    Opinion time, Some Market Research

    You referred to PRS/competition, which is where I tried to stay away from. Catering products to that specific sect, will not necessarily increase your brands visibility. PRS is but one small division of the shooting community. And there are as many shooters NOT in PRS, still in the market for...

    Opinion time, Some Market Research

    Certainly didn't have any "chip". But the discussion headed into extreme cants, and 35/36 mm tube optics. Maybe all the optics, in everyone's price range, are switching to those sizes. Here I was thinking that was just top dollar optics. I was also considering the AR type market. Lots of folks...

    Opinion time, Some Market Research

    I totally agree. I have used some one piece mounts before (I had 2 different AD Recon), but some things change, and those went down the road. But to your point, the interchangeability it affords is great. But if the mount doesn't come with all those extra doodads that some users are running...

    Good poke. But I'm not a Merc guy (it WOULD be an AMG if I were), and I can't sell my name 🤷‍♂️

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    There has been a few Mystic models done that I remember. 03 Cobra was 390hp stock, AND IRS. A first for Mustang. Although the drag racers immediately swapped to the 8.8 or 9". 2000 Cobra R is one of the rarest pony cars out there. Hand built, DOHC 5.4. Another first for the pony. And, if...

    Opinion time, Some Market Research

    Welp, this headed right where I thought it would. A mount that prices most shooters out of using it. I don't feel like I'm alone here, but I might be, and don't care if so. Some of the current mounts avaliable are already $300+, with nothing. I have yet to figure out the benefits that a...

    Suppressors Suppressor Warranty Experience?

    Send it to ECCO. He'll turn it in to a winner. Unless it's a warranty thing, of course

    Dead Air Nomad Ti Failure

    As long as the serialized portion is intact, a manufacturer can chop and reweld as much as they want. At such a large, equipped facility; COULD they do it and no one know, absolutely. But as referenced, HUGE no-no. And more than a dick slap if caught. They could also split the serialized...

    Who runs a chest rig? What do you use?

    I have a SADF Pattern 83. It was given to me, and it holds things. Can't complain. I've never used one of these new-fangled fancy ones; I blew that budget on plates/carrier. Definitely would like to try a different one. Glad I've tagged in so I'll see the reccomendations

    Dead Air Nomad Ti Failure

    I'm not saying it can't be done. But I'm not a metallurgical expert, nor do I weld Ti. I'm just a village idiot that reads a lot and sticks to Stainless Steel.

    Dead Air Nomad Ti Failure

    I think someone would have to be really skilled (or crazy) to weld Ti twice. Seems you could get it too hot, in a spot that's already been hot, effectively making it weaker

    Gunsmithing How to remove hydro dip?

    The guy has my 930 right now for a Cerakote job. I got anxious and rattle blasted it 🤷‍♂️ and he gave me some shit for it. It's like 4 layers of rattle can, actually 🤦‍♂️. He's going to sandblast the whole thing. What barrel? Mine is the shorter one with the breacher brake. Wish it was the...

    Vortex SPARC AR Red Dot Sight

    I bought 2, like 4 months ago, on the same promo. FDE ones were $105. I have one from many years ago, that has at least 1k 5.56, and 1k 6.5g under it, no malfunction.

    Gunsmithing How to remove hydro dip?

    I was surprised to see this thread bumped. I have a buddy that does hydrographics and Cerakote. If it was poorly applied, and/or no clear coat (we would use ceramic clear), aircraft stripper would probably eat it off; after a scuff up with something like scotch-brite. Otherwise, light...

    Girl fight one in in hospital

    Where I'm from; similar would be called a "curb stomp", and there's plenty of people either charged or sitting in jail for it. Yes, it's about walking away. But nothing I've seen yet, showed the girl pose a lethal threat to the larger girl, who also appeared to have a large entourage with her...

    308 AR10 Build Info/Picture Thread

    Bumping my old post, because I found this video on my phone, and uploaded it to YT. 12:00 wind was brutal. There's a plate at 525 that you can hear get smacked if you crank it. Can is the F1 I built for my 26" 300wm.

    My FL peeps, please come in

    That was my initial thought. Still didn't let my kids too close 🤷‍♂️. Figured I might have a shot with a little one. Lol. Doomsday type scenario, I know.

    My FL peeps, please come in

    So; I've been in FL (Kissimmee, Orange Lake resort, specifically), for a week and a half so far, on vacation. I'm a native Mainer, so I'm used to outdoor life and it's critters. Its been funny watching folks run from the trash pandas, that will climb in and out of the trash cans. Normal for...

    I don't mean to step on any toes here....... but

    Fucking B-I-N-G-O. It's people that would rather a comatose kid, than one they have to parent. It's fucking sickening what a lazy, thoughtless society, it's become
