    Best home defense is no suppressor? / zero distance

    Other notes: CQB is a team event, thus it requires an actual team. Don’t be daft, singleton CQB even in your own house is a big risk. While knowing the layout is an advantage, this is a game of angles. That said there are event that can elevate that course of action in spite of the risk, such...

    Best home defense is no suppressor? / zero distance

    Well in classic fashion we’ve descended into the realm of the less than qualified opinions 😅 look is a free country, do whatever you want but I’d urge us all to consider the aspects of the ego at play here. Each fight that occurs is unique. No two gunfights are ever the same…BUT you will over...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Rmr pistol zero ? 10 yard trajectory ?

    I mean 25 is going to give you a much better zero practically. Seen a lot of folks come to class with a solid belief that their 15, 10 or even 7y zeros 🙄 were GTG. In theory it sounds good but every time we walk the fellows back the B8s don’t lie.

    Need help identifying this cartridge and bullet

    I am thinking these are more similar to the SRTA rounds (M862) rather than CCMCK/UTM rounds. While plastic, M862 certainly has the capability of being lethal at close ranges. Edit: judging from the projectile shape, it kinda reminds me of high-drag cannon projectiles I’ve seen. Basically...

    Zeroing 375CT

    Yeah zero at 100y/m, your projectiles are going to be stable so don’t sweat trying to do a 500, too many variables that can sneak in. If you need more elevation, then get a prism.

    So, my smith lost my bolt in my lefty ar piston set up. Can i just flip a reg bolt over and use that?

    ^This. The issue is your “smiths” (sounds like we’re using that term pretty losely) not yours.

    Stomped by wind

    I can’t say I’ve ever really seen a book that lays it all out in terms of process especially cross compartment wind. 🤔

    Gunsmithing Legal question about pin & weld

    This is why the whole thing is dumb and completely retarded. We have several KAC SBRs at work (12.5” obviously not pinned). Had another upper 14.5 come in a while later, boss asked me to switch out the FH on the rifle (in my defense the 14.5 upper was on an SBR lower) I didn’t get around to...

    Stomped by wind

    So what you’re experiencing is cross compartment wind (aslrookie’s situation has similarities). The approach to cross compartment wind management follows the same basic tenants but with the addition necessities of going much deeper. 1. Establish Wind indication points. The simple 1/3 -2/3 rule...

    Stomped by wind

    Well way to make this awkward, I used my real name here in an effort to alleviate a situation like this. While I have a healthy sense of accomplishment, I am not terribly interested in have to continually cite them but since you asked. Long range shoot has been the core of my professional...

    Stomped by wind

    This is exactly my point. You clearly don’t have an clear understand or an effective process. You, much like the rest of the masses think “if I just buy this…” or you hear some snippets on a podcast/YouTube video and think this little trick here with solve my problems. But the reality is...

    Stomped by wind

    Biggest thing I am seeing here is you don’t seem to have a process. You’re all over the place in describing your observations. I’d highly recommend taking a class, getting some coaching, develop your process for solving wind. You need to know where to read the wind, how to read wind and hue to...

    Guinness world record for open sight long-distance shooting.

    Yes but probably not directly. Companies certainly see the feature of drones in combat and thus are attempting to exploit it just like everyone else. Back to the top, long range rifle/small arms fire is an effective element of combat both historical and current. Technological progression is...

    Best ELR cartridge for an AR10 build

    A 1-1.5 MOA semi-auto isn’t really “awful” especially considering the doctrinal intent. I’d wager that the vast majority of opinion on Dragunovs come from folks shooting beat to shit guns obtained through BFR, while being fed some shit ball ammo. But that’s neither here nor there, so to the...

    Anything better for me than a 6.5 Grendel in the AR-15 platform?

    Honestly save yourself the trouble, a good match 16-18” 5.56 with a solid rail, good trigger and a nice piece of glass will fill the gap with the 6.5 cm so long as you feed it good quality ammo. I see probably several hundred students a year for precision rifle and SPR stuff. The guys running...

    Built in MOA in Action Different than in Forend - PVS30 Mounting Question

    Never had an issue with 20 MOA, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

    KRG Bravo CTR Mags or AICS?

    Goddamn! How does this shit get resurrected? 😑

    KRG Bravo CTR Mags or AICS?

    AICS mags all the way. I’ve seen way to many issues with the CTR mags not feeding especially when they get dirty.

    A tale of two Bartlein barrels - Cryo treatment?

    There is a reason sniper system tend to run heavy barrels, light weight barrels can be accurate BUT the chances of you having POI shifts as it heats is high. Honestly a 1/2lbs difference is an easy choice given the confidence of performance.
