I'll raise you 2 bucks on that one...

Alot of the vendors that carry their stuff listed it as "discontinued." I tried to call VG6 and got nowhere. I called Aero Precision about it - Aero owns them. All I got for an answer was "they're working on re-designing a bunch of stuff" and they couldn't give me an answer on the CAGE device. That was the reason for my call in the first place, because of how well it works. Tell you what - the 300BLK Gamma that they (VG6) has listed on their website right now, as of yesterday - that thing is different than all the other 300BLK Gamma muzzle devices that I've ever bought. The pictures of it are different, the machining is different, and the number of vent ports in the top of it are different - fron previous versions. They're re-designed it, for sure. But, will it be better, or worse than before? Unknown, until I shoot the new one, side by side, and see. Or, someone else does, and gets the info up. New version pics: This ridge, or cutout, in the was bottom, never here before - not on any of the 300 BLK Gammas I have: The wrench flats are all the way down the side now - not on past ones: There are 3 ports missing in it, from the top, in this pic right here. One top center, and two posts bottom center. Definitely different than the previous versions... So, at least the 300 BLK Gamma is coming back. Unknown on the CAGE Device, and that thing was brilliant. If you fuk this up VG6, and Aero, then

Mikey likes cryptic posts. Just to make you ask more questions. Just from what I know. Just guessing, but pretty accurately guessing.

All this ATF Injunction means is that Rare Breed can't sell them anymore. It doesn't mean that they're illegal. ATF hasn't won that fight yet. They just won the fight (by passing it through a New York State District Attorney) that Rare Breed can't sell them anymore.

From what I've seen, that's just for de-priming them. Just getting those Berdan primers out in the first place. That water method doesn't account for reloading them. What a process...

Oh, it gets better.... Way More Better... I have more coming up from him ^^^ soon, about NJ and Concealed Carry.

With what we do right in camp, we (right now) have steel out to 712 yards. During SS23, we're putting in more steel at or pretty close to 775 yards. We can run those distances right from the main firing line. If we want to do more, we can run over to the offset Long Range location, and set in the 850, 1000, 1100, 1200. Maybe I try setting in the 1350 this time. Don't know. I've checked it, lasered it, but never set it up, because it sucks to get to. That would all happen at the offset Long Range location, away from camp. My vote is still 6.5 CM for the gun. The only thing hard for it to do, is go after the Mile, for what we do. There's only been 4 guns that have connected with the Mile target here, thus far. @JBMatt's Win Mag, my Win Mag, @sketch's Barrett M99 .50 Cal, and @Magwa's 6.5x284. Other people have shot those guns, and hit the target - but those are the only guns that have gotten it done, to date.

Depends on goals, brother, really. What do you want to accomplish at the Fall Shoot? We have a Mile target, a full 1760 yards. We're working on putting a 2,000 yard target out there - just to push us a little more. You might get the Mile with a 6.5 CM, but it kind of peters out around 1500 or 1600. You'd need to push it, for those extra 260 or 160 yards - and that's if you're shooting 140 Match ammo, or better yet 147 Match ammo from it. With the Win Mag, I load 225gr pills. @JBMatt uses 220gr pills. We can run that target down, with those. We've seen guys get out there with 160gr stuff in a Win Mag, and there's not a chance it's gonna connect. Not happening, without Divine Intervention. So, planning a gun purchase... What do you want that gun to do, based on what's coming up?... If you want to chase this Mile, Win Mag is the answer. However, this might be the only place you ever use it, to it's potential, and it's ginna need the right ammo to get that done. If you want a really great gun that will get you a max of 1500 or 1600 supersonic, that 6.5 CM will do that. It'll do anything under that with absolute ease, as well. My vote, in your situation - 6.5 CM. Or, GO BIG OR GO HOME, and do the Win Mag, smash this thing out here, and be able to kill anything in North America, and many other Continents with it! But, that's a tough call. Buy the gun that you'll use more, with what the gun can do.

FWIW, if you have any 12.5" barrels, with a brace attached where it needs to be, and a proper muzzle device attached - your typical OAL for the whole gun is usually 30"~32". I'm just sayin'.

Here's a good update from 2 days ago. Tom Grieve again. I like this attorney. I'd like to know which states these are, that he mentioned, that are gonna try to re-write the NFA 1934 law, change their state law, and change the SBR OAL measurement from 26" to 29"... THAT will get spicey!...

This looks like an expensive jig, and this process looks like a major PITA. I'd skip it, and find normal Boxer primed brass to work with.

Don't push too much on the foot, in the gym, too early - you have to use that thing for the rest of the day, every day.

I run the 300 BLK Gamma on the .308s. It's a 2-port Gamma brake, threaded 5/8x24 (I made a mistake up there earlier when I said something with 5.56 and 5/8x24 threading, in the same sentence - I meant the 300 BLK Gamma). Unfortunately, it's discontinued, and I think I got one of the last ones in the country, from a place in Florida, a couple weeks ago. The CAGE Device is discontinued, also. I haven't found any of those in many months. That sucks for me, because that's my go-to for muzzle devices, because they work so damn well.

She's gonna get pretty tired, once you field two entire baseball teams. I'm just sayin'...

SMART! That's nice work. When I went to 6" coils on the YJ, I went with the Pro Comp conversion - because of my exhaust. It's the Pace Setter full header, cat back from them, and the Random Technologies high flow cat. All Jet-Hotted, back in the day. Then, I needed suspension - more suspension. Pro Comp didn't fuk with my exhaust that I had $$$ into. The Warn Coil Conversion is what I really, really wanted - but I had to cut up that exhaust and re-route it to make the Warn kit work. Went Pro Comp. Never looked back. It's a 5-link system, not a true 4-link, but it works great, so I have no regrets. His LJ is one badass rig. I have Wrangler-Envy...

Yep, that BCG almost came rearward enough to strip the next round, but just "almost." Bolt over-run. Bolt ran over the round before it could fully strip it from the mag, because it just barely caught the rim - because it wasn't back far enough, but almost. There's alot of "almost" in there. Just because the gas is almost there...

Damn, man, you all look great! Those boys are so damn cool.

You'll probably have to blow that gas port up to 0.085", as well. My thoughts.

Just went through the article - that's a damn good write-up on it. You're correct - it's tempting. I know a guy with a Tikka T3 right now - maybe he will chime in. It's not that exact rifle from the article, but it's the platform.

DAMN!!! I LOVE IT!!!

This ^^^, on the gas tube and the gas port diameter. Measure your gas port diameter in the barrel, see what it really is.

Here's H.R. 584: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/584/text?s=1&r=16

Yep, believe it or not... They'll stop at nothing... Dem Reps Seek To Restrict Ammunition Sales To Americans Story by Bronson Winslow • Yesterday 10:02 AM Democratic lawmakers are seeking further restrictions on ammunition sales after submitting the “Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2023” in late January, which would block online sales of ammunition and issue new guidance for brick-and-mortar stores. The bill, H.R. 584, would require ammunition dealers to receive updated licenses and confirm the identity of any customer who attempts to purchase ammunition, further saying that online sales will be blocked and bulk purchases must be reported. Democratic New Jersey Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a lawmaker backed by Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun group Everytown for Gun Safety, introduced the bill alongside 23 House Democrats who co-signed the legislation. “Day in and day out men and women lose their lives at the hands of gun violence and the only response from Republicans has been moments of silence and continued inaction. Gun safety policies shouldn’t have to wait for tragedies like Las Vegas, Colorado Springs and Uvalde to be considered; we also owe it to mothers, fathers and siblings burying family members every day in Trenton, Plainfield and other cities across America,” Watson Coleman said in a release. Under the bill’s bulk reporting requirement, any retailer who sells over 1,000 rounds to a single customer must report the purchase, according to the legislation. Fenix Ammunition, a small, family-owned company that manufactures ammunition in the United States, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that they were not surprised that “our lawmakers would set their sights on ammunition.” “We’re confident that any efforts to restrict ammunition sales at the Federal level will be struck down in the post-Bruen era, and we’re doing everything we can to fundraise efforts to challenge existing restriction in places like California and New York,” Fenix Ammunition CEO Justin Nazaroff told the DCNF. “Gun control groups have already tried to blame ammunition retailers for mass shootings, with disastrous results for themselves and their clients in Colorado where the plaintiffs were forced to pay the legal fees of an online ammo reseller who they sued after the Colorado movie theater shooting.” “The Brady Campaign stuck their clients with a $111,000 bill and forced them into personal bankruptcy as a result of their lawsuit, and we can only hope that trend continues,” Nazaroff added. Watson Coleman did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
