.22 TCM is a badass little cartridge! I've punched through 1/4" AR500 plates with it...

So, they just announced this thing today, but YESTERDAY The Firearms Blog made a video about it?!... They ROCK!!!

I will own this. The black one, not the one with all that gold shiit on it... Got GPJohn on it now... https://www.mossberg.com/category/series/940-jm-pro/ I'll be handling the hell out of this in about 2.5 weeks, too. @Robocop1051, you'll shoot it come the Fall Shoot... Details: https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2020/1/3/mossberg-introduces-new-940-autoloading-competition-shotgun-platform/ Mossberg has announced a new 12-gauge autoloading shotgun platform, the 940 JM Pro, available in two 10-shot models. The result of two years of development alongside world champion shooters, Jerry and Lena Miculek, the 940 JM Pro is designed to meet the needs of today’s competition shooter with the incorporation of an array of aftermarket modifications and accessories direct from the factory. Using the iconic 930 JM Pro-Series Competition Shotgun as a baseline, the Miculeks worked with Mossberg engineers to identify and help re-design major areas of improvement that included the gas system; loading port; point-of-aim/point-of-impact; overall product fit and functionality; sight system; and choke system. All the newly designed components led the way for the introduction of a new autoloading platform from Mossberg, the 940. Major attributes of the 940 autoloading shotgun include: Gas System: The new gas system on the 940 will run up to 1,500 rounds before cleaning and will reliably cycle any type of quality factory-made 2¾” or 3” ammunition. A stepped and vented-spacer component has also been incorporated that keeps the gas system running fast by shedding any moisture or carbon build-up every time it cycles. Loading Port: The 940’s loading port has been designed to allow the user to efficiently quad-load the magazine tube straight out of the box without any need of modification to the receiver. The elevator and shell catch have also been designed to eliminate common pinch-points. Point-of-Aim / Point-of-Impact: Mossberg engineers worked to design a new barrel-making process for the 940 that ensures the consistent production of a platform that will allow a user to maintain an accurate point-of-aim/point-of-impact when utilizing quality factory-made ammunition. Fit and Functionality: The 940 sports a slim profile and ergonomic fore-end and stock, both feature Mossberg’s signature texturing that offers a positive, yet comfortable grip. The stock is completely user-configurable, offering out-of-the box adjustability for length-of-pull (13" – 14.25"), drop, and cast. The receiver is anodized for durability and the controls (charging handle and bolt release button) are oversized. Internal components are nickel boron-coated for smooth, reliable functionality. Sight System: The 940 JM Pro utilizes a fiber optic HIVIZ TriComp sight system that offers nine user-interchangeable LitePipes, in three colors and three shapes of varied height, for superior sighting in any competitive environment. Choke System: Equipped with Mossberg’s Accu-Choke system, the 940 JM Pro ships with a set of Briley extended chokes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder and Modified) that come engraved with constriction for easy selection. Two models of the 940 JM Pro are being initially offered, both featuring 24" barrel lengths; 10-round total capacity; and matte blue-finish on the barrels. Options include choice of black synthetic stock and fore-end (SKU #85111) with tungsten gray-anodized receiver. Gold-anodized bolt handle; bolt release button; magazine extension nut; safety button; trigger; and cocking indicator which easily identify your 940 in a rack of similarly-equipped competition guns. With the second option, the stock and fore-end are camouflaged with the proven Black MultiCam pattern (SKU #85113). The receiver and controls wear a black anodized-finish. MSRP: $1015.

It's official... Can't believe @ARTrooper didn't call me on it when it was all going down... He's usually quick about that.

How far have we wrecked this thread, so far, brother... It's probably only MINUTES before Eric @ARTrooper accuses me of derailing a thread - when he derails threads... I'm waiting for that one again...

Why you always bring up OLD SHIIT?! This is why we can't have nice things... Sorry brother, that was a flashback...

So, it's STILL my fault... God Dayum, this reminds me of my ex-wives... 🤣

Only according to the Main Stream Media.

Brother, I'm just a guy with too much time on my hands (means I ditched two wives, because they're time-consuming or evil - or both), and a great shooting spot not far from my house. All I am is an interpreter. I interpret complicated shiit, and technical jargon, and whiz-bang terms and confusology... into laymen's terms. I interpret shiit into reality, so we can all understand it - then do it. I'm just a peckerwood that lives in the dirt, with too many guns.

What wind does. The same wind will affect a .22LR 40gr projectile, at 200 yards, the exact same as wind affects a .308 Win 150gr projectile at 600 yards... That's why .22LR trainer rifles are worth their weight in gold. Much cheaper long-range training, when you want to see what wind does to your impacts on target - and zero kick from the rifle...

I completely understood that, when you said it, brother. Believe me. What I was clarifying is one simple fact - zerks in the cross of the u-joint are NOT a weak point, if those u-joints are installed correctly. If they're NOT installed correctly - they're a definite cause of a future driveline failure, and it WILL happen. If you use a u-joint with a zerk on the cross, you need to be smart enough installing it, that you don't "clock" it wrong, or it WILL FAIL prematurely. You clock it right, zero issues, for the life of it. It's the little things, that make the big differences... That was my point.

With what you've typed - those are two different guns. What do you have? DPMS is one gun, a "LAR-308" is a Rock River Arms gun - and the two platforms are pretty different. You just need to post a good pic of what's going on in YOUR GUN, here, man. Once you do that, we can figure it out. That hasn't happened yet.

I'm a very big proponent of Appleseed. I think everyone should go through an Appleseed Shoot. I was an instructor for years. I need to get back into it again, and it's all been time-vying-for-time, in my busy schedule. Appleseed Shoots are invaluable information to shooters, no matter what your skill level.

Just found a reference that states " The 45 Raptor uses .460 S&W Magnum loading data and dies. A .308 Winchester shell holder is used during the loading process. " Also looked at my Hornady 10 Manual, and for 300gr projos, they're listing all 3 of the powders I referenced above, H110, IMR 4227, and Accurate 1680. That's a place to start - look at .460 S&W Magnum load data.

Those are both powders that I use in 300BLK (H110) and .30Carbine (IMR 4227). I use Accurate 1680 in 300BLK, too, so that's another one you could add to the stable. Since we're in that ballpark... Some people talk about using IMR 3031 for 300BLK - but I only use that for 45-70 with 405gr handloads. Possibility, though, it's out there in reference.

800 yards is where you gotta put it all together, brother. Wind isn't a difference, at 500 yards on a .308, unless you're shooting in a hurricane. Wind starts to make a difference at 600. Wind is making a big difference at 800. You'll get it, brother, don't sweat it.

Grease nipples in the cross aren't a weak point - if you install them right. You can clock that thing 90 degrees when you're putting it in, and MAKE it a weak point though. That's bad installation, right there. Don't fear u-joints with zerks in them - you just gotta install them correctly, and they will never, ever fail at the zerk.

There are stronger U-Joints than OEM spec. I learned this in the Jeep World, early '90s. What U-Joint was the thing spec'd with. Jeep example I have is shucking the 297X u-joints for 760X u-joints. I'll find a cross-reference for you, bet one that. I have a stronger one for you, brother. Thank god I was a 4-wheeler in my past life... EDIT - FWIW, I've been doing the Jeep shiit long enough that those 297X u-joints were THE upgrade...

DAMN!!! You're rollin' DEEP brother!!!... Rovers and shiit!!!... #1 Question here... How the FUK did you break a Rover?!... You're worse than GREG... That guy could break an anvil in a sandpit... No other tools required... Gonna take GREG a minute to find this hidden little gem...

You on the wet side of WA, or the dry side? I spent 12 years in Tacoma.

He's all over the internet now... Long rap sheet, going back years, with violence... Keith Thomas Kinnunen, 43

There was a First Responder and the Second Responder in that video footage. The Second Responder was Jack Wilson. One shot, head shot, at distance. The First Responder had a very hard time getting to his gun, clearing his gun, and he got shot. He was not the person that the shotgun was aimed at. He stood up, and it took him too long to get his gun out (from his middle of the back carry, with a suitcoat on), and the Bad Gunman took aim on him and pulled one off. Jack Wilson took tare of it quickly, but not before Bad Gunman turned that shotgun on the innocent dude in the dark suit in the upper right corner of that video. Lessons learned - and there are lessons to be learned. Practice your draw. Middle of the back carry is not efficient. 3 O'Clock at the very most, especially if you're a designated security person. Appendix is the fastest draw. Train, train, train. Draw, draw, draw. Dryfire, dryfire, dryfire. You can't possibly train enough, for every situation, but you can still train. The more scenarios you throw in, the more stress you throw in, the better you can react to something that you've never thought of training for. It's absolutely shiitty that the firstguy lost his life - and the second guy - but that first guy telegraphed what he was doing when he first stood up, then had trouble getting his gun out and presented. That small few seconds cost him his life. Learn from it, change what you do, if that's what you do... Don't carry in the middle of your back.

Don't go there... 🤣 U-Joints are easy, Eric. Sweat it not.

One of the instructors there, GPS Defense... I don't know any of them personally, but I worked for 3 years with a Marine Scout Sniper, really good friend and bad motherfucker. One of the instructors at that location was a Scout Sniper student of his, back in the day... He (my friend) spoke very highly of him, and very highly of that course. So, I don't know a guy... But I really know a guy, that trained that guy...

I LOVE IT, BROTHER!!!
