    Magpul DT-PR Stock

    I just received one last week. For my example it locks up tight on a VLTOR A5 extension for front to back play, but still has a little bit of wiggle up and down. It's about the same as the BCM stocks I have. Not bad at all and should be a non issue for the rifle it will go on. It will be...

    Dangerous Ruling On Suppressors

    In the end neither side gives a shit. They use the issues to bring in money and get reelected. I feel we will never see any positive movement on things like suppressors, national CCW, etc.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Rifle +1. Its just a regular carbon Proof. It sped up some once I got around 75-100 rounds through it. They were jumping about .030". I need to check it again soon to see if it has changed any. This lot is from early last year or late 2022. I tossed the boxes and have them in my MTM cases now...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I get 2650-2680 with my 20" Proof and the factory 108. SD has been around 13.

    Surefire ICAR

    I asked but have not received an answer yet. The rifle is not on the website yet, so I think it's still a ways out for official release. They may not have final pricing determined yet. I'm sure it will not be cheap.

    Surefire ICAR

    Proprietary bolt and extension to "solve lug breakage issues". He also said they had zero magazine related issues going to the larger and dedicated mag. I think the rifle will still have a Proof barrel for production. Some other aftermarket parts but a majority is being made in house. Magpul...

    Liberals nearly 600% more likely to have mental health issues than Conservatives.

    Seeing them throw temper tantrums like a 2 year old in public as "adults" tells you everything you need to know.

    Surefire ICAR

    I'm pretty sure its standard on the ICAR since they were using a Proof barrel on the test rifles. I'll see if I can find out. Unsure how quick I can get a response because of the show.

    The Pistols of Los Angeles' Top Cops

    My cop friends have seen multiple shitbags take a high dosage of 45 ACP and still function. Shot placement, bullet design and velocity are what matters. Most modern pistol rounds are about equal in reality. Pistol rounds are not good fight stoppers typically. Plenty of ballistic tests out there...

    Surefire ICAR

    I know FN developed that 6.5 x 43 using a similar concept for longer range and more energy. They developed new mags and such to go with it, but no idea what they did with the bolt or anything else besides an upsized receiver. I would think you need a in-between size bolt and carrier, or a...

    Surefire ICAR

    I am not sure. I assume they will. The rifle has been in the works for a while. They have some other projects in the pipeline but unsure if/when they will come out.

    Surefire ICAR

    The Surefire rifle is made in house outside of the other branded parts it has like the trigger, barrel, etc. I have friends there so I have been int he know about this for a while, same with the mags. I hinted about polymer 6 ARC mags a while back on here. I don't want to steal their thunder for...

    The Pistols of Los Angeles' Top Cops

    Springfield Long Beach Operator model pistols more than likely. My LAPD buddy has one for the unit he is in. It was the "required" pistol. They changed to Stacatto a while ago but after some issues they had, the team uses Glocks, the regular 1911 or whatever they are approved to carry.

    AK 74 mag loader?

    The Podavach works well for all AK calibers. You can do AR mags on it also, but not as easily as the AK mags. The Maglula works also, but not perfect for the 74 mags. Its better for the 7.62 mags.

    6mm ARC for 1k yards build

    I shoot my 6 ARC to 1K quite a bit. Using a 20" Proof carbon barrel. Zero issue hearing it hit steel and I have a flasher anyways. A hair under 10 mils of drop with the Hornady 108 ELD factory load for my AO. I think it shoots very well at distance. For a light rifle that is semi auto, it does...

    Turbocharged Gasoline Engines

    Modern turbos are better than the old ones with the bearings used and better cooling to them. That was the issue with the older stuff. And yes running a turbo timer or letting them idle for a while after driving them hard helps reduce issues with longevity. When I was a Toyota tech I can count...

    Trijicon SRO issue

    The first one I received did not work out of the case. I had to return it and got this one as a replacement. My first SRO is about 3 years older and zero issues with thousands of rounds.

    Trijicon SRO issue

    That was the first thing I checked. I forgot to mention that in my first post.
