Ordered a 20” .450 Bushmaster upper by Radical from Primary Arms along with a carry handle sight by AeroPrecision and a Troy Battlesight HK style fixed front sight (non-flip) I thought the upper came with a magazine, but I guess they don’t on the ones sold through PA. I have one coming from...

Hello everyone, Inspired by the .223 debates, just kidding, I’ve got an itch for something big bore. Having tried in vain to get the planets to align so that I could acquire a 45-70 lever gun, (they sell out as soon as they become available) I started looking at AR uppers and have decided that I...

This vehicle showed up on one of my security cameras today, driving slow and suspiciously. Do recognize this a a Texas game warden vehicle? Never really seen them much. There is a high fence hunting resort that is near the backside of my forest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went out to reset some game cameras today so I took my stubby 6.8spc carbine out to try a bunch of different factory hunting ammunition out to see if it all fed and functioned well. I was using two magazines from ASC. One was purchased several years ago, and one was purchased recently. The...

Seen a local Facebook post with someone looking for a gunsmith that isn’t backlogged and got me to thinking if there is an increased demand for gunsmiths these days. I’ve never needed a smith, but thought it might be an interesting career for some people. I’m not even sure of the path one would...

Considering building an AR10 in .308, as I have a significant amount of .308/7.62 NATO ammunition that I’m not really using. Not looking for anything expensive, really just a reliable combination of parts. I know that there’s a couple of different formats out there. Are the triggers compatible...

Well, I had a few lowers that I would swap uppers around on for many years. Got away from tinkering with ARs for a bit, but in 2023 I had regained interest in messing around with them. These two are a 24” fluted bull barrel and a reworked 6.8spc upper that was previously not functional with a...

Hello again, I had ordered a stripped lower for my orphaned 6.8 mashup upper that I recently put together and I’m going to pick it up tomorrow, already have the parts to complete the lower coming in the mail Monday. What happened is that I got to thinking (always dangerous) and decided why not...

I’ve had a 6.8 spc upper with a 16” barrel from Green Mountain Barrels a few years ago. No matter what I did, the upper would short-stroke and not pick up another cartridge about 90% of the time. I finally decided that the gas port was probably too small. I had measured it once, but don’t...

In my previous thread I converted a 300aac pistol into a carbine with a 16” barrel. What I should have predicted is that with the pistol length gas system and a 16” barrel there could be some feed issues. Well, guess what? The carbine had some double-feeds using supersonics. So I figured that...

Hi everyone, I’m having difficulty deciding whether this is a house cat or bobcat. Seems tall for a house cat and has speckles. I also don’t see any ear tufts and seems small for a bobcat. Admittedly, I’ve only dealt with a couple of bobcats in my life. I’ve added pictures of other animals...

Haven’t hunted in a number of years, but since moving to my heavily forested homestead in Deep East Texas a year and a half ago, I suspected that many species of wildlife is living amongst us. I recently put out some cameras and one camera in particular has shown lots of activity. This camera...

I am taking a .300aac pistol and will install a ridiculously long muzzle device on to the barrel of this future rifle. Most cost effective way of eliminating the risk of owning this firearm. I like this upper and it runs really well and I have tons of 300aac stockpiled. I don’t care about the...

Quick question Min shot size for nuisance armadillos 12ga 20” Cylinder bore, no choke 25 foot range Thank you

Been pretty amazed at the toughness of the Beretta finish on my pistol. Looks like it finally wore through after years of toting it around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have boat loads of 7.62 NATO and .308 WIN So much in fact, that I went and purchased a budget bolt action rifle. Anyway, when reevaluating my ammunition inventory I came across several boxes of ammo with XM118LR stamped on the box; with additional printing 20 CRTG 7.62 MM LONG RANGE M118...

In my previous locations for shooting, I had natural backstops for shooting, pit walls, large creek banks, dirt cliffs and so on. I am considering putting up a range at my newest property, but it doesn’t really have substantial natural features, so I am considering making an earthen backstop...

After seeing this, there should be no need for AR15 related scope or sight questions... Thought this was a meme at first. All in good fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello, I see this image almost daily on social media, claims to have stopped a WW1 bullet. I think the bullet was still moving fast as it nicked the coins. What say you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
