The........... "teeth" I guess you could call them, under the gel block are 1" wide.

There will be variances of course but the typical 00 buckshot pellet is .33" diameter, around 53gr in weight moving at around 1,150 fps in a typical 2 3/4oz load. This means a single pellet has about 155ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. This closely compares to a .32ACP. If each pellet in a 9...

I read a short article once warning people that select a 20 guage for defensive use to then not go out and pick the heaviest, nastiest 20ga load they can find whose payload and velocity exceed the typical 12ga load and defeating the purpose of using a 20ga in the first place. I thought it was...

Well, 00 buck when fired at close range absolutely can tear straight through a human but the chance the shot actually continues on to hit something else sensitive, and with enough energy to do meaningfully damage, is probably vanishingly low. In the event of a complete miss tge smaller the shot...

Ah, yes shotgun loads.......... well I know a lot of LE agencies both local and federal favor #1 buck and I've often read that #1 is optimal for defense as it has similar penetration to 00 yet with more pellets. #1 buck loads don't seem to be commonly available though for some reason. #4 bucks...

64gr .223 Gold Dots. I bought 2000 of em back when PSA was selling them for a paltry 40 cents a round. I keep 124gr +P HST in my handuns like the Glock there

........ so the acorn lost this one?

I think it's actually worse than that. I think Biden is genuinely suffering from dementia and that in his deluded state he believes he is the one running the circus. The bigger worry is that I don't belive that Biden has a group of shadowy handlers directing things but rather this...

As utterly appalling as that whole situation is and as terrifying the prospect is that we get sacked into this, I derive grim satisfaction from the no win situation Biden is in here, no matter what his play is he is totally screwed.

I can't recall the specifics nor the names of the guy but I do remember reading that a fellow went to Winchester with a series of cartridge designs that were extremely similar if not identical to what would become the WSSM cartridges with in the hope that Winchester would adopt and produce them...

I thought the WSSMs were all defunct due to a lawsuit? In any the 3 WSSM cartridges I'm familiar with (I did research prior to posting this thread) merely duplicate longer cartridges. The .223 WSSM is equivalent to the .220 Swift, the .243 WSSM is equivalent to the .243 Winchester and the .25...

Any of the Winchester Short Magnums fit in a short action znd they are all proper magnum cartridges, equalling their longer cousins. I'm wondering if there is a rifle cartridge that sits between, say the .325 WSM and the very boutique .475 Bishop. I'm just curious as I am not a hunter, if I...

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...
