I'm getting itchy feet, so it's time to start planning a road trip. I want to see Alaska. It will be nearly 7000 miles roundtrip by the time I factor in excursions. I'm aiming for September. With any luck, this tariff situation will have settled down by then and all they'll hate me for is being Califorian. I'm used to that. There will be several challenges I can foresee.

• My Akita, Shiloh will be coming with me. That means getting health certificates...etc.
• My Driver's license is up for renewal in September, so I need to get that done as early as possible because I'll need the new license with me.
• Carrying handguns across Canada ain't happening. Long guns might be possible, but it depends on a lot of "Things" I can't control. Best plan of action may be to just buy a Guide Gun or something similar at the first Alaskan town I reach. (Tok) It'll make a better souvenir than a t-shirt or coffee mug, am I right? On my return trip through Tok, I've already found a business that specializes in shipping guns back down to greater 48. In the meantime, I've already picked up a couple of big cans of bear spray.
• I think my F-250 will be my best vehicle for the trip. I've already spoke with a localized and tamed Snow Mexican who's made this trip before, and she assures me that diesel will be easy to find going thru Canada. Looking on the map, average distance between communities stays below 300 miles. That's well within the range of my fuel tank. I'll carry extra tanks just in case. I also don't plan to go pass any community without tanking up first.
• Being in Alaska on, or close to the Equinox will mean cold nights and maybe cold days. I can prepare for that. It will also mean less mosquitoes and a better chance of seeing Northern Lights.

Is there something else I should be planning for, doing or not doing? I've never been to Alaska before, and I'll be in some remote country with just my dog for backup.

I don't plan on hunting or fishing on this trip. But whatever I learn on this trip may well lead to a focused hunting/fishing trip in the future.

Any tips, cautions or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Bought a new carry gun thought I would give my thoughts. Shadow systems cr920 9mm. Full disclosure I’m a shadow systems fanboy of sorts, I already had the mr918 and the dr920, and they are my two favorite handguns.

Until today I had been carrying the p365 which is a great gun but I changed for mainly one reason. I love the trigger on the p365(as I do the trigger on the p320), in my humble opinion one of the best triggers that comes with a factory gun but it’s more sensitive than I want for a gun that spends all of its time pointed at my leg or junk, so by personal preference I like glocks(or Glock like) firearms for carry and Sig products for accuracy or score.

So I had been hoping for Glock to release a 43 with decent capacity. The cr920 had a rough launch, there were numerous videos of the gun failing miserably so I decided against buying it. Reviews started to improve so early last week I called Shadow Systems. The tech was honest, yes the Initial run had issues but not design issues but part production issues that were resolved, and anything past the initial run should be 5 by 5, if not they will fix it, just told me to give it 200 rounds first.

Got the gun yesterday went to the range this morning. First impressions the gun looks just like it’s larger cousins, and resembles a Glock with rounded edges, more aggressive stippling, and a grip more like a M&p than like a Glock. It’s the same size as a Glock 43, just a hair smaller in height and width than the p365, slightly smaller than the hellcat, and noticeably smaller than the shield plus(Height and width wise).

The cr920 doesn’t have back straps like the mr or dr series, looking inside the magwell I could be wrong but I believe it’s to accommodate the additional capacity. It holds 10 rounds with a flush magazine vs 6 for the 43, and 13 with the extended mag vs 10 for the 43x. The gun comes with the sites I prefer blacked out rear and yellow night sight front. The sights for me are a combat sight picture with the dot covering the center of the target.

To the range. I took 5 kinds of ammo, Federal hst 124, Winchester nato 124, Winchester white box 115, igman 124, and the worst ammo I’ve got drz Turkish 115 grain with primers which may be made out of a mix of brass and rock. First 4 rounds failures, all failed to go into battery with Winchester Nato, and I thought why did I do this. Then as suddenly as it failed it became flawless. 46 Winchester Nato without a issue. 50 rounds Winchester white box ran perfectly. 50 rounds igman ran perfectly. 50 rounds of drz ran perfectly and those are really underpowered rounds, 50 rounds federal hst perfectly. With the last five rounds of each set I tried to get the gun to fail, shot one handed off hand, half limp wristed others and it still ran.

Trigger: feels like a Glock trigger with more of a defined wall and reset, a decent amount of take up squish, wall then crisp break at about 5.5 pounds. The trigger seemed to work its way in well, round 250 was smoother than round 1.

The only negative I can really say is like allot of higher capacity micro nine’s I’ve tried the slide is tight, and manipulating the slide once my hands started to sweat would have been difficult if I didn’t use my hand over the top of the slide braced against the rear sight(which I normally do anyway).

Accuracy: the trigger doesn’t do accuracy any favors but that’s the trade off I was willing to accept. The barrel is accurate more so to me than a stock Glock barrel, actually considerably more than a gen 4 barrel, and slightly better than a gen 5 barrel.

Lightly used. Only had out to the range once. Just abandoning the project for other builds. Comes with the wrench for the hand guard.

Hi all,

After my first and mostly successful foray into custom bolt actions with my 338 Lapua Improved build, it's time to start the next one. I have decided to build a 510 Whisper bolt action. I was wondering if anybody could help with some questions regarding parts selection for this build. So far, I have purchased the action, which is a Remington 700 footprint Long Action that supports 4.050" magazines.

• Will 510 Whisper cartridges fit in a 338 Lapua Magnum AICS magazine? For my 338 Lapua Improved build, Fritz at Black Canyon Customs machined out the shoulder guides of my MDT 3.850" AICS magazines and I am curious if I would have to have something similar done for these to fit, if at all.
  • Is there any point to using 4.050" magazines that have a max COAL of 3.970"? I see that the 750 AMAX load on SSK's load data has a COAL of 3.620" and a standard CIP AICS magazine allows 3.740". It's always nice to have some extra room to work with, but if it is going to make everything else a pain, I won't bother.
• Are there any chassis-style stocks (like the MDT ACC Elite or MPA BA etc) that accept 4.050" AICS magazines? I have not been able to find any.
  • If no chassis style stocks would work, what stock would you recommend? I would prefer to keep it at or less than $700 if at all possible.
• What length barrel would you recommend? I am happy to SBR the action and go with a short barrel. I was looking at the SSK load data and they are using an 18" barrel. I think this is a bit long for my needs, as I was planning on developing my loads with Vihtavuori N110 and it is a very fast burning powder.
• What twist rate would you recommend for a 510 Whisper? I see that Maker Bullets offers a 1000gr 50 BMG Subsonic REX and a 900gr 510 Whisper Subsonic REX that both have a recommended twist rate of 1 in 10.

Thank you in advance!

Anyone know if savage has plans on releasing a 22 arc bolt gun? I emailed them weeks ago but no response. Right now only option is ruger until Howa gets their shit together

I have the 4 port LMT brake with xeno mount. I was noticing that the end of the brake was shiny and the first baffle in my scythe ti was also. Investigated it and realized that it was not able to fully seat on the taper. I can either cut the brake down to a 3 port( i wouldn't think this would have any effect on accuracy) or they sell a single port, don't really want a single, but may have to.

Starting a clone build off of Centurion Mk11 Upper/Barrel kits, now I just need the rails to decide what I'll do (K1 or K3)

I walked away from one hell of a deal yesterday. LGS had an LMT .308 with a Vortex Viper Scope stabbed in a Warne Mount for sale for $1995.00. I am a regular customer so they offered it to me for $1800.00 plus tax OTD. Salesman told me I could make a counter offer to the boss. I could even use a credit card with no additional fee. I did some quick math in my pea brained noggin. Let's see, rifle about $2800.00, plus mount $125.00, and around $1100.00 for the scope. That's $4025.00 on the low side retail price new. Hmmm...so what's the deal with the rifle?

Guy bought the rifle then got into financial trouble. Traded the rifle to a guy for some work performed. Guy that did the work traded it in on a bow and some arrows. Less than 100 rounds through the rifle. Looks good as new. More pondering and thinking. OK I know the manager...I can probably get the rifle for $1700.00 no problem. Heck of it is, I don't really want the damn thing and I am unsure how hard it would be to flip for profit. Did I screw up?
