    PRS Talk Reliable timer for suppressed rifle?

    I own and like this one from Kestrel. Simple to set up and use, conforms to your spec, but pricey: https://kestrelballistics.com/shot-timer?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA98WrBhAYEiwA2WvhOth0vg5sXZAH9axmLjQJgSH2aHd4_t6_q58rweEALC2YkqFGlciL5hoCI30QAvD_BwE

    AR barrel tuning experiment

    These are all helpful suggestions. Hadn't even thought about McMaster Carr as a resource for this. Much appreciated, thank you all.

    AR barrel tuning experiment

    The question before this august body is this: is there some kind of add on part, wrap, weight or other material that I can add to a New York state legal AR barrel to improve group size with commercial ammunition? The rifle is a stock JP rig with a 16 inch, 1:8 twist street legal barrel with no...

    Ultimate long range soft case

    This is the link I neglected to post in the prior reply: https://www.aim-fieldsports.com/shop/aim-50-dragbag/ Best fit and finish I have seen on a drag bag. You will find them in a variety of sizes up to 60 inches.

    Ultimate long range soft case

    You want this one, if "ultimate" is really your goal. Pricey, but exceptionally well made, and they pass the dust and dog hair under the bed test. MOLLE webbing in the main compartment and in the longer of the two side pockets; the smaller side pocket has literal sewn in pockets deep enough...

    Ruger PCC loose charging handle

    Wanted to solicit advice about the charging handle on a Ruger PCC 9mm. I have it torques down to 65 inch lbs as Ruger suggests, but the handle still walks loose after 50-60 rounds through the rig. The shooting pattern usually is 2 rounds in succession on a target, then 2 on the next one, etc...

    Storing Pelican cases

    I have a set of Pelican 1750 rifle length cases that are going into storage, now that the rigs are at their destination. Odd question: do I store them latched closed, left slightly open, left wide open? Have seen elsewhere on the Hide some concerns about the closed cases being moisture...

    Shipping ammunition

    The peace of mind comments register with me. I totally get that. And like you I am particular about taking care of it all. Would like to believe I can find a freight shipper that can provide peace of mind, but so far can't identify a company willing to take it on. That might be me calling...

    Shipping ammunition

    Thank you. I am trying to avoid packing 35 boxes of ammunition, each 60 lbs, thus the original question. New York law ambiguous, as usual, on this subject since it is private ownership and not a transaction, but I am looking into whether an FFL needs to be involved. That is the least of the...

    Shipping ammunition

    Need a recommendation for a commercial shipping outfit to get 2000 pounds +/- of ammunition from California to New York. Could use UPS but would prefer to do it all in one throw rather than endless packages. Ideally the shipping company would collect it as well. The ammunition is privately...

    PCC set up questions

    Recently bought a JP GMR15, have a Holosun 510C to put on it, and once I get some practice behind me am intending to do local USPSA competitions. Which leads to: any advice on zero distance for that likely use? My dive into the rabbit hole on the web comes up with 15 and 25 yards as most...

    Shotgun side saddle

    Thanks for these posts. What an education. Appreciate the 00 hallway test, that is what I had in mind for myself, so useful to have that comparison to work with. Also hadn't thought of a hand stop to help manage recoil, great idea. Browncoat looks like another good alternative. And those...

    Shotgun side saddle

    Thank you all, great advice. The Esstac looks like a good solution, and appreciate the guidance about #4 and #1 buck and Flight Control. Would prefer a tighter grouping load if possible. I have some #00 nine pellet to get started, but no experience with any of these. Is over penetration of...

    Shotgun side saddle

    Bought a Mossberg 590A1 and looking to add a side saddle. Would prefer not to cover the pins on the receiver if possible, simply out of convenience. My first shotgun, so no experience or preference as to polymer, nylon or other options. Any advice, recommendations, or links to additional...
