    School me on titanium actions

    While several may have tried and ceased making them, I really doubt it's due to liability. Ability to handle impact is a function of the heat treatment of titanium, same as other metals, and safety factor is a function of how strong it is compared to the loads it has to handle. Both of those...

    357 Lever Action with Threaded Barrel Options?

    Sounds like you know what's what in regards to handloads and making the 300 Blk quieter, so that's an advantage. IME though the bigger bore of the 357 is still an advantage for subs; it's easier to get hollow points to perform right, at least in my experience with making cast bullet molds...

    Suppressors POI shift experiment with suppressors

    What you're describing indicates a consistency issue with the mount. Maybe it's nasty with fouling, or maybe alignment isn't very good and/or the mount isn't locking up consistently. With a decent mount that locks up the same way every time, there should be no change in POI if you pull the...

    357 Lever Action with Threaded Barrel Options?

    To answer a question in the OP - you're not overthinking the twist rate; it matters a lot. 1:30 is stupid slow for any sort of suppressed setup, that'd be a hard pass for me. 1:16 will handle up to 250gr or a bit more depending on bullet design, using .358 cal rifle bullets. I shoot a few...

    Suppressor wall for 308

    Yeah I'd choose 17-4 over 304 too. Or, if this is a threaded tube as it appears? then maybe go with grade 5 titanium; the tube is a little more $$ but not too bad. If this is a threaded can, even with 17-4 I'd want that .065" thickness to be at the thread root; don't just start with .065" tube...

    6gt

    Yeah I’ve been real impressed with these 112 MB in the 6GT.

    Bolt face change?

    IMO, you're better off sticking with the .473" bolt face in a bolt action, and can still accomplish what you want. 6 BR, 6 Dasher, even 6 GT are all much smaller than the Creed (or 22 versions of each), and only just slightly bigger than the PPC/ARC/Grendel cases. A big advantage though is the...

    Polishing nitrided action

    Why would you want to remove the nitriding? It's not there for looks, it's for function (wear resistance, lower friction, and corrosion resistance). If you want the color to be uniform, parkerizing (which you can do at home with pretty minimal equipment) will bring it back to black again. I've...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Dilemma

    Yes, in practical terms that’s correct. The drawings will specify what maximum tolerances the manufacturer allows, but the tooling may create parts to a tighter tolerance than the drawing. In the case of Trijicon’s RMR sights, 308pirate is right that I don’t know what Trijicon specifies for...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Dilemma

    Typical response from you - you don't have the experience to talk about the facts presented, so you attack my credibility instead. Anyone caring to read back can see that pattern in this thread and every other one where someone doesn't support your claims. The RMR tolerances I mentioned are...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Dilemma

    :rolleyes: No. Just stop with the know-it-all bs. You're a relative newcomer to this but want to teach everyone else what you know, same as every other subject. First, Trijicon initially put those holes for bosses in the RMR because it was designed to mount on the ACOG, not a milled pistol...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    You'll get an email immediately from the E-forms system when it's approved. Then your dealer will see it too; depending on your dealer and how often they're checking for approval notifications it might be immediately to a day or two later. Mine seems to have a lot of NFA transfers going on right...

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    I'm trying to picture how you grip it with that folding stock, but it does look like a fun time. What kind of can do you use with it? I'm half hoping it's some sort of tack-welded contraption of iron pipe and freeze plugs. :D

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Dilemma

    Say what now? What part of anything I said would lead you to that? Maybe you mean something different by it, but around here that would be the meth heads or the cheapskate old guys stealing everyone's brass. I've known a couple of those old guys, usually the type who quote things like "average...

    20 Practical

    If you're trying to use smaller powder charges, then Lever is not the powder for you; it's a dense powder that does require heavier charge weights. The benefits of Lever are top velocity (really, nothing else comes close with 39-40gr bullets in the 20 Tac or Prac) with easy accuracy, and it...

    Rainer arms ultra match ar-15 barrel damage

    The bit in bold above sounds to me like your barrel extension was too soft. IMO there's a reason nobody else uses TiN coatings on them. A thought to consider from the other side though - Varget is on the fast end of burn rate for the 6 ARC, and it's easy to get short duration but high peak...

    Rainer arms ultra match ar-15 barrel damage

    If that 800° F number is accurate (I'm not saying it isn't, just something I haven't looked into), and it's done after heat treatment, then yeah it most likely is affecting the hardness of the barrel extension a lot. This will have some generalizations and is simplified, but the process of heat...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Dilemma

    I love the minimal effort 7-10 yard goals. You're really making some achievements there, lol. Why are you even wanting a red dot? :rolleyes: Between you and the two goobers you're listening to, y'all have quite the tard sandwich going on. I don't know the other gamer kid, but last time we...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Last week I got an approval email on Saturday evening, Pacific time. Must be just an automated system doing it's thing 24/7 maybe?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Dilemma

    This has got to be the dumbest post in this thread. Classic gun gamer mentality. Try getting some training from people focused on civilian carry (reactive application), not a competition shooter. Priorities there are very different, which anyone who's actually taken the time to study would know...
