    AutoTrickler V4

    As much as I love competition, I'm not taking a $150 risk, this should be a no-fee reservation, especially with the current situation at hand. I am generally not a fan of the kickstarter model.

    Preferred penetrating lubricant?

    That sounds like a great idea. Also, we should move to something other than flats on nuts like these. There's got to be some high-torque e-torx like option. Finally, hahaha, I feel badly for someone who encounters a nitrided nut that somehow welds. Talk about a surprise when you start trying to...

    Preferred penetrating lubricant?

    Sure, threads are threads, but trying to tear off a barrel nut with 125ft/lb+ of torque, without destroying it, is a lot more challenging (at least on the puny little barrel nuts I've seen in the past). Maybe they're making the nuts a lot more beefy now - I haven't seen one (personally) in a...

    AutoTrickler V4

    Yes, to include an email. It's official. That's what we're referring to. Since that partnership ended, there's no reason (if it makes sense financially) that Area419 can't make aftermarket parts for the Autotrickler, now.

    AutoTrickler V4

    No. Maybe with the other product news, 419 will come out with updated parts for the v4. I just want a new base with built in stop in the correct location, and perhaps replacements for the plastic bits such as the funnel. The little plastic bit to stop the cup that comes with the v4 seems like a...

    Hawkins Precision Long Action Hunter DBM and Flush Magazine

    Goes to show the action matters - with the AntiX I had, the MDT magazine feedlips were too short, causing me all kinds of problems with the rounds popping up and bouncing off the top of the receiver before the nose was in the chamber far enough to feed without wedging at an angle. Accurate AICS...

    What problems did you have and with what action/mag cut? I'm looking at these right now...

    Manners Composite Stocks- New for 2021-New Products and Announcements!

    Anybody have the weight of one of the LRHs in SA with the MCS-M5 mini-chassis? For that matter, is the MCS-M5 hidden somewhere on the Manners site? I found it here: https://mannersstocks.com/services/services-pricing/ but not a product page with weight. I know the MCS-BDL is 6.5oz, so I’m...

    Defiance Ruckus

    That looks great! Is that with the Guardian (AW/AICS) cut? Mind taking a picture of the feed ramp from top/bottom?

    Hawkins Precision Long Action Hunter DBM and Flush Magazine

    That’s awesome news! I can’t wait for specifications/details on the mag lengths. Hopefully these magazines will support the various cartridges such as SAUMs/PRCs/etc.

    AW magazine with SAUM style cases?

    It'd be great if you'd start another thread for the slap-fight. I'm sure this one will be more helpful for those in the future without it. :)

    My unexpected Christmas Eve surprise...

    @Defiance Machine is definitely awesome. Everyone over there has been an absolute pleasure to interact with. I'm sure that'll be a great rifle once you get it fully optioned out and put some rounds downrange!

    WTF barrel worms?

    What, exactly, are you using as products in your rifle(s)? Walk us through a cleaning, don't leave out any details. Walk us through the lubrication process you use. How are you storing them? What's the humidity where you store them (you can buy cheap temperature/humidity sensors that can be left...

    AW magazine with SAUM style cases?

    Thanks for all of the suggestions folks, it seems pretty clear that AICS binderless is the way to go.

    AW magazine with SAUM style cases?

    I had issues with the MDT magazines since their followers are full length and the feed lips are shorter than the accurate magazines.

    AW magazine with SAUM style cases?

    I'm pretty committed to magazines at this point (MDT HNT26 plus the Defiance actions will have the guardian cut). Looks like Accurate AICS binderless magazines it is. The few I have measure 2.970" and I think with the 7SS the lands are at 2.920" COAL with a 180H, so that should be plenty of...

    AW magazine with SAUM style cases?

    Copy that. I’ve got plenty of those on hand. Just thought I’d see if there was a shorter option with the AW, and sounds like there isn’t. Now here’s to hoping Accurate comes out with one of the hybrid style that are a bit shorter, but have the appropriate length feedlips and follower like the...

    Zero Compromise Optic 2022 and beyond Poll

    A lightweight version of the 420 and 527 would be great. I think the poll shouldn't necessarily say lightweight _hunting_ scope, as (at least in my case) many rifles are used for more than just hunting. The existing reticles are fine to hunt with for me; I just would prefer some weight...

    Rifle Scopes New Razor????

    The pot calling the kettle black. ;) Trust me, it's equally annoying to see keyboard warriors defending a product they have no stake in. I think we can all agree black isn't the best color for desert warfare. I don't think that someone's desire for a color has to be relegated to the best color...
