    Small bore cannons

    Its all about scale. just like Sirhr eluded to. A couple people around me have golf ball cannons. Low pressure cheap to shoot. Much more like a salute cannon rather than a "real one pounder" Do not trust just anybody with cannon info. Find someone that actually knows what is going on. Too many...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 10mm 1911 recommendations

    I had a trp Springfield longslide 10mm. 1300 rounds the slide was very loose. I sent it back and they "polished the feed ramp" like magic the slide wasn't rattley any more. Sold the damn thing and have not looked back. Buy an sti and be happy.

    Understood. Even with the photoshop in real life she must be hideous! Still need names and where to find more pictures.

    Wherever this image came from seems to be a national secret. Is this an ai generated image or modified image or is she a real person? Many inquiring minds want to know.

    Precision 50 Beowulf (12.7x42)?

    You can't use bmg projectiles unless you size them down .010, quite an operation. Beowulf uses .500 bullets like a 500 smith and wesson. 50 bmg uses .510 diameter bullets. Take a look at 510 wsm or 500 whisper those have been done on precision rifles. I have a 510wsm still working on accuracy...

    Gunsmithing Barrel - Cut for a different action and rechamber?

    Read through the responses. Quite a few situation dependent reasons

    PSA PA10 (308) Experiment

    Its all a balancing act. Adjustable gas block can help reduce bottoming out of the buffer and felt recoil. A heavier buffer can help from the other end. No free lunch with recoil. Jist making it feel different and more plesant.

    Gunsmithing Barrel - Cut for a different action and rechamber?

    This is true to a point. Careful boring/drilling can reduce issues. I say can reduce issues because sometimes there is nothing to do but cut off the chamber/throat and start over if there is enough barrel.

    What's the most horrifying two-animal hybrid you can think of?

    Gunsmithing Barrel - Cut for a different action and rechamber?

    Its not that its a bad idea , I dont think so anyway. I think a decision needs to be weighed against all factors. An f class competitor knows the history and origin of the barrel. Much easier to make that decision especially when the barrel shoots well

    Gunsmithing Barrel - Cut for a different action and rechamber?

    Personally I have done exactly what you are asking about. Taken a used but not abused barrel and rethreaded and chambered for a different setup. Worked well for me. I went from a 260 rem that was not performing well to a 6.5x55 that did very well. Seemed the extra speed is just what that barrel...

    Gunsmithing Barrel - Cut for a different action and rechamber?

    Lots of variables to consider . Just to start, contour of the barrel, number of rounds fired or condition of the bore, and cost of the labor. All of these things add up to most people that pay to have barrels threaded and chambered just put new barrels on builds. Many people don't like the...

    And now for something different... Recoilless Large Frame AR

    Most of us are not going to use something like that for fast and sustained fire. I bet it is just a sweetheart prone.

    Bushmaster 17s

    Thank you I should have known Ian would have a video.

    Bushmaster 17s

    My Google/bing/duckduck go skills have failed me. Has anyone here removed the barrel from a bushmaster 17s bullpup? Do "standard" ar barrels fit? Or is there a proprietary barrel extension etc? Thinking about doing a socom thumper , either 458 or 375.
