We don't have a Video of the Day thread, just a Funny Videos thread. We do have a Pic of the Day thread, which is here. I posted this here, because it's not funny, but it's scary. This dude is bad AF - Do NOT try to surround him in an alley...

Hmmm... WTF?!

Something's up at SIG, and they are FULL-ON in Damage Control Mode right now. Something is coming down the pipe with them, and they're trying to mitigate it right now, with all this garbage... JMHO... Something big is about to happen with the 320, and I don't feel it's gonna be good for SIG...

Hell Yeah!!! Get yer A$$ down here, brotha!!! March 20~23, Homie!!!

HOLY FUKC!!!!

Ironically - I know, hard to believe - I have to do that a couple times a winter down here south of Phoenix, AZ...

Questions on this thing. First, does ANYONE have one of these things yet? Somebody here HAS to have one already. Aero has been super-slow shipping to both customers, and dealers. Looking for info on it, to see if it's worth the hype. It's expensive as FUK, approaching Knight's Armament territory, and scratching the surface of the Daniel Defense rail prices. This thing is $300-ish, just for a rail. Here's what I'm talking about - any feedback is greatly appreciated, before I order something that will take months to get here. FWIW, I'm still waiting on two STAG-10 receiver sets with rails, that were ordered in Jan...

Damn, I love ya, Homie!!!

You ROCK, Brother!!!

I can attest to that one, Doc. Whole-heartedly.

Got a snowblower, brother?

Ballistic Advantage launched their .243 Winchester barrels. I have the stainless 18" midlength gas barrel on the way.

And. I can't believe nobody has taken the bait, and done this yet, and I can't resist anymore...

Love that girl, and her short vids - and sandwich ideas. Glad to see her catching some traction.

Conservative Car Salesman...

I hope I'm one of the people they were looking at. Let's see what they're about.

For the record, we - members right here on this board - are currently shooting 2006.4 yards (1.13 miles) and 2280 yards (1.3 miles). We will stretch that out a little bit more during the Spring Shoot '25, coming up in a few more weeks, and just see what we can get. Right now, we think we're running the .300 Win Mag at it's limit - but we thought that before, and just keep finding more distance that it can cover... Shooting from a bench or an elevated platform is far different than what snipers go through, but it's the plan of putting the accurate rifle to the test, and putting yourself to the test, just to see how far you can get that thing to fly, and hit.

Beyond Belief: The Longest Sniper Shots Ever Recorded Great article from Ballistic Mag. World Record Sniper Shots by Ballistic Staff February 27, 2025 If you’re like me, you enjoy long-range shooting. One of the benchmarks in this craft has always been achieving a 1000-yard shot. Although advancements in guns and gear have made this shot less daunting than it once was, it still represents a solid challenge. The military shares these advancements, continually improving their equipment. While we celebrate our 1000-yard achievements, imagine hitting a target at four times that distance. Consider the added difficulty of making that shot in an austere environment, with people actively trying to kill you. These shots involve a bullet flight time of around seven to ten seconds. This is precisely how world record sniper shots occur. Here is the current list of the five longest sniper shots recorded. Five of the Worlds Longest Sniper Shots Before I dive in, we need to grasp the incredible nature of these shots. These are shots taken where the bullet flight time can be around seven to ten seconds. Also, the average human can only see 2.9 miles before the curvature of the Earth cuts off their view. These shots are pressing the absolute maximum of human capacity. 1. Distance 2.36 Miles – 4153.6 yards In November 2023, Viacheslav Kovalskyi, an award-winning long-distance competitive shooter, settled into his position in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine. After the Russian invasion, he joined the counter-intelligence agency of Ukraine’s Security Service. Using a Horizon’s Lord anti-materiel rifle, believed to be chambered in 12.7x114HL, Kovalskyi prepared for his shot. This special round, loaded with a 750-grain bullet, set the stage for his remarkable feat. At 58 years old, he fired a single shot at a Russian officer, and after a nine-second flight time, the officer collapsed to the ground. At the time of this writing, this shot marks the longest-recorded sniper hit in history. 2. Distance 2.19 miles – 3864.4 yards Canadians operate one of the finest sniper schools in the world, which produced an exceptional shooter attached to the Canadian Joint Task Force 2. In 2017, this unnamed sniper positioned himself in a high-rise building in Iraq to support Iraqi security forces as an overwatch. The situation proved complex because air support was not an option due to the high number of civilians in the area. Armed with a McMillan TAC-50 rifle, the sniper fired a 750-grain bullet at an ISIS fighter. Within moments of pulling the trigger, the ISIS fighters experienced the devastating effects of the powerful round, known as the pink mist. Confused and rattled, the fighters broke contact without even knowing the sniper’s location. 3. Distance 1.74 miles – 3062.4 yards We now head to Afghanistan’s Helmand Province with the Australian 2nd Commando Regiment. This sniper was working with another team in the area as a small sniper unit. The shot was made and confirmed by three spotters working on the detail. Like other snipers, he was using a 50 BMG round. He used the Barrett M82A1 with a Schmidt and Bender scope. What makes this shot even more impressive is the rifle itself. Some may argue that the M82A1 is not traditionally considered a true sniper rifle. The gun must consistently shoot 1 MOA or better to meet that designation. The M82A1 is technically an anti-material rifle designed for vehicles and other targets. In the right hands, however, this rifle is capable of shooting “minute of man.” The M82A1 has been the end of countless enemy combatants in the hands of exceptional snipers. 4. Distance 1.68 miles – 2956.8 yards Our number four slot belongs to another Ukrainian sniper. While details on this shot are thin, what we know is this. A special operations soldier of the Ukrainian National Guard fired a shot at a Russian soldier. He was using the XADO Snipex Alligator, a specially designed, anti-materiel rifle made in Ukraine with a claimed effective range of 2,000 meters. The Snipex Alligator is a bolt-action, magazine-fed repeating rifle that is immediately distinguishable by its enormous size. It sits at 79 inches when fully assembled, with most of its length coming from the barrel. It fires a 14.5 × 114 mm round and was designed to consider all the requirements for high-precision shooting. The shot was on target, making it the fourth-longest sniper shot of all time. 5. Distance 1.68 miles – 2962.8 yards While not in the top spot because of distance, this record is even more remarkable because he took out two targets from the same position. In 2009, a British Army sniper was providing overwatch for forces in Afghanistan. He used an Accuracy International L115A3 with a Schmidt & Bender 5-25×56 PM II scope. The shooter was Craig Harrison, a Corporal a member of the elite British Household Cavalry. Harrison spotted a Taliban two-man machine gun crew shooting at a convoy. The insurgents were armed with a Soviet PKM machine gun. Harrison shot and killed both members of the machine gun crew with two sequential shots. He additionally shot and destroyed the PKM machine gun as well. While technically, this sits in our fifth slot; it is one of the most impressive displays of shooting I have read about. It is truly one of the best World Record Sniper Shots. World Record Sniper Shots The factors that go into these shots are countless. They include wind speed, temperature, barometric pressure and even the rotation of the Earth. Hats off to these shooters that have elevated long range shooting to an art form.

I think you'll love them. I just picked up two more from him last week.

DPMS-based and Armalite AR-10-based BCGs only differ internally, and only in the firing pin and spring. The Armalite AR-10 firing pin has an additional shoulder on it because they spring it. DPMS-based BCGs use traditional AR-15-type firing pins (dimensionally longer), and no firing pin spring. Externally, the BCGs are identical in size and function. I intentionally built a DPMS-based large frame gun - all Aero M5 receivers - and I used 100% Armalite AR-10 guts, just to prove this point. Armalite AR-10 barrel, BCG, and recoil system, running in Aero M5 receivers. It runs like a sewing machine.

I feel your pain - and no, you are not alone on ELR. I can't go into extensive detail, about this, and my opinions only, from my view, and I'll call you about it this weekend. I'll give my VERY BLUNT opinion right here out in PUB-LIK though. Motherfuqrs need to stop looking at their cellphones, and start checking back into the fuqin board... Got something to say about your snowfall, or your weather, or your day? Put it up here. Don't do it in a fuqn group text. The key players - you know who you are... Post the fukc up more often, instead of a lazy group text. Make the extra step of clicking into the board first - then, just say wtf ever you want! Or not. Just do you.

Go make an Intro Post in the Introduction Section - I just freely handed you more FREE information, than I've ever given to anyone with one post. Here's the link to the section - payback time is due, so tell me about yourself. Nothing is free... Rip it up. https://forum.308ar.com/forum/22-introductions/

Aero Precision manufactures all the Stag-10 receivers and rails. For Stag Arms. If you have Stag 10 BCG in there - you have an Aero Precision BCG in there. It's as simple as that. Aero Precision used to use ToolCraft for all their BCGs, but they moved all their BCG production in-house - and the AP BCGs don't suck. They are legit. If you swap your Stag 10 BCG for an AP BCG - you just bought the exact same part. If you swap it for a ToolCraft BCG - you just bought another part that works identical to the part you replaced. Hope that makes sense. Hope that helps. Don't ditch your BCG that you have. You haven't even shot the rifle yet. FWIW - My opinion only - the Stag-10 receiver sets and rails, manufactured by Aero Precision, FOR Stag Arms - hose receiver sets are far superior to AP M5 receiver sets and rails. What Aero does for Stag Arms on this is WAY more than what Aero is even doing for their own M5 stuff. The Stag-10 parts are superior to Aero M5 parts. I own alot of both.

One would imagine, when they run your SSN and that information pops up - they'd look at that and say, "Well, damn - we don't need to research ANYTHING during those listed dates... " I guess that's not in their Training Manual...
