    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    Just a follow up on the Haley kit and chafing. Dropping it 2” and flat taping every adjuster and roll worked. It ran fine, no rubs or chafing. Any time lost on these stages was 100% operator headspace and timing. I may still see if ATS can custom make me one, but this works. The bison belt...

    Thank you, G. She’s grown up a lot since the last time you saw her at ORSA, knitting with Jim and Bobs wives :) 188 runners this year, with 200 more on the wait list and another 60 people in the wait list to be volunteers. Matt and team put in a world class match.

    2024 Legion Memorial Run and Gun, Honoring the Fallen as a Family

    This past weekend I had the honor of participating in the 2024 Legion Memorial Run and Gun. Legion is an annual charity event put on to raise awareness and funds for the Special Forces Foundation, Chapter 38 who assists 5th Special Forces Group members and their families in times of need.

    Barrel rifling

    I’ve shot dozens of 4-6 grooves and don’t see any difference in barrel performance or life. I find a good barrel is a good barrel.

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    Though not nearly what you had to deal with, I should have learned from the lessons above. I ran the last 2-3 miles in some heavy rain and the scope mount nuts, bolt release and my safety rusted up pretty good over night.

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    You had a great finish yesterday. The heat on Friday was no shit. It’s never 90 on Cagle Mountain. I’m surprised nobody went down with heat exhaustion with that heat and humidity . Great run!

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    I shot 1:8 for years with 69s, the original Nosler 75s and the 80gr SMK and it shot great. Didn’t mean to imply the twist was an issue, just that I don’t know if AMU used it. Last time I shot next to them, they were running 6.5 or 6 twists with 90gr JLKs. I was policing Walter’s brass on the...

    Tactical/Target Rifle w/WOOD

    I have wanted a curly maple prone stock pattered off the Robertson Composite original for years. They have a very thin pistol grip and would need a metal rod in the grip, but man would that stock set my AI Coopermatch off. Anshutz rail stopped 3/4 from the end of the stock, WTC cheek piece and...

    Shawn Ryan/Trump Interview

    I’m not implying I’m not voting for him . I just have a hard time with his scattered speeches and the way he present himself sometimes. I have read and heard in private is isn’t like this at all. Publicly, he Just rubs me the wrong. Prefect example was his reaction to the fake Rogan story...

    Shawn Ryan/Trump Interview

    Maybe, but I’m so sick of hearing “I did this” and “I did that”. I was the greatest ever .. bla bla bla like he didn’t have a team. A team he publicly destroyed if he even thought they might poke at him. Great at policy, horrible leader. I’d say it to him if asked, you’ve been President...

    Hot weather rain gear advice

    I concur and I like nylon pants (REI has some cheap 5 belt loop, articulated with elastic in the back that are awesome at $30) and something like a Nike quick dry shirt or a Columbia/Huk quick dry light shirt. I actually wear cotton Tees mostly,knowing it’s going to suck and I just accept it...

    Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy

    Loosing the fiber is pretty common I guess. My buddy had his a month or so before I bought mine. If you run an aggressive fitting schedule, this pistol gets hot. He lost his and replaced it with red. The fibers is cheap and can be changed on the range with a knife and a lighter so ehhhh. Not...

    2024 Legion Memorial Run and Run - who’s going?

    I ordered my kid a pair of Speed Assults for her 5K. She was going to do it in gortex hikers. I’ve made that mistake and don’t want to see her suffer through that. When I go confirm zerod she’s going to try a few pistols and see which one she wants to run. She busts my balls about wanting to...

    2024 Legion Memorial Run and Run - who’s going?

    “Final” prep of some stuff today. Replaced a frayed quick lace on one of my boots (how bad would that suck if it let go a mile in?) Amazon has a really nice set that looks like the adjustment is going to hold up like a Solomon does. I’ll use it this weekend to make sure it’s going to work...
