    Fast Twist- where are we?

    It looks like we haven’t had a discussion on barrel twist lately? I’d figure that more than a few fast 1x9 barreled guns are out there and there has been enough time for a few long range matches so far this year. What are people seeing? due to a lot of things I haven’t been able to get out to...

    AR Bolt Carrier Group... Pen

    My cousin's kid who just graduated ROTC really enjoyed the Penn State 'Tank' Pen kit I gave her over Thanksgiving. Instead of using a lathe, I use a 3d Printer to print the pen barrels, with names or features. He brother who is in ROTC now said something about having issues with his assembling...

    MDT folding stock adaptor LOP effect?

    I picked up a LSS-RF and a LSS-XL G2 on their sale. I was looking at stock options that would allow a folder. The Carbine-Carbine type adds 1.75inches. I seem to remember seeing that for their stocks built on carbine buffer tubes, that there were different lengths, but I don’t see that...

    Dirty Barrel with a few 22lr rounds and Accuracy

    I guess I have never done it before, but I pulled the bolt on two different guns that two different kinds of sub ammo shot through them - and even thought one had less than 20 rounds through the gun (CX) the bore looked like an obstacle course. A couple of patches with Slip cleaner, looks clean...

    ELR Scope, rail, mount specification calculation

    So I pulled a table for 22 out to 100 yards. Realistically, and it sounds insane, I'd want a set up that would handle 550-600 yards max. How do you calculate what mix of rails, mounts and scope adjustment needed for subsonic? I run MIL/MIL scopes. So for 500-600yards, you'd need...

    BigJimFish V22 Review and back to barrel twist

    We had a thread about barrel twist and Mike/RAVAGE88 hasn't posted for awhile in that thread after talking about some of his experiments with barrel twist. BigJimFIsh's review talks about barrel selection and mentions that a 1:9 twist from Voodoo is available. -Does this mean that that...

    Tuning 40x extractors

    When I got my conversion I had it set up for a bias towards extraction. I get about 1 in 10 rounds that doesn’t want to feed right. How do you ‘tune’ the extractors b the rim and feed smoothly? I understand that it might reduce extraction strength- making extraction with a dirty chamber or an...

    Red Dot Off-hand Wobble

    I'm trying to figure out the best way to set up a red dot. What would be the aiming woble for most people shooting offhand and shooting aimed, but rapid fire? 3-5MOA? Maybe more? I'm looking at carbine set-ups. You have the inherent accuracy of the gun-ammo combo. A M193/16inch CL Barrel...

    Building a custom gun

    What is your preferred procedure for building custom guns, which I assume you guys do? I got a deal on an ACC chassis and was going to build up a gun, but before I start down that path I wanted to know how it might work. You guys have the parts or at least the companies I'm most interested in...

    Winchester 45gr Subsonic 22lr

    I was at Bass Pros getting some 22lr to blast through my 15-22s and I saw this Winchester 45 gr subsonic and target ammo. Anyone try it yet. Bought a box of it to try out an chrono. Heavier's better, right ;) Not the M-22 bulk pack stuff. This is 100 rounds in an 'egg crate' and is "Super...

    Movie Theater Jack Ryan on Prime

    Like Krasinski in 13 Hours and he is man enough to bone the chick from Sicario. Looks like it will be interesting. Really like the trailer, so that has lead to irrational expectations. Kind of like how the Punisher trailer on Netflix was AWESOME and the series was a let down at just really...

    22LR recoil enhancer

    I was looking to increase the felt recoil from my 15-22 for better practice on 3-gun type shooting. My searches are coming up with mentions of devices, but not anything current. Is it as simple as a reverse design from standard brakes? Port it mostly down and forward?

    Slow first shots with Center-X?

    It was 65 out and cloudy yesterday and we were under cover. Got some pretty good data out of my Labradar shooting my 40X that was re-barreled with a Douglas 24 inch. Got data for 40 shots after I had re-zeroed and got some dope, so it wasn't like it was I've always seemed to notice that the...

    Movie Theater Westworld Season2

    What the heck happened to this show? My wife is out. She stuck around for 3 episodes of S2 and then stopped watching. The story line seems even more adrift than last season. The timeline thing is getting annoying. Lack of boobies. I keep on watching it out of habit, but at this rate I'll...

    Rifle Scopes Premier 3-15 Zeroing Issue

    At the range to switch scope to a new rifle, kill some dirt clods on the 200 yard berm to get my Premier 3-15 on an LMTMWS close to zero and then polish it on paper at 100. Flip the locks on the windage and elevation dial them to zero, flip them back. Verify zero. Windage correct, 6mils off...

    Kestrel and Bushnell CONX connection issue?

    I was playing with my new Bushnell CONX rangefinder and Kestrel from the kit. I can get them to connect to each other, but it seems like I have to have the rangefinder and the Kestrel right next to each other for them to connect? Really a cool feature, but not so much if you have to literally...

    Kestrel/CONX Combo Upgrade only with cable or dongle?

    I was looking at how to upgrade the Kestrel that comes with the Bushnell Combo kit to the Elite version. Is it right that you have to have the iDongle or the cable to upgrade it, even since it is a Bluetooth capable kestrel? I found a pdf online that said you need the other gear, but later it...

    Can steel targets be too thick/heavy?

    I have some steel targets for centerfire that I also shoot for 22lr. They are thicker, like 1/2 inch +. I have them hanging with a downward face angle to keep the spall going down. For safety, can steel targets be too thick (really heavy I guess) so that the target doesn't move? Is there a...

    "Somebody likes you"

    When did The Hide become Tinder, or lets be perfectly frank, Grinder? That has to be one of the most alarming Alerts I've ever gotten. I'm not saying that I'm not flattered; it makes me feel pretty. That and why do I have only 2 likes? What am I, not good enough? Isn't it really that...
