  1. Our wally world in BFE northern WI didn't have a gun displayed the last time I was there. This is in an area with maybe as many deer as people wandering around.
  2. This escalated quickly! This past Sunday (Oct 25th) I found stripped AR15 lowers at Primary Arms for $52.99. So just because I could I ordered one. It should be at my friend the gun pusher by the end of this week. We all know how gun parts, even the most insignificant ones can spawn entire rifles. That is exactly what this lower has done and its not even in my house yet. All the rest of the parts for a complete 223 Wylde chambered AR are now on the way to me AND ITS ONLY TUESDAY! The only parts it hasn't spawned yet is a scope and mount. Damn!
  3. https://www.voodootactical.com/advanced-shooters-mat.html https://www.amazon.com/Voodoo-Tactical-Advanced-Shooters-Mat/dp/B01M3VGSR2 Hmmmm, I wonder why?
  4. I was chuckling to myself the whole time I was typing your list. What you and the others don't get, hopefully Montana dude comes through again and takes away.
  5. I have no experience with 45 Raptor or 460 S&W reloading but I have used Lil'gun a lot in 300 BLK supersonics and tried it in subsonics. Something to consider with Lil'gun. Great velocities in supers and it worked ok in the subs. What I don't like about it in the supers and subs was the fact that it burns HOT. Hot enough that you didn't want to hold the suppressor or bare barrel after about 5 or 6 rounds. IMR 4227 on the other hand had great accuracy with subs and burned much cooler. Hold the suppressor after shooting several 5 round strings of test loads cooler. Just tossing personal experience out there with no idea how it will work out for you.
  6. We're about a month away from deer season up here, the tourists are mostly gone, Covid has locals all fukked up, the most prolific local shooting range is still closed due to DNR stupidity, and brass intake is down to a trickle. My buddy who happens to be a gun pusher and licensed private ammo manufacturer is getting ALL the common pistol calibers. He wants them bad enough that he is getting the 380/9mm/40 S&W unsorted mixed all together. The oddballs I keep and sell to you guys. The range may open for 3 weekends before the hunt so rifle shells will still come in as I can get there, but things are pretty much done. Here is a list of what I'm saving for who here on the forum. If what I have here isn't accurate let me know. @RedRiverII 45 Colt 44 mag 444 Marlin 338 Win Mag @MikedaddyH 10mm 300WSM (brass & nickel) @98Z5V .243 .260 300 Win Mag 308 LC Headstamp 308 Hornady Win Match 30-06 LC headstamp 7mm-08 (brass and nickel) 8mm Mauser Factory 300 BLK 30 Carbine As always, thanks a bunch!
  7. Thats why I post these updates. So you can prepare your heart meds in advance of getting the total. At least this time around you won't need an air drop and a forklift to get the box into the house.......I think
  8. The 45 Colt and 44 Mag totals may be a bit bigger. I have some to count that weren't incuded in this update. But they're yours.
  9. Exactly what is was.

  11. How many here took at least 30 seconds to find the gun in this picture?
  12. That looks much better in nature than on the bench! Great job. I didn't have access to my pictures before you got it done but here is what I've done with two of mine and my son's. Upper one is my 6.5 Grendel SBR. Lower one is my suppressed 300 BLK pistol. Both were done with rattle cans and dabbing with a sea sponge. My son's 300 BLK pistol as an Imperial blaster. Turns out the white/black makes for great snow camo for deer season up here.
  13. As was said over on the Grendel forum. The difference between a Grendel and a 6mm ARC is: A grendel is more of a hunting caliber you can target shoot with. A 6mm ARC is more a target caliber you can hunt with.

    I know you're a huge Hornady fan but I just found this. These are over-runs not blems. http://www.shootersproshop.com/on-sale/nosler-6mm-105-grain-rdf-hpbt-over-run-500ct.html

  16. You got it backwards man. 78" height, 83" wingspan. But still can't get into the air. Being my age and the fact that "white men can't jump" I rarely leave the ground. Back to our regularly scheduled thread topic.
  17. 6'6" Which comes out to 78". So much for the wives tale of your wingspan being about equal to your height.
  18. The original pistol tubes were smooth cylinders. Completely different from adjustable buffer tubes. There is no need for spacers with the SBA braces because they use standard carbine buffer tubes.
  19. The adjustable braces are nice. I started out with the original Sig brace and a KAK pistol tube. The tube came with 2 spacers to adjust the LOP. 1 half inch and 1 one inch to get up to 1 1/2" of adjustment. Long arms? How about 83" finger tip to finger tip, arms out parallel to the floor. Bow shops when I shot a vertical bow hated me. I'de walk in and tell them I needed a 37" draw and they would look at me funny until they did a measurement. Then I would walk out with nothing.
  20. No worries. Derailing of threads is a given around here.

    98's 6mm ARC

    Sounds like you are coming up with a winner there for a rifle! But let me ask you this.....can it punch a 3/8" diameter hole in paper with just one bullet?
  22. That is brilliant! Selling bulk ammo in BULK. Those are loaded rounds. I'm more of an icecream pail and ziploc bag operation for sellable. 5 gallon buckets for everything else.
  23. @RedRiverIIThanks man! As of right now I have no idea what the exact situation is. Luckily I have the guy who does most of the maintenance there as a contact in my phone. I'll stay informed.
  24. Sure thing! There might be a few more after I get sorting done today. Today's sort may be the last one for a little while. 90-95% of my supply just dried up. The DNR just closed the Caywood shooting range 10 min from my house because the fuccking tourists who have no idea about gun safety or common sense have shot over the top of a 40ft tall berm system and their bullets were landing in the gravel pit that is behind the range. Guys were working back there at the time. This was the most used and most prolific range for brass in the area. I'm guessing the Vietnam Veterans of America group that maintains the place will have to do some serious a$$ kissing with the DNR to get it back open. Fuckking ayy!
