    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    I figured: “I wanna run the spiciest of the spicy in 120 degree heat, suppressed…and when shtf, the crappiest steel cased puff load in Arctic conditions unsuppressed”

    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    I assumed a different member who insists on over-gassing....but the tone and syntax is all wrong

    Which rifle for DMR class

    Your location and willingness to travel will probably also play into whats available. If money is no object, get up to Ridgeline in NH

    Which rifle for DMR class

    When some fucko gets an NRA class or 2 and is now an instructor...and feels that they can teach "beginners", this is what I think of. REAL, experience instructors can manage this kind of shit and see things BEFORE they unfold. Teaching the hot/sexy shit is cool and all because one has to...

    Which rifle for DMR class

    Had an entire Chinese family (mom, dad, 11yo son) of beginners show up to a Langdon advanced class with shinny new CZ comp guns. HOLY....FUCKING....SHIT. 10 years of teaching police cadets, and probably 30ish of various shooting classes/schools...never have I been more terrified to catch a...

    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    I think this is well put. Gassing changes the dynamic of how the system functions. Changes in the system or how the system functions has a ripple effect on other components in the system and create consequences. Ultimately, we have learned a lot but I don't think we're at the finish line...

    Which rifle for DMR class

    THIS. Had a dude at an offsite Ridgeline SPR class with his 6.5Grendel in pieces on the line trying to get it back up and running. Though I've never needed it; minimum I will attend with is a full secondary upper w/optic and spare parts like BCG, FCG. Fuck it, bring 'em ALL as long as...

    Which rifle for DMR class

    Been to a multitude of "DMR"/scoped carbine courses (closed and open enrollment). Host definition of DMR varies per their course curriculum. At least one could be run with as little as an EOTech/3x mag combo. Another pretty much stated you're going to want a Tremor reticle optic....and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig just can't get out of their own way

    Somewhere there's a man with a P320 in his Serpa (regularly shoots Win white box out of his 700 w/original Walker trigger) that thinks all of this is bullshit... 💥💥💥💥o_O

    What upper receivers are you guys using to get a good thermal fit?

    You reminded me of the dark days where Colt uppers were the safe bet but for some it wasn't just enough to build on a Colt upper... is it a "keyhole", "AF", "square", Diemaco, or whatever-the-fuck.

    Gunsmith for 1911 work?

    Not to get too nerdy, but if you want a barrel fit...it would help to know where you stand on what kind of fit standards you're up to. Marvel spec fitting? 1950's commercial standards (what pretty much all the semi-customs do)? Don't care?

    Secret Service Eyes New 6.5mm Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle (RFI)

    16.75". I was squeamish on cutting the 20" down. No cans because IL sucks and this was a personal toy. By the time I have enough glass and a decent stock (would probably do a PRS lite if it were today), 18-18.5" would've been just fine I didn't keep it long. Though in the spirit of this...
