^^^ See what I mean? Stabilize the head!...

Haha! New Lexington until I was 12, then moved to Zanesville. Graduated HS, boot camp, never lived there again. I still love that part of Ohio more than anything, though.

^^^ That single article, that I still have in print magazine, influenced my entire .260 Rem build - and it changed SO many things that I do for long distance shooting. "what's your chrono on that load - how do you know the muzzle velocity without a chrono?" Uh, I used ballistic truing to get my velocity. That led to my Kestrel with Applied Ballistics app in it, the bluetooth Bushnell range finder that real-time communicates with the Kestrel... That article is a literal Gold Mine of information... There's so much more...

@Navistar82, this finally happened, man, and the gun is one of the most serious distance shooters that I own. Once the barrel-making dilemna went to off-the-shelf barrels from Wilson Combat and LaRue (at the same time), I went with the shorter 20" Wilson Combat barrel. Here's the gun, and anyone can build it, man:

SouthEastern Ohio and WV are only separated by a river... Otherwise, it's all the same... I grew up in SouthEastern Ohio, lived there until I could join the Army and get on with life. It's in my blood, and I'm about as "hick" as it can get. I'da still stabilized your head... The only guy here I know that sounds more hick than me when addressing an audience is @Matt.Cross... That guy is FULL-ON North Carolina, and TOTAL hick!... I think our backgrounds are similar enough, that it's the only way I can function as his translator, when things get heated and people don't know what he's saying...

Brother, that was Coors Light-Induced, after I read something that someone said, that prompted me... You should see me around a campfire...

@308kiwi - I'm looking at this right now, at 11:15pm on 19 June, but this document is dated 20 June on it's cover - have you guys seen this yet? Time-zone wise, you're about 12~14 hours ahead of me, so I'm wondering... This got me, right away- on the first page after the cover" Do they NOT have a record of what you own?...

Finally. Thank you. That would have been real nice, as a preamble to the first time you opined on it.

I just want to see you say it. You don't even have the intestinal fortitude to to that... "Integrity" is another word, if you didn't understand my first...

That's not what I was looking for, and I haven't called you a "liar" yet, in any thread. What I wanted to hear was that you previously stated your own opinion as fact, and now you don't even have the intestinal fortitude to state that it was only your opinion. You just dance around the subject. To top it off, - you're never even shot the damn thing!...

@mineralman55 started it. it's not my fault this time, I swear...

I'm from there, and I wouldn't have done that. I at least would have been in the back of the truck with you, and stabilized your head.

No, I want your honesty.

So, you have absolutely zero to back up what you stated earlier, and it's just your opinion. Only. That's what you're now saying.

You'll have to speak to @Matt.Cross about those damn tracers... That video reminded me of the "FIreball Crowd" - they just HAD to film the fireball from the SBRs, while they shot at the 450 yard target, at night. HAD to be THAT target... I don't know how they had the precision to hit the chain holding the target, shoot a piece of 550 cord holding the chain to the T-Post, AND shoot the T-Post in half... and didn't hit the target itself...

That shiit right there is why God created #4 Buck. I'd run through ALOT of 4 Buck on those fuckers...

No real information from what I requested from you, and this is all you've got?... Why is that?

You cannot adjust headspace on an AR platform - it is set by the person that builds the barrel, which is a multi-step process. You can change headspace on an AR barrel, if there's not enough headspace to begin with, and that requires a chamber reamer, and reaming the chamber deeper in order to meet minimum headspace (which the barrel builder obviously did not do properly). You should check headspace on every single Big AR build that you do.

They are so lovely... I love them all... Here's my special edition Matco creeper from about 2011 or 2012... I don't use it much, because I want her around forever...

They did a great job on that set. Watch for 1 July, men, from Aero, and a Limited Edition set coming. It's gonna be good. Mine is already pre-ordered, I just need to figure out how to pay for it... I think it needs to be a 9x39 build.

Yep - you can't kill a rattlesnake, then go pick it up,if it still has a head - it'll still bite you, dead or not, if you don't let the time go by and make sure it's not twitching.

I dove-tailed it into this one in a way that makes sense - in my mind. It can be moved, modified, all that - shoot your opinion on "if it makes sense."

Thank you, brother - I appreciate that. The mood hit me last night, and the previous sentence I read triggered that outburst... After I looked at it, I realized that I need to copy that information, and put it in a thread that I wrote awhile ago - and I pre-planned placeholders into that thread. After I get done putting that information in there, I'll link the whole thread back into this one.

They are badass snakes, with pissed off demeanors. I hate those bastards. They are the King of "I will kill you" among all the rattlesnakes, as far as toxicity.

No shiit, brother?! You do have some pretty primo ground for snakes, though - all the rocks, veg, etc. Might be time for me to gift you some 9mm snakeshot. I hate the rattlers here, we have a couple types. Western Diamondback, and the Mojave. That Mojave is a mean motherfucker, and will sit in trees. They're quiet, and may or may not rattle, before they try to fuk you up. Gotta keep your eyes open when you're in al area with head-high branches. This guy right here I stumbled upon last summer - he was just getting his meal, and I left him alone. He hit a big bird, and was chowing down. He was impressive, and THICK. More pics in here:
