The last thread got accidentally deleted while trying to clean-up some moron's inappropriate post. So, let's give this one a fighting chance:

- No naked crotch pics
- No Politics
- No religious stuff
- NO celebrity nudes, fake nudes, or uploaded nudes

If you're posting topless pics they need to be hot linked and hosted elsewhere. If you upload something that draws undue legal scrutiny to this site your post will be subject to removal and you can be banned from membership.

The Motivational Pic Thread is dead; Long Live the Motivational Pic Thread v2.0!!!

Do they have a new website? Went to window shop a little and it's totally different. Hard to navigate, and prices seem to shift (dynamic pricing?).

They can take your cash, just like that.

Fascinating, isn’t it?

The one - liner says it all…

…but you don’t even have to be charged with a crime for them to loot your cash.

Aight, listen up—y’all got a gender-confused lutefisk whisperer in the chat. Just fled Minnesota’s state motto (“Hold my beer… but only if you’re legally obligated”) to join y’all. Don’t worry, I’m not sellin’ snake oil, MLM viagra, or my ex’s hockey gear… unless you’re real into emotional baggage and expired Caribou Coffee coupons.

**Why I’m here?**
- To test if your $3K Vortex Razor can dig my Subaru out of a snowbank (-30°F or it’s weak).
- To teach y’all how ”ope, just gonna squeeze past ya” is the ultimate home-defense strategy.
- To finally answer: Can you larp in flannel?Spoiler: Only if your plate carrier holds casserole.

DISCLAIMER: Not a lawyer, just a ”DINK with a hyperfixation on ballistics” (thanks, ADHD!) Let’s argue about muzzle velocity like divorced uncles at Thanksgiving. If the comments get spicy, I have a ”duty to retreat” like a dad at a gender-reveal party. I’ll dip from arguments faster than a Flat Earther at a NASA convention. Y’all ain’t worth my parole officer’s time.

A staffer of Cory Booker, LEADING ENEMY of the Second Amendment, was arrested for carrying a firearm on Capital grounds. AFTER, he was led around security by none other than Cory Booker himself.

59 year old Kevin Bates, a former detective, now a driver for mr. Hooker, I mean booker, was arrested, after being informed that carrying a firearm on Capitol Grounds is not allowed even if the person being arrested is a former police officer or has a license (or permit) to carry a firearm in Washington DC or anywhere else.

Ok me but not for thee.

So.....what to do....what to do.
This POS is a frequent flier at the mug shot booth.

Been waiting on this for a few years. With all of their faults, I love their innovation and drive.

I got a impact 28” proof 8 twist barrel, 6xc Tub reamer Barrel that has between 900 and 1100 rounds on it. It still shoots awsome with 108 eldm and 39.2 Rl16.
207 pieces of brass that has has been fired 3-4 times and is in good condition. Will ship in the boxes in the picture.
The dies are what they are and still function great.
$450 for the whole deal.

Hello All,

Myself and a coworker are changing out our Colt 6920's into pistols or possibly the SBR route. I doubt very seriously I will ever run a suppressor, but he is saying he might eventually. He is leaning on me to help him as he has never built an AR or has much armorer experience. Not that I am an expert (hence me being here) but I have built a few and help maintain a few guns for folks. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. We are trying to make the lightest weight rifles possible. Budget friendly would be great, but I am aware sometimes you have to "pay to play".

I have picked out the BCM Lightweight Fluted 11.5" barrel for us. Should I lean him towards 12.5" if he is wanting to go suppressed at some point?

Also, does this BCM Barrel ever even come in stock? Because I am beginning to wonder... So what are some alternatives we should consider? Ballistic Advantage? Roscoe?

Ideally all we are trying to change is the barrel, the rail, and the stock. Keeping everything else for now as we move down the road. Speaking of rails. I was under the impression a barrel nut had to be used with the specific rail or the D ring. I am guessing this isn't always the case?

They won't be used for anything realistically outside of 100 yards. We are wanting these for "SHTF/Truck Gun's" to replace our longer rifle that's a burden to us getting in our of trucks an UTVS with.

We will be running red dots with maybe magnifiers.

I believe that's all the information I could give to everyone to try and get some insight. If I missed something please let me know.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well, I'd like to start a thread for people to post in-stock powder when they find it. It only works if people keep participating and everyone stays on topic. The last general reloading in-stock thread died, so I figured I'd start one for powder ONLY. Primers are typically out-of-stock within seconds, and projos are becoming easier to find.

Work has begun on the Elysium AK-47 as used by Matt Damon. Parts are arriving and I am beginning fabrication after a successful proof of concept for the digital round counter.

What I'm building.



Successful proof of concept for the digital round counter. A lot of fabrication before I decide on a final design, especially the placement of the counter. Possible placement on the side of the receiver or mounted on a 45 degree offset picatinny rail adapter.

Waited on ATV4, sold 2 RCBS chargemasters in 2022

Got ATV4 Spring 2022. Wait! I need a shim? It sits precariously atop the stock scale cover which was not made for weight atop it? the motors bind up over 90 degrees? F-this I'm selling and it (at a small loss) and getting this awesome supertrickler that's coming out!

SuperSpiller comes out. I become a beta-tester with a guy named AH. We test HUNDREDS of software iterations. There is no software fix for that stupid vibratory tube and its temperature sensitivity. I sell it, in anticipation of the Ingenuity Precision in FALL 2023.

The IP is delayed for YEARS! AH sells me an ATV2 (with V3 software) to get me by, 6 months AFTER the advertised IP release (summer 2024). What a primitive POS! I struggle along, awaiting the IP. I polish the trickler tube, I change the belts, I superglue loose parts....But it's never quite right, and the IP never comes....It's now early March, 2024....

So I buy ANOTHER V4, which I received today. Easy to set up. good instructions. Still sits atop like a house of cards. But an elegant machine with great software, and easy peasy bluetooth, and an intuitive App!

After all this frustration for almost 3 years, it is like ECSTASY dumping charges. It just WORKS! l'm in HEAVEN!!! (I fed it AR-COMP, easy test, no fat stick powders like H50BMG, RL50, or n570, to kill this buzz!)

But now I've dumped 100 charges, and I have to empty this fucking thing. Wait, what? OK, take off the hopper. Now what? unplug the fucking wire? WHAT? Shake it like a shank-n-bake chicken? What about these windows? These stupid fucking "windows" on the front and the rear? Oh my fuck, now there is powder all over every-fucking-where and I remember why I sold this POS almost 3 years ago!

But, TBH, this is the one I will keep. Maybe even after IP full system comes out...get another scale, run two of them for different powder morphologies....?

Are there any variation in the Remington 700 action? I have two Remington 700 SA barreled actions; they may have different triggers. One would drop into a 2013 AICS chassis, and the other would not, it seemed it got hanged up by the trigger area (it's hard to see). They both would drop right into the same HS Precision police stock. I don't want to start grinding the AICS chassis unless I am 100% sure. Any idea?

I’m currently reading (ok, listening to the audiobook of ) “sniper on the eastern Front” by Albrecht Wacker, highly recommend by the way. Does anyone know of any good books about a Russian sniper in Ww2 that are similar? I love how detailed Wacker is with his storytelling

Anyone that’s concerned with bore/barrel cleaning has read or read parts of the quite dynamic but turned a bit dumpster fire thread @Frank Green put out about abrasive product use for barrel cleaning. There’s been a couple other threads pop up lately in addition.

I get that Frank had a valid concern & appreciate his thoughts & advice on the matter. What I got from the thread is Frank didn’t have a control barrel by which to fully support the hypothesis that abrasive cleaners ruin barrels.

Back in 23’ I got a new Benchmark barrel and began cleaning from the start with Thorroclean. I cleaned after 5,20,50,100rnds and then every 100rnds thereafter. Throw in some end of season cleanings too.

The barrel has been cleaned with Thorroclean about 12-15 times in 1000-1200rnds. Dewey no harm oversized for caliber brushes. That takes out the carbon ring same time as the bore cleaning.

So, I wanted to experiment with a pristine new custom barrel, cleaned with standard process of barrel cleaning, not some weirdo with a drill.

Here is the before/new barrel groups, the first 15rnds fired, 3 five round groups out of the barrel:

10rnd group fired last week and after the 12-15 cleanings & 1000rnds with Thorroclean:

Same Data

I'm in the process of building my 6.5 Creedmoor and I have a few boxes of their 120gr AMAX factory loads, but once those are gone it to the table. I've seen a few loads on here, but they are spread out all over the place. Figured we need a spot for all of them to go. Bullets I'm interested in using are: 130/140 Berger VLD, 120/140 AMAX, 123/139 Scenars, 142 SMK, and 142 Matrix. Haven't decided powder yet, but mostly will go wth H4831sc or H4350.

Let’s Talk Bipods!

Im curious as to what Bipod styles and brands everyone is running on their rifle builds. I do a lot of deer hunting but have recently started getting more into the Rimfire NRL22 competitions and I am looking for a bipod that is a good all around option that gives you the best bang for your buck!

I have a love of funny memes, videos and photos. Let’s let this thread focus on the funny without the nudity if that’s OK.

Looking to sell an excellent condition 2800.com. I bought it new from Europtic in 2020, sat in a climate controlled storage unit with no battery installed for almost 3 years. Has seen minimal use. I can say though it’s a great rangefinder and works great when I had it paired with my Kestrel. $550 now $500 shipped and insured. Thanks!

Have a like new KRG bravo fully loaded with all sorts of goodies included. See attached photos. Will come with all the bags for the accessories as well. For a r700sa. Only selling because I got a foundation for my vudoo. Stock has been filled with bags of lead bb’s for weight/ balance. Can leave or remove, up to buyer.

700 shipped pp ff preferred.

How will the new tariffs affect ammo prices?

The two largest exporters of lead to the US are Canada (25% tariff) and China (10% tariff).
I bet the market for brass is quite similar.

I shoot Sierra and Nosler bullets in Europe so if there will be imposed tariffs between the US and EU I bet I will have to pay double price for US made bullets..

Looking to build a 408CT after I finish up my SBR. What is the preferred barrel twist? Single fed BAT EX action, marriage ulr chassis, likely a Kriger barrel, acc sol bipod.
