Not many heavy barrel 223’s anymore?

You can surf the internet for a used one for your price range, or you can enjoy the journey of putting together your own .223 heavy-barreled trainer. More than your budget for sure, but if you pay as you go it is manageable. Bonus that there are no personal compromises if you do it the latter way.

I reused an old 700 action for mine. It wears a 26" Krieger heavy varmint, and is a joy to shoot.

Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

The knurled portion would add an extra 1/2-5/8 inch for the cover.(depending on how you want it to fit) for complete cover, it would be 5/8 or just over that. But to have it land on and mostly cover would be the 1/2 mark.

Thanks. Wasn’t wanting to cover the whole thing but was just wondering if it was a 1/4-1/2” over in length if it would be fine and it would. Thanks.

Very disappointed

^ I remember the last time I hit that 800 yard barrier. I was blasting half-MOA groups out to 799 yards...

Scooted a step back just to get an even number, fired, no impact. Fired again, no impact.

All of a sudden my neighbors cow came out of the woods limping from an obvious gunshot wound to the foot. She was at least 25* off my line of fire and only 425 yards away. It's amazing what those 168s will do once you hit 800 yards and the accuracy comes apart...

How do you handle rude folks in a coffee shop who won’t take their phone

I have these taste buds that make me think all coffee sucks.

Actually. Most coffee is absolute shit water.
I have had some friends here on the Hide that introduced me to some actual good coffee.
You probably have a highly developed palate. The masses will generally eat dog shit and drink swamp water.

M14/M1A built or buy??

Sweet rifle. I miss my JAE stock.

That's my second one, a Gen 3. I had the 7th or 8th Gen 1 that was made, I preordered right after they were announced. It was comfy but the gen 1 had no adjustable front ferrule tensioner and my action had no tension on the front ferrule in the gen 1 so accuracy suffered.

The gen 3 with the adjustable front ferrule tensioner took care of that issue.

I drilled and tapped the rail on my M25 and made an 1/8" thick ABS brass deflector / scope turret protector that bolted to the top of the rail and sat under the scope that protected the windage knob. Worked well and did not cause any ejection issues.

For a scoped M1A I prefer a scope with a low profile capped windage knob if possible because of the ejection angle, but the little deflector plate I made worked well with both and exposed windage turret scope and a capped turret scope on my M25.

Edit: found a pic.

Night Vision DNT Announces Price Increase

Well @gr8fuldoug , if you get low on stock in the MIL version, hold one aside for me, let me know, and I'll grab it from you before the price increase. 😂
I got a delivery yesterday which is now half gone. Give a call, 516-217-1000, and I'll get one on the way to you.

As far as the price increase goes, once I get the intel I will pass it on. Been doing this way to long to guess at what's going to happen.
