I copper-hammer tested one of mine. All I did was get a sore arm and bend the base.

What platform was this fired from, gas or bolt?

99% bolt. I’d love to say 100% but I can’t guarantee a piece from a gas gun fidnt get in there somehow. I will add some extra pieces.

I have pic's on my flash drive but it's at home. I have the customers barrel here and it's one of them I use for a show and tell. I/we have a few here that we keep for show and tell.

Anyways it's a 308win barrel. Our barrel. The gunsmith that built the gun for the customer was Pierce Eng. and they reached out to me when the barrel wouldn't shoot all of a sudden. The customer cleaned the rifle one time... with Witch's Brew and a brush. He took a full .001" of material out of the bore of the barrel. Barrel only has 500 rounds on it. Now junk.

Dave Tooley and I have talked about this a lot. He has a Lilja 30cal barrel he fitted up for a customer in 30BR. The gun shot 1/2" groups at 200 yards. Shot a total of 250 rounds on it. The shooter cleaned it one time with Flitz and a brush. Now it would only shoot 2" groups at 200 yards.

So......

Not my mounts, I suspect they are doing them in-house, or at least via commission.

Moved back to Varget for now, 26" Benchmark Varget 27.8 105HY seating test from about .060 jump to .030" 2712 8.8sd/32es across all but my CCB. I am going to try and run this at a local match in the coming weeks provided I get enough time to verify my drop data with it before hand... and the power stays on long enough to load ammo... we had some straight-line winds and two small tornado's roll through the area and the linemen have been very busy trying to get us all back up before today's storms start.

Seems like that's what they spent the last 4 years trying to provoke. It would give them the excuse to publicly perpetrate the violence on us they really want to, instead of shooting up concerts and shooting at our president and blaming it on a lone crazy. There pros and cons to everything.

Fun, but unless engaged in a guerrilla conflict… just range blasters.

Hi
I got a used Barnard S rifle. Tested it out and seemed fine.
Now, if I close the bolt and lift it, there's just a tiny lift pressure. More or less the same as my other Zermatt rifle. If I close the bolt, pull the trigger, with no round in the chamber of course, the lift is considerably heavy than without pulling the trigger. Is this normal? What causes this?

Thank you

You fired it. In order to fire again you have to recock that firing pin. If you don’t pull the trigger the firing pin remains held back by the trigger and is already cocked.

only issue ive had so far with "precision" reloading on a 650xl is the cylindrical powders dont work well in there powder measures. For example, IMR4064 does not meter well at all.

More than likely, drive a rock fast enough in a sewer pipe and it will. Look at the flat base 53-53 grain choices for 300 and in.

In my CZ 16" VPT, Norma Tac 22 is .1-.2 better than the match.

Edit, a 55 fmj should be stable… but that doesn’t mean a shitty bullet can be made accurate by spinning it more.

the pull towards "beware the man with only one gun, he probably knows how to use it" is strong on many days.

ive gravitated to one AR that is my go-to ranch truck gun, and have too many bolt guns. i think i need to whittle them down, bigly.

Granted none of us are bonafide scientists, but at least trying to adhere to even the most modicum of the definition will help keep clarity.

Based on the above, it appears Frank and crew have it covered, especially from the match experiences and sheer volume at the shop. The last time I checked, he is using the English language.

i got a pile of AKs i got into before prices skyrocketed and build kits dried up. i like them for what they are, i never shoot them ..... been thinking about dumping all AK stuff and being out of it completely.
