Barrel cleaning advice is more about opinions and guesswork than anything approaching science. Here are a few of my non-scientific opinions:

When starting out with a new hammer forged, chrome lined barrel (e.g., Noveske), JB Bore Paste (600 grit) is very helpful getting all that release agent out of the bore. I'm guessing it simultaneously does a good job of knocking down the high spots in the chrome on a microscopic level. Early accuracy results would indicate so. A new chrome lined barrel prepped like this also stays cleaner than one not prepped. This all indicates to me that JB Bore Paste is a good thing.

I use JB Bore Paste on chrome lined machine gun barrels. Zero issues. It's the only way that I know to get one to even approach being clean.

KG Industries KG-2 is a much milder 1200 grit, non-imbedding polish. A few drops on a couple of VFG pellets will do the same thing as the JB Bore Paste, just in a more gentle manner. This stuff is 100% safe in SS barrels, too, so long as you don't go crazy and overdo it. I've found it useful every few hundred rounds in smoothing out throat erosion and heat checking. This is not unlike the effect of a Tubb "Final Finish" bullet - just lots cheaper! Beware: If you clean the entire barrel with KG-2, it's so effective at removing all copper that you'll lose 50 FPS. It's almost like starting over with a new barrel. But, in 20 rounds, you'll be back in business.

To be determined.

I know it’s more of a niche, but if you come out with a right hand CZ 455 lemme know!

I have been shooting a Bergara for NRL 22 and want to upgrade to a Vudoo eventually but don't want to spend that much at the moment.... So I was thinking I could buy the chassis now and use it for the B14 for now, then get a Vudoo Barreled action later.

Not sure if that's the best plan, but seems logical while sitting here with my 1st drink of the night..

I would like to know what more experienced shooters think and then which chassis... I was looking at MPA and MDT but don't have any experience with either but I really want to look cool, even if I don't hit anything.

I absolutely love my Cadex Competition Folder. I've owned about 6-8 different chassis over the years and it's still my favorite. Even with it's one glaring downside.
I wish they had multiple different hand guard options. Mine is a Gen 1 version, so it's a proprietary mounting system, made before MLok and Arca really got popular.
Now, they do offer a newer Mlok version, but IMO, the round tube does not lend itself well to adding a flat arca plate.

In an ideal world, I'd love to see both an open top hand guard, with integrated ARCA on the bottom, Internal weight capabilities, and MLok on the bottom and sides...as well as a full tube mirage shield with mlok and integrated arca on bottom.

Bud Light aint beer, and it aint for men.

At a match, I like to pre-hydrate the day before with a couple gatorades, and the day of, I like to have 24oz gatorade with a 5h Energy IN IT for basically my own home made energy drink.
Most matches tend to have water on hand.

1911's have come a long way in the last 40 years!

I remember being at our local IPSC matches back then and the 1911 guys couldn't make it through a match without a malfunction so I'd beat them with my super reliable Highpower, and when I got the first G22 in town, it was game over for the rest of the shooters until someone else got one. 16rounds of 40S&W and never a malfunction was too hard to compete against.

Granted, yes, most of those 1911's were tuned by their owners or box stock.

Then I had a custom 38 Super 1911 built which occasionally malfunctioned. He was supposedly a top GS in Phoenix at the time but I wasn't pleased with the gun.

2011's have been very reliable for me though especially after some mag tuning by a professional.

They must have 1911's down really well now!

I’ll take this as per my PM

I'll have to watch the videos later,

BUT

here is a fun thing to think about.

One woman is probably making a lot of money (or at least some) doing videos, warning men of the dangers of other women.

So you know she's using men as well in her own way.
This is similar to many of the other "friendly advice for men" channels on YouTube and others.

Essentially men are so screwed every which way (except the way they want)...

That is always a possibility but Pearl has been demonetized for what she said in the past. If she's trying to grift, she isn't doing a very good job of it.

Erin of Far From Eden hasn't made much money either for being a men's advocate.

There a lots of feminized simps who take up for the women so why isn't is possible for some women to become men's rights advocates?

Dr. Helen Smith was a one time feminist who practiced psychology in New York City. After she built up a practice with a lot of male patients who were abused by women she had to overcome her feminism and face a paradigm shift. Her first foray into the public eye was when she wrote the book "Men On Strike." She's still an outspoken men's rights advocate.

The one thing that I see in common with these women is that they aren't telling us to "man up" like other so-called "conservative" women. They are warning us of the dangers we face when entering into a relationship with a woman.

We don't need women to tell us that because the empirical evidence is overwhelming. However, it's still refreshing to see women call out other women.

If these women, and others like them, are making money by speaking up for men and they are honest about it, then I'm all for them profiting. They deserve something for their efforts.
