Yeah thats it! Just asking for directions officer. Really I was.

Rene sandwich! Tastes great! More filling!

and her sister, Mint?

@NF1EIs it camera angle, scope ring height, optical illusion, or my eyes? Your scope looks higher at the eye than it is at the front. Are the rings 2 different makes?

There aren't a whole lot of finishes that will stick to Ti.

I have 3 words for anyone using a hand primer. Lee Bench Prime Seriously! The handle pushes straight down toward the bench in the priming motion and you get the same "in the hand" feel of whether or not the primer pocket is tight. No sore hands after a session of 500 primed cases.

Back in high school (70s) I had a round slide rule.

I'm sure someone with the skill and knowledge to make suggestions will chime in eventually. But the general motto for a large frame AR is "Don't complicate shiit with complicated shiit."

This isn't an answer to any of your questions or a suggestion of any kind. Just an observation. You have by your own admission a LOT of lightweight parts going into that rifle, especially into the rear end. What is the contour of the barrel? A .936 gas journal might suggest the barrel is heading toward a heavy bull barrel. A bull barrel out front, especially at 22" long, and all those lightweight parts in the rear, could make for one very nose heavy rifle. You mentioned a suppressor. That will add even more nose weight.

Welcome from WI, and I assume you have questions?

In my experience they will feed, but the soft points get gashed going up the feed ramps. My handloads using them were still 1 to 1 1/2 MOA at 100 yards which was fine with me for deer in the woods up here. YMMV

House wiring compared to 12 volt is messed up. I always tell people who know nothing about wiring that 12 volt DC runs in a circle and has positive and negative(red/black, black is a negative color). In vehicles negative is connected to ground/the frame. AC house wiring doesn't run in a circle, it sloshes back and forth(basically) through the black and white wires. I'de much rather deal with 12 volt stuff. What was really fun was the wiring I put into my little camper that @Sisco has seen. All the outlets are duplex. AC to the top plug, 12 volt to the bottom. DO NOT plug a 12 volt light into the AC plug! Child cafety caps installed in whatever plug is not being used.

This might be of some help.

Yeah, that would be BAD. Boom and shrapnel three feet in front of your face.

If you have a suppressor for your BLK, would it work for a 300WinMag? Both are 30 cal. Or would the cartridge size difference and pressures stop you from swapping back and forth? Just wondering out loud.

220 grain commercially loaded subsonic rounds can be hit and miss as far as staying subsonic and/or functioning a rifle. With that being said my 8" barreled SBR ate 110 grain from the get go but wouldn't cycle my 220 grain sub handloads. Opening up the gas port on the barrel to .108 solved that issue. I added an adjustable gas block for the option of turning down the gas when using supers. Right now it eats everything I put into it suppressed. If a 300 BLK won't cycle supers there is something grossly wrong somewhere.

I was thinking of thoroughly pissed off beavers for @98Z5V's benefit. He could shake them around, get them nice and mean, then have a good laugh as he yanks the trigger rope sending them into orbit.

......beavers made properly mad by shaking up the barrel before launch.

I can't imagine a bowling ball floating.

I have plans for a mini trebuchet around here somewhere made from dimensional lumber. Someone could easily upsize it using larger lumber, or if you really wanted to go big, someone with engineering experience could redesign it any size you want. I've thought about building one about 10 feet tall that could throw pumpkins. Set it up on a beach and fling them into the lake. Take a boat out and retrieve them afterward. Pumpkins float right?

Hmmm, great looking engine! How many rifles is that in today's market?

This is funny, sad, and true all at the same time.

....and he is here in WI.

@98Z5V As Jack Reacher said...."a phone is a tracking system that makes phone calls."

Why would I want THAT? Just because I have over 1000 10mm cases sitting here? Nope, It's too fugly.
