I have been wanting to try this for 3 years. I couldn't in new orleans because I lived in an apartment. Broke out the smoker this morning and created this beauty. I think its going to be my new years tradition.

I formed one and was approved a suppressor years ago using DM components, so I’m thinking that I’m good to go.

So I use a Gerardi power Trimmer to chamfer and deburr , I also have a Lyman case prep station where I also put a little more of a chamfer and deburr on some of my cases , I noticed when I’m puttting my bullets into my cases that the ones I’ll do the extra chamfer and deburr , there’s not as much neck tension, so what I did is re-anneal those cases and the neck tension was back to normal so is it a bad thing to anneal twice when reloading and I think I’m just gonna stop the second chamfer and deburr because I think it’s not needed obviously, The reason I did the second chamfer and deburr was one of my calibers on my Girard power trimmer was not set up correctly.

Thanks guys and Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year Sniper's Hiders ...

Here is hoping for a better 2022, as if these last few weren't bad enough we had to go and lose Betty White today to cap off a shitty time on old Planet Earth

So do your part to be Happy, Healthy, and in a better place than yesterday ...

Remember, if you drive don't drink, and if you drink, don't drive!

Peace

Son just came out and told me Betty White has checked out. Sad to hear that. There were so many good meme’s about her and her age.
RIP Betty

Anything interesting

Hey boys,

I’m getting back into PRS and F-Class shooting after taking about a ten year break in any competition.
My three rifles I use for distance have Mil/Mil Schmidt Bender 5-25X56 optics; albeit with P4F reticles.

I’ve been told multiple times by shooters using Burris, Vortex, and Bushnell optics that S&B are outdated.

How can this be? Are there shooters now who really believe Asian market made optics are superior, or have I just been conversing with the “jUsT aS gOoDs?”

Thanks guys, and Happy New Year!

I just purchased this at an auction for a whopping $40 and it's by far the strangest M40 stock I've ever seen! It's a real M40 stock and has all the correct characteristics, but I have no idea who did the modifications. It's actually pretty stable holding it while standing, but the vertical foregrip is too far forward and would have better ergonomics if it were moved back an inch or two.

I opened up the recoil lug inlet bedding just enough to drop in Culver's M40 barreled action:




Here's a closeup of the vertical foregrip:




Closeup of the butt modification:




The butt now has a Pachmayr White Line recoil pad, instead of an aluminum 40x buttplate. The and of the stock was sanded and reshaped, so the original stamps underneath the 40x buttplate are gone:




The holes on the left side of the foregrip and buttstock are sling swivel screw holes. Here's a rear sling swivel off an M40 stock in each of these holes:




There's also something written on the left side of the stock, it says "Mortuus Via Longus." I assume it's in Latin and means something like "death by long [distance]." I guess it's a fitting statement for a sniper rifle:



I have a bunch of original M40 stocks to compare this weird stock to, but only one of them has this same gray bedding. Remington didn't use any bedding material when they built the M40's (their "hand bedding" was just making the stock with tighter dimensions so the receiver fits better) and the 2112 armorers typically used Bisonite as the bedding compound on the M40's during the 1960/70's. I don't know what material this gray bedding is and I don't know why the 2112's didn't use Bisonite like the majority of the bedded M40's.

I've seen a few other original M40 stocks with this same bedding, so it's probably original to the stock when it was in USMC inventory. If this is the case, then the foregrip and stock modifications were also done at the RTE shop, since the stock would have to be rebedded for a new civilian barreled action (if the mods were done outside the Corps). I don't know why someone would go through all the trouble modifying the stock and then not fit it to their barreled action.

My barreled action sort of fits the stock after I slightly opened up the recoil lug inlet, but it's still not a perfect fit in the original bedding. When I received the stock I looked closely at the bedding and it was clean, no one had touched the bedding until I decided to do so. All of this information points to the stock possibly being modified by 2112's.




Modified M40 on the left, regular M40 on the right:




So, that's my new stock and that's all the information I have, hopefully someone here knows something about it! I think this could be an RTE modified M40 stock, there's a few indicators that it's possible and the 2112's were known to have modified a ton of M40 parts after the Vietnam War. They experimented with everything in order to create a better sniper rifle (that's how they ended up with the M40A1), so it wouldn't surprise me at all if this was one of their creations. However, this RTE connection is pretty much impossible to prove without a firsthand account from a 2112 or sniper who made/saw/used this stock. It could also be some drunken creation by a civilian who got their hands on a cheap surplus stock. I have no idea, I just think it's interesting.

What do you guys think about this strange stock?

Brand new in box Mausingfield, never been chambered, never had a barrel on it. With Action Wrench (will not separate).

Specs;

Right Bolt

$1,325.00 P/P discrete, Shipped/insured, my FFL to yours. Round numbers, that's what I paid for the Action and wrench. Not looking to make a profit, just recoup my investment.

I don’t know what these are worth now. Gunbroker prices are anywhere from $2k-$3500. I got this one a couple years ago. About 40-50 rds down the tube. Shoots amazing. I kept it on my quad in a rack for any game I ran across. It has some wear marks here and there. It’s not a safe queen. But it’s in really good condition. I can take any more pics you may want or need. Just PM me.

Asking $2500 OBO shipped. I’m open to trades too. Looking for a 4-16 h59 or mil-xt.

This scope is barely used. Excellent condition.

I’ll get pictures up soon.

2350 shipped.

Got a fairly new MDT ESS chassis for the Rem 700 SA right hand. Comes with the basic forearm and the extended forearm. It also has a short arca rail and the extended arca on the forearm. Ceracoated sniper grey.

Asking $800 OBO shipped. Open to trades too. More pics available. Let me know.

For sale is a Tikka Ctr in 6.5 creedmoor with 24” barrel. Rifle has less than 100rds through it and shoots great. Asking $900 shipped to your FFL from an individual.

Yeah yeah she looks like shes 12 and 'shes young' or whatever. I can't seem to figure out though, how she keeps getting large movie roles like Dune (where she was fucking horrible in the limited spots she did get) and Spiderman (who we wont put too much stock in, as someone there thought white trash looking Kirsten Dunst was hot too)

What the fuck?

She's average looking at best and would fit in on the day shift on some latin teeny porn site. She's scrawny with legs that looks like she has rickets. She looks so unhealthy that I'm sure she could actually die of scurvy. Her 'acting' consists of 1 'look' with her goofy ass smile, which is a great analogy for her acting that can be summed up with zero range and her staring slightly off camera and not saying anything. When she does speak, its like there's a 2 second delay from the time her brain figures out whats going on and then transmits it to her mouth.

What in the fuck is a zendaya even? Did the same people who forgot to give you anything resembling a figure forget a last name as well? It sounds like a drug off a commercial where some middle aged white people are walking around with a Labrador while a very calm voice tells you about side effects that include the condition known as hot dog fingers.

No tits.

No ass.

Is just skinny, doesn't work out and wait until that metabolism fucking disappears.

Plain as fuck.

Can't act worth a shit to the point the first memes about Dune weren't about the story but about her being so fucking awful.

Will look like Consuela from Family Guy by the time shes 30.

Yet they plaster her ass all over everything like shes some supermodel who minors in curing children with cancer.

What in the actual fuck? Can we move on from this already?

Selling my like new Vortex Razor Gen3 1-10 mounted in Spuhr 4002 for $2150 shipped. This scope has had approximately 30 rounds of 223 fired under it. PM any questions. No trades at this point. Thanks for looking! Rifle/suppressor/tripod/Pvs24 not included!

Looking for 6.5CM ammo. Prefer the 130's and up. Let me know what you have. Thanks.

Hornady 6.5CM 147 grain bullets available at DVOR.

I started using it because in 375CT 350 grain bullet category it gave about 50-75 fps faster than Retumbo and shot just as well or better.

I'm stopping because I'm now shooting 390s and they like RL50 - but I'm also going back to Retumbo for the 350s because:

1. harder than heck to get - no news there
2. I read on another forum that the VV guys have told others that the nitroglycerine surfaces with time making the powder burn hotter as it gets older. That makes even the same lot unreliable over time because the lot actually changes over time, nevermind any lot-to-lot variation
3. 1&2 compound - you have to stockpile it because you can't get it, so you have a bunch on hand sitting there, oozing NTG and shooting hotter if that report is true
4. It's a barrel burner (more than others). I burned up a 375CT barrel in about a year shooting N570 in it. 0.120" eaten away, borescope shows lake bed effect
5. It's heck to dispense. The ATV4 should solve that problem somewhat, but it's still an unwieldy powder
6. It's temp sensitive, far more so than retumbo

Discuss.

Surprised there isn't a thread on this. Maybe I missed it.

This is like the night Chicago died. It's horrific watching it on TV. It's only miles West from me. Likely not in danger. I have at least one friend, a shooting friend who was out at Pawnee shooting when I texted, that had to evacuate.

Two entire cities have evacuated everyone. Louisville and Superior.

We have one Tenacity with a standard bolt face left.
$880 shipped.
