Most handguards that require a special barrel nut will come with the nut. Some also include the wrench, while others will not. Centurion makes handguards that will bolt on around the stock barrel nut, but you need to remove the delta ring. It's another option.

The BCM barrels rarely come back into stock outside of the regular 14.5 mid length gov profile or sometimes the ELW profile. Do research on the barrels. There should be plenty of reviews on 11.5 barrels on the market. Some have better reputations than others. Daniel Defense, Centurion, Criterion etc tend to be good barrels with decent to good accuracy and tend to be gassed well.

Just make sure you get a good tool to hold the upper and barrel like the MI reaction rod. Less chance of damage to the receiver if you use a tool like that.

Either that or the Muslim hordes stripped the pyramids of all their high-value metals and stone work for their heathen mosques and Sultans’ palaces.

Imagine when she gets a kid and that nose resurfaces.

The Amish TSA rapper at Tampa International Airport tried to steal a bag containing 300 Morgan silver dollars right in front of me. It xrayed as a chunk of metal. The Amish all started squeezing their nuts, pinching their dicks and fondling themselves. A sure indication of pending crime. Two of them grabbed the bag and started to run for the exit. I grabbed the bag back. A piece of shit Airport pig jumped in to help them.

I made a bit of a scene and dared the shitbag cop to fucking shoot me and rob me in front of a dozen witnesses. Suddenly people are watching and the Amish started looking guilty. I started recording the crime and then like fucking magic I was cleared to go. TSA is questionable at most airports in large cities.

As soon as the robbery failed, asshole cop starts questioning my about why I was carrying silver. I complimented his crippling low IQ and asked him if he would mail them instead.

Civil Asset forfeit laws are bullshit. Watch that stupid smugglers show on History channel. 90% of cash seizures are people who fear crooked cops and didn't want to fill out a please steal from me form.

6.5 Grendel is definitely one of those chamberings that sees significant performance difference based on what optic you put on it.

You almost can’t put enough scope performance on it, but you can put too much scope size/weight/bulk if you’re going for a more handy, lightweight set-up.

With 5.56, I feel like most of the modern modern LPVOs are overkill for the limited cartridge performance. You can slap larger magnification on an SPR-type set-up, but you’re just splitting hairs on how well you can shoot within its anemic limits on-steel.

With Grendel, you just see more and more hit probability in your favor at distance, where for most people, it’s hard to find ranges that support 800-1200yd steel TGT opportunities.

That’s all talking target. For hunting, a lot of people want either a simple hunting scope, or a dual-use TGT/hunting scope. That’s where we get into which turrets you want capped, weight, bulk, etc. Those Vortex Viper PSTs and HSTs would be great for that, if you could get capped windage and locking elevation.

I would be shooting the Burris 1.5-6x42 all the time if it had a good tree reticle in it. It’s really light, great FOV, clear, solid little scope, handicapped by the reticle they put in it. Would be fine on a 5.56 though.

I hate to break it to you and your love of Trump

BUT you are deceived and are propagandized.

It has been proven that the "tariffs" numbers actually have little to nothing to do with actual real "tariffs" charged by other countries.

Instead it has been proven (and even admitted to by the brain trust Trump is all listening to) that actually they are putting tariffs on countries based on us buying more from them than they buy from us.

You are being essentially lied to.

You are being told "it's because they tariff us" when in actuality it's because they didn't buy enough stuff from us and Trump has some stupid idea that you can have a zero sum trade balance. (Maybe other countries should just start tariffing Microsoft, IBM, google (just claim their islands ownership hack is invalid and they are what they always were, a USA corporation), Meta and Oracle and see how fast Trump and his team get the message).

Click to expand...

Exactly the tariff list seems to be based on trade imbalances with said countries and has little to nothing to do with countries tarrifing US products , with some exemptions like China.

While yes these tariffs are meant to pressure onshoring first and foremost US companies that offshored and maybe automakers that are already making cars in US, but frankly aside from higer added value stuff you do not realy want to onshore cheap shit , toxic stuff , manual labor intensive shit, that for example Vietnam makes due to having massively cheaper workforce and even laxer regulations than china. Its not like Amish want to pay for clothes and shoes made in US .

Some of these trade imbalances are also quite phoney , like for example Ireland is some massive exporter to US , but really its just US corporations Microsoft, Google ,Meta using Ireland like Tax haven inside EU to cycle profits on service back to US, Ireland is kinda European Delaware for the tech giants. But its like TikTok has to have a US incorporated entity similar way EU requires EU incorporated branches for complianc eand shit.

Sure there are trade barriers like for US farm products , but much of that has to do with GMOs that are not permited in EU food , or peroxide bathed meat and poultry doped up on antibiotics and growth hormones , banned in EU ,this is actualy what Kennedy is trying to change to bring Food standards higher, but Trump always forced this shit to be accepted by other markets.

Similary with autoindustry ,most of US manufacturers do no manufacture EU compliant cars in US, Biggest US exporter to EU is Tesla shipping out of China and tarrifed as Chinese made car .


I expect most of these tarrifs will be shortlived , never come into effect or end up watered down massively by exemptions for minimal consesions, seriously what can 90% tariffs Vietnam offer ? transfer a sweat shop or two to Oklahoma to shorten the Amish supply chain for Kanye swastika shirts?


Tariffs table is absolute BS and someone made it with AI or something as it lists non populated islands as tarif targets due to unfair tariffs probably imposed by local Penguins


They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

How about DOD sending all the 6.8 barrels back and swapping in 18" 6.5 Creedmoor barrels. 120 gr BTHP with standard loading may hit 2750 fps easily. Good energy out to 800m + . Without a suppressor it's roughly the same length and probably lighter.
Done.

From everything I’ve seen, I think the baseline design of the system is flawed. You can tell they tried to get away from an AR-10 as much as possible, by delivering an external piston AR-10 with crappy folding stock and wonky handguard attachment method.

The cartridge requirements were handed to the contenders, so the problems with it are built into the system.

Had they just chambered SR-25s or M110s for it, they wouldn’t have any of the accuracy problems, provided they sourced decent barrels. Not saying that’s even anything we should be looking at, just that it would solve accuracy/precision.

Hk would have done a much better job in that space as well. They have dialed-in their ability to at least make a 1.5 MOA or better large frame with the 417 and M110A1 SASS.

Ok, sparked by this post by @Old Man with Gun: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/atlas-pod-lock-wont.7115939/post-10103830 I began a quest to find a carbon fiber drag washer for my CAL v2 bipod. Drag, as for fishing reels, not for drag shows. Anyway, I found one, which amazingly...

No I do understand that. I have more problems with loosening it than I do with it not locking up really tight. Even if I only tighten it seemingly a little, it's still difficult to loosen when I need. I have read that other article and I may give that a try as well.

I guess some of you have never had the unfortunate experience of your credit cards being disabled for fraud (either legitimately or not) while you were a long way away from home.

CASH FUCKING RULES! Everything else has the potential to suck donkey dicks and leave you stranded totally outside your control.

search the internet for stories of people who had one credit card or one debit card that got fraud disabled while there were 1000's of miles from home.

What happened to me one time was 2 credit cards got disabled buying $80 worth of groceries 600 miles from home. Fuck credit card companies. Also cannot count the number of times I have been somewhere and wanted to buy something and was told sorry our credit card machine is down right now...

When road tripping, I always make sure have a fuel emergency fund available on hand in cash. Wherever the furthest place i'm planning to go, I calculate how much fuel i'll need to get back, and ensure I have enough cash to do so just in case. It's far easier to deal with bullshit from home, than on the road.
