    Ar15 in 6x45 or 6mm 223

    My barrel is 1 in 9 so I probably won't go heavier then 85gr. might try up to the V-max 87. Have to paper shoot some before I try them suppressed. Don't want to open my suppressor up with a tumbling bullet.

    Ar15 in 6x45 or 6mm 223

    I ordered the barrel from Blackhole Weaponry. And put it together myself. It is a Seekins SP3R upper with a 12in rail. I have the dies/bullets and lots of spent 223. I like that this isn't a fire formed round. You just press it to 6mm when you remove the spent primer. You don;t have to change the BCG, or the magazine. I basically wanted a 243 out of an AR15 platform without carrying my AR10. I have both a 243 and a 308 upper for my AR10 but it is such a heavy setup. I have a 10rd mag to carry when hunting so it doesn't interfere with the tripod. I have ammo that Les Baer had Blackhills load up, there are groups of people shooting this rifle. I didn't develop it. As for zombie attacks, I have 3 other Ars in 223 but good luck finding ammo at Walmart, then or now.

    Suppressors allowed for hunting in Az

    yes to recoil and YES to noise. Although I will deprive my son of being able to claim deafness when his wife wants him to take out the trash or other tasks. The 160+ decibel report of a rifle is rough on ear drums. Even with plugs or muffs you still get blasted with the sound waves and My suppressor only knocks it down to around 129 decibels. This next part is taken from a site dedicated to hearing loss. Even double hearing protection isn't completely effective. http://www.noisehelp.com/double-hearing-protection.html The total protection afforded can't be calculated from the protection levels of the individual devices, because they do not function independently (due to mechanical coupling effects). Also, beyond a certain point, it is not possible to achieve any further attenuation of sound, because even when the airborne pathways have been thoroughly blocked, sound will still be able to arrive at the eardrum by traveling through the skull, via bone conduction.
  9. Was talking with Amanda and I told her about the suppressor on the 308 I put together. Here is a short video of my 15yo (102lb) son shooting it suppressed. http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/sdking35/media/VID_20130410_155401_374_zps983b51ef.mp4.html

    I have a 1lb unopened bottle of R22 that I purchased to load my 300 Tejas. I since have come up with a different load. If someone is in need of R-22 I will either sell it to you for what I paid (28.00) for it or trade it for something. Im not hording powder at this point.

    Panic shoppers relax

    I don't know if this is the best place to put this, but here goes. I was in Merchant Firearms in Chandler today and they had new Magpul 30rd Ar mags for 15 each. They also had tons of Glock mags and tons of AR's. The prices were MSRP. Not inflated crazy panic prices. I picked up 2 boxes of Remington 223 55grn 50count for $34 each. I have seen other places charging 1.00 a round. Not much ammo for sale but lots of guns and suppressors. (now that they are legal to hunt with Im all about that life!)

    VORTEX DOUBLER??

    my anti double comment is based on $ I have spent on them. I had the Zeiss tripler for my 10x56s, then the Swarovski doubler for my 15x56s then a Jim White thinking it would be useful cause I could switch it without unscrewing the eyepiece. I wish I would have done more research before I spent $ on them. I sold the 3x with the Zeiss 10's when I bought the 15s, but they never worked well. I chalked it up to how they attached to the eyepiece, it was pressed into the cup. I figured that since Swaro made such awesome optics their 2x would be the same and it attached more securely. Wrong again. Then I opted for the JW, it wasn't terrible, but it still has the same problems of a 2x. On birder/optic websites you can find good reviews also. Here is one off of opticstalk As you probably already know, optics manufacturers have been making doublers/triplers, called barlow lenses, for telescopes for many years. That is my "only" experience with them, and based upon that experience, as you might already suspect, 2x & 3x gives a degraded image & a much smaller FOV. On top of that, you will be losing alot of available light & the increased magnification will really magnify the "shakes". If it has "any" value in a binocular, it certainly must be extremely limited, based upon the above consequences. I almost forgot, I also experienced 2x doublers when I was into 35mm photography, many years ago. For example, if you have a f8 aperture in a lens, it now becomes a f16, reducing the light transmission significantly. PERHAPS, in a 7x or an 8x binocular, (which is really quite a "low" power to start with), there is greater flexibility at these lower magnifications.

    Long Range Dink 1,243 yards

    Great shot Clinton, I'm impressed. Now to the real issue, why are we fighting between ourselves. If another hunter follows the laws, and harvests an animal with a legal method of take, we should support him or her. We do not have to hunt in that manner ourselves. I see it on so many forums. Lion/bear hunters that run dogs are upset with opportunity hunters that carry a tag in case they encounter an animal during an outing, or hunters that bash hunters that run dogs. When Nebraska began to allow spear hunting for big game, the Blogosphere erupted with hunters against it. Why give anti hunters more ammo. We do not know the preparation that all hunters put into their hunt. In my opinion, we should support each other, and keep hunting strong.

    Leftover luck

    I called, and got a Nov 8 Camp Navajo Archery Cow tag. I have hunted there 7 or 8 times. I won't put it as a first choice anymore but as a left over it is fine.

    Turkey camp 2013

    My son and nephews had a great time. Food was great. Mentors awesome. My son harvested his first turkey. Nephew didn't pull the trigger, but the amount of adrenalin he experienced was enough to get him hooked. (and part of the reason he didn't harvest, "I can't stop shaking" "Are you cold?" "no, just so excited!") I will work on my turkey hunting so I can mentor. Taking these kids out is better then harvesting my own animals.

    <<<6mmAR>>>

    Im building a 6mmx45. Is this its big brother? Bump with question.
  24. The bolt gun is in a Manners stock and I attached the small rail that is in the picture. When I get back home I will post the pics. I used a forstner bit and counter sunk the anchors just like Manners did. I had to use stainless machine screws because that was what was available at my Ace Hardware. Pics updated.
