    New born FN Ballista

    You can actually remove the Ballista grip safety, and the grip itself attaches the same as a standard AR grip, So if you prefer a different grip, you can switch to that if you want. Remove the rear stock (including the grip) from the rest of the rifle. Take the grip off like you would an AR...

    Nucleus bump on close (renamed again)

    Sweet, thank you. That's all I needed to know. I don't care about it as far as aesthetics go because it's unlikely anyone else will ever handle it enough to notice it, but I figured it was acting as a corrosion barrier and was concerned about that. I'll just leave it the way it is then. I...

    Nucleus bump on close (renamed again)

    Man, everyone in this thread seems to have way bigger problems than I do. Of course, I am still waiting (California) to pick up my Nucleus from the FFL, so there's that. I saw my Nucleus in person a few days ago, and there's something that's been bothering me since then. There was a spot, a...

    Nucleus Orders

    Got invoiced on Friday for Order #301X! Of course it showed up when I finally stopped obsessively checking the email a few times a day. RH SA for 308 & 224, plus Barloc. Edit: And delayed...my card won't process for some reason. Address mismatch? Bank doesn't know why either. I feel like...

    Gunsmithing Best way to beef up/ add weight to rifle

    Sounds like it should work well. Let us know how it goes!

    Nucleus Orders

    Couldn't have said it better myself. On the bolt release, I think it will only turn once you've retracted the bolt to the rear. I think you have to do that first to get the relief in the bolt assembly lined up with the bolt release. Otherwise the bolt release has nowhere to go. I don't have...

    Gunsmithing Best way to beef up/ add weight to rifle

    Depending on the thickness of the suspending material and just how much extra weight is being used, I think you could definitely see a difference in the recoil impulse. As for harmonics, I think it could be an interesting experiment to see what effect different density filler materials would...

    Gunsmithing Best way to beef up/ add weight to rifle

    The crimp kind don't use the adhesive, and they usually attach by crimping on to the outer lip of the rim. The adhesive kind usually attach closer to the centerline of a rim. You can get them off with a bit of effort. Cleaning off the residue from the tape is another story. At least, that's...

    Nucleus Orders

    Sounds like I'm the last one to get in under the wire. I am #3011. Ordered a Nucleus, extra bolt head, and Barloc. At least everyone else can test it out for me and tell me what I need to be aware of!

    Rifle Scopes Zero Compromise Optic update

    I've only preordered anything three times in my life. Once was the Samsung Galaxy S3, the second was the Librem 5 phone, and the third time was the ARC Nucleus. Each time I knew I was putting money down for something that wasn't actually available yet. I was also painfully aware that I could...

    Nucleus Orders

    Man, I have no clue now when I'm going to get mine. I ordered very late, and I ordered multiple bolt heads. And a Barloc. Sounds like I have something to look forward to in 2019...

    Nice find. I learned something new today.

    Gunsmithing Best way to beef up/ add weight to rifle

    For the guys chiming in talking about using lead, another option would be lead wheel weights that are used for balancing tires & wheels. You can get the stick-on kind that use an adhesive tape (more common on motorcycles than cars). They usually come in segmented strips where each segment is a...

    Nucleus Orders

    Oh sweet! I ordered SA for 308 and 224. I figured it would be delayed because multiple bolts but was starting to get worried... Guess I better start ordering the rest of the build soon.

    Rifle Scopes Another Vortex down

    I've never had a decent scope fail on me, unless you count cheap NcStar airsoft-level knock-off crap. This thread makes me want to buy a Razor Gen 2 just so I can use it hard and see how much it can take before it fails.

    Rifle Scopes Sig sauer tango 4 good budget glass?

    I don't think the look of their website is horrible, but it's absolute trash for when you're trying to figure stuff out about a scope. Sig changes the part number every time they create a new version, but when they get rid of an old version, good luck finding any info at all about it. I've got...

    Rifle Scopes Sig sauer tango 4 good budget glass?

    Definitely agree on this part. The zoom ring on mine takes quite a bit of effort to move, but it doesn't feel rough. Just like a constant level of resistance. Turrets are kind of the same way too.

    Rifle Scopes Sig sauer tango 4 good budget glass?

    I have a 1st-gen Tango 6 3-18x44. It's hard to tell how the glass compares to a Tango 4 because they don't have info listed on the website for a 1st-gen Tango 6 anymore and the paperwork in the box is pretty lackluster, but the current gen Tango 6 has apparently better turrets and glass than...

    Can someone please fix this website!

    Wanting to know about this too. I lurk browse SH normally in between work-stuff from my phone. Would love to have Tapatalk working again. If not possible for technical reasons, that's understandable. I'd just like to know.

    Do you understand Bitcoin? If yes, I have a question

    First rule of Cryptocurrencies: NEVER EVER GIVE YOUR PRIVATE KEY TO ANYONE ELSE. There are a couple of different methods of cashing out. A) You could use a reputable, US-based exchange to slowly sell off your crypto. For example, you could set up an account with Coinbase, go through all...
