Long range training rifle to grow into (details included)

Zermatt Origin + proof pre-fit is about $1500. TT or BnA trigger another ~$250.

Another ~$1k gets you a pretty decent chassis from KRG or MDT, or other brand.

^ This right here increases the opportunity for the end-user to put together a rifle that fits their wants as closely as possible without breaking the bank.

Toll Road Scam

Some MOFO in Dallas area named Larry somehow used my phone on voter registration, Lowes, etc.

Not sure how to even address this one; I get all sorts of liberal shit to vote for commie 1 or 2, unpaid tolls (probably real in this case), etc.
I had an issue most of last year wherein some female must have signed up for health insurance quotes and fumble-fingered her phone number. So I started getting tons of texts offering health insurance quotes and there was literally nothing I could do about it except delete them. Sometimes 15-20 per day. I think her name was Bandi or something.

AXSR chassis thumb shelf?

Trying this out for a bit and wanted to share... 10/32x1.25" socket screw and a spacer to attach an MDT thumbshelf. Hinge was flipped to the other side which I like better for cleaning. Feels like a good/comfortable position so far, doesn't look that bad, and just takes a few bucks at the hardware store without drilling and tapping. It does sacrifice the qd cup but most folks probably don't use that one anyways. I believe this would work on the chassis (my case) or the rifle.

Need M22 TCM 9mm Conversion Experienced Gunsmith

I have recently purchased a M22 TCM rifle with the intent to convert it in to a 9mm rifle akin to the 9mm Novems that used to be made off the rifle.

I have been calling gunsmiths and no one seems to be willing to take on the job of fitting my barrel blank to the action threads, chambering it, and adjusting the feed block in the front for 9mm feeding. I am not sure it will need it, but some of these require a new extractor to be made in order to be of proper dimensions for reliable extraction with 9mm cases.

If anyone knows of any smith who has done or you think could take on this oddball project of the conversion, I would be in your debt. Willing to ship nationally in order to get solid work done, and I will be willing to pay more than the rifle cost me to do so.

Thanks all!

Surgeon Scalpel in 6.5CM?

I recently purchased a scalpel in 6.5cm - a friend gave me an old box of 120gr AMax (no longer in production) which shot one ragged hole.

Of course it did!

Anyone already tried all the different brands and projo weights to see what the scalpel barrel likes best?

Just out of curiosity, is it a newer model of Scalpel (comes with a Magpul chassis)?

120 ELD-M is going to be close to the A-Max. Chances are though, that your rifle is going to shoot pretty well with many offerings. Sometimes, those old A-Max offerings used to have load data on the box. Hopefully yours does (and you haven't chunked it already). Would be a good starting point for load development if you handload.

Pin and weld suppressor?

Probably a bit late of a reply to be useful, but just in case.

Titanium is a pain in the ass to work with all the way around. It’s supposed to be welded in a sealed chamber, as I recall. Though you might be able to get away with not for something as simple as a pin and weld, because you’re really not doing much there.

And it’s a pain to machine as well. The chips are flammable like magnesium. And it’ll break drill bits if you don’t know what you’re doing with it. And the cutting speeds for titanium are pretty slow.

If you’re not experienced, and don’t have access to the proper equipment it’s going to eat your lunch.
Yeah, I get it. The whole idea of going light on the can was bad from the start.

I've been messing with ARs for better than a couple of decades now and it remains my favorite platform. They are just downright fun to shoot and get the job done.

... but once, just once, I'd like my to be able to have my cake and eat it too. All I want is a 12.5 barrel that gets me 3000 fps with 55gr ammo, with a 4", 4oz can to keep my ears from bleeding that runs smoothly, topped off with a 1-10x lpvo that is tough, with a good 1x, a good 10x, daylight bright illumination and a reticle that scales properly and comes in at 21oz with the mount. If I could have that, I'd only need one rifle. Am I asking too much? Lol.
