    American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans

    If you have Amazon Prime Video they have a documentary about the Garage 56 NASCAR entry into Le Mans in 2023, going through the development of the car, practice sessions, and race footage. I loved it, lots and lots of great footage, great V8 sounds, and a great display of American ingenuity...

    M40a3 ops prototype

    The conversion from the windowed S&B double turn turrets to the MTC turret was earlier than that, circa 2007 and was completed in 2008.

    Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

    I've shot AAC 77, Sig Match 77, Hornady 73 ELD, Hornady Black 75, Black Hill 77, legit Mk 262 Mod 1, Federal Gold Medal 77, and probably a couple that I'm forgetting. Through all of those IMI Razor Core is the closest I've shot to the Black Hills 77 / Mk 262 Mod 1, it's consistent, accurate...

    The AR15 Picture Thread

    It's only a sun shirt I got off of Amazon, it was cheap, like $15 or so. The hood has no structure to it other than my baseball cap underneath and the elbow pads are cheap slip on ones I got off of Amazon too. The pads are damn near too tight and the padding sucks. The shirt did its job...

    The AR15 Picture Thread

    Thanks, I was shooting an Appleseed AQT. The handguard was so freaking hot the glove almost wasn't enough.

    Gas Gun Groups Thread

    Something a little different, I shot an Appleseed AQT yesterday in the heat but I had to get the optic dialed in for 25 meters since the Vortex is normally zeroed for 100 yards. The below target was shot prone with a sling starting at the bottom right and going clockwise. Bottom right was...

    Best way to fix cracked bedding? (Model 70)

    I ran into that problem while I was modifying an AR-15 pistol grip. Drilling some small pockets into the plastic gave some space for the epoxy to flow into and bite creating a mechanical lock, resolving the issue.

    Zero distance applicability

    I'm just interested in the data of how far people are typically shooting their AR equipped with irons or a red dot. On an individual level that could be determined by shooter confidence, terrain, range or equipment limitations but I'm not interested in that particular information, only the...

    Zero distance applicability

    For clarification, I'm not interested in what zero I should use, or what any one uses, I'm not asking for advice on that. I'm only asking, with your iron sight or red dot equipped AR, how far are you, the person reading this, typically shooting on average when you shoot in your backyard, at...

    Zero distance applicability

    I could loop 2 gun competition into it but not like high power or QP/PRS/gas gun match shooting since it doesn't really apply to the question. Basically, you, your rifle, and a target, how far are you shooting typically when you're at the range, in the field, whatever. I see you but I'm not...

    Zero distance applicability

    For those of you shooting iron sights or red dots on your rifles, regardless of your zeroing scheme, how far are you typically shooting? Are 80% of your shots inside of 150 yards? Shorter distance than that? How often are targets 300 yds and beyond?
