You need a left handed, button cut rifled, 7R, counter clockwise, anti-coaxial self cleaning barrel from Northern ACME Iron and Toilet Works. They are the absolute bomb for lefties!

By Bryce M. Towsley This was back when Montana was still the Wild West, before all the California pussies screwed it up. We were hunting mule deer in the Missouri River Breaks and it was cold. Not just Montana-cold, but soul-killing, make-your-dick-crawl-up-inside-and-hide-cold. Our war surplus hospital tent covered a quarter-acre and the little horse packing stove couldn’t even melt the snow beside it. Our Coleman stove was on strike and after a week of eating potato chips and frozen Spaghetti-O’s we were sick of that poop. There had been talk for days about going to town for a shower and a hot meal. Finally somebody pulled the trigger and we loaded up the truck and made the two hour trek. The “town” turned out to be a bar and a tilting single-wide trailer that seemed to defy gravity. That’s where the mayor/bar owner lived. The pipes were frozen and the cold had gelled the stove’s gas. So no shower … and no meal. I was sitting there washing down stale microwave pizza with a surprisingly warm beer when I noticed a cold breeze on my face. I looked at the wall and the weak November sun was shining through nine holes from a perfect double-ought buckshot pattern through the west wall of the bar. The old woman tending bar was right out of central casting, all leather and lean, crusty and mean. “What’s up with that?” I asked her, nodding to the wall. “It’s all the damn drunks ‘round here,” she replied. “Oh, did one of them shoot your wall?” “Nope, I did that with this,” she said as she pulled a beat-up 870 pump from behind the bar. It had been seriously cut down on both ends, so it had a crude pistol grip and about a 12-inch barrel. Somehow I doubt she bothered with the NFA paperwork. “Did one of them try to rob you or something?” “Nope, them sons a bitches wouldn’t dare rob me.” “So, what then,” I asked, rising to the challenge. “They come in here and get roaring drunk and then they all want to fight with knives. I don’t much give a poop, except they bleed all over the floor and it gets to stinking if I don’t mop it up right away.” “This is my bar and I wanted them to understand they need to take that poop outside.” “You never fixed the wall,” I asked? “poop no, I just point my shotgun at the holes now and those assholes start behaving.”

Yup, 7.62X51 subsonic turns your 308 AR into a straight pull bolt action.

Welcome from WI. Even with the gas port and gas block perfectly alligned if the port is too small you will never get enough gas through the system to operate properly. "What is the gas port size" is always right up in the top two or three questions when troubleshooting these. Reputable manufacturers routinely muck up gas port sizes. You'll need to measure it. Numbered drill bits work great, standard drill bits will get in the ballpark. Once the gas block is removed just insert the non-drilling end into the port until you find one that fits. Your 3.8 oz buffer is too light and your gas tube is too short. Those two are for sure.

Yup. Go to choose option and its .223 or 300 BLK

Sidetracked is still better than a trainwreck.

Can we call this thread officially hijacked yet?

Naaaa, thats a visual image! The mental image is what it would be like and how it would feel getting all slippery slidey with her! 😛

As Doc said, wipe off the bolt face but other than that leave it drippy. As you are shooting it you should have oil oozing out of every orifice of the upper/lower. You want all those big metal parts sliding smoothly and mating together without hitting any dry spots. (That should be a good mental image for ya!)

With Kimmy on top going ah....ahhh.....ahh

As I understand it the court struck down the "may issue" language of the law and it requiring demonstrating a special need for a carry permit. All that will be needed is an application for a permit and then jump through whatever hoops the gov't says are proper for getting that permit. The gov't "shall issue" permits to qualifying applicants. Its the qualifications and the details that the gov't can play with now, and where court cases can evolve from. I'm just thankful I'm here in WI. Submit proof of a qualifiying training course with the application fee and boom you have a permit as long as you aren't a prohibited person. In my case it was the certificate of completion of the Hunter's Safety course I took when I was 13, which is now 50 years ago.

As 98 said, go slow. A drill press is the perfect tool for drilling out a gas port. Just cradle the barrel so it doesn't wobble, a drop of oil in the port, maybe one on the drill bit tip and gently press the bit through. It can't go crooked because you already have a perfect guide hole. Going slow minimizes metal breaking as the bit finishes the hole and what might hinge into the barrel is gone as soon as you fire the first bullet through it.

Ummmm, saline is salt water. Brackish is mixed fresh and salt water like a bayou or where a river hits the ocean. Details my man, details.

Keep an eye on the classified section here: https://www.archerytalk.com/forums/crossbowtalk-com-crossbow-forum.362/ There are plenty of used crossbows out there that have a huge amount of life left in them.

This is excellent. https://gatdaily.com/a-rifle-behind-every-blade-of-grass-what-sayeth-cleveland-com/?utm_source=GATdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6_10

OK here we go again. Things are a little bit different this time around due to the past Covid ammo crisis, lack of people shooting in general, and my buddy with the federally licensed loading shop now taking most of the common calibers I can scrounge up. To those of you who know who you are, yes I will save and set aside calibers that you are looking for. New customers are always welcome. Updates will be posted as quantities change. I have many calibers for sale priced by the piece. Buyer pays shipping charges for appropriately sized USPS flat rate box or envelope. IMs are always welcome. Nickel cases have been removed and/or separated as noted.

You can tone down the noise with string stops and vibration dampeners, but they are still louder than a vertical bow. The consolation is at ethical bow hunting distances it doesn't matter. At a measured 385 fps and 20-30 yards away the bolt is through the deer before it reacts to the shot noise. Yep, the cost of big name new crossbows is insane.

Just don't go deer hunting with field points like Darryl in Walking Dead. Idiot prop people don't know the difference between a hunting and target arrow. But that is to be expected for Hollyweird. In my case, two matching crossbows. The trouble is they weigh as much as a rifle.

Rare Breed is taking Garland and the ATF to court. If you want to plow through a lot of legaleze here is the lawsuit. https://theinfidel.co/blogs/rare-breed-news/rare-breed-triggers-llc-v-garland-et-al-3-2022cv00085-atf-doj-new-lawsuit

A bit like the modern equivalent.

Oh I am well aware! I have one for my 5.56/300 BLK.

I didn't know that maglula made one for 7.62X39. I'll have to look into one for my grendels. Edit: 30 minutes later one is on the way from Midway. On sale to boot. Thanks

The 6 of 6arc is 6mm = .243 Its basically a 6.5 Grendel necked down to 6mm.
