    LRI

    If that's how you define "pot shots" then you're way too sensitive. Questioning why I wasn't seeing the service crowed about by many on this board is legitimate. If not constantly calling and bugging the man like a spoiled child makes me an asshole then so be it. If asking a simple question...

    LRI

    Oh fuck off! Chad certainly doesn't need you to defend him but here you are trying to be the hero. If asking if anyone knows what is going on at LRI is "starting shit" then you need to get on some meds. I figured the question might get some panties in a wad but this takes the cake. I've...

    LRI

    Not trying to stir shit at all; just wondering what's going on. I figured at least one would jump in to defend them but didn't figure it'd be right out of the gate . . . and with gusto too. Well done! I have a lot of respect for LRI but also call things as I see em. I also don't constantly...

    LRI

    Anyone know what's going on with LRI? I sent a Remy action in for a time and TIG over a month ago and haven't heard a thing. Called them a couple of weeks ago to confirm that it was there and was told that Chad screwed up his back but should be back soon. Been crickets since. WTF? This is...

    R700 Bolt Catch Assembly

    So you just need the factory stamped plate and spring? If so I have a bunch of those. The plates are stainless but that shouldn't matter.

    Gunsmithing Should I free float my rem 700 ADL varmint? Worth it?

    I have a takeoff 700ADL synthetic camo that came off of a 26" varmint. I have no plans to use it so if you're interested I can send pics.

    Barrel Burn Out issues

    As I am sure you are aware, there are different grades of stainless; some more susceptible to corrosion than others. Remington's stainless rusts terribly whereas one from a high-end manufacturer won't. Saying that all stainless will deteriorate is fake news. Not sure what point you're trying...

    Barrel Burn Out issues

    Barrel wear is still a thing but not as big of a thing as it was back then. Advances in metallurgy and propellants have come a long way contributing to longer-lasting barrels. It also was a bigger deal to re-barrel a rifle than it is today. Hardly anyone spun on their own barrels back then...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote paint strainer

    I do clean with acetone after use. However, over many uses the mesh gets a bit of buildup of material anyway. Soaking in brake cleaner takes care of this problem. I suppose one could spray the strainers with brake cleaner immediately after use (thereby avoiding the soaking later) but I would...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote paint strainer

    It's worth the trouble to run Cerakote through a strainer to avoid fighting problems in the gun. Cerakote has recommendations on what mesh should be used. Mesh size does differ across their products. I've been shooting this stuff for quite a few years now and have always used the strainers...

    Night Vision Tired of trapping

    You're not giving up a lot with the Trail as compared to the Thermion. I like how the Thermion mounts and like the controls better but battery life is a big downside. You'll get much more run time afield with the Trail. The only zero shift that I've seen in the Trail is related to updates...

    Night Vision PVS14 and breach

    Those results surprise me and I wonder if you have a unit that is faulty? Detecting deer at 500 in the open isn't a problem with mine. Raccoons at 250 are do-able too. Granted, those are during pristine thermal conditions and behavior is needed to zero in on ID but mine seems to do okay. I'm...

    Night Vision PVS14 and breach

    I run a Breach on a RQE with NV and find it very useful. I use it for detection and ID with the XP38 when needed. It's small and light which allows me to wear a helmet for hours without fatigue. Fairly cheap too. Are there better units out there? Absolutely but how much do you want to...

    Night Vision Tired of trapping

    Don't get paralyzed by the details. At some point you'll need to make a decision and stick with it or forget the whole idea together. Trying to make the perfect choice is gonna drive you nuts. I believe Pulsar is dropping the Trail line in favor of the Thermions but you still may be able to...

    Night Vision Leupold LTO Feedback

    I had one for a while but ended up giving it to my son. It'll pick up deer at 200 but they look like a blob of heat. I went to a helmet mounted Breach and am happy with it. I'm using it for detection only; ID is verified using an XP38 Thermion. I would not buy another LTO.

    Night Vision TNVC Customer Service!!!

    Those bastards lie constantly. I've ordered several things from them that were supposed to be weeks from delivery only to have them show up a LOT sooner. Obviously the above is sarcasm. Great company to do business with for sure!

    Night Vision Bought a Pulsar Thermion XP38 Turns Itself ON ??

    I got mine in February and haven't had this problem. I wonder if you're holding the button too long? (just a WAG) I typically release as soon as it hits zero.

    Gunsmithing Grease from action while cerakoting

    I've done quite a few of these and, yes, they can be frustrating. Coating the parts unassembled is the easiest way to avoid this but sometimes one wants to avoid all of the masking and worry about potentially marking the parts during reassembly. Soaking and heating is the only way to get...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 won’t extract

    That's fair but all springs have their limit. Stress them beyond that limit and the material yields. Removing a Remington extractor without damage is certainly possible. I've done it myself. When doing so, however, the material is close to its elastic limit so one needs to be careful with...

    Night Vision First Hunting Thermal

    Thermal can be used during daylight hours too. Really no need to switch scopes unless you want the dayscope view.
