    Corona put my relationship on the rocks.

    You got a kid on the way: game time. You have an innocent new life depending on you to be a man. First you and your lady need to sit down with a good counselor. This isn’t going to just magically get better after CV-19 and you both need to get your head in the game. You are not going to get the...

    Rifle Scopes VORTEX OPTICS AWARDED OTA FOR THE US ARMY’S COMPETITIVELY SOLICITED NEXT GENERATION SQUAD WEAPON FIRE CONTROL

    Dang, there goes more of my money once this hits the civilian shelves. I’m also looking forward to integration with higher power scopes. Vortex/Dave. I hope you all knock this out of the park and set a new standard. Best of luck to you. Just don’t forget the rest of us! Integrated ranging...

    Bartlein Carbon Wrapped Barrels

    I saw the post, and this does spark joy 😉 Additional quality options in this space can only be good. Good means Proof level, not CA and problematic... Digging the colors: totally unnecessary sure, but if available why not?

    BREAKING: Kim Jong Un in "grave condition" (possibly brain dead) after cardiovascular surgery.

    His death will be a perfect spark to a war. Wars are perfect distractions. Distractions are never in the best interest of the greater population.

    Which upper receiver for a precision build?

    I’m a Mega fanboy, but can’t seem to find them much anymore. I’m trying the Aero enhanced for my next build, although seekins looks to make a beefy upper as well with a modified receiver to hand guard union. I too would like to hear other options for my next-next build ?

    WTF did I just see?

    Probably Starlink, or a fresh deployment of orbiting hardware getting into position. SpaceX (among others) are sending up 2 dozen satellites per launch. Different folks from telecommunications to the military own the individual units, the rocket is a taxi for hire. Amazon is also looking to...

    Suppressors Best Multi Caliber Suppressor

    There are many, many great cans out there now. The market has weeded out most of the low performers and the brands left are usually really good: I’ve seen some truly horrible cans made by small operations no longer in business long ago (thankfully they weren’t mine, but dang there were some...

    New press announcement from Area 419

    Looks amazing. High end engineering does tend to trickle down to lower end equipment designs eventually; which is good for poors like me! We’ll, I’m not poor poor, or at least wasn’t until I started these hobbies. . .

    Let's go be privateers off the coast of China

    Fascinating concept, and brilliant. Most large ships have GPS tracking and often share locations to reduce accidents at sea. Sites like the following show vessels, speed, ports, etc which would help target vessels. https://www.marinetraffic.com Sure, sharing would get turned off eventually...

    Buying Tempilaq

    Here is the thread, a ton of good info. I missed the thread before, but now have to join the cool kids and build one: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/homemade-induction-annealer.6966638/#post-8031348

    Rifle Scopes 1200 bucks. two options.

    I’ve had such bad experiences with Nikon at the commercial side in regard to their refusal to honor their warranties I would go the other option, any other option. Plus Nikon doesn’t appear to have long term interest in maintaining their scope presence so that may increase risk of ownership...

    Buying Tempilaq

    Oops @Ryridesmotox: just found your post in the Homemade induction thread. Dang, now I have another project I gotta start. Probably have to get some stuff from Mcmaster Carr now too....

    Buying Tempilaq

    That is a sweet annealer. Would you be willing to share the plans/parts list?

    OK I'm like WTF is this shit?

    My wife joins me in my expensive hobbies, and she even knows what just about every round costs to buy or reload. Same with firearms, and she has a good BS detecter. Lying to your spouse is wrong: some dudes need to man up.

    Got my Trump stimulus money

    Nothing on my end yet... I keep checking my accounts.

    California goes extra retard.....

    That sounds like state sponsored theft to me. Granted, I believe theft by the masses is still theft, which is why I’m not a fan of pure democracies where herd mentality tramples rights “for the good of the many” BS.

    Upper for a Mega Maten lower

    I’m in the same boat. Love Mega and now have a fiery anger deep down for Zev because they killed it. Zev is dead to me. Long live the memory of Mega Arms. I’ve heard rumors Centurion Arms and Genesis CNC uppers will fit Mega Maten, but I’ve not had the time to purchase and test yet personally...

    Suppressors Quick Connect to Direct Thread

    I’ve used an omega and harvester big bore with both direct thread and ASR, no noticeable difference in accuracy across AR (small and large) and precision platforms. There is a POI shift but that’s to be expected. I crank my muzzle devices down pretty hard, and my ASR has zero wiggle, so maybe...

    Suppressors Quick Connect to Direct Thread

    The brand you are considering may not offer direct thread options if the quick connect was purchased, but if the quick connect adapter uses the 1.375x24 industry standard it won’t matter because other companies offer what you are looking for. At this point I would not buy any centerfire rifle...

    Robinson Armament XCR-M...what am I missing?

    I had one, sold it. Mixed emotions, kind of wish I hadn’t, but I rolled it onto another project so life goes on. With hand loads, i was getting 5 shot groups of 3/4 MOA, but I may just have gotten lucky, 147 Hornady and Varget was the trick. Recoil was mild. I didn’t have a suppressor at the...
