    Swiss ZK31 Israeli sniper rifle.

    Sometimes the hype campaign and/or "fuck you" money works. I remember watching a very nice ZFK55 go for north of $8,000 a couple years back. It was a very clean example but the price was entirely unjustifiable as far as I am aware. Serial number was run of the mill, just an excellent...

    M1917 vs M1903

    The stock and butt of the M1917 punishes me a lot less than the M1903, especially prone. I don't know what it is about the m1903 but it's brutal. Mausers, K31's, M1917's, M1's, etc.. all are fine, if not pleasurable to shoot, but the M1903 is just a bastard to my shoulder. I really like the...

    Plane crash At Reagan National

    Understand that I'm speaking from a position of a flight-sim nerd, not an actual pilot and I'm not familiar with exactly what was in the Blackhawk in quesiton... BUT, flying something like an OH-58 in DCS using the MMS FLIR on the MFD's on the dash at night without NVG's is disorienting as...

    Hornady Lot to lot. 200fps difference?

    No, GAP doesn't load them. We loaded it with the GAP headstamp and sold it to GAP as the sole source for distribution. I believe that changed this year or last year and now it's a standard Hornady SKU that's available through all of our distributors. If you have concerns with that particular...

    Hornady Lot to lot. 200fps difference?

    That's the item/SKU number. The GA suffix is for GA Precision when it was an exclusive deal through them. Lot number will be around the corner on the other side of the box.

    You have zero points potential on targets you never see.

    Thread existing barrel or buy new

    You still have 2000+ rounds of barrel life in that barrel. Does it shoot well enough to keep you happy for 2000+ more rounds is the real question. If yes, then thread away, if no, save up and put a top tier pipe on the rifle.

    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    Yessir, that's a 16" 6 ARC (Midlength I think) with a Gen1 Ultra 5. We've got a couple cameras, that color one in that video above (also see all our new product videos that have gel getting blasted)and a b&w only one that's a few hundred thousand fps capable with reasonable resolution.

    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    Generally speaking, the ejection angle is the what you get when you add the ejection vector to the bolt rearward velocity vector. If your ejection vector is assumed to be pretty fixed/standard, then the variable is the rearward bolt velocity vector, and operating gas pressure is one of the main...

    Gunsmithing Bullet tumbling

    What does the back end look like? Only thing I can think of is excessive oil trapped in the bullet causing the jacket to pop (maybe? You'd probably see lead spirals out of them at close range on paper), or an insufficient core seat operation so the cores are loosey goosey. That's pretty wild...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I'm a fan. I think Mack Bros do good work, especially for the price. It runs very slick and the weight is true to advertisement. Lighter than other Ti actions I've owned before. The only gripe I have is that it's set up for BDL box and 2.850" COAL so non-binder plate magazines with standard...

    Apparent over pressure from mild load

    Ever cleaned carbon fouling out? If you have more than 75-100 rounds since the last carbon cleaning I'd start there.

    BC Correction

    My approach to this, regardless of the software (4DoF is ideal, and I don't just say that because I work at Hornady-- how it works is fundamentally different and better than BC based solvers) is centered around data collection. First and foremost, you must be absolutely positive that your optic...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Anything over about 7" is kosher for subs. I think we see like 20-40fps MV gain/loss between 7" and 16" usually. Supersonic might be affected more than that.

    8.5" .338 ARC with permattach TBAC Magnus. Mack Bros Element and XLR Atom

    Real gunsmiths chime in.

    The patch on the reamer will clean up the chatter.

    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    Didn't read the thread but will throw out my experience. First off, I will concede that under-gassing or over-springing or over-weighting the buffer will cause more feed problems than over-gassing. You see this a lot in 3-gun and other comps where guys are trying to run the ragged edge and...

    School me on the Samson/review.

    The Samson with all the brass is 11.8lb by itself. Most of the time it's a 23-27 lb complete rifle (barrel length and contour makes up most of the range there). As far as fit and comfort, I love it. Similar to a Manners in that regard. I swapped the brass ARCA rail for aluminum and that...
