    SHTF Carbine: What Trigger Would YOU Use?

    CMC flat bow 3.5lb single stage was my first better than mil-spec trigger. It was a revelation compared to the two gritty, sloppy, creepy 7lb mil specs I’d been using. Fast forward about 10 different improved triggers later and it’s by far my least favorite. I can comfortably recommend a half...

    SHTF Carbine: What Trigger Would YOU Use?

    I replaced my SSA-E with a Triggertech and while I like the TT a little better for precision stuff that SSA-E is a seriously great trigger. Definitely a better option for a shtf gun in my opinion.

    SHTF Carbine: What Trigger Would YOU Use?

    I’ve heard this from more than one source. All of mine have been great but the newest was purchased in 2016 (back before the BCM PNT had come out or just after). If buying today I’d probably give the BCM a shot.

    BREAKING: Herman Cain Has Died of Coronavirus

    Kinda funny that I added that last line as a throwaway sarcasm...and it turns out apparently it really is just me 🤣

    NEW XRS Chassis from MDT - Crossover Rifle Stock

    My FDE Howa chassis arrives Weds. I’ll post pics for everyone who’s interested in earth tones.

    SHTF Carbine: What Trigger Would YOU Use?

    Love my triggertechs on my target guns but for shtf guns I like a little more track record and the standard design over a drop in. I’d probably stick with the larue you’ve already got as well. ALG on my shtf pistol and geissele g2 on my shtf carbine. Neither is flat face or 3 lb pulls but there...

    Large FRame AR barrel options.

    Faxon and BA are the only companies I’ve had 3+ barrels from. Faxon are generally lighter and make for great field guns, BA have consistently been a little more accurate for me (about a half moa on average I’d say). If you want sub-moa you’ll either need to get a boutique like Criterion, get...

    Large FRame AR barrel options.

    Yeah if you’re shooting 800yds you realistically need a 2MOA or better gun. At 3MOA you’ll have a 2ft spread and could easily be off the plate at 800yds even if you get everything else right. Gotta put some money into the barrel if you want to shoot that far accurately. Anderson is for 400yd and...

    BREAKING: Herman Cain Has Died of Coronavirus

    You don’t have to be shocked or offended, you just have to recognize he’d still be breathing if he’d taken this seriously rather than sipped the kool aid. I’d rather be alive at 75 than dead at 74 for a pretty preventable reason, but maybe that’s just me.

    BREAKING: Herman Cain Has Died of Coronavirus

    I know exactly what he’s doing: it’s a dual-purpose statement meant to sow distrust and start prepping an excuse for losing while giving him the deniability cover of saying “nah I’m just driving the libs crazy for a news cycle.” But that first purpose is the primary one, and sowing distrust in...

    How high will the price of 5.56 go?

    I’ve long held off on getting into reloading by telling myself I have more money than time at $0.35/rnd. But there’s definitely a point where those lines cross, and $1.50 is probably past it.

    Large FRame AR barrel options.

    What’s the purpose of the rifle? What’s the final build generally look like and do? That info will help steer you towards or away from Faxon or BA or a boutique like Criterion.

    Liberals are buying guns.

    I get the “typically make things worse” point, but saying no government has ever fixed anything is pretty deep out in left field. I seem to recall the US govt and the Soviet govt — two VERY different govts — fixing the Hitler problem quite effectively. Governments fix plenty of things, they...

    Liberals are buying guns.

    I am all for lefties getting religion on guns. Have had a couple lefty friends and even coworkers (in Chicago no less!) reach out to the known gun nut in the group -- me -- about a first purchase since the pandemic got hot. Maybe they'll think differently about gun policy in the next local Dem...

    How high will the price of 5.56 go?

    Just wait until it's clear the Rs will lose the Senate...then you can probably 2x all these "crazy" prices. I've got a decent stash but not as much as I'd like to be able to shoot recreationally the next couple years without taking out a 2nd mortgage.

    Defund this, bitches!

    Exactly. Can't pull out of something that ain't happening. This is the equivalent of "you can't fire me, I quit!"

    BREAKING: Herman Cain Has Died of Coronavirus

    What an incredible statement of weakness. This is what someone who thinks they're going to lose says. $20 says the Lincoln Project will have an ad about this by the weekend. Herman Cain lived a great life but he died a fool. Just a famous-person version of the pastors who thought faith would...

    Best Muzzle Brake for the money

    Yep, may be dated but it led me to a Little Bastard so I can’t be upset. Would love to see how a couple of the newer designs perform in the same testing regimen.

    NEW XRS Chassis from MDT - Crossover Rifle Stock

    Thanks guys, super excited! Should make for a better vacay than leaving a naked barreled action at home 😁

    NEW XRS Chassis from MDT - Crossover Rifle Stock

    Random question for MDT: any idea on when the FDE XRS Chassis are shipping? Ordered one the other day, going on vacation in the woods starting Aug 11th and would love to take a new rifle build with me but don’t want to get my hopes up if it’s still a month out or something. Thanks!
