @timintx Thanks for the targets. I think I understand what you're getting at. I'm just not convinced that you're seeing what you think you are. Thanks again.

    EC tuner brake

    If there was reproducible, statistically relevant data that showed the effects of a tuner we wouldn't be having this discussion and they would be a product that could toddle along on it's own merits. However, it doesn't appear to exist and an appeal to authority is the strongest argument for...

    Badger LR-EFR light

    I snagged one a few years ago with the intention of putting it into an EH1. It turned out not to be compatible with the mlok rail I had installed simultaneously. Manners had the lower piece for standard EFR lying around and swapped that in and built up the forend a little to make it work. I'm...

    EC tuner brake

    Do you have any documentation that will show examples of this? Not to come across as a complete contrarian asshole but so far all I have read in this thread is "Believe me, I've seen it, and it works". I have yet to see anyone even throw up any targets of "before tuner, after tuner" etc other...

    Tuner Brakes

    @Rob01 thanks for sharing your experience. In my experience using 2 data points to make a judgement call has not worked out for me. For me personally, I'm getting more and more of the opinion that we are able to shoot tight groups despite all the hand waving we do, whether it's with tuners or...

    Tuner Brakes

    My comment was aimed at the claim that they work fine if you can shoot decent 2 shot groups.

    Tuner Brakes

    That looks like a sweet rifle. And looks like it shoots pretty good. Here is my experience with tuners. Post in thread 'EC tuner brake' https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/ec-tuner-brake.7049680/post-10088555 I can't say that tuners do or do not work. Im skeptical, but I'd like to...

    Tuner Brakes

    I would say that you're going to be better off spending the money on some ammo to practice positional shooting inside your hunting ranges than dicking with a tuner to try to shrink that group further. It will also be more fun. I'm somewhat skeptical of tuners, and certainly don't buy into the...

    Manners LRH Discussion

    The long action mini chassis will accept M5 pattern DBM. My understanding is the external dimensions of the bottom metal do not change with CIP length vs standard. Jut the internal dimensions. I have an LRH with an M5 chassis that fits the hawkins M5 LA hunter just fine.

    EC tuner brake

    As mentioned above. The only thing that can be reliably concluded from my results is that 2 shot groups don't provide the data required to determine a setting. I was surprised that the "without tuner" groups appear smaller, but I'm betting that if I had shot all 30 rounds at 1 target the...

    EC tuner brake

    So I bought a Kinetic Security Solutions adaptive tuner system around a year ago as I was primarily shooting factory ammo and it seemed like it would allow me to tune my rifle to shoot factory ammo. After a frustrating range day of trying to interpret two shot "groups" without seeing any...

    Savage Extractor

    Being a Savage I doubt that they would do anything to purposely aid in feeding, extraction, or ejection. I imagine they were just on the edge of the material when they punched the extractor out of the bottom of an empty natty light can. Sorry for the drive by troll, but my first rifle was a...

    Rifle Scopes Does the ATPIAL-C block sight picture in ACOG?

    It's been a long time since I've ran a TA31 and Peq 15 combo. I can't ever remember having an issue with it obscuring anything. Worst case it will be a little hazy in the lower edge of your FOV. We ran the TA31 with fixed front sight posts and you hardly noticed a slight blur in the image from it.

    Shortest baffle muzzle brake?

    Hawkins has a 2 port that is probably about as short as you'll find.

    I'm pretty sure I can press anything at anytime in anything and get any kind of result you want.

    Top scope brand that costs 4k+ keeps cracking

    My bet is one of @Dirty D 's creatures sat on it and cracked the glass. OP is just ashamed to admit it.
