• Possible Downtime Alert

    I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.

    When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.

    More information is available in this thread.

    As always, thanks so much for your patience.

    Older Post on Revolutionary War

    Hi all. Apologies - I’ve tried using a variety of search keywords, but can’t find what I’m looking for. A few years back, on July 4th, a member here published a series of posts in which he detailed events that lead up to the Revolutionary War. I vaguely recall that he was associated with some...

    300 PRC Rifle Recommendation?

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the info. Maybe the Element is the way to go after all. Could always use 200 grain Partitions with the Element’s 1:10 twist, which should serve well for heavy game in Alaska.

    300 PRC Rifle Recommendation?

    Kinda follow up on where this all came from. Went on a high buck and bear hunt in the Cascade Mountains in WA a couple weeks ago. Shots are typically 400+ yards. I hunt in various climates (TX, AZ, WY, WA), and plan to add Alaska to that next year (grizz and caribou). Need a rifle that I won’t...

    300 PRC Rifle Recommendation?

    Hi everyone. I’ve been hunting for a rifle for a few days now and note quite certain I’ve found exactly what I want. Hoping to be able to pick up some ideas here. Pretty straightforward, here’s what I’d like to find: • Chambered in .300 PRC (derp) • 22-24” barrel (will probably hunt with a...

    AK Fires regardless of safety position (mostly)...

    Thanks guys, we'll send it back. Good advice.

    AK Fires regardless of safety position (mostly)...

    I bought an GF5 AK with an ALG trigger from PSA. The gun functions great, no issues at all, except that it fires even if the safety is on. There's a small area between safe and fire where the safety properly blocks the trigger from being depressed, but if you move beyond that in either direction...

    Info? Universal Doublewing

    Hey everyone. My brother in law bought a shotgun (not sure from what sort of source but probably private sale). Haven’t been able to find much info on it. It’s in pretty poor condition, but you can make out Universal “Doublewing” 2018 12ga stamped on the rib. Left barrel stamp says made in...

    Safe to continue using this?

    Lol glad to hear it’s not just me. I’m a pretty big guy and I was concerned that if I hit them any harder, I’d bend the barrel or cause some other damage.

    Safe to continue using this?

    I didn’t want to unintentionally imply anything bad about the company based on my own lack of knowledge of the pins. I have a lot of respect for the company - not just their work but what they stand for. I’d rather not say, but if there’s some specific reason you’re wondering, shoot me a DM and...

    Safe to continue using this?

    Evidently a friend of a friend is an actual gunsmith, and said this is normal and how they’re supposed to be installed. Other than cosmetically butchering it (even though it will be hidden beneath the new rail), totally safe to shoot. Guess I’m officially a fudder of guns. For shame.

    Safe to continue using this?

    I've had an AR with A2 front sight and clamshell handguard for a few years, and finally decided to convert it to a free float rail. I had a heck of a time removing the gas block taper pins. I'm talkin two hours of trying to gently grind the heads of the pins and then tapping (read: banging the...

    That’s more info than I could have hoped for lol. Thanks a bunch.

    Thanks a bunch, that’s super helpful :)

    Concerned this might be unsafe

    I’m sorry, I don’t understand option 1 (eek). What do you mean by “with a collar?” Are those in the pic not threaded adapters? I sent a message to the smith asking about the 5/8-24 threads, but haven’t received a response yet. It seems like 9/16-24 would be preferred over 1/2-28? I really don’t...

    Concerned this might be unsafe

    I’ve got a Tikka 308 with a muzzle diameter of 0.650. I’ve done some research and evidently that diameter is insufficient to safely have the muzzle threaded 5/8-24. I learned that I can have my barrel threaded 1/2-28 and use a 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 adapter, and this seems like a good solution. I’ve...

    Why not magazines?

    I don’t want one, but that’s just because I don’t really use my shotgun much and didn’t see a reason for it. But I assumed that the military or LE communities who use the shotguns I was referencing in the OP would want more capacity. Now I understand why that’s not the case lol. Thanks for all...

    Why not magazines?

    Just came across a belt-carrier product designed to assist a shooter with rapidly moving shells from belt to shotgun, and it lead me to wonder why all the manufacturers of the world’s finest shotguns still use a tube feed design instead of detachable magazines. At least in shotguns designed for...

    Homeowner’s Insurance?

    I’m wondering if anyone here has had the experience of filing an insurance claim for firearms or related items after a house damage issue (flood/fire) or theft. Are these sorts of items commonly covered by homeowners insurance? Or are there specific insurance companies that I should inquire...

    Tip-Down Carry?

    Maybe my sorta-limited experience with different types of knives was a contribution to my naïveté on the subject. For instance, I’ve only ever owned fixed blade knives or “basic” folding knives with a lock-back design. Never owned a flipper, assisted-opening knife, etc. At any rate, I appreciate...

    Tip-Down Carry?

    As far as the possibility of catching the blade and cutting oneself with a tip-up knife, I can see how that might be an issue depending on the knife. With my tip-up Spyderco, the blade is facing my rear when it sits in my pocket. So even if it wasn’t fully closed, I couldn’t possibly cut myself...
