    Hello all. I wanted to post on hangfires (failure to fire or delay in round going off) I saw 2 of these on a 50 caliber rifle last weekend at the shoot I was at. The first was a delay that lasted long enough for the shooter to get up off the gun but...

    Suppressors ? About threading a barrel.

    Only issue is if there will be enough shoulder left on the barrel if using the larger thread pattern. Look up the thread specs on thunderbeast website and measure the od of your barrel.

    9 year old girl unintentional shoots and kills instructor with machinegun in Arizona

    Sad for all involved. I have had kids as young as 7 shoot a mac10 and m4 at the Rmfcsa machinegun shoots. I never let go of the gun. You have to maintain Control at all times. Even with older people you have to stand close ready to grab the gun as nearly everyone wants to turn around to smile at...

    Need some help with my new cannon

    When I got my cannon I was told the way to get the powder charge was to pour powder over the projectile untill the powder covers it like a little pyramid. Measure it and create a charge measuring cup. My 1in cannon uses a fired 2.75 12 gauge shell of 4f powder to shoot a lead ball.

    Range Report help with 22ballistics

    I am entering something wrong in jbm. It gives me data more like your trajectory for the Norma ammo. It has always worked well for my 260, 308, 338. I am not sure why I am so far off for the 22

    I got out and did some testing with my rem 40x this weekend. I tried out the norma tac22 ammo. It shoots really well in this rifle. I zeroed at 50 yds. shot at 100 and 200. I ran the scope up and down several times to test tracking while doing this to verify return to zero and return to same...

    Holy cow I did not think it would be that much for tooling. I will see what it looks like tonight. Looks like EDM would be the way to go for a one off either way.
