  1. No, Matt is a moaner. You're definitely a screamer. Dirk will be happy with you...
  2. The have smaller firing pin protrusions (firing pin is smaller in diameter, where it strikes the primer) and smaller firing pin hole in the bolt face - is that correct?
  3. I'm so done with benchrest barrel-dream guns, where they tell you that you have to have a 32" barrel to even be accurate... If someone offered an 18" barrel for my .260 Rem, I would have done that, but the shortest that I could find was the WC 20" barrel - back then. Now, LaRue does an 18", but the shortest they did when I built mine was 22". I don't have too many precision 5.56 ARs with anything more than an 18" barrel. Well, I have 2. That aren't 18". I have 3 x 18" of them, and one 16" of them. Barrel length doesn't mean they're not accurate... "Accuracy" isn't barrel length. Accuracy is what you build. It's either accurate, or it's not. Barrel length is only muzzle velocity, nothing more. It's either an accurate gun, or it's not. You can shorten the barrel - and it's still an accurate gun. You might lose muzzle velocity, but you'll never lose accuracy. You just lose velocity - and that means you have more drop to account for, at distance. Doesn't mean it's any less accurate. My most badass example of this is 6.5 Grendel. I have a heavy 18" barrel SPR-type gun (It's actually a BA SPR-Profile Grendel barrel) that drops 8.5 mils at 850 yards (2534fps), and then I have a 12.5" Grendel, Govt profile Faxon barrel that drops 10.0 mils at 850 yards (2369fps). The 16" Grendel Mod H gun (BA 16" SPR Profile) drops 9.0 mils at 850 yards (2475fps)... All are "accurate" and can do it, every time - one has less drop than the other, and the other, because of more muzzle velocity. Same exact load, for all three. Barrel length doesn't directly equal accuracy... Accurate guns equal accuracy...
  4. Give that one to the tree-cutter, and tell him that all this needs to be made right.
  5. He's certainly a screamer. You just have to approach him at the correct angle, and get the jump on him. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
  6. If it wasn't, WC wouldn't be making it. They get barrel twist rates right. Call them and ask about it.
  7. I've loved my XDs45 since day one - once I stopped limp-wristing it, or trying to shoot it like a 5" 1911... Hell of a pistol.
  8. I KNEW it!!! Then... snoooze...
  9. Focus hard on the internal depth of that PSA receiver extension before you stick any of those new parts in there. Measure it. Accurately. They shipped some of those PA-10 receiver extensions that were 8.000" internal depth, and that's a nightmare to deal with.
  10. Better watch out, or he'll get you again...
  11. Sweet little cute baby Jesus... I thought I had a gun problem, but Doc has a serious machete fetish...
  12. What's this little blip of activity at the end of the night, brother? What were you doing?...
  13. ^^^ He likes long walks on the beach, barefoot, in the moonlight, too. Don't let him bullshiit you...
  14. Wait until you see the laser-light that they're coming out with after the middle of the year... It's in the video I posted in the SHOT thread. Towards the end.
  15. Welcome. Fear not. We've got that topic very well covered...
  16. We're just lucky that you're still here, Doc. Seriously. That's some skeeeeery shiit! Was Wife-Of-Doc, Ruler Of The House home at the time? I can seriously hear your voice right now, looking around, scratching your head and saying, "Well, this sucks..."
  17. ^^^ OH SHIIIT!!!
  18. Copper gas line conducting the electricty... is fucking SCARY, BROTHER!!!! DAMN!!! That guy needs to stop doing tree service, if he can't drop them where they need to be dropped. Bad Monday for him.
  19. It comes with a badass black belt holster - It would be too easy to put this on your duty belt and daily it, for work.
  20. What went down with you today, brother? Wish you were out here. I need to drive west.
  21. There was still cold breakfast burritos ready when you got there, brother... What a damn good day, man.
  22. Oh, that M16A4 DELIVERS! Damn does that gun shoot! Zero'd the irons on a mlitary 25-meter/300 meter zero target, and that MaTech rear sight is on for elevation dialing, irons only. Right on the money at 200, 300, and 500 settings. Zero'd the 5x fixed PA optic on it after that, and that BDC is on, when zero'd 0.5" high at 100 yards. That gun just WORKS.
  23. Damn great day today! I didn't think @MikedaddyH was gonna make it out, but he did! Hell Yeah! Today was a gathering of hunting buddies of @JBMatt - goal: make sure these guys can hit at 12" plate out to 300 yards - that's what they're gonna need to do for elk hunts here. There were some bruiser guns, too = .300 Win Mags, 7mm Mag, etc. They were all doing it at the end of the day, and better understood their scopes, wind reading, wind holds, etc. We put out double sets of steel at 100, 200 and 300 - one IPSC plate per range, and one smaller gong per range. Get comfy smacking the IPSC plate, then get comfy making sure you hit it where you want/intend to - then move the smaller gong, per range. I threw an IPSC plate out there at 500 yards, too. That turned fun, for hunters. There's gonna be a few guys getting on Witt Machine's website and getting some brakes made for their guns, tell you that much... We ended up going through the Range Estimation and Wind Reading class, ran Mils (meals) and MOA calculations - helpful for these guys to understand what they need the scope to do, what their scope can tell them, and why. Great, great day. First thing we did was get out there and get the 100s, 200s and 300s in place - then I started cooking breakfast. Onions and peppers on the griddle, chorizo going in the skillet. Chorizo and egg burritos, add the onions and peppers if you want, diced steak to add... Mmmmmm.... I cooked while Matt got these guys warmed up on the 100, 200,300. When they stopped to eat, I dropped that 500 out there. Here's what the 100~300 looked like: Close up of them: Food setup: Firing line pics: Smackin' the 500, the firing line: Before you knew it, it was time for more food - Applewood smoked bacon and cheddar burgers... Matt's Suburban-n-Trailer setup is just Badass. Check close, and look at that license plate... Damn fine day, men - spent with great people.
  24. You knew that one was coming...
