I’ll have to look for it but didn’t Ryan have a receiver that they had the original roll stamp used on as a give away rifle?

Yes. But the guy who has it doesn't want it to be known who has it. Maybe in the future he will. But right now that isnt an option. But yes he has an original one from Remington.

I can produce small 5 shot groups.
Maintain a single point of aim for 5 shots,
in less than 3 minutes. My problem is
that each 5 shot group is centered in a slightly
different location, relative to the same aimpoint.
By the completion of 10 groups, build the aggregate,
now I'm looking at a total group size
2 or 3 times the average group size.
Outdoors, off the bench, differences in conditions
and shifting cartridge component/assembly patterns
moves those individual groups relative to poa.
I find shooting for score to be a more effective method
of establishing cartridge quality and my ability to judge wind.

Episode two:

Back in the day, I used to hunt prime winter time jack rabbits at night to sell to a local mink farm in Laramie, Wyoming. They fed the carcasses to the mink, and sold the hides to an outfit that made fluffy rabbit mittens, ear warmers, etc. I would spend the proceeds on fuel and ammo. The guy I used to shoot competition with told me he had a couple of boxes of old .410 shotgun shells he wanted to shoot up, but he didn't have a .410 shotgun. I told him he could borrow my father's old bolt action single shot (Winchester 41).

We headed down a county road that went by the Monolith Cement Plant towards Boulder Ridge. I was driving along about 20 mph when a jackrabbit decided it wanted to race. The rabbit was loping along parallel to us, lit up nicely by the fringe of my head lights. Horace (my friend) rolled down the window and told me to pull over and get the spot light on the rabbit. I asked him, "Why you have a shotgun don't you"? He replied, "It's not legal to shoot from the road", as he let it rip. The jack rabbit rolled along in a cloud of fur. We stopped and turned around to get the rabbit. That's when Horace said, "Check these out." He handed me the box of .410 shot shells. He was shooting slugs.

I had one that I sent back due to accuracy, but the replacement shot well.

Isn't this like 2 or 3 yrs old?
ETA: Still glad it happened, (if it really did...) and it IS a nice reminder.

Ended up getting in touch with the actual OP for this chassis. Purchase went smooth and fast. Received today.

I was just trying to figure out a comparison to what end if it's not to figure out if one is more accurate.

Just within the limited scope of that particular preliminary comparison - a test only conducted to determine validity of experimental design, I've already presented here multiple aspects of comparison, as well as demonstration of relative behavior.

Many folks have asked, during the secondary phase of crowd-sourced aspects of comparison, simply for determination or validation of relative performance between these units. "Which one should I buy? And why?" seem pertinent questions for folks with money in hand and all 3 of these options in front of them on the computer screen. Folks are questioning whether the Athlon at the lower price will perform as well as the Garmin and LabRadar units - which have longer market provenance of performance than does the Athlon. Above, I presented a data set showing, at least in this ONE instance, 100 rounds, the consistency between multiple Garmin units is defensibly better than the consistency between the other two brands. The comparison above also presented strong evidence that each brand measures notably faster or slower relative to the others - which, considering the reality of this particular data set, could be considered that the Garmin falling in the middle as the moderate choice, and the above sensitivity analysis, would suggest choosing the Garmin might offer the most moderate risk profile. But... Again, when we really digest the sensitivity analysis, either all of them are right or none are.

Certainly through this particular test, I've also witnessed that frequency/channel hopping or manual assignability is a relatively important consideration for buyers who would be on busy firing lines, AND that the acoustic or recoil trigger options will only HIDE interference, but not actually prevent it. A lot of folks may be mislead by youtube videos of athlons caught in "analysis loops" and think the LX or even the VelociRadar are a better option - but once they fire, both have the same risk of interference, the Athlon is simply more honest about it.

For a great book on Acid Gambit,read Six Minutes to Freedom from about 10 years ago. Superb book! Kurt Muse was the guy that was rescued.

The flying by the 160th guys was incredible!!

Hell if a ballsy mission.

Any one know if FW Arms is going to open up for orders again?
Another site said they sold
Some product lines to Dillon.
Tried several times today to order a new S1050 shell plate and their checkout is not working.
I have called and emailed and no response.

$1400

Just tried to install my vudoo 360 action with 1.2 kriegar barrel and had slop in action with mpa action bolts supplied. Any answers? Thanks

Slop as in side to side or up and down?

So, realistically, how would this sound?

Cool project!

Great design!
