    Oh look. Government left me cute little note on my door.

    Mine went up this year as well. There's a guest cabin on the farm, and it was assessed commercial. I spent a lot of time on the phone speaking with different folks learning about the appeals process and how "they" assess property. At the end I concluded that "they" were compliant with...

    Suddenly the no-crotch-shots rule in the Bear Pit doesn't seem so heavy handed.

    Do I need to Trim all brass to 2.000" so all are the same length?

    In load development I try to eliminate as many unknowns as I possibly can. That way I'm as confident in the results as I possibly can be. If I were in your shoes I'd try to just use the 40 once-fired brass that's closer to the same length for the ladder test. Then they'll be 2* fired and you...

    Open Carry

    The "gun guy" who hosts the video pointed out that the police officers' lack of knowledge of NFA law was a problem. I would counter that the complexity of the legal system that LE are supposed to enforce is a bigger problem. I would imagine it's impossible to be a "perfect" LEO until the legal...

    Suppressors Getting second suppressor, which one?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but the Surge is a bit heavy for my purposes. I'll be sure to hit the gym. Since you have one, I'd like to ask a question. When you change it from 7.5" to 9" or change the plates is the poi the same?

    Suppressors Getting second suppressor, which one?

    Well, reasoning's a funny thing. I don't think the 5" can would provide enough suppression from what I've read. Given the weight of the 6" can from SAS that puts me to a 7" can. Going for a 7" can doesn't really seem like it's worth a grand to save 2" over the can that I already have, so I...

    Suppressors Getting second suppressor, which one?

    I'd like to pick up a second suppressor to go with the 9" SAS Arbiter that I already own. The Arbiter spends most of its time traveling between a precision rifle and a 8" 300Blk on an AR platform, with a rare visit to a couple other rifles. I'd like to leave the SAS on the precision rifle and...

    Rifle Scopes Using a .223 BDC reticle on a .308?

    Sounds like you're on the right track. Here's what I'd do: 1. Find the schematics for your reticle. In particular you want to know the "distance" between the dots in either mils or moa. 2. Use a ballistic calculator with your 308 data to get the dope in terms of mils or moa (whichever your...

    Suppressors Area 419 TBAC adapter POI shift

    Zak, could you expand on the effects of barrel shoulder alignment on poi shift? It's not clear to me how that works, but I know you've put way more thought into this than I have. I ask because I have a Savage (don't judge, it's a chick magnet) with a poi that's about ~7 mil off of the scope's...

    Thinking I need a Battle Belt

    I switched to the optimal drop when I started using the G17L for competition. It was just silly to draw a G17L with a belt-height holster. My hand was up in the armpit. I'll keep using it even if I switch back to the G19. For me it's the perfect balance, and it doesn't flop around when...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Drop in replacement 1911 barrels?

    Sam, your process a few links up on barrel fitting belongs in the motivational thread! I wish I could see the whole process since I don't know enough about tinkering with 1911s to totally get it. With that said, it sounds like art.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Slide Bite - How to fix? Grip ? Gear ?

    dvdt, I strongly suspect (from your pics) that since you're wrapping your strong hand around your weak hand, the strong hand is higher than it should be. This would be the cause of your bite! Sam's video of Bob Vogel a few posts up shows a very different grip. His strong hand thumb is on the...
