    Faxxon Barrels in CMP garand

    So a friend recently went to the Armorer's class and build his M1 - He said that some of the criterion barrels were difficult to time without tight torque(but still within tolerance). Faxxon stepped in and started making barrels for them. I thought that was interesting.

    Best ballistic calculator currently?

    Great data and reading... My microcontroller adventure continues, to wait for more parts - proper voltage power supply. "that directors really just make the whole stage a clusterfuck." - this made me laugh and why I will never be a stage director.

    Most excellent review Sir - thank you for the input. I'm moving forward with it as a base. In other news... I have some Adafruit Microcontrollers on the way and may be using them as an Ubuntu/NGINX web server to host HTML pages of Dope via Wifi when I get to the range - Thuper-Nerd-Thit...

    Reviving Zombie Thread - I still miss Strelock but... Has anyone tried the new Lapua Ballistic App? I skipped the email login but was still able to create basic cartridges and rifles etc. I would think that their ballistics is close to good. The main screen on the app has option for...

    Calling all poors, what is the most poorish shooting sports thing you've ever done?

    I totally dig your cheapp-ass chassis weight work around. I will post another ridiculous example that I copied from another user on here, but first here is my janky setup for powder drop and trickle I think you guys might like to see and make fun of (FF to 0:55) Today was a snowday = watching...

    Calling all poors, what is the most poorish shooting sports thing you've ever done?

    I'm digging the cheapness of this thread. Here is a video I made a while back about being a member of the 2A poorzlife. It features a cool pistol build and shitty camerawork. AYGG offer still stands (still have the tshirts). My daily is a 90s honda with faded paint. It's easily the worst car...

    I think it was the robot dance. I tried to make them laugh and they just watched and then drove away. No blinker when entering highway either.

    Calling all poors, what is the most poorish shooting sports thing you've ever done?

    Saw this and work - revivign a zombie thread. One of my life's mantras is "Almost as good for waaaaaaay cheaper" another is "old trucks and new guns" Melt 25 cent birdshot shells into 7/8 oz light load slugs Paper patch 308s to 311s to shoot in the Mosin with hand reloading kit (the kind where...

    Help me build a 6ARC rifle for a new sport - Bike-athalon

    I made a long aluminum flat front sight that went under the thread protector. It was about 2" long, I put a small divot in it to boresight it. It was way too short. On top of that the low profile rear sight was too low to get a cheekweld so so I trashed it and put a clip on Holosun for now. I...

    Help me build a 6ARC rifle for a new sport - Bike-athalon

    Cheap Lightweight upper has begun. I need a front sight that can thread on the end under the thread protector or some type of lightweight gasblock sight. I'm not really up on the old type A2 style site. I have a holosun green dot or a 16x scope I can put on it but I want some other low profile...

    Help me build a 6ARC rifle for a new sport - Bike-athalon

    yeah, you guys are right about the 243. I try to take scraps from other and polish them to turd status but that might not be the best route for this activity. But hold on.. a new entrant has appeared - I have asked them if I can get a 6ARC barrel we will see what they say...

    Rechamber question 243 Ackley to 6GT or something else?

    ahh yeah thx - twist rate looks different between the calibers and bullets. Plus to add to that ill twist-effect I would want to run a shorter barrel for weight reduction. I am now leaning to just building a lightweight AR upper.

    Rechamber question 243 Ackley to 6GT or something else?

    I was pondering a similar question. Can a gently used pawn shop .243 be rechambered to 6mmARC that I have dies for? If you have a lathe, it is just setting the barrel back and rechambering with a 6mmARC reamer?

    Help me build a 6ARC rifle for a new sport - Bike-athalon

    pls disregard std stereotypes for cyclist or bicyclist etc.. OK, so last year I started combining roadbiking and shooting into one event. This has always been a by myself 10mile 1 way run over the mountain across town to the bougie indoor range to shoot groups and then ride back again but I'm...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I put on my Mt. Dew mountbiking socks, poured up some XT (that's traditional Mt. Dew topped with Code Red or Voltage). Then I ordered a new barrel for my RAP that has like 5k +rounds down the tube. Then I put my IveyTron (Ivey base and Sightron 10-50 scope) from the 300PRC Pokemon Rifle to the...

    300 PRC update

    Got a decent group at 1250 with 32.5 MOA on the Ivey base. I made new dopecards, working on my dial base. I'm looking for a place to stretch it to a mile now - somewhere in TN/AL/GA. I think all the events/days in Blakely are filled. I found some 230 Bergers and may load them up. What bullet...

    300 PRC update

    I got back to the range with the Pokemon Rifle - After some sighters and practice it put down a 5" group at 1k. I thought about shooting 2 more shots but figured I might ruin it so I went and shot some CZ97s.
