  1. 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.
  2. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. A bit like the modern equivalent.
  9. Oh I am well aware! I have one for my 5.56/300 BLK.
  10. 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
  11. The 6 of 6arc is 6mm = .243 Its basically a 6.5 Grendel necked down to 6mm.
  12. Ahhhhh! #5 kid in the oven Or a blessed little tuber
  13. Not knowing what @Matt.Cross with #5 means, but knowing that's an ultrasound image, what the heII is that?
  14. @MJV83 One of these is what you need to gauge your resized brass to make sure its within spec. Take a resized case..plunk it in..and you can instantly see if the shoulder is bumped back far enough. The other option that gives you a cutaway view of what is going on inside the gauge is the Sheridan.
  15. ^^^ What JBMatt said right there. Another blatant plug: Hornady collet bullet puller. Buy the proper sized collets for your calibers and you are set. Adjusted properly it won't even leave a mark on the pulled bullets.
  16. Hi and welcome. You didn't mention what kind of press you had, but priming can be faster and easier if done off the press. Using any kind of hand primer gives you the feel of how much pushing pressure is needed to seat the primer. Priming is the last quality control check for your newly processed brass. Little to no pressure indicates a loose primer pocket which can then be immediately dealt with by putting that case aside and gently pushing the primer back out, then tossing the case into the recycling bucket. A universal depriming die is perfect for this. You asked for suggestions, here is a blatant plug. Lee Bench Prime: I can do around 500 cases in about 1/2 an hour. Same feeling of priming pressure, same last quality check, NO cramped hand muscles, aching joints, or aggravating arthritus. Mine is screwed to a piece of 1X10 pine that is then screwed to my bench when its needed.
  17. Ummm. Just found these. https://www.sarcoinc.com/ar15-m16-long-flash-hider-with-slots/ https://www.sarcoinc.com/ar15-m16-long-flash-hider-with-holes/ Tossing out examples
  18. More than likely.
  19. That doesn't answer my first question. Pinned or clamped? It makes a difference for your options and how difficult the change over will be.
  20. How close to the gas block can you go to do what? The uninformed about upcoming project want to know!
  21. Is the fsb pinned on or a clamp on? If its a clamp on no problem, take it off like any other gas block and replace it. If its pinned on, once you have the pins out and the fsb off you are going to have two half moon shaped cut outs on the bottom of your barrel where the fsb pins went. That is what made me decide to cut the fsb when I free floated my Colt AR15. I punched out the pins, pulled the fsb, chopped off the sight and the bayonet lug, then rounded the upper edges and painted it with high temp grill paint. I figured I had a perfectly functioning gas block so why not use it, and no ugly holes in the bottom of the barrel The project was also kinda fun.
  22. Unopened jug. Face to face sale. I'm in northern WI. $325
  23. https://fieldethos.com/the-ultimate-game/?utm_source=Field+Ethos&utm_campaign=d5766d26ee-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_04_29_10_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ec58060b67-d5766d26ee-389293405&mc_cid=d5766d26ee&mc_eid=1f20a81f81
  24. 4 # of trailboss will last one heII of a long time. I grabbed up 6 bottles of it as the panic started and even loading 400 rounds of my 110 grain subs for my RARR 300 BLK I barely got into it. At 4.4 grains/bullet it goes a long way. What do you have in mind?
  25. Sure! Its in the one I didn't read. That figures. Thanks
