I don't see any ads for some people, yet they act like their shit don't stink, they invented MARSOC/SEAL teams and won the WOD. Then again, the guy's a mod, so it makes complete sense.

"They" (not sure who they is) just gifted you that? If so that's just awesome. I am still kind of going 'wow' at the awesomeness that is going on here.

That's the RCBS media separator. It works well enough, and they only cost about $40-50 last time I looked.

Cool. Let us know how they shoot and sound.

I got 5 boxes of the Lehigh Defense Max Expanding ammo at a local shop here. The boxes were marked and stuck in a pile with other ammo of the same brand. $17 a box.

I've been thinking of picking some of these Hornady Sub X rounds and compare them side by side.

Ah yes. The limited release that was released again followed by Knight's ACTUAL back-pedalling saying they always intended to release more.

But nice pickup!

Ain't that the truth. At least I don't feel bad about shooting mine vs selling it.

I can give it a crack sometime this coming month. I'm headed out for a couple weeks for a business trip, but I'm trying to schedule a trip to the range in the last half of Sept. I'm trying to get the build is going on done in the next couple of days so that is ready to go when I get back in town.

They are increasingly rare. I recently sold one in a set for more than I paid recently. Probably because the uppers are hard to find. But the Rainier uppers have the same anodizing for a good match.

MI booty. Anyone know why the angled flat area near the front on right side of the receiver rod? Also curious if the S&W 5.45 upper is close enough to use the rod even if not a perfect tight fit.

I think the angled flat area allows the dust cover to close while the rod is inserted, in case you are installing the cover and want to test function.

The end of the rod is tapered so that it basically has a universal fit for barrel extensions that fit the AR15 upper receiver.

Looking forward to hearing how you like this rod. I have both of the Geissele rods, which I find extremely useful, but I feel like MI may have added a couple of improvements.

You nailed it. Uppers are really hard to find, I still have 2 Forged Uppers that I've never used, and all I see are people looking to buy uppers since Lowers were still somewhat available after they shut down the line.

You do.

You will break even quickly if your burning up that much a year

As average is 28-30 cents a round for new ammo, quick math from my notes is I built , Better ammo at a fraction of that

Factory ammo. .30 x 7k = $2,100 roughly
My reloads .15 cents x 7k = half that , and honestly buy in better, bigger bulk then I did you could make it cheaper.

So in that quick math you could have a good reloading start with that extra $1k

Ok...I’m done, carry on. [:D]

If you have the time for it, reloading can be worthwhile. It really makes sense if you're doing match ammo, as opposed to bulk, though. I was loading nosler 77s for about 32 cents a round, all in. 55gr range fodder was about 10 cents less. Between all the case prep and actual loading, though, it takes a lot of time. And this was with a dillon 650 and all the support equipment to streamline the process as much as possible. I got to the point where the time sink wasn't worth it; for what little free time I have in my life, I'd rather go to the range and shoot factory ammo, even if it costs more per round.

The precision rifle blog has a great post about this exact conundrum: http://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/04/01/the-cost-of-handloading-vs-match-ammo/

Like I said, though, if you have the time to do it, you can definitely save money and have better ammo. Some people simply like the process of reloading, too. There's nothing wrong with that. And reloading pistol ammo is quite a bit easier since you don't have all the case prep for bottle neck cartridges.

If you don't already have free time, I recommend you skip reloading. Using a single stage is really slow. Pistol ammo makes no sense at all on a single stage. The cost benefit is slim, since it's already cheap to begin with.

Can still build better than factory ammo for half the price.. Some see it some don’t, it’s whatever your in to. I see it as more ammo for less, more $$ for other things and just strait like building shit so it makes sense..slow rainy winter months are the time to geek out and crank em out.

I don’t shoot allot but I haven’t bought factory ammo in years even though I have many cans full of factory ammo..

16.5" Ultra Lightweight Fluted w/ threads. My Rugged Occulus should be getting out of jail in the next ~2 months, so needed to upgrade the factory barrel.

But I just realized the factory guide rod is crimped, so I just ordered a new bolt handle (also from Kidd), too, so I can use the new guide rod and spring kit.

I'm going back to 1911's and a M&P with a 1911 type thumb safety. Plus the Glock 19 and 23. The 19 fits in a holster for my CRYE vest, in a horizontal position. I choose the G19 because in a real life emergency, and broken gun, I could probably find Glock parts over anything else. The 1911 will be carried on my side, but the Glock can be fixed with very minor tools. Not trying to sound sick, but I could probably pick up a glock off of a dead man, much easier than any other firearm. 1911's require pretty much gunsmithing.

Decided to get serious this coming spring about a Kreiger barrel that I've had for several years now. Creedmoor Sports, Inc. had a good sale going over the Thanksgiving holiday, so I bought some heavy .223 rounds. They also had a decent price on 308, so some of that, too. SG Ammo also had a couple of deals on 5.56. And I just need to get some 10mm stocked up.

I'll admit it, I like Demolition Ranch videos, so I bought the hat. Misc other stuff - Glock 20 mags and Trijicon HD Night Sights for the new Timberwolf Large frame. Fortis Safety Selectors, a hydraulic buffer. Finally, a sweet Geissele rail from our friend DISCOM. It was a good Mail Call after being in the road the past 2 week! [emoji2]

Since moving to a non-firearm friendly european country last year, I've been lurking on the forum and no super active. Fortunately I've had more time to focus on other hobbies like watches, knives, and motorcycles. These came in the mail the other day and I thought they were to interesting not to share.

I recently was fortunate enough to be able to pick up a matching set of Bawidamann Acid Etched Blades. Andrew was cool enough to get these shipped in time for Christmas, so the Muninn is going to my Dad and I'll be adding the Huginn to my rotation.

Why did you order a knockoff?

Because I wanted to try it on one of my rimfires and it was half the price. When I say knockoff I'm not implying it was marketed or labeled Arisaka. It wasn't.

It's larger than the Arisaka but I think it will work well for this CMMG dedicated. I had a BCM KAG handstop on it but after I purchased a couple Arisaka fingerstops I preferred the method. Got a box of Magpul AFG, BCM VFG... on and on.. ya know how it is. ;)

I wasn't going to comment but now that you're posting comparison pictures, the company name, and pricing, I want it to be absolutely clear that tough tactical tools and crushunt (both selling the same thing on Amazon) are Chinese copies of our Finger Stop. At Arisaka we make all of our parts in the USA on our own machining centers, employing Americans.

If you want to save $10 by buying that crap, it's your money, and I am in no position to tell you how to spend it. It's very disappointing that you gave money to someone who is blatantly ripping off our Finger Stop, which is even being copied by some domestic companies like IWC.

A couple of comments from me.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Slippers a few times and never ever had a single issue nor problem. He's earned my business and whether he knows it or not I've sent him a bunch of customers over time.

Secondly, just in general I hate Chinese made crap. I spent money on Chineseum junk before that didn't last one range outing. I learned my lesson.

Thirdly, I try not to swear, but I HATE F*CKING THIEVES. That means people who steal stuff that other people worked hard for and paid their money for or if they copy a design from someone else, even if it means making some minor alteration, it's still the same thing as throwing a rock through someone's window and stealing. This is one of my hot button issues so I am trying to not rant here too much.

I was at the Canton Fair in China not long ago and I walked past a booth of people selling knives. Two of my friends are famous knife designers and manufacturers and low and behold I walked in and saw knock off versions sitting on the shelf there. I took down the knives, took business cards, snapped some photos, and proceeded to nearly get thrown completely out of the fair. I was just about to go snap that cheap Chinese blade off in some bitch's skull.

Needless to say I hate thieves.

There's a difference between not knowing when you buy something and posting a comparison photo of the real one and the copy together, though.

I've seen vets that violate trigger discipline and cover people when they swing their rifle around. I've seen people who are not remotely connected with public safety, never served, and didn't grow up with guns in their hands who were better shots. and more meticulously disciplined to train and hone skills that most of us. Among both groups there exists sub groups that are tuned in to brands and the known/perceived higher performance of better quality, higher priced parts and firearms. I've also seen people who put UTG optic mounts on KAC rifles (For a law enforcement organization!).

The conclusion that I've drawn is that this affliction we largely share is not prevalent, nor even common among firearms enthusiasts. YMMV.

Aaaand just like that, ammo envy has overtaken me.

I usually use magtech 123gr for plinking and keep my mags loaded with Barnes 110gr Vor-tx rounds for defense.

Just put up a thread where I'm thinking about suppressing, are those winchesters your preference for suppressed?

Jerry R
22 January 2019, 14:56
... are those winchesters your preference for suppressed?

Actually, my 300 is still unfired. I just finished it last weekend.

I've had fairly good luck with Winchester in the past in other platforms, so ...

I selected the Winchester 200 after looking at 220 and 190 subs; seemed like a good compromise and the same site had them. Funny stuff ... at checkout, their site said, "You can add 7 more pounds before the shipping goes up." [BD] So I threw in four boxes of the Winchester.

I know the 300 is supposed to be in its' element subsonic, but I don't plan on doing subs that much. The only other sub-sonic ammo I have used is the S&B rounds in the Sig 12" 308. Wanted to try something different this time.

I bought the Fiocchi 125 for thumpers, and the S&B 124 for plinking and sight-in. The Fiocchi has some good YouTube reviews showing accuracy and gelatin expansion in multiple barrel lengths. That's why I picked them. The S&B also had reasonable accuracy and at a good price.

We're doing a Spring Shoot again this year at GriffonSec's place, and I hope to get some good video. "Stay tuned, film at eleven." [:D]

That's the plan. I bought a Dead Air flash hider for my bolt action rifle so I don't have to swap from direct thread to QD on my Omega 300. However, the threading works fine with the direct thread mount and my cheap-o thread protector (A2 Birdcage), it will not work with any other ½"-28 muzzle device I own. I need to talk to the guy who threaded it. So that one may go on it since it actually threads on.
