    What type of malfunction is this - when bullet doesnt eject

    What I don't understand is the "click". When you pop a primer its loud, like, radio is turned way up kinda loud. Whereas the "click" of a trigger is nothing. Op, did you hear a trigger "click", like dry fire, or did you hear a distinctive POP (but not a BOOM obviously). If pop, consider...

    Will I make it to 1000?

    No, I'm not waiting for brass, I can't reload. I'm waiting for production of factory 6.5CM to drastically increase so that economies of scale can bring the price down to .308 levels, or close to.

    Backpack Bolt Gun: Pics

    Since short-barrel AR-pistols with folding stocks that can fit comfortably in a back-pack is all the rage nowadays; it has me pining for a compact bolt-action that could fit in a largish pack. There's a thread around here with shortish-barreled guns (bunch of 16s and 18s), but has anyone gone...

    Will I make it to 1000?

    Fuck. I knew baldness was going to really bite me in the ass one day. Guess I'll never be able to hold left edge for wind.

    Will I make it to 1000?

    I'm fully in support of the man bun. But whether it was factory, or custom loaded ammo, 6.5CM is between 50% and 100% more expensive than equivalent .308. I'm just getting started again in long range shooting after a 20 year hiatus. When this .308 barrel is shot out (1 to 2 years I'm...

    Youth PRS rifle

    When my son was 11 we built his long-range/PRS gun. I bought a heavy-barrel Howa 1500 in .223 and put it in a KRG Bravo. Threw a Magpul bipod on it, Vortex rings, scope, and bubble level, and a couple of MDT .223 mags. All in we had the whole thing built for under $1500 and that included...

    Will I make it to 1000?

    Ya'll better be right. I just auctioned off a kidney and bought 400rds of it. Let's get this party started.

    Will I make it to 1000?

    I haven't been clear enough .... I am unable to reload/hand-load (half a million dollars just outside of NYC gets you a 1600 sq ft apartment with no basement and no garage). I was going to be paying someone to do it for me, but that plan fell through. So what I'm left with is factory loads...

    Will I make it to 1000?

    .308 FGMM 175 SMKs 22" Barrel. Will I make it out to a grand before it goes transonic? I was going to be working with a custom ammo company to work up a load with 185 jugs which would have easily gotten me out to a grand, but with all the component shortages, that plan fell through. I know...

    What PSI to get an AR-15 action to cycle?

    I doubt it comes close to what I've paid. $4200/year for liability only on a used 4-cyclinder when I was 18 and living one town away from Newark, NJ. Eventually moved to Brooklyn and went motorcycle-only. Full coverage was over $3K/year - on a bike!! Then got pregnant and bought a 10 year...

    What an incredible backpack gun. Stunningly good looking too. Congrats, love everything about it.

    Barrel Heat - Diminished Accuracy or....

    I can't tell if you know we're saying the same thing. Your consistency on the cheek weld means putting the eye in the exactly same position behind the scope every time to mitigate parallax issues. You can let your equipment help you with this by adjusting parallax on your scope.

    Barrel Heat - Diminished Accuracy or....

    I'm with @Elite_KG. If you are putting in a tight grouping, step away from the gun, and when you come back your shots land in another zip code, you are dealing with a parallax issue. What scope is this? Sitting behind it, looking at your 200 yrd target, if you move your head...

    Best red dot for AR platform

    Last year I purchased my first ever red dot for any weapon system. I know myself enough to know that I need to try something out first, to find out what I do and don't like, so that I can eventually buy the 'correct' one that checks all of the boxes. To that end, I bought a Holosun 510C to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Did we already do the SIG 320 vs Glock 19 Gen 5 discussion?

    I'm primarily a handgun shooter and have been for 23 years. I train regularly and shoot a lot. I'm extremely practical about everything I do. A few years back I was looking for a new carry gun and the VP9 was new and all the rage. I've always been an HK fan and although I've had a few Glocks...

    Which trigger for an Impact 737R?

    TriggerTech Diamond. One trigger pull is all you'll need. Best part is, I had doubts that it would stay that way. Figured it might get dirty and gritty over time. 1K rounds later, it didn't. Not a huge number I know, but it felt on rnd 1000 the exact same way it felt on round 1. I loved...

    What your groups say about you.

    I read my groups once. They told me that fortune cookies don't tell real fortunes, that my right testicle is slightly mushier than the left, and that I get excited by sock lint stuck to sweaty feet. I stopped reading groups after that.

    First time out with new TacOps X-Ray 51

    So, the thread title is a little misleading at this point since this post is about the third time out with the new TacOps X-Ray 51. We had some delays. First, I have a different scope I want to mount on this thing. She's running a Leupold Mark5-HD 5-25 right now with their traditional mil-dot...

    Took me 3 hours to get home dammit. I hate the L.I.E. Just finished getting all the water out of it.
