Suppressors Thunder Beast tests some larger OD 30 cal cans

I've been wanting to shoot this video for a while now. Here you go!
23" bolt gun with LR118. I threw in the numbers for our Gen 2 Ultra 9 also since it's the largest 30 cal can we make ( it does meter very well for the size)
Thanks to Otter Creek Labs and FMP for sending cans.

Reloading Equipment 7.62 LR primers at brownells

Market for Iron Sights

Hi All,
I'm just wondering if people still use iron sights much anymore on centrefire rifles which do not come standard with iron sights (I.e. most bolt action rifles)?

I have had a bit of a look to see what's out there and find that most of the stuff is very expensive with regard to what is involved in manufacturing the product on a mass scale (albeit, if this were only small scale production then the prices make sense).

This got me wondering if the market is big enough to bother trying to design and produce a run of sights that could be fit to any rifle using a picatinny/weaver rail.

There are 2 types I was thinking of:
Sight 1) A universal tangent sight (such as on The Kar98, Ak47, SKS)

Sight 2) A target peep/aperture (sight such as the old Redfields and Parker Hales and the newer RPA sights)
1)
1633490911286.png
2)
1633490859097.png


The main reason for me considering this is because I was not happy with the cost of purchasing a set of decent sights and found there was little available to suit my requirements.

A big problem with the idea is that it would require the buyer to fit the front sight which would require a medium level of skill. It would also require them to know their barrel outside diameter and to work out their bore axis to rail height (as well as their sight radius for the target sights).

I feel like the Sight 1 option would be far more feasible due to lower manufacturing costs, a bigger market (at a guess) and the fact that it would be more universally adaptable. At an estimate, Sight 1 would cost $110 to $175US for both front and rear sights.

Anyway, I would love to hear some people's thoughts and opinions on this. It might sound like a crazy idea but I feel like many of the current options are very expensive for their simplicity and lack of functionality.

Cheers.

Suppressors Abel Company - new offerings - Suppressors!

Hey Everyone,

We'd like to formally announce a new offering from Abel Co to the members of SnipersHide! The Biscuit and Biscuit-S suppressors - our first 2 models (with plenty more to come down the line). For those that don’t know us, we designed and manufacture the Abel Table, a modular tac table that can be used for a multitude of different tasks.


Abel Company was created to provide quality products and resources that support American citizens, our military and our law enforcement. The owners of Abel Co. come from a long background of Aerospace & Defense manufacturing and fabrication - experience and knowledge that we take into Abel Company. Our goal is to grow Abel into a defense solutions company that provides goods and knowledge to our customers.


Our Suppressor - The Biscuit/Biscuit-S

Our concept, that we took to development, is to make a suppressor that functions well on every platform and mostly caters to individuals who want one suppressor for ALL of their firearms We have done extensive testing on our end to hit several key criteria prior to approving release to market.


The key criteria we achieved is as follows:
1. Suppress sound (obviously) to levels under/near 140 Db at the shooter's ear per MIL-STD-1474. This criteria was achieved; different platforms yield different results, but overall this was achieved. We use the B&K Impulse Noise Evaluation System (PULSE) for all in-house testing and we partnered with PewScience to provide 3rd party testing.
2. Create a suppressor that does not add significant length or weight to the firearm. This was a mandatory design characteristic for us as a result of meeting with active LE/MIL personnel that made their concerns known. This suppressor must be at home on a precision bolt gun and in a CQC environment.
3. Minimize the back pressure felt/experienced by the shooter and the host weapon system. This is especially important as we are marketing this suppressor as a do-all suppressor and it musty perform reliably on gas-sensitive systems.
4. Minimal to non-existent POI shift and predictable repeatability.
5. Affordability. It is important to us that we manufacture and sell suppressors that are affordable to the consumer.

The Biscuit was designed as a "Jack of all trades” suppressor. It is 1.80”-1.85” in diameter, fully-welded 17-4 stainless (heat-treated to the H900 condition) and features an industry standard 1.375x24 threaded mounting end. The Biscuit weighs in at 15.9 ozs, is 5.5” long and is rated as a hard use suppressor. The end cap is welded but can be ordered in .223 or .30 exit diameters. It can be used on anything from SBRs to magnum bolt guns. We have tested and rated it up to 300PRC.

While this was not designed to be a specific bolt gun only can, it has proven to be excel when testing POA/POI shifts (I personally shot a 10 shot group where every other round was attached vs off and it was under 1 inch).

The MSRP for the biscuit is $790 and the S is $700. We will be offering an introductory discount for Hide members so please PM me for the code. Please ask us any questions you have in this thread and we will be happy to answer them.

Navy Question

I'm currently writing my father's obituary and I'm trying to make sure I get his service accurately notated.

His pay rate was E-4 but his grade was FTC 3. E-4 = petty officer third class but FTC 3 = Chief Petty Officer. When describing it in a sentence do I use chief petty officer or petty officer third class?

I guess I'm asking what is the correct way to word it so it is accurate? He worked on the phalanx system FYI.

Nuke some fleas

Y’all got any advice on handling fleas in and around a dog pen? My poor dogs are fucked. I’ve tried flea baths, permethrin dips, sevin dust, frontline, advantix, I’ve sprayed the whole yard 3 or 4 times with permethrin and once with something else. Centrix or something like that. Short of burning the whole things down, anybody got any magic pill?

the internet is no help. It wants me to go all natural and put the fleas in timeout.

Feedback Scammed Alert

Well, I guess it was bound to happen at some point. I started a thread on here in search of a Manners EH1 stock and received a message from someone who's name I can't recall other than "sam" and then there were several numbers behind the name. Funny thing is now that user is gone and my messages to him are gone along with him. Long story short the guy he put me in contact with sends pics of the stock and has yet to ship the so called stock that he has. After having enough of the excuses I asked to have him refund the money I had sent him and I'm being Ghosted. Anyways, I made some rookie mistakes that will never be made again. Keep your transactions on any online platform tight to the vest guys because the world we are living in is full of crooks.

The new Shipping Wars??

Just a few things I've been hearing about recently with regards to shipping thru USA ports.
> Container ships are loaded up ready to offload. Just can't get to the dock.
> Dock workers are considering a strike ....well cause why let a good crisis go to waste?
> Hiring gap to fill CDL drivers has been growing wider/at it's widest point to date (has been wider longer) since June 2020
> Coca-Cola seems to now be pushing it to the next level. They are moving away from buying container space to buying ship space. I.E Bulk loading their products into holds. Not loading their bottled products into containers.


Maybe it's time.....

Need help sizing DC motor for mover

I am NOT an electrical engineer. And I'm good with that. However, I need advice from one.

I have everything installed, except the electronics, for the mover at my range. Now I need to figure out what size motor.

If any of you really smart people would like to help a fella out, I would be greatly appreciated. Hell, I'll even hire you to tell me what to get.

Let me know what figures you need and I'll get them.

We can talk here, in PM, text or on the phone. I don't care. I just need to get this thing up and running before my next match, which is coming up in about 1 1/2 weeks.
