speeds?
I always wanted to play with pressure gauges to test rifle loads and watch how the pressure grows in various ways.
I’m envious.
Hi,
Tick Tock, lolol.....
Will post them as soon as we finalize testing how different firing pin diameters truly affect (If any consistent affect at all) MV and pressures.

Hi,
First look at the NV mount for the Hoplite Arms manufactured LARS chassis.

Make it mountable forward or backward facing. And anywhere along the forearm the user wants it (if you haven’t already done so). And you have a winner.
And, if you want to really get cute, make the hole spacing for the pic rail the same as MPA. Then the gray ops forward grip will fit on it.
So I’m going to assume those crater pics were a small firing pin in a big firing pin hole.
That’s certainly what it looks like.
Thumb-Rest / Thumb-Rail MPA Chassis
Purposes Enhanced grip/comfort for barricade style positional shooting Compatable with MPA BA Chassis 4 hole or older 6 hole NV bridge chassis Features Machined from 6061 Aluminum and Hardcoat Black Anodized Ergonomic comfortable cutouts Machined for perfect fit to blend into chassis contours...

They’re gonna have to change that chassis a bit to do that according to the pics.
Hi,
More than likely so end user can have more control of the NV/Thermal "connection" to the rifle scope.
Notice on the NV mount above that the rail extends more on one side than the other.
This is by design in order to allow a more perfect mating of the rifle scope to NV/Thermal.
So being able to flip the NV mount around helps facilitate that connection.

Hi,
But then you have like 14" of wasted space and weight because accessories only take up x amount of rail space themselves, so instead of having all that wasted space and weight; the NV mount just needs to be move-able in regards to where it mounts...being able to flip it around allows the end user to even more custom fit the mating.

Besides the nvg connection it serves 3 other minor purposes:
1: many use nvg rail as a hand hold. Being able to reverse it lets the longer end extend further back for user preference choices
2: occasionally you’ll find yourself in some sort of port or hole you only have room to rest the barrel in. For this reason, I prefer the nvg rail not to extend past the end of the forend as it can make the rifle “taller” further than it needs to be. This is a rare scenario.
3: unfortunately, aesthetics. While this doesn’t matter much for mil/le as they shoot what they are given, if you are doing civilian sales, aesthetics matter. We see it mentioned 100’s of times here on forum “I like xyz rifle, and it’s stupid to say, but damn it’s ugly.” Hobbyists have to like to look at what they are shooting. Something as simple as being able to reverse and nvg rail adds options.
Also, just from a procurement standpoint with LE agencies, the more “options” you have, the better it sounds. So with something as simple as making the same bolt pattern so it’s reversible, you have a super cheap way of adding and “option” to the list in your brochure.

Lol! Hey, it's only a yellow card. But good point, I'll pull it down in a few minutes, after I annoy the high density, older folks. ?
I've seen it all now... Mod self terminate, and mod flex. What's worse
ive seen that more and more,
guys putting their hand on top of the barrel
other than PRS or run and gun comps has anyone seen a difference in accuracy
everyone wants a free floating barrel for obvious reasons but now we are hanging bags and putting pressure etc
or is that shooting off a ladder "your" not that accurate anyway so the extra "groups size" wouldnt matter
I don’t really see much of a difference in accuracy as far as hitting 2moa plates or bigger. I’m sure group size on paper would be affected similarly as a tuner would affect barrel harmonics.
I just prefer a fairly ergonomic and not hot AF (even just sitting out in direct sun can make a barrel warm enough not to be comfortable) surface to hold.
As far as accuracy, it’s going to be extremely rare or non existent someone is taking a shot that needs to be extremely precise from a position where they would need to place their hand on the barrel or rail. So, IMO, it’s not so much for the accuracy/precision as it is for comfort. I’d argue that anyone who cries about accuracy with their hand on the barrel isn’t complete knowledgeable or doesn’t use their rifle in a practical manner.
thanks..
figured as much, there are always position vs needed accuracy limitations
PS, i think your PM in box isnt working because there is a message in there from when Bush Sr was president...just sayin'

For the people that get stoked when they are banging the crap out of a 12" plate at 300 yards.
Is that like "kinda in shape"? But from a pessimistic view? ?
Not grossly obese.
I have to hike into a spot tomorrow to fix a target and I’m not looking forward to it.
10 years ago it would be easy peasy.

looks kind of heavy not sure if this crew wants to carry it
sold my AR-50 years ago because it was just a pain in the ass...rifle heavy, ammo heavy, ammo box heavy, forever to clean lol
but after getting a SA i might need to get a boomer again

Hi,
The chassis has locations at 3 and 9 that should be easier to reach for most people.
