I say commonly available as the most powerful short action round full stop 8s the .475 Bishop which throws a 390gr pill @ 2,500 fps. I want to know is what's the most powerful short action that you could find in a reasonably well stocked gun shop? One of the Winchester Short Magnums? 375 Ruger...

"Carry anxiety" as you aptly put it is normal when you first start out, I'm sure we all felt that way at one point. However it will quickly fade and eventually you'll stop thinking about it at all. Putting on your carry gun we be just another part of getting dressed, of no more import than...

Yet more evidence that camel is a complete fucking moron.

A well trained, well disciplined and well equipped populace could be such an asset to a nation.

Now that my Mk IV is all sorted and running well I finally invested in some additional mags, 3 more for a total of 5 (one box worth of .22 I figured) some brass follower buttons to hopefully alleviate to godawful gitty feel of the things and 9ne of them fancy clipazine speed loaders.

I successfully installed the trigger kit. It was a large pain in the anus. The trigger feels fantastic however, also like not having a magazine safety.

Volquartsen Accurizing Kit for my Ruger Mk IV Hunter.

Ah, leftist troll, I see.

I have the Legion soft case if you want it. And the coin might be in there too. I'll check when I get home. I had a Made in West Germany marked 226 once with the old I dot sights, which I liked, and that was a very nice example of a p226. I liked my Legion too but had to sell it to raise some...

Well, again, I owned a DA/SA Legion and I do regret selling it. The G10 grips were fantastic but I would be putting some nicely checkered wood grips on the Elite so no advantage there. The Legion trigger isn't anything special either. The trigger bow itself is from Grey Guns but the...

I can't tell, are you for or against the policies you have described in this and your other posts?

How would you calculate the exact height you'd need?

It will be for a Ruger 10/22 Target Lite model. Use case is target shooting at 50 and 100 yards. I would like a 10x magnification up top and something not too bulky or heavy as the idea is to have a rifle that isn't too heavy for offhand shooting. Budget is around $400 but I'd consider...

Trigger just shipped. How much of a pain will the install be?

Revisting this thread to demonstrate what I mean. Here is a a P226 Elite prior to the current change: Now here is the current iteration: Pay close attention to the shape and size of the beavertail and the grip area immediately under the trigger guard, notice the undercut on the current...

You ever figure out what you are going with?

Volquartsen Accurizing Kit ordered. With this taken care of I shall now focus on setting up my 10/22 Target Lite. New stock and scope.

Bar from prosecution for anybody that kills anyone committing a felony. Criminals would go extinct. Decriminalize homicide of felons in today's parlance.

I have like 8,000 of em. I'm in the process of burning off old surplus. 22

The Volquartsen bolt did indeed do the trick. The Ruger runs like a raped grape ape now. Went through a brick of ammo and other than 3 failures to fire, which I figure to be due to typical rimfire hijinks, it cycled flawlessly. Ammo used was some old federal gameshocks and a few boxes of GECO.

This misconception again. "Assault Rifle" and "Assault Weapon" are two separate terms. The former is an informal yet discretely codified military term for any rifle or carbine that is capable of select fire, feeds from a detachable box magazine and is chambered in an intermediate rifle...

Volquartsen Competition Bolt with all the Volquartsen bolt goodies installed. It's an older style they had on clearance at $100 discount. Something about retaining slot at the front of tge bolt being smaller on tge new ones. Now I just have to wait for their trigger kit to get back in stocks...

Cycles much, much smoother and goofy as it looks the plunger is indeed easier to manipulate. Hopefully this also solves the cycling issues.

New grips for the Mk IV.

Is there a more beautiful wood for grips than rosewood? They feel wonderful in the hand too, an improvement over the slim style factory grips. Altamont is selling these for peanuts, if you catch them in the middle of a production run that is.

Stainless

A model 617 is fairly high up on my list.

I ordered the Competition bolt from Volquartsen. They had a a clearance on new stock of an older version for a $100 discount so I got that, it's the black DLC version though, no pimpin' gold for the Ruger now. The trigger kit is out of stock at tge moment however so I'll get back to that...

In a rare moment of clarity he likely foresaw that his days in political power were numbered- If Trump wins reelection in 2024 the establishment RINOS will be on his shit list big time. If Trump loses, especially if due to shenanigans on the part of the TDS suffering faction of the GOP, that...

Eotechs are still good. Go to option if one gets into NVG stuff. Probably the most precise of all the reflex type sights. Battery life is not great and they are bulky and heavy compared to a red dot and a somewhat more expensive as well but the the Eotech is still a great optic nevertheless...

I was hoping he was gonna stroke out but whatever, I'll take it.

It seems to be either failing to extract or eject spent cases. I have run high velocity almost exclusively, mainly CCI Mini Mags. Also some CCI standard velocity. Brands I have also used include Federal, Remington, Aguila and a fair bit of GECO. Also a few boxes of Winchester. I haven't...

After the Mk IV is sorted I will be getting the 10/22 Target I bought at tge same time, and have not shot yet, kitted out. I will be putting it in a Victor Company Titan 22 stock with the dongus what secures the rear of the receiver and a Meopta 2.5-10x scope.

I'd like my Mk IV a lot more if it wasn't such a jamomatic. The hope is the Volquartsen bolt solves this.

The time has finally come to Volquartsenize the Mk IV. Dispatch has been running me like a dog the last couple weeks and as a side effect I find myself with an actual surplus of fundage. I will be getting the full Competition Bolt and also the Accurizing Trigger kit, I'm thinking the gold TiN...

The only use case I would recommend a scope of some kind over a red dot, for an AR that is, would be for precision shooting beyond 200 meters. A 2 MOA dot can be very precise out to 200 or even 300 meters. At those distances 5.56 has a very flat trajectory so needing a reticle for holds isn't...

Most red dots these days you put in the batteries and leave it on. Many models have an auto off and on when jiggled or for Aimpoint dots the electronics have so little drain they stay on constantly until the battery runs out after 50,000 or so hours. Either way the dot is on and ready to go...

What is simpler than putting a big, glowing red dot that is floating in space atop your prospective target?

LPVOs are for a generalist rifle that doesn't excell in any one area but has the ability to flex into a broad array of roles. Bit again this is not about red dot vs LPVO. If you only have 1 AR then it beeds to have a red dot on it unless it is a target/range gun only. For a possibility for...

That was my rifle, the NYGF build. That one has a Holsun 515 on it. Is this the only AR you will have? First AR should get a red dot, ne question. Save magnified optics for the second AR. As far as scopes go the ACOG is still a great option, simple, rugged and excellent optical clarity, on...

More likely to see prices increases before shortages. Trucking rates have always been at a premium in NYC yo compensate for productivity lost to congestion and there will always be truckers that take loads that no one else will.........for a price. The company I started out with paid a $100...

Also we need to realize that a complete shutdown of all truck traffic is not necessary, nor could that ever happen. Any reduction at all will have an outsized effect. One day of no incoming shipments to a facility can cause a week's worth of shortages. The modern supply chain is incredibly...

I have learned a good trucker needs to know his worth, don't let companies walk all over you. Anytime a dispute comes up for any reason I tell the office "you need to keep me happy, I am an experienced, competent driver with no substance abuse issues, no criminal background, nothing on my MVR...

Any driver that doesn't speak English you need to assume they are dangerously incompetent. They almost. ALWAYS ARE dangerously incompetent. Speaking/understanding English used to be a requirement for getting a CDL.

Incompetent and/or illogical drivers exist of course. I ran reefers for a company fo about a year, you quickly become accustomed to the noise while sleeping however it isn't unknown for a driver parked next to a reefer to shut it off for the night. In general the fuel expense of a reefer unit...

Possibility of getting fired means he was working for a company. Working for a company means the company pays for the fuel and not the driver. Why would the driver therefore be shutting off the reefer to "save money". That fuel cost isn't coming out of his end so he shouldn't care how much...

That's kind of a silly conclusion given that the Tappan Zee lay along a route commonly used to bypass NYC on the way to points further north east.

I didn't like the reduced controls of the Legion actually, the slide release in particular which digs into the thumb sharply after a few manipulations. I much prefer the standard controls. What I liked about the Legion was the exaggerated undercut, the G10 grips and all tge extra checkering...
