Thanks Mike! Kinda where I’ve been leaning. Went ahead and mounted the 1.5-4x on a 13” 5.56 for now.

I recently traded into a Leupold VX-freedom 1.5-4x scope with their pig-plex reticle. My coworker threw in a Leupold Mark AR one piece AR mount. I’m really impressed by the improvements they made with this mount vs their older Mark 2 IMS one piece AR mount that I’ve had on my Aero M5 for years. The older style has 2 screws per ring vs 4 screws in the newer Mark AR along with a more solid rail mount than the older one. My plan for the VX-freedom 1.5-4x is to mount it in my 13” 5.56 pistol so no harsh recoil in it’s future I’m not sure if it’s my ocd making me over think it or if there’s value in swapping the newer more robust looking Mark AR mount to hold the 2-7x on my 308 vs just leaving it in the older Mark 2 IMS. I haven’t had any issues with shifting zero or anything with my M5, just contemplating this since I’ve got both on hand now. I’m curious for opinions from the collective experience here?

The CM6 started a liking for sharpened swedges so I took a file and stones to the spine of my Esee Izula2 and made a gtfo me blade.

Thanks for posting that vid! I typically discount Stallone because of his anti gun rants. Found him very relatable in this one.

I’ve had this thing for years, bought it during one of the earlier ammo shortages during the Obummer years. Got the idea to break it out after installing my Dawson backups and see if the LaserLyte LT40 40sw worked in the 10mm despite the .14”+\- difference in case length and I lucked out. First 25yd group in the house. Anyone else use one of these or something similar for dry practice?

Thanks for pointing that out with the action on these, I was never aware of that. Man I haven’t thought about the slab side target model in ages. That’s one I’ve always wanted, I think my dad intended to get it instead of the govt target but they were like hens teeth.

Thanks!

We’ve run 6.0L levitator engines(built off a GM small block)since 2016 or so. One of those got ran too hard and blew the engine so they had it swapped out for the 7.4L version, folks don’t tend to try cruising at 5K rpms anymore cause go so fast the damn hull starts skipping like a stone. Bad sheeit happens fast with them in water much deeper than a foot when you start running above 40mph. And they handle pretty sheeity in deep water.

The higher ups would probably get pissed if they found out, but the possibility is definitely there. I’d likely do it if it involved getting to go bowling through sounders of hogs or something like that.

Thanks! I’ve never been able to warm up to the powder coat finishes. They feel like truck bed liner on the blade and I just love the way 1095 looks after it’s processed some game animals and done some kitchen duty. It’s been an almost daily user since getting it last October. Filing in the choil was fairly recent mod, something with the lines was irking me.

I do environmental work for a wetland monitoring company driving airboats and outboards all over the coastal marshes and into the Achafalaya Basin. Airboats are fun as sheeit to drive, but I’m glad I don’t foot the maintenance and repair bills cause them poor bastards don’t get a break from us lol.

Finally picked up one of these for my ghb gear. It also fits my AR pistol broken down so it’ll likely lead to some varmint shooting out of airboats eventually

Esee CM6 before and after I made it mine.

I haven’t yet, but a coworker at another office on the coast talks them up as being really good. I’ll probably try it soon, just cause I’ve always tried oddball game animals. I have killed a shitload of them over the years without mercy though due to how bad they trash up the marshlands here. Those and hogs are the trashiest animals we have down here.

Mounted the dot this afternoon. I’m anxious to get this one to the range and start popping some nutria at work.

Couple new things since my last log in. A coworker wanted my Gen 3 G20 way more than I did so I flipped it on the Gen 5 mos G20 and DP Pro.

Exactly this! Been warranted for a loooooong time!

Welcome from Louisiana!

That’s exactly right! I built an AR pistol simply because I had a MFT stock saddle sitting in a parts box and saw Thordsen Customs made a buffer tube cover system that fit it. They’re like a combination of Grimlins meets transformers.

Another thing that your experiment with the sabots from a 300blk may allow using 80gr+ longer high BC bullets loaded to AR magazine length since the cases shoulders are pushed back like they are. Should be a similar situation to how Hornady evolved the 6ARC off the 6.5 Grendel case to load longer high BC bullets.

Thanks for this post, your explanation about the “piston” size in relation to the bullet weight makes complete sense to me as to what you’re thinking. Should be interesting to see the results. A close friend and I messed around with some of the Remington Accelerators in his dad’s M742 back in college and couldn’t get them to groups work a sheeit. The faster twist from a 300blk barrel may solve that issue. At the very least you should be mirroring a 5.7x28, which could be fun for varmints and targets.
