    Pork Sword chassis by Black Collar Arms

    No SBR, just using this for a Light weight hunting or competition rig.

    Mammoth foot gear

    Essentially. Moleskin is too thick. Use Leuko tape to prevent blisters and hot spots.

    Mammoth foot gear

    Just tape over hotspots preventatively.

    Mammoth foot gear

    Merrell Moab Ventilators. Brought waterproof socks but didn't use this year. Injini socks, with some Smartwool as well. Leukotape P is worth its weight in gold. Lots of foot powder and changing between stages.

    Pork Sword chassis by Black Collar Arms

    Sounds great. That and ARCA capable forend would make this a sweet pack gun and lightweight comp gun.

    Are you looking at other inlets? I buy one in a heartbeat if it was cut for Tikkas.

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    I put mine directly against the Kifaru frame with a gun bearer on the butt, top held in by tucking behind top lid or other pouch. Kind of a pain to get in and out, but you don't notice it. Word of caution, I have worn down metal rifle parts on pack fabrics with alot of mileage. Wrapping with a...

    Gun friendly hotels in Vegas

    As much as I don't like it, leaving in the trunk in a well lit and monitored area is the best lately. I have been challenged on a big pelican (not a rifle case) and a friend had a hard case for golf clubs (full of guns) inspected. There are signs up everywhere now. Not sure if you can get in...

    Interesting comms solution...

    Talked to them about military meshes last year. They are not voice capable, (with their app) only text, small data packets and GPS updates. Think of it as a transforming your phone into a handheld BFT. I bought a pair of civilian ones for hunting. A mesh would work well for big matches outside...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    You are pretty far out from the event, but 1 a week is pretty good. I went heavier than race weight and did 2 4 mile/ 15 min pace rucks a week for the SAC, plus incrementally longer weekend hikes to 32 miles total. For Mammoth, where hikes are never that long, i would go 8 max, but at higher...

    M1161 growler

    They were overly complex and always broken down, not to mention grossly overpriced. Surplus HMMWV or MRZR would be a better bet.

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    More. The lid is 800cu, waterproof bag around 2000, fully expanded. Probably around 5000ish total. Around 45lbs. I reduced weight as much as possible in other areas. 3.5# tents, light clothes, etc. Kifaru is expensive, but quality costs in my opinion. I used anothere kifaru last year (MMR?)...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    My partner and I both carried Nomad 2's between the wings goes you rifle against the frame, then a waterproof bag with tent and sleeping bag. Both ran the top lid as well, mine traditional, his new style. No complaints from either of us and we did fine on rucks. The only change I would have made...

    Not Happy with MPA customer service... 14 month wait for folding stock, multiple emails, phone calls with no response. Update Pg 1

    Same experience. A friend also ordered one and after 4-5 months was told it wouldn't be for another 6 months for his inlet. He has written several poor reviews on Facebook, only to have them delete them. Ordered an XLR (it came exactly on time, 6 weeks) and am happier with it than with the MPA...

    Looking for feedback from Dillon owners (esp if you load precision rifle)

    -Multiple auto tricklers- I use RCBS x2. -Area 419 makes a good funnel. -Good lighting system to make sure everything is going as it should. You may think about the 650 vice 550 since the 550 cannot feed rifle brass. It would be much less handling for a bit more money.

    Non-Reciprocating Side-Charging Uppers

    I own a Gibbz I use on a 9mm AR- it is a good piece of gear and works well. Good quality and craftsmanship. It is a gen 2 (no latch) standard size handle. I am building a new AR10 and am contemplating their large frame latching model. JP is great, of course, but a bit much in comparison I believe.

    MPA Hybrid Chassis?

    Follow-up: Emailed early June as the last ETA had passed with no word and I was leaving for a match on the 14th. UPS delivered the stock on 6/14, after I had left (not MPA's fault entirely) I excitedly weighed the stock to verify it was the 2.9lbs they advertised. It weighs 4lb 5 oz. Not a big...

    Best Damn Gun Chassis

    Not my experience when weeks after advertised delivery goes by with no word on actual delivery date.

    Best Damn Gun Chassis

    Tikkas are all out of stock at all three sites.

    Best Damn Gun Chassis

    MPA is vaporware with "8-12" week lead times that are actually over 7 months. Plus crappy CS. FYI.
