    The Greatest Archaeological and Technological Discovery of Mankind

    I’ve studied the pyramids around the world since I was a kid, have climbed many of them in the American hemisphere, had tons of books on them since the 1980s, and was always intrigued by them. I have leaned more towards the power generation model theory, as the burial chamber theories are...

    4 Facts that De-bunk the Trump-Russia Narrative

    The Dems, Marxists, and Never-Trumpers are on this boat claiming Trump is doing Putin’s bidding. It’s almost hilarious when you consider these brutal harsh facts about Trump’s actual conduct towards Putin and Russia: 1. Trump unleashing of US energy dominance and cheap pricing to fuel the US...

    Surefire ICAR

    Basically like an LWRCi Six8 receiver set with some more features, ambi controls, fed with new 6mm ARC/6.5 Grendel/338 ARC PMAGs. The receivers on these are larger in the magazine well area in both width and length, but still AR-15 sized overall in form factor for the carbine. This will...

    7 IVPOs compared out to 600yds

    You get to see some great examples of how reticles, parallax, Side Focus, and glass clarity come into play in this video. It’s an extension of his other video that compared 36 different scopes. He calls them IPVOs. Notice how some thick lines get in the way when using the tree for drop.

    16” .308 vs 16” 6.5CM Duel out to 1250yds

    This is one of the few younger gun tubers that is worth watching. Anything he talks about, he explores with actual field-testing to answer questions he had before filming. In this one, he takes 2x 16” SR-25s out to 560, 630, 830, and 1250yds sequentially for a legit side-by-side real-world...

    Guess this famous person

    He was a hard right Republican Congressman from Florida many years ago. He drafted, co-sponsored, and championed legislation in the House to get the US out of the UN, shut down the Dept of Education/Commerce/Housing & Urban Development, signed Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America, and pushed...

    How many Gen X are counting on Social Security?

    Given inflation what it is and modest forecasts for the foreseeable future for Gen X retirement, how many of us are truly thinking, “My Social Security will be an important component in my retirement income." I don’t know about anyone else, but I can’t refrain from chucking at the prospect...

    Trump is talking about abolishing the IRS, getting rid of income taxes, and looking more at tariffs, while reducing the size of the Federal government and its largesse. He also is committed to getting rid of taxes on tips.

    10yr Review of 17.6” Lilja 6.5 Grendel

    I just realized it has been 10 years since I put together the 17.6” Lilja from the first forum group buy. It’s a unique Wasp contour barrel that is really lightweight, but has been repeatedly-accurate and quite precise for such a light AR-15. It has also been boringly-reliable after many range...

    2024 Updated List on Billet Receiver Set Manufacturers

    I noticed that some of my favorites have been bought up and are no longer available, so I thought it might be helpful to start a thread about the current companies making nice billet sets. I’ll just start it off and update it as people chime in so it might be of help to newcomers and old hands...

    Options for Razor 1-10 Gen III Flip Covers and Accessories

    I’m just wondering what FDE options are out there for flip caps and any other useful accessories folks are using. I’ve had mine in the box unmounted for years now, finally decided to install it on my 18” LaRue Grendel. I had some 34mm LT rings Cerakoted FDE years ago, so I used those to...

    Suppressors Ultra 5 on 12" 6.5 Grendel, Initial Results

    I finally got my Ultra 5 after a 10 month wait. Main reason I got it was after personally witnessing several Ultra 5s on 20" and 24" 6.5 Grendel AR15s, which is a wicked-quiet combo. Ray and Bill Alexander noticed that the Ultras in 6.5mm might be too efficient at suppression for the AR15 and...

    12" 6.5 Grendel Suppressed, 6-year Update

    I started this project in 2017. Wasn't in a particular rush, as we waited for the group buy barrels to fill and be made. I've had some opportunities to shoot it at one of my Long Range courses and some local chronograph work. My Form 4 cleared while I was at Scout Camp, so it was nice to come...

    DIY Chest Rigs with Integrated Hydration

    I've been making my own gear since the 1980s, always looking at new ways to solve a lot of the problems I had with the old LC-1, LCS-88 LBV, Land Warrior MOLLE 1 & 2, and started making my own MOLLE kit before it was generally issued. A buddy of mine asked for a simple little Micro Rig for him...

    Day out Shooting with CFE223, 123gr A-MAX, 107gr SMK 16" Grendel

    I've had some batches of safety ladders worked up using CFE to get an idea of where my carbine stands with regard to velocity and consistency with Hodgdon's CFE223. 123gr A-MAX First I had a suspicion that Hornady's data in the 9th Edition for 120-123gr pills could be based on the least common...
