T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

My 16" T1x was never any good at distance, some ammo was ok but it was very picky on ammo (at distance).
Inside if 150m it wasn't too bad but 200m+ was never much fun.

The vertical matches the ES of the ammo, so it could just be the ammo sucks but also could be the barrel producer produces higher ES.

I have a lot of Velocity data from my 25.5" barreled T1x, and will eventually try some of that ammo in this rifle.
One of the main reasons for going so long on my custom barrel was the theory behind longer barrels having smaller ES.
I guess there are too many variables at play with just two data point but it'll be interesting to see none the less.
My custom 24” barrel is a lot tighter vertically that my custom 20” was with the same ammo, but not really apples to apples; different chamber and different twist.

Suppressors New TBAC cans for 2024

Yes, there is a strange inconsistency in their logic, but the man himself has stated you’re not gonna buy end caps from them
Modularity is not the issue. The Ultra 50 is modular. Shipping a suppressor with multiple end caps makes it so all parts are not configured and used when the suppressor is fully assembled. It's the extra parts that is the legal issue.

New Lot CCI 450 issues

These were two of the failure to fire rounds, primer strikes look good. I sent the picture to Tate/Impact as well and he agreed.
It's really hard to tell in those pictures as they kinda look a little light, but not enough where I wouldn't think it'd keep them from igniting.

The other place I'd take a close look at is the case headspace; a short case headspace can cause this issue too???

Cole-Tac Holster For Suppressed 22LR Pistol

I got this today. It's a holster that is more like a chest rig but I found it comfortable to wear a little lower toward the left side of my torso. It's also comfortable, as designed, to be worn close to the chest. It's easy to adjust the straps while wearing it with the pistol enclosed. I give it 6 out of 5 stars.

SOLD Leupold MK5hd 7-35 CCH Mils in Spuhr 5002 Mount $2000 shipped OBO

Selling a Leupold Mk5HD 7-35 CCH reticle in Mils in a Spuhr SP-5002 mount with a bubble level and scope caps. Asking $2000 shipped to your door OBO. Took as a trade for another scope. Little too heavy for my NRL rig to make weight with so need to go another route. Still functions great. Only trades I would consider are MDT lightweight double pull+cash, lower end optic + cash, or a CZ 457 action + cash. Just want to use it as a Donor action so the cheaper and barer, the better.

AXSR action bolts issue

Maybe I'm understanding the original post wrong, but did you try shorter bolts? It almost seems like they're like 3-4mm too long?
I recently got a Manners PRS stock, and they shipped me the action screws for the mini chassis. Both of them were the right thread, but the head was a tiny bit too big, it wouldn't fit without turning them down, which I'm no machinist whatsoever. I called them, they resent me bolts, and they were the same way lol....So i went and got the right ones at a local store. I also received a new Impact 737 action in February with no feed ramps machined at all in it. I figured i was the unlucky duck with new rifle issues.
No, I don’t want to start modifying it to fix something that shouldn’t even be a problem. They’re kind of a specialty bolt anyway because they are meant to be captured by the chassis so they only have a section of threads at the end that engages the receiver.

Barrel vises and cerakote

personally I skip the coating, it can look good but I go through barrels fast enough it's just a waste of money. I've given up on protecting the barrel from the vice also, I was sick of peeling masking tape off (drywall tape would work well). I don't care if it gets a couple marks from swapping it, it's gonna be a tomato stake in 10 months anyways.

Hunting rifle is a different story, it's coated to match but it will last years and I don't change it around ever. set it and forget it.
