      Olight

      Got one on order. $159 plus the Picatinny rail adapter free since I spend way too much with them…

      .50 bmg rifle blues

      I don’t know if it was that ammo specifically, but there was hot 9mm NATO ammo being made for the subguns and being imported. Many guns for the civilian market were made for SAAMI specced 9mm ammo and weren’t really built for the higher pressures of the 9mm NATO rounds that were starting to...

      .50 bmg rifle blues

      It was the main reason why many modern 9 mms beefed up chamber strength to handle higher pressures. Which, of course then lead to the proliferation of +p+ Ammo out there. Which, of course then lead to the 9 mm Super for the competition guys trying to make major…

      Should I have kept my mouth shut ?

      I wonder if either the employee, or the owner is reading this thread. I’m glad this could be a learning moment, regardless. This is the kind of dumb crap that gives us all a blackeye or worse. I have a lot more respect for people who can admit that they were wrong, own up to it, and use that as...

      .50 bmg rifle blues

      I’d have to dig, but I’m pretty sure I have an ammo can full of them, so a hundred. I had an AR50 but lost it in the house fire. I couldn’t shoot it well anyway as I shoot rifle lefty and there wasn’t any way to easily shoot it lefty. I’m not going to risk my M82 or my face with anything but...

      .50 bmg rifle blues

      I’d be interested in what you find as well. My LAR Grizzly Big Boar is my go-to for questionable .50bmg because it’s a tank and I’ve never worried about overpressure with it, so I might pop off a few rounds with it and see what the chrony says.

      .50 bmg rifle blues

      All I know is on arfcom and on FCSA there were a spate of problems that started coming out with them. Memory as to the exact nature of the problem is fuzzy. What was left imprinted on my brain was “stay away from Talon .50bmg.” it may have been something that happened after manufacture or just a...

      .50 bmg rifle blues

      They had some QC issues a decade ago and blew up some guns. IIRC there were a few serious injuries.

      Looking for privately owned land to shoot on.

      I hosted a few jungle run shoots at my place as well as shooting golf (a shooting course where a foursome starts at a hundred yards, takes one pistol shot at a colored balloon, then moves up ten yards until you hit, repeat for nine “holes”). The first one was just close friends and family...

      Are they currently making Trailboss?

      800x was meh for my 200gr hard cast. I couldn’t stuff enough into the case to get the velocities I wanted for my nuclear rounds. I started working up a blended powder I mixed (do NOT try this at home kids, I am a scientist and have access to lab equipment) that used HS-6 as a base. HS-6 and...

      .50 bmg rifle blues

      I have a couple of thousand rounds of .50 bmg down the pipe in my guns. I currently own three and have owned three others. This is not a round to mess with. Surplus ammo of unknown origins can blow up guns and only a very few guns out there are built that won’t grenade or shoot the bolt...

      SHTF stock

      Me personally, my house sits on top of a ridge with good sight lines out to a couple of hundred yards. Shotgun and pistol would be to repel boarders so at that point not a whole lot of ammo would really be needed, not more than a couple of hundred rounds because either I’m going to win, or it...

      BCA Grizzly

      That’s fair. I was hoping it wasn’t because they were associated with some odious political group or something.

      SHTF stock

      I don’t disagree at all. But he did ask minimum. I’ve been taking inventory recently, and I keep pulling out ar mags. They are stashed everywhere. I pulled out a 3 ft.³ box unlabeled, it was full of ar mags. I may have a problem. Naaaah.

      SHTF stock

      First you have to define SHTF. This is different for everyone. Civil unrest? End of the world as we know it? Divorce? Loss of the job? Permanent medical disability? Are you going to be mobile? Are you defending a fixed position? I’m not trying to be cute here. Without knowing the mission...
