And I was over there for 2.5 hours yesterday.

I think I just OD'd on zinc. I've been good at popping my supplements, a combo of zinc, quercetin (until I found it's hard on kidneys), vitamin D (like 15-20k), airborne and YouTherapy Immune+, Reservatrol. Just doubled up this morning and adding CoQ10, NAC, and Lactoferrin and I have some Black Seed Oil on order now. But I'll just keep the usual supplements going now after a boost.

Fever...well, for me yes. 98.6 (I run usually 97.2); slight headache, but no loss of smell, taste and no more than the usual aches save from busting my ass yesterday.

Going to drink plenty of water, go for my bike ride, and hope for the best. Just got over freaking bronchitis and still have that damn dry cough shit. SHIT!!!!!!!!!!

On the other hand, I'll keep a positive outlook and say if I don't get it I'm either equipped with bad ass immune system or I've already had it.

**If you have been watching this listing you will see I removed the Seekins rings. I sold the scope that is pictured on this rifle with the rings, caps, bubble level. However if you want it as a package I have the exact same scope in APA rings that I will include. I am also listing this with options to part out.**



The 20" tan rifle is back up for sale!
I am the original owner of this rifle. I built it for my daughter but we never have time to shoot. As such it has less than 500 rounds down the pipe. Here are the specs:

-V-22 Gen 2 action
- VGW installed Bartlein 1-16 barrel 20" and threaded
- Timney 2 stage R-700 trigger (flat shoe)
-KRG Bravo chassis with several modifications: adjustable butt, adjustable check, minimalist spigot, extra heavy spacer(see attached pic from the order)
-Vortex Razor Gen 2 4.5-27X56 EBR-1C with Vortex flip up caps, bubble level, sunshade and box
-1 magazine included
**Bipod no longer available, I'm keeping it**
The rifle shoots excellent, I have attached some 100 yard targets the 6X5 thread (it's the target that is noted to be shot with the 20" gun not the 22"). I have the box for the barreled action from VGW, chassis, and Scope that I can include or ship them in. I am not looking to split them up right now, I would like to sell as a package. Feel free to reach out with any questions or for more pics.

This is basically a new rifle and in excellent condition.
**SOLD**
-$3925 shipped for the rifle , and scope as pictured
-$2350 shipped for everything less the scope
-$1875; shipped barreled action with trigger (keep in mind this is not the standard trigger that comes with a rifle from VGW, this is the Timney 2 stage which is $40 more than the 510V2 they offer at the base price)
-$1550 Razor Gen 2 with Tenebraex caps, box, but no rings
-$500 shipped for the chassis with all the accessories ($235 of additional parts come with the chassis)
*I am not willing to separate the trigger from the barreled action to just sell the trigger by itself*

If you don't want the boxes for the scope, chassis, or barreled actions I can buy an inexpensive hard case to ship them in so that may take a few days but we can work that out. I am fairly firm on the price but will accept offers, I am not really looking for trades at this time.

Please reach out with any questions or for more pics.

I was given this knife when I was 10 years old or so by an old gentleman who fought through the Pacific. I was completely convinced I would become a Marine back then, and I did as soon as I graduated highschool. He told me he carried it through his time fighting the Japanese and he wanted me to have it. It has traveled with me since. I am not a collector and it just sits with a bunch of other knives I don't use or need. I just want it to go to a good home where someone will take care of it better than I have time to.
I really don't know what a fair price is for it, to me it's priceless but that is only for the history of it. It is in pretty good condition with no real damage just some wear and light tarnish and a few spots that like to show a little rust. The sheath was coated in something to protect the leather and is cracking now but the leather is in good condition and you can see the USMC and EGA under the coating.

473 bolt face (6x47, 6.5 x 47 and others). These has been in a parts box for some time because even with the replacement LRI follower, it still doesn't feed like it should.

Could someone post some pics of a working combo, and did you have to tweak the feed lips? I had 3, sold one some time ago, and would like to get these working if possible.

Thanks.

I am looking to trade some powder (Retumbo,H1000,Varget,RL33,RL16) for the following 7mm bullets:

• 180 Grain Hybrid Target
• 175 Grain Elite Hunter

Powder is new/sealed and purchased within the last 2 months.

Located in Tucson, but traveling to Phoenix next weekend and willing to meet up within a reasonable distance.

I am also willing to purchase the bullets outright since I know shipping will be an issue.

Please let me know what you have.

Thank you

Got it from a buddy that went Atlas instead but I would prefer the regular height one so I'd be happy to trade as well.

Go easy fellas I have a lot to learn. Books have been ordered but they aint here yet. Bought a new 3rd Gen Tactical brand AR in 223 Wilde a few days ago. Will be used for Varmint hunting out to 200 yds max usually at night. So far so good with load development. The best yet is 26 grains of CFE223 that shoots .495" 6 shot groups at 100yds with my varmint bullet of choice (Sierra 55gr BTHP) However it appears when I added my can it is making the brass very black now. Before with just the factory break they looked a lot cleaner. Am I to assume im overgassing now? How do I tell if I have an adjustable gas block and if I do how do I adjust it? There are two Allen head screws on the bottom of the gas block under the hand guard. Accuracy went WAY up with the can (SilencerCo Hybrid) but so did the "soot" on the brass. Come on with the comments as I know next to nothing about semi autos. I am on old school bolt gun guy.

Looking for flip caps for zco 527. I really like the ones for my kahles that thread on the front and have a screw clamp on the ocular. I'm not sure how that ocular on the zco handles a flip cap or how tenebrex or adamount caps attach on the ocular or the front. Would love some recs so I don't waste my money on something I won't want.

Thanks

For anyone looking, they're available at Thermal Optics. Merry Christmas.

I got a nucleus gen 2 long action with magnum bolt face for a 7 SAUM. What chassis should I get.

Hi there,
I'm searching for a rather compact scope for my AR10 with a 16" barrel.
Should be used mainly for plinking out to max. 600-800m.
I know this can be done with a 1-6 scope but I like more magnification better.

My favourite choicec are at the moment:
1, a used S&B 5-20x50 ultra short without illumination for 2000$ (private seller)
2, a new Minox ZP5 3-15x50 for 2300$ (from a official dealer)
3, a new Vortex Viper PST Gen. II 3-15x44 ffp mrad for 1250$

I know the Vortex won't be as good as the other two but the razor hd gen 2 which would be better to compare costs more than the minox here and is therefore not interesting for me.

Are the minox and the S&B worth the higher price?

Enough said

(worried about Santa’s safety???)

MSNBC calls for end of NORAD Santa Tracker

On the125 mm "tubes" the Russians have, thats a 5 inch target. So what happens if you put a .50 bmg slug down the muzzle? Would the round in the tube explode? Would it deform the shell so it would be hazardous to fire? How about a 308 steel round? Any tankers out there know the answer?

The old 1911's rusting away will break your heart.

BLACK FRIDAY GUN SHOPPING IN ETHIOPIA​

By nature of the past 130 years frequented by conflict in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia has tons of vintage military arms up for sale.
One European importer, based in the Czech Republic, has been detailing their shopping trips to the African country where surplus firearms are stacked deep and priced cheap. Zelený Sport Defence's mononymous globetrotting buyer, Schuster, has been sending snaps back from his trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's ancient capital, filled with historic firearms.
The old Ethiopian Empire fought several wars against Italy (in 1887–1889, 1895-1896, 1935-37), a cycle that was only broken after liberation in World War II. This left the country with not only stacks of guns both bought to fight off the Italians-- M1874 Gras rifles, Gewehr 71s and 88s, Remington Rolling Blocks, FN-made Mausers, British Lee-Enfields, Russian Berdan and Model 91/30 Mosin-Nagants-- but also those captured from the Italians including Vetterlis, and Carcanos of every stripe.

How many can you identify? (Photo: Zelený Sport Defence)
At least Ethiopia has a dry climate (Photo: Zelený Sport Defence)
Lugers, anyone? (Photo: Zelený Sport Defence)
For fans of .303 British (Photo: Zelený Sport Defence)

Moving into more modern times, the Imperial Ethiopian Army fought alongside U.S. forces in Korea, and as part of the UN effort in the Congo a decade later, armed with U.S-supplied M1 Carbines, M1 Garands, and M1911s. Therefore, it is no surprise that vintage American hardware is rusting away there.

This...hurts. (Photo: Zelený Sport Defence)
Some body please send this Python back home! (Photo: Zelený Sport Defence)
This M14, however, is un-importable except as a parts kit, which is even sadder. (Photo: Zelený Sport Defence)

After the communist Derg overthrew Emperor Haile Selassie in 1974, the country became an ally of Moscow and, fighting a 17-year civil war against folks not so inclined, was flooded with military aid from Soviet arsenals. That makes AKs, SKSs and the like common in the country.

Just goes to show, you can find almost anything in Ethiopian warehouses. (Photo: Zelený Sport Defence)

With the Derg long ago consigned to the dustbin of history, a lot of that gear is now up for grabs as well. Even the 20-year-long war between Ethiopia and neighboring Eritrea calmed down in 2018, with the country seeing at least a degree of peace until the so-called Tigray War began last November, but even that seems to be winding down.
For the past couple of years, the Ethiopians have been having a clearance sale on all this old military gear and, besides the Czechs, American importers have been getting in on the action-- as has been well chronicled by Gun Jesus-- so you can expect much of the above to be bought up and fed into the milsurp market in the near future.
Bring it!

I absolutely hate buying new scopes. There are so many options and I've buyer's remorse more than once.

So as much as it pains me...I need a new scope for my bolt action 308. This is a simple utility rifle, currently hosting a PST2 3-15, that gets a fair amount of range time.

I've some extra money and would like to upgrade optics and move the PST2 to another AR rifle. The help I could use is in finding another scope with similiar features, maybe a little more magnification.

Ideally, I would like to stay under $1200.

Any thoughts, suggestions and snide comments are welcome.

Thanks

I’m going between a 6.5 prc and a 6.5 saum in a surgeon action

Other suggestions ??

Thanks in advance

Bill

I have a .30 cal structured barrel I’m wanting to sell its 30” and 1-8 twist was gonna build a ELR rifle but changed my mind $2000

I like Leatherneck for its historical pieces on "The Old Breed".

Otherwise it drives me shithouse with often woke BS or the dumb Editor saying dumb shit that exposes her fobbit nature.......shit like M-14s can't be shot at 1000 yards than doubling down when a PMI from that era told her to shit in her fist.

Than I saw they actually included this poem in their latest batch of letters from readers....



A striking divergence from their usual fawning BS. I note any picture of POTUS dealing with mil if it includes Obama highlights Obama over the mil member but when a picture from the Trump era is used they show Trumps back and focus on the mil member.

Hey CDR Boyce USN, you may not think so, but from my 0351 perspective being on a sub is front line shit.......
