Laughing. My Ass Off...

Watching a new movie trailer right now. I can't WAIT for this one to get released!!!

For those that don't like to read, until they see a picture...

@Armed Eye Doc - this thing was a game changer, brother... It really was... https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2023/04/19/tfb-review-olympic-arms-oa-93/

Perfect!

This is gonna be the key in the future, to not fighting the carbon buildup later down the line. You'll find that it's WAY easier to cleanup the next time - whenever that is...

Told you guys that SHOT Show 2020 was Ground Zero for La Corona... I stated it, directly, when I got sick as fuk after that one. I don't get colds, or get sick. Fuckd me up for a couple days, pretty bad. Never missed work, though. This real vid is about a Black Swan event in the US, but the beginning is all about that same thing - the launch of La Corona... This is the first time I've heard anyone else that was surrounded on the industry state this... Everyone was kinda kept quiet about attacking this angle. I fukkin' knew it. The massive spread into the US was SHOT '20. That did it. Check it:

^^^ Pretty much did that to the last one. I'm just sayin'...

"Don't let the good manners, and the accent, and the Maple Syrup fool you..." Wait for it - if you haven't watched that yet...

The Fat Electrician, again. This time, he's done a piece on Lewis Millett. I know I've brought up meeting this man before, being one of the monumental changes that shaped my military career. Check it:

Oh, the fallout that's gonna come from this one...

Last week, quiet news. Sad day. RIP, Chuck. Chuck Mawhinney, deadliest sniper in US Marine Corps history, dies at 75 Mawhinney also had an additional 216 probable kills during his time as a sniper in Vietnam By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi Fox News Published February 17, 2024 2:16pm EST https://www.foxnews.com/us/chuck-mawhinney-deadliest-sniper-us-marine-corps-history-dies-75 The most lethal sniper in U.S. Marine Corps history has passed away. Chuck Mawhinney, 75, died on February 12, 2024, at his home in Baker City, Oregon, according to local reports. Mawhinney holds the record for the most confirmed kills in the history of the Marines — 103, with an additional 216 probable kills. That count also makes him the deadliest sniper of the entire Vietnam War. For many years, Mawhinney did not boast or make public his record of confirmed kills. He didn't even go into detail with those close to him about the extent of his sniping career. That changed when he was mentioned in a war memoir that briefly noted his exceptional accomplishments. "Dear Mom: A Sniper's Vietnam" is a memoir written by fellow sniper Joseph T. Ward. At one point, the author claimed that Mawhinney had 101 confirmed kills. Ward briefly served as a spotter for Mawhinney during the war. The unbelievable kill count was initially met with skepticism by fellow veterans and military historians. But research proved that his exceptional career was true — and he, in fact, had two more confirmed kills than Ward had thought. "It was the ultimate hunting trip: a man hunting another man who was hunting me," Mawhinney, an experienced hunter, told the Los Angeles Times in a 2000 interview. "Don’t talk to me about hunting lions or elephants; they don’t fight back with rifles and scopes. I just loved it." Mahwinney finally told his entire life story from his own perspective in 2023 in "The Sniper: The Untold Story of the Marine Corps' Greatest Marksman of All Time," a chronicle of his career written by author Jim Lindsay.

NICE score, Doc!!! HELL YEAH!!!

YES!!! You didn't tell me it was a Rosco Manufacturing barrel - they make GREAT barrels! I was ready to grab 2 of these in 6.5 Grendel last week, but the DLC versions were out of stock. The only ones I could get were the nitrided ones, and I know they work... but I'm wanting a DLC coated BCG pretty bad, to see how they run. In the meantime, I'll live vicariously through you...

Yeah - until you need to shoot your bolt action with a gas mask on, and find that your height-over-bore is even lower - on the bolt action... THEN you'll be thinking about it... What a hobby, huh, when these factors come into play...

^^^ PURE GOLD!!!...

We're gonna run the Win Mag until it can't hit anymore... We have the distance, so we're gonna push that fuqr until it can't go any more...

Don't change the barrel, brother. Don't. Leave the .338 Lapua barrel in it. We're gonna be so far beyond what a Win Mag can do, soon, that you'll just piss yourself off if you change it, then have to change it back to .338...

She already knows that one of them belongs to HER!...

When God is in a mood to create art...

The real reason that you're seeing torque numbers below what I'm stating is because - the initial operation has already been done. The threads are already stretched, from the real install, the initial operation of building the barrel. You're taking apart barrels, extensions, and applying torque (hopefully) to realign your extension with the feedramps that were cut in - a later barrel assembly process... You are torquing it again, after the threads were torqued and stretched to spec the first time. Your torque values that you are seeing are torque values from stretched threads... and lower than spec, because of that. That's the reason that you have a torque range, and not a direct number. Hope that makes sense. Look forward to your intro, in this section here (I'll link it for you): This is the Intro Section, just click it, and make your post about you: https://forum.308ar.com/forum/22-introductions/

Go hit up the Intro Section, Jim, and tell us about yourself. The barrel extension is intended to be installed, as part of the barrel manufacturing process, before the barrel is final machined. Doesn't even have the gas port drilled yet, when the extension goes on. Barrel extensions are not meant, or designed, to be removed and reinstalled. The torque for installing during the manufacturing process is 175ft/lb.

Watching this guy's brilliant remodel of a box truck - into a stealth RV... It's pretty badass...
