Can you guys get WinTac to make a short AT-X forend? I want to run a 16” barrel without chopping the rail itself

Ok still being lazy.

Kind of a typical North Texas TexMex breakfast differing from the standard breakfast burritos.

Probably because the two have the same COAL using AR15 magazines.

Nope, I'm using cut mags and a notched lower. I can load to 2.4" and the only thing that happens when I try to load hotter is the brass takes a beating and accuracy gets worse.

Let me then share my version of a Johnny Cash song with you. I wrote this version after Thanskgiving 2022. I got a colonoscopy that Sunday. Before that, you drink this prep stuff.

Essentially, when you drink the first batch, you need to go ahead set up on the commode. The last remaining brain cells you have will leave you through your anus. 3 hours later, I finally dry up enough to put on an incontinence underwear I bought just for this. Get some sleep and the alarm is set for midnight. I get up and go through the second batch. Another 3 hours until I am just pouring out water.

So, the song, and if you can do it in the voice of Johnny Cash, even better:

"I sat on a burning ring of fire.
I sat down, down, down and the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns
This ring of fire.
A ring of fire."

The alarm rings again at 6 am and I shower. No water or coffee.

I go to the hospital (it is across the street from the facility where my wife lives.) My friend from high school meets me there since they require I have someone to accompany me. I told him we would have to walk in hand in hand, singing "You're The One That I Want" from "Grease."

Since I am a light tenor, I would sing the Sandy role done by Olivia Newton-John.

We did not actually do that but it was worth the laugh.

Before getting hooked up for sleepy juice, a nurse notices a lump that has been in my back for almost 20 years. She wondered what it was and I said it was a dependent I write off on taxes. She said it is probably a fatty noma.

Anyway, I get wheeled in the operation room and they give me the sleepy stuff.

Later, I wake up in a recovery room. The doctor brings me water and coffee. He asked if I had any questions.

I asked, "Did you find Jimmy Hoffa in there?"

He said, "No, we did not."

Never cracked a smile or chuckle. Probably use to all the shitty jokes, pun intended.

2 small polyps, 4 large polyps, all benign.

Big bottle of Miralax, 40 ct bottle water and cherry pomegranate single mix packets, 2 cap fulls in bottle of water with flavor packet, drink, repeat every 30 minutes until the Miralax is gone, you can whistle at both ends at the same time and no sitting around waiting for prescription medication to kick in. After the 3rd colonoscopy and endoscopy in 6 months, a nurse shared that trick with me.

Literally beats the shit out of the nasty ass liquid medication and works fantastic. Just make sure you drink a plain bottle of water between doses or you can get dehydrated.

Kudos to @Overwatch260 on the 1x menu setting. I was also able to figure out synching the ballistic app to the unit. Took a while of tweaking bc to get to match my Kestrel but good enough out to 300m now which is likely as far as I’ll ever shoot pigs/coyotes at night. REALLY impressed with this unit, and so far glad I didn’t get the RH25 v2 I nearly purchased a couple weeks ago. Time will tell on zeroing process and if will hold zero, but so far loving this unit. Pic shows the solution as it comes up, and is generated pretty quick. Only complaint so far is the WiFi is a little slow to connect. Would need to connect at beginning of hunt and leave powered up the whole time, which may be an issue the way I typically hunt. Doubtful gonna be able to make it out next weekend due to work, but now trying to move stuff around so I can get out the following week.

Hopefully 243LBC makes a comeback with ICAR.

I've got a 6mm Grendel/243LBC/6mm Predator, whatever you want to call it, and my numbers are almost identical to 6ARC. What's the shoulder difference, like .060? Not much. I might be able to achieve slightly higher max velocities but the nodes where they are happiest are the same.

It looks like the groove with the gas ports is cut at an angle which I’m guessing means that the gas hits the ports in a 1,2, 3 sequence. Slightly spacing out the timing of the gas hitting the ports potentially smooths out the recoil impulse. That’s my guess.

This is what I could find in the patent so far

The respective axial positions of the barrel gas ports 110 can be different , and the groove 108b can have a shape other than curvilinear in variants of the barrel 16b . In the depicted embodiment , the propellant gas enters the lower , rearmost two barrel gas ports 110 simultaneously and the top , frontmost gas port 110 after the other two . In some embodiments , axially offsetting two or more of the gas ports produces a softer push of the action , which is believed to be caused by the offset timing of the gas passing through the ports . This softer push may improve operation of at least some firearms

Alright, I hadn't looked that far into it. I could see how spreading the impulse out longer by having the ports timed differently could make some difference.

LOL- Komrade Vansky thought he could mouth off to Z-man and play bitch-boy in the Oval, then run off to go hit the slopes in Vermont of new Glorious USSA.

He's never going to get a moment of peace until he flees to Russia with his family and moves into a crappy Moscow-suburbs condo with a shared wall with Edward Snowden.

He just blew his chances of ever being POTUS-48.

Tiny hat club.

Looks good!

Abel stuff is very high quality, and the guys at Abel are great to work with.

That would be my pick if its in the budget.

Another update on the 11.5 Armalite. I went to a 100 yard range today with more GGG M193 and some AAC 77gr OTM and a chronograph.

Unfortunately, I didnt think about putting a bigger scope on it, so all shooting was done with the TA11 I had on top of it.

I thought the chrono numbers looked pretty good. I used 10 shot strings.

M193 - 2763 vel. 16.5 SD 59.9 ES
AAC 77gr - 2282 vel. 17.7 SD 43.3 ES

Neither of the types of ammo I used were match grade by any means, but they were pretty consistent.

Groups with the M193 ran in the 2 to 2.5 MOA range. At least I know from yesterday that it shoots well enough to put hits on reduced size IPSC targets at 400.

The AAC 77gr shot into the MOAish range. MOA give or take. This is the same result that I get out of my 16" Criterion Hybrid barrel, so Im happy with that. I just wish I got a bit more velocity out of it. I think this lot of AAC was underpowered.

I was running the gas block with the .066 gas port and the AAC failed to lock back on the last round. I put the block with the .070 port back on when I got home, just to be sure.

Try it with Black Arc NAS3 69gr TMK. Should do between 2719-2818fps from 11.5"
Black Arc 62gr TTSX would be a good barrier-blind round too. That should do between 2837-2936fps from 11.5"

What can are you putting on it?

Scope back up for sale. Buyer backed out. He is a new member so becareful of him wasting your time as well.

I dont think the very, VERY small part of the .mil that took on the 6arc will have anything to do with its success or failure. It is a good round, and with hornady backing, I think thats enough to keep it around a long time.

That was initially true when it was just the original customers, but with more DM/Snipers in SOCOM adopting it, that will put a lot of wind in 6mm ARC’s sail.

Especially with the Surefire/Magpul collaboration on the ICAR, and the emergence of 338 ARC, it establishes a new ecosystem for the .441” case head cartridges like 22 ARC, 6mm ARC, 6.5 Grendel, and 338 ARC.

Basically a new generation of AR-15 that runs on true intermediate cartridges, vs the smaller .378” cartridges.

HahahaHAAA....

You feel that dick? That's the good Komrade touch...

Oh, we will still pay.

Probably to a new Warsaw Pact.

Why fake it through?

You know that's fake bullshit... it just damages the point you are trying to make.

Don't Globalists like you just wish...

Komrade Vansky is going to get called "Sooka" everywhere he goes for the rest of his life. He's never going to get a moment of peace.

He tried to lay on the sass and got called a bitch. LOL

That was actually the funniest part.

Seriously? You are retarded? Your shit country is considered one of the most corrupt on EARTH. And you claim there is zero corruption. An awesome level of fucktard has been achieved. You worship a guy who played piano with his dick.

The whole thing with the 1/2x28 threads on a heavy barrel has always been something that bothered me. I've heard the notion of mitigating this with a muzzle device. What also worries me is overtightening the muzzle device and I dont think I've ever found a definitive torque spec on muzzle devices. If it matters, I always time my muzzle devices with shims.

As for controlling gas, we'll have to agree to disagree regarding using springs to affect closed bolt lock time. Nevertheless, I do agree that controlling gas flow is the way to go. Although I'm trying to get away from using "controls", my chosen method thus far has been riflespeed gas blocks. I think they truly are the best thing going.

Yeah, after learning about how the AMU went through a lot of testing with muzzle device effects on precision, I’m a fan of low or no torque using shims and Rocksett on muzzle devices. Adding counteractive axial force via torque on threads to the smaller diameter muzzle doesn’t make much sense to me. In one direction, we have force applied to the shoulder from the back of the device compressing against shims, and in the other direction, we have threads inside the device pulling forward on the muzzle thread peaks.

I like a precision-threaded muzzle by an OCD Gen X gunsmith/machinist with decades behind a lathe, or an older semi-autistic millennial who was trained by an OCD Boomer or Gen X machinist on how to do thread jobs.

For cyclic rate, I use a combo of metering the gas, with the extra power spring providing more return-to-battery energy for positive feeding and bolt closure. Buffer weights are really meant for countering carrier-bounce on different barrel weights on select-fire guns.

Proper or extra power action springs help ensure the bolt always goes into battery when running suppressed too, due to changes in coefficient of friction with fouling in the action.
