• 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.

    Cobbling Together a Rimfire Silhouette Rifle

    For your stated purpose, with your stated intention of not buying a rifle, you need to quit bouncing back and forth among rifles. First, put the Henry and 10/22 aside. The Henry is incapable of the consistent accuracy you are looking for. The 10/22 platform is capable of shooting well, but it...

    Radial Delayed Blowback AR9 Questions

    I guess you guys missed the point of the question. I was asking about the closed bolt lock time. You can get a snappy running action without an overly long lock time. I'm just less experienced with blowback systems and was hoping I'd get someone that already did some experimenting. The...

    Radial Delayed Blowback AR9 Questions

    Hey all, I put together an AR9 a while back, using a CMMG radial delayed blowback bolt carrier group and 5" barrel. I did it on a whim and wasn't really overly excited about it. I put it together, it ran fine and I stuck it in the safe. Well, some sort of bug has gotten a hold of me and I'm...

    9mm ar15 narrel feed cone

    Have you tried loading less than a full magazine? Like 5 less than full. When you do that, will it feed all of the rounds? I'm still thinking it might be a spring issue.

    Scope for my new Mini 14?

    1-4x lpvo I got on YouTube and saw this.

    Scope for my new Mini 14?

    I haven't owned one in a long time, but I like the Mini 14. Slick, handy rifle and the optic should not detract from that. My first impulse was the recommend a little 1-3x weaver, but good luck finding one. Maybe a shameless plug, but I do have a Gen 1 Vortex PST 1-4x that I was gonna get rid...

    9mm ar15 narrel feed cone

    I agree with this. If you were having a compatibility problem, I would think that it would manifest itself when the magazine is the hardest to feed from, which is when it's fully loaded. If the last few rounds won't feed, they are likely nose diving. Which barrel are you running? If it is of...

    How much time do you spend behind your rifles?

    Well, due to my work schedule being an unknown most of the time, meaning that crap comes up at the last minute often, I usually can't plan a hunting or fishing trip without it falling through and I don't play golf. Besides that, there are very few things that I'd rather do than shoot. I have...

    Favorite FFP reticle for use on 2, 3 or 4 power?

    I haven't read through this whole whole thread, but wanted to comment about the Leupold Mark 4 2.5-10x. I have one with the TMR mil reticle. At 10x, the reticle is heavy. Much too heavy for precision work at distance while holding for elevation, but the center aiming point is fine enough and...

    Subsonic Super Scope.

    Shoot, if such an option was available, I'd be interested. Something with a good 1x and some magnification that helps out with holds of various loads would make things more simple. My current solution for my 300 BO rig is an ACOG with a red dot. The ACOG 300BO reticle provides holds for both...

    Dirty Chrome Lined 5.56 Accuracy

    How many rounds do you usually go between cleanings?

    Rifle Recommendations

    I'd go with the .44, unless I had a reason for going with the .45. If it's gonna be a gift for someone else, go with the .44.

    Dirty Chrome Lined 5.56 Accuracy

    Honestly, I don't clean my ARs. At least, not in the way that most consider giving an AR a cleaning. I'm not saying that what I do is proper or that ARs don't need to be cleaned. I'm just saying that over decades of running ARs, I've found that ARs are not finicky about being clean. With one...

    Favorite FFP reticle for use on 2, 3 or 4 power?

    I have 3 FFP scopes right now that I liked enough to keep. A 2-10x Gen II PST, a Leupold Mark 4 2.5-10x and a Nightforce NX8 1-8X with DMx reticle. Youre already familiar with the Vortex, so I'll leave that alone. The Leupold has the TMR reticle is actually pretty nice. The glass is very good...

    Tried a red dot magnifier for the first time

    I also just realized that you may have put the magnifier where you did to accommodate the backup sight. I ran into this as well and put the backup between the dot and magnifier or on the rail in front of the red dot. I know it sounds wonky, but dont knock it till you've tried it.

    Tried a red dot magnifier for the first time

    Hey, if you like red dots, but just need a little magnification, a magnifier is the perfect solution. When you said that the magnifier made headshots at 50 a breeze, you hit the nail squarely on the head. A magnifier is not going to turn your red dot into a long range optic, but it will...

    What is the difference in these 2 rounds:

    Well, the maximum operating pressure for 5.56 is about 58k psi and for .223 its 55k psi. I think 58 is bigger than 55. As for wall thickness, are you saying that all 5.56/.223 brass has the same thickness? I thought I pretty clearly said that differing thicknesses are more due to differences...

    What is the difference in these 2 rounds:

    From what I've seen over there years, there is no physical difference between .223 and 5.56 cases other than thickness variances more due to manufacturing than a difference between the calibers. 5.56 operates at a higher chamber pressure than .223. I'd go out on a limb and say that lake city...

    Magnifier Questions

    1. Generally speaking, adding a magnifier SHOULD not affect the zero of the red dot. Some magnifier mounts have a good bit of slop in them and they are, by design, intended to be mounted and removed at will as the need arises. This would not be possible if adding a magnifier affected the zero...

    Scope switching?

    I have a similar optic rig, just for testing. I use an Arken EPL4 4-16 in a semi QD mount. I dont bother zeroing it. I just use a big sheet of blank paper and shoot a couple of quick groups to see what the ammo/gun combo is doing.
