    Ukie's using drones to fight the Ruskies

    I guess they're finally copying what the Russians have been doing for some time.

    Gunsmithing Point Anvil Tipped Micrometers for Measuring Bore Slugs?

    Thanks! I wanted to get two sets of mikes for under a grand. I was given an excellent quote on a set of higher resolution Mitutoyos, so I was planning to set up the high res set in a fixture and have a second set that I can float around. Thanks! I never knew they made those in rubber. I wonder...

    Gunsmithing Point Anvil Tipped Micrometers for Measuring Bore Slugs?

    Not sure if this is the right section to post this, but I need to buy a new set of mics that I plan to use exclusively for measuring bore slugs / bore casts and ammo. I've had some issues with my old flat tipped mics, so I'm thinking chisel tipped or pointed tipped (15 or 30 deg) would be a good...

    Be good goy, throw guns in ocean!

    Is that dude being facetious or what?

    Another high altitude object shot down over Alaska.

    I'm fairly certain there's no WaWa's in Arizona. There's over a dozen HBALs in the air at any given point in time that run persistent ground surveillance systems (PGSS). Those balloons wete developed by Google's Project Loon and Raven Industries (later militarized) for domestic surveillance.

    Ohio Disaster

    My friend the chemistry / biochem expert tells me the dangers from the toxic gases are mostly around the Chlorine (phosgene, vinyl chloride) compounds. Supplements to help would be those taking on free radicals: Glutathione, NAC, Vitamin E, Vitamin C.

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs. ZCO 4-20?

    Just wanted to do a quick follow up and say HOT DAMN this 4-20 is nice!!! I haven't had much free time since I got it, but it's undoubtedly exceeding my expectations on clarity, FOV, and resolution at long range. The operation of each mechanical mechanism feels above and beyond most of the...

    Boat Tail Angle

    Might be interesting encased in a sabot. Otherwise it would be difficult to get them to obturate in the bore and I'd have no doubts that velocity would be terrible compared to other BT bases.

    LOL!!!! I'm sending that to about 100 people I know 🤣👍

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs. ZCO 4-20?

    That's the perfect way to sum up the 4-32! I mean this in the most respectful way, but the 4-32 is kind of like a minimum viable product of sorts that just barely checks all of the boxes that it needs to without excelling in any one single category. The poors might not get this analogy, but it's...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs. ZCO 4-20?

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of thick reticles or cluttered stadia lines, but one thing with the MIL-C reticle that has really tripped me up time and time again with my holdovers are those 1/2 length subtensions. It's great that they clear up real estate along the reticle, but every so often during PRS...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs. ZCO 4-20?

    YES!!! PDog hunting is probably the most addictive type of hunting that one can experience. Had lots of fun in eastern WA / Idaho hunting them with 17HMR and 22 Grendel! Yeah, in my case the ZCO will be more of a solution looking for a problem 🤣. The 4-32 is a fine optic and check most of the...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs. ZCO 4-20?

    Yep I broke 400 once during an NRL22 match shooting with my EXPS3-4/G33 😎 I've always liked Steiner as a company and their reticles look really well thought out too!

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs. ZCO 4-20?

    Yeah, my 4-32 can get sketchy above 24x when it's not like 12pm on a sunny day lol. I'm not going to say that it's useless at that power, but it also gets very hazy around 280 and beyond. I can usually see POIs in the dirt at that range, but I've never been able to make out impacts on splatter...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs. ZCO 4-20?

    I ran a 7-35 for a while in NRL22. It was tough finding close range targets, but more forgiving to shoot from the non-support side / non-dominant eye. The glass on that 7-35 was abnormally good for a 7-35. I have no idea why that was, I had the T3 version and it just seemed brighter and...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs. ZCO 4-20?

    Wondering if anyone has had trigger time behind both optics and could provide any comparisons of the two? I've been running a 4-32 (MIL-C) in NRL22 for a while. I've looked though a 5-27 (MPCT3) and loved the larger sight picture. The weight and size does concern me a bit, but I'm thinking a...

    Socket set recommendations

    Yep. Taiwan steel / tools seem a lot more reliable. I have a couple sets of Proto combination wrenches (one set is ratcheting) and they're all extremely well made. Proto's sockets are decent, but their socket wrenches SUCK. I have a 3/8" set of Proto's Blackhawk deep sockets, and they've held...
