    Recomendations on air rifle for backyard pest control. Located in town.

    Leave your lawnmower running in the front yard. Anything you shoot will seem very quiet to the neighbors.

    AR22 for .22 PRS/NRL type matches?

    I went down this road hard. Attempt #1 was the .22 conversion that was the basis of JP's earlier offering. Can't for the life of me remember the name. (Edited to add the name was Nordic. Just remembered.) Function was ok, accuracy was so-so. Attempt #2 was one of the CLE conversions with a...

    Criterion hybrid that won’t shoot

    I’m sure you already confirmed that nothing is touching the barrel or gas block inside the hand guard, but you might also look at how much clearance there is. Barrels flex more than seems obvious when firing. You might look at the inside of the hand guard wherever the closest point of contact is...

    What boots are you wearing?

    I ruck 300-350 miles a year training for the SAC and then competing. 45# in the bag. My feet are blister factories. I’ve tried virtually everything in the last ten years. Someone suggested Garmont last spring as I was getting started for the year. Absolute magic. I rucked every mile in them and...

    Buffer vs carrier weight?

    I’ve been down this rabbit hole. As far as I can tell from my testing, it’s the total mass of the system that matters. For example, I can’t discern any difference in accuracy, recoil, or reliability between a light BCG with heavy buffer and heavy BCG with light buffer If the total weight of the...

    Rifle Scopes Zero stop shim sets for SWFA Super Sniper scopes

    Dammit, no. My regular business (custom cabinet and granite business) is working above capacity and I can't seem to break in to the production schedule on my CNC. It won't last forever, so I'm hopeful I can throw the production guys off it for a few hours and run a batch.

    Help me understand the benefits of a JP VMOS vs Full Mass carrier on a permanently suppressed platform?

    I have a VMOS for small frame. Different from your situation, I know. As already stated, the weights do move and provide some additional hammering effect. I got mine for a high reliability.223. It’s enough heavier from the typical LMOS I usually use that I REALLY noticed the difference in the...

    What cartridge?

    That’s what I have. Bartlein blank finished at 24”, +2” gas from Craddock. Should have been stellar. To be fair, I loaded 88 ELDMs exclusively.

    Whats the best of the cheaper ammunition? Eley Target example

    I’ve had great luck with Eley target in several rifles. My Vudoo doesn’t like it even a little bit, but it’s shoots surprisingly well in a couple others. It’s worth a try.

    To paint, or not to paint.

    Paint it! I’ve done several of mine just because I get bored. I’ve used both Krylon and Cerakote. I’m a big Formula 1 fan, and I’m kicking around the idea of painting a couple ARs, one in Redbull‘s color scheme and the other in Ferrari’s. I also did a “camo” paint job years ago with a tan base...

    What cartridge?

    I already have several ARs set up for long range shooting in .223. I have a Valk that has driven me to despair. I’m finished with that barrel at a minimum, and maybe also the cartridge entirely. As a result, I have a tricked out rifle and I need to decide on a new cartridge to try or talk...

    Movie Theater Sony 65” OLED vs Lg 75” QNED?

    I’ll never buy another Sony product. It’s a long story I won’t bore you with. We’ve gone the Samsung route the last few years and couldn’t be happier. LG is reportedly just as bad or worse than Sony in terms of reliability. I’d be careful.

    Ultrasonic/Rimfire Suppressor Cleaning

    On my TBAC, I put the baffles in a small ziplock bag and fill with CLR. Dump that into the ultrasonic filled with water. Works great and uses way less CLR.

    Vudoo 360 Bolt Stop Breaking

    Hard at first, then extremely gently after the first one broke. Like gently enough that sometimes the case doesn’t eject.

    Vudoo 360 Bolt Stop Breaking

    My 360 has now broken 3 bolt stops. It went back to them last week for the mods and they just called to let me know it's on its way back to me. Great service. I can take some pics of what they did when it arrives next week.

    Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

    I’d consider a LPVO, maybe with a red dot as a backup on 1 and 2. Even just 4x on a scope will improve your ability to PID a target before shooting. Might not need the magnification to hit, but you sure might to confirm it’s a valid target. I’ve been sorting through the same thing as you for...
