Not that I’m aware of. Some companies are doing it for their performance track models. But no one is for street cars that I’m aware of.

Some of them have really expensive sporters. You drive a yota so even the rifles weren’t worth more than your truck. But yeah, we have people in the pits putting spotters in the target during the sighter portion. For the scored fire, I couldn’t see a single round. And No e targets.

CNG causes the environmentalists just as much anguish as dinosaur sauce.

March Car and Driver did a piece on the Rivian R1T and with a 5650lb trailer, range was reduced from 270 to 110 miles. They claim an 11000lb tow rating which would be even worse. That’s a huge hurdle to overcome. personally, I think they went the wrong direction with batteries built in and charging stations. Instead, hot swappable packs with swap stations.

Structure is important in lawmaking. And with the exception of a few legal terms that require minimal research to define, the majority of the code is relatively simple to decipher by anyone with a high school education (what should be the majority of our population). The issue is more likely that no citizen is willing to pour over the thousands of pages to know the full law, nor should they be expected to. simplification of law should be a matter of necessity for common understanding based on quantity, not verbiage. As to Worriedman’s point about people not doing anything, people are busy. I bet that the majority of people that would support this bill have no knowledge of it and if they do, it’s from a news source that misrepresents the bill. It’s not that they are malicious, but the American way of life leaves little in modern times for mass activism. You pick and choose what you can involve yourself in based on fitting around school and work and band practice and football games and shopping and karate and cheerleading and the plethora of other activities that families currently engage in. When something has little to no impact on that person’s daily life, they simply don’t have the time for it, even if they support it. Insulting these people won’t help. Friendly requests and reminders will. The majority of members of this board are part of the fringe group of gun owners. We represent a tiny percentage. And it’s prudent in our endeavors to remember such.

Range when towing is severely diminished.

Thanks. It’s a Ruger Hawkeye Long Range Target in 6.5creedmoor and the muzzle brake removed (per rules). The scope is a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25 in mrad mounted in Hawkins Precision rings on the factory rail. I’m shooting off of a Harris bipod and using an Armageddon gear rear squeeze bag (I forget the model but it’s the one developed with the guy from K&M precision). My ammo is Hornady Match 140gr ELD. Yes the match will get you qualified as long as you can shoot under 3 moa. Robby Miles is the match director and he can sign off on it. He did for me. But I was already qualified on 200 and 300. You might still have to do those but that should be easy if you can nail 600.

I don’t know. I know you can use a brake. But I don’t know about a can. I don’t think it would change class.

If that’s the case, my factory loads beat their hand loads. Benchrest is first Sunday with practice on the Saturday morning before. If we can make the same match, we should both be in factory together. Hopefully I get the chance to beat you. Haha

Thanks! Yes I am now 600yd certified. I know you said f class but unless you just want to shoot prone, shoot the benchrest match. It’s 20 rounds plus sighters so a lot less ammo. At least if that’s a concern for you. Then after you do that and are 600 cleared, less go shoot some.

The last time gas was this high the Republicans were in charge. R's and D's are just the same clowns in different rings of the circus. They aren't looking out for you, me, or us. They are looking out for whatever the agenda of the week is.

I shot my first rifle match yesterday and it was the 600 yard benchrest match at MSSA outside of Memphis. Previous to this I have shot at 200 yards once and 300 yards once for a total of about 20 rounds. I was quite nervous but the folks are friendly and quite reassuring. I really didn't expect to do well. I was setup on the line with guys running 10-15k dollars worth of fancy equipment. And I'm running an 800 dollar rifle with a 600 dollar scope off a bipod and squeeze bag with factory ammo. After the first two targets, I was leading the factory class with a decent margin. Unfortunately, on my fourth and final target, I crossfired on my last two rounds which resulted in a zero score target. Even with that, I managed to still be in the running for second until the last couple of rounds. My competitor finally found the 10 ring and I missed second place by 6 points. With only three factory shooters though, I still had a podium finish. It was a blast. When I got the targets back and started running the numbers, I would have finished the day with a 181-1x if I hadn't crossfired. It would have been good enough for first place in factory and I think it would have been the second highest score of the day across all classes. It was a great time. I loved it. I really want to do it again but my schedule likely isn't going to allow me to make the next monthly match. Get out and shoot folks. Its a great time. This was my best target of the day. That group measured 3.65" at 600 yards. The math shows that to be a .608 MOA group. I didn't even know that I was capable of shooting that small, much less my equipment that everyone says is crap. It's especially surprising that I was able to do that with a 25 power scope and every other scope on the line was at least 40 power. And they had rifles that are generally considered better than mine. Also, I've never cleaned this rifle. All of the things that people tell me I'm wrong about worked in my favor for at least that one day/target.

Thank God no one ever dies in a car.

The Geiselle Reaction Rod is fine if you are working on the receiver itself or the rail or a muzzle device. But if you are torquing on a barrel nut, it has nothing to hold the receiver in place. So it is possible and does happen that you will break a receiver at the locating pin hole. The MURR (midwest upper receiver rod) has a sail on top of it that keeps the receiver from being able to turn. Additionally, it can ensure that the barrel extension is not clocked incorrectly. The MURR is a better tool for less money. Bev blocks are okay but there are better tools out there. Remember, if it does a bunch of jobs, it's probably not the BEST tool for any of them.

obsidian arms has AR specific punch sets that I would recommend. DO NOT use the Geisselle reaction rod. Instead, get a Midwest Industries Upper Reciever Rod. Midwest also has a good punch block you can use. You really didn't tell us if you are assembling a lower or upper. Or both?

Ferrari is the same way. They sell a tuner for their techs to "tune" the belt to the right tension.

Done been did. At least in my opinion.

they base their stops off "matched the description."

as someone that just went to work for the local goverment and reports to work in a goverment building, I'd very much like something like this to pass.

Kinda, but not exactly. Lee was killed by a squib that was pushed out by a blank. It wasn't a live round in the purest sense of the term.

Those are typically Drug Task Force cars, at least here.

This is inaccurate. Barrel length and gas system length are not directly related. There are some rules, like don't run a rifle length gas system on a 12.5" barrel, but for the most part, you can find different systems on different barrel lengths. The truth is, a properly tuned system will work no matter what system you chose and what barrel length you chose. carbine barrel - 16" rifle barrel - 20" pistol gas system - 4" carbine gas - 7" mid-length gas - 9" rifle length gas - 12" Gas port size, gas port location, buffer weight and buffer spring are each a piece of a formula used to tune the gas system of a well built AR. A good builder will measure the gas port of the barrel that he has and use that to help determine buffer weight and spring combos. Here is some information from SOLGW about gas ports. They include what they use and what the TDP calls for.

Im NRA pistol and will get rifle sometime soon. I worked at our summer camp for several summers. I loved those days.

Both rifle and shotgun are still open at summer camp as far as I know. And I've been thinking about registering as a MB Counselor to teach them.

Well you won that day.
