I had a plan. It was to spend *all day* at the range. That turned into having to work a little, but got there for 10:45. Plenty of time. Getting all this stuff out, targets set up, etc was 45 minutes. Then I got a call from work that we got in a rush order that I had to deal with at 3PM. Cue beating head against concrete.

I was able to get the bare minimum I wanted to accomplished, which was to check out the 13.9" skinny and 14.5" .750 fluted guns, verify function, and swap my NOX over from a 12.5" to the Battle Arms build.

I don't think I was shooting my best today. I got some 1" groups, but I had more called flyers than typical. I plan to get back out there sooner than later with my sons and some more time, and hopefully we can identify the practical accuracy potential for the Craddock barrels when sampling some different ammo. For today's abbreviated trip, I was satisfied.

All guns were 6.5 Grendels barreled by Craddock - two .750 18's, two .750 14.5's, and two .625" 13.9's.

My plan was to use my 20X reference scope on all rifles, and then to see what ammo preference they had, and best possible 5 shot groups.

What actually happened was I verified function on the 14.5" - the 18's and 13.9s had both been shot a little prior too.

A long long long long time ago, before the wind, before the snow - Battle Arms Development gave me a store credit due to a couple things having some QC issues. I documented them, and the CEO of the company ultimately got involved and gave me the credit. I used it for a BAD matched ultralight receiver set and their proprietary charging handle, the RACK if I recall.

As seen, the dry Battle Arms build is 5 lb 6 oz. I think I could hit 5 lbs even but I used a JP Silent captured spring (2 oz heavier) , the 14.5" .750 fluted bbl vs .625 13.9" (~3.5 oz heavier}, USGI charging handle would be lighter, and a full mass BCG. I wanted the gun to be light but not at the cost of strength/functionally. I don't feel like there are any short cuts that compromise utility. With an optic, can, heavy but effective mirage cover and loaded she is 8.5 lbs. If I recall, the weight savings using the BAD receiver set is 6-7 oz and the Smoke Composites across the three components is another 6-7 oz.

The gun ran 100% and I think all accuracy was indian, not arrow. Will get back out there to figure that out asap.

SIdebar, the Geisssele magazines solve all feeding issues. 100% reliable across all 6 guns.

If I change the bolt stop and magazine to a 270 length or long, will it still feed? ie longer seated bullets. Has anyone done this change?

Good afternoon folks,

I know a bunch of you have super nice cars.

What are you using for "wax"?
Are the ceramic coatings worth the money?
Is there a ceramic product folks would suggest?

I will post pics of the car when it gets here. Fwiw, it's maroon, so a darker color.

$LOL @NoaWilli

Charlie B from Gonzales wants to say hello, considering IHMSA pretty much self destructed and the website gets about as much activity as a website dedicated to building sod roofs.

I just pulled the following out of thin air, in a text, to a competitive pistol shooting friend. No joke.




Did you hear that they have redesignated the military sidearm formally know as the

"Colt 1911A1"

Government model pistol... & accordingly, it's classic chambering:

45 ACP
(A.utomatic C.olt
P.istol) cartridge?

Yep.

It's the first weapon in the history of the US DOD weapons arsenal to receive a human'like military service medal of sorts, after (both sidearm and cartridge) has served faithfully for over 100+ years in both military war time & peace, law enforcement, competitive pistol shooting in all conceivable forms & loved as well as relied upon by millions of Americans for personal defense... & last but not least, countless recreational shooters, world wide.???

Yep-

The pistol is now redesignated/ called the:

"19'AARP"

and the cartridge, is now the:

" .45 ASSDEPO. "

ASSDEPO being the official acronym that stands for:

Automatic
Soc. Sec.
Dissability
Entitlment
Pay
Out

[after gran'pa caught your punk self in his shed at 0245 tryna steal his lawn mower; him accordingly following his 'drafted into 'Nam training protocol:

B.R.A.S.S,911.

For the uniformed, "BRASS" is the old school USMC shooting acronym:

B.reath

(while)R.elease(-ing)

A.im

S.queeze

S.hoot.

Let's have a round for such a faithful, long serving veteran of these United States, now formally & correctly honored & decorated!

Cheers!
