  1. Taurus PT92 here. I hate the M9. With a passion. That slide mounted safety is the dumbest $hit in the world, and decockers suck. My $0.02. <dontknow>
  2. I was just wondering this same thing - but backwards - when I was loading the 300BLK that I cut down. The die set I picked up for the Blackout was RCBS AR-Series 300 BLK dies, which are small base dies. In Dawn Marie's new build, the very first rounds I hand-cycled through it were my cut down 5.56 cases, fully loaded ammo. I had a hell of a time fully closing the bolt on them. After two or three attempts for the ones that failed to chamber, they'd go. If they failed to chamber in hers, I'd run it through mine and it would chamber. Her rifle would chamber 110gr Barnes TTSX factory loaded ammo. My reloads were the issue, including some once-fired (but now reloaded) 300 Blackout factory cases. Pissed me off. Headspace was checked before the barrel went on, with the bolt for her rifle. So, my final conclusion on it - tight chamber. Let's go shoot it. Now, my question is: those small base dies messing with me, for some reason? Or is it a combination of the small base dies and her chamber? Or would it simply be "just her chamber?" That was an aggravating experience, before I just said fuk it, and shot the thing.
  3. Ah, yessssss... You have been a victim of Lesson 65b... <lmao>
  4. Damn Trigger Thief! :rant2:
  5. I love the VooDoo Tactical bags, man - great stuff!
  6. That is NUTS!
  7. When he did that drop-in, he hit more towards the base of the ramp, lower on the transition - he broke the $hit out of his right hand on that landing. Watch it again, and watch for the landing on the drop-in. Dirk... WHY have you never talked about that at T-Day, brother?! THAT'S BADASS!!! :hail:
  8. That was a damn good vid! He got a piece of that scene from a New Year's Eve stunt he did in Vegas a few years ago - that was sweet to see a twist to that. Robbie Maddison is a BAAAAAAAD DUDE!!! Here's the Red Bull NYE jump in Vegas - some of you guys should remember this, if you were home for New Year's and had the TV on. THIS was a Step-Up from HELL!!!
  9. Damn! Jon, you are one M E A N bastard! <lmao> I've never seen a cast iron PRESS break before, but I have done my own share of breaking the stuff in Jeeps and trucks, I will freely admit that.
  10. Whooooooo! I puckered when he went sideways!!! I didn't think that guardrail was gonna hold him back!!! :eek:
  11. That's the most important thing about all of these 308 platforms. Soooooo many manufacturers now, just for receivers.
  12. Yeah, brother - Super 3 Gun, Geissele S3G
  13. As I did. The rest of the state is great. Just not where I lived. DC can kiss my a$s, now and forever more... Ron needs to get out of there, by the way. Hey Matt! How'd you like that Clark Kent on your a$s, you Calvin Klein-wearin;.... <lmao>
  14. This vid kills me - semi-drifting is cool. I want that Challenger.
  15. You missed his opening statement in that article, brother: I worked with this guy in 1995 and 1996 - he's no-BS. He is where he is now because of that.
  16. Not saying that this exact thing could happen if you don't check headspace - bolt lodged in your shoulder - but something similar could DEFINITELY happen if your headspace isn't even verified - and it's off, and very tight or very loose... If you don't check it, you won't know until you pull the trigger the first time, too... I'm just sayin'. In reference to the 308 ARs, there IS no set standard, no pattern to go by, and definitely no TDP to follow in producing the parts for them. Hell, there are three MAJOR different platforms/patterns in them, and by now, possibly thousands of manufacturers of parts, components, barrels, etc. You can probably build any AR-15 variant you want, not check headspace, and you'll just be fine. Please check the headspace on your 308 AR build, though. Not for us. For you.
  17. I honestly don't think he's got an agenda with that, Clint. Really, man. I support your side of it, too, in reference to their interest in the 308 market - they had none. Well, until now. They make GREAT AR/M4 springs. GREAT stuff. Not just he action springs - the extractor springs as well. For durability, they have that all sewn up. I wish they'd put the time into the 308 market that they did into the AR/M4 market - we'd see a great product from them for the 308s.
  18. HELL YES!!! Well, except that the Little Woman knows where my stash is - and shoots out of it when I'm at work and she's off... :ugone2far: <dontknow>
  19. WITH engine, this is how it should be done. Bubba can R I D E. <thumbsup> Sorry, couldn't help myself once I saw that vid Rene had in here... <lmao>
  20. I haven't pulled the Rock Chucker apart since I bought it in 2009 or 2010. I probably need to do that. For some reason, forming that 300BLK brass seems like it's hard on it. Makes the damn thing move on the bench a little.
  21. Yessss, considering it's a 1 MOA dot. Mike, put your contacts back in! <lmao>
  22. Jeebus... :eek: I clicked the posted link to make sure it worked. Then I laughed, reading through it. THEN... I realized that lead into the Woody, then the AR45, and the Ruger GSR was in there somewhere, but just mentioned... <dontknow> I have issues... <laughs>
  23. Man, the Bobro mounts are some of the finest out there, and in my opinion - which is not worth much - they have the finest, smartest mounting system designed. I did a writeup about them quite some time ago; I'll try to find it and post it up. If you strike out and they don't make it with a 20 MOA cant, don't even sweat that - find a scope with enough elevation range built in, and don't look back. The mount is worth it. <thumbsup> EDIT - Knew the title... found it fast... <lmao>
  24. I don't know how I missed this thread, but THIS is funny!!! <lmao> Doesn't matter WHAT that banana bread looks or smells like when it gets to Oki. Marines will eat it. <laughs> YEP!!! :banana:
  25. I actually think there's a faster rate of fire from the SlideFire, from what I've shot on one. It seems like it shoots faster. I've never run it against the timer, though. Mike and I will arrange that and get a vid up.
