I was told by a gunshop owner that if you hit a groundhog in the head only the teeth will survive the vaporization. He also said the velocity was over 4,000 fps. I laughed and told him he was thinking of the 17 Remington. He said no, grabbed a box of HMR and said it was these. I have read, but not confirmed, that the tiny round will pass through soft armor. This might be the reason there are no FMJ rounds available for it. Dolomite

I do believe it is against the law for a gun to fire more than one bullet with a single pull of the trigger. Not sure they have the triggers set up but if you have to pull both triggers at the at the same time it will be nearly impossible to do. I suspect either trigger drops both hammers and if it does it is illegal for us common men. That is the reason why there are no other double barreled guns with single trigger that fire both barrels. Standard double barrels have either two triggers or a single trigger that fires one then the other barrel. Dolomite

If I was going to buy a Windham I would choose the M&P Sport. The Sport is leaps and bounds better than the Windham. I will just give you a quick run down of the Sport and why it is such a great gun. 1. The barrel is a 5R rifled barrel. 5R barrels are known for their accuracy regardless of caliber. For whatever reason they just shoot and shoot well. It also increases the velocity by virtue of how the rifling is laid out. 2. The barrel is Melonite treated. Melonite treatments are far better than any chrome lining as far as hardness and durability. It also offers an exception amount of corrosion resistance. It is more than just a surface coating like chrome, it actually treats the metal and goes subsurface. 3. The bolt is properly heat treated. This is very important for the long term durability of the firearm. It ensures the headspace will remain in spec longer than those bolts that are not heat treated properly. Poorly heat treated bolts will either wear prematurely or break from being too brittle. 4. It has a barrel twist rate of 8 This twist rate allows you to fire the heaviest bullets that can be fed from a magazine, up to 80 grains. And because it isn't a 7 twist (like most others out there) you can also fire the lightweight varmint style bullets without fear of the jackets seperating. 5. It comes ready to fire. It comes with a Magpul rear sight while most competitors, even those 100's of dollars more expensive, do not. The sights have been proven for several years now both by those in harms way as well as the weekend shooter. It also includes a Magpul magazine which has also been proven for seveal years now. 6. It is built to the same specs as all other AR's This means you can upgrade and swap parts to build a gun that suits your wants or needs. And because it is an AR most of the work can be done by the owner and if it is a milspec part it WILL fit. 7. The price In reality if any other maker were to offer the same features as the Sport has they would be asking 100's of dollars more. The 5R barrel and Melonite treatment were once only offered on high end guns. And included in the price is a warranty that is among the best in the industry. Up until about 3 months ago the Sport flew under my radar. It wasn't until I was asked about them that I took a serious look at them. I have since become a huge fan of them and recommend them to anyone who wants a quality gun that doesn't break the bank. And if I were in the market for one I would buy a Sport. Dolomite

It should also shoot 22 lr pretty well with the 12 twist. Maybe even the 60 grain SSS Aguila loads. As far as how to assemble the stock, you have my number. Dolomite

Might be comparable at the muzzle but the 357 bullets are not as clean in the air as most 308 bullets. There is also a much wider selection of bullets in 308 than 357. Also, every build I do is on a Savage. Even though it is possible I don't think I would like a bolt gun in 38. If the bolt gun shoots I will be building a suppressor for it. It will cost me less than $100 in materials using 17-4 and 316 stainless. Dolomite

For our region the 7.62x39 is quite capable providing you choose the right bullet. Ballistics are comparable to the 30-30 which has been taking deer for well over a century now. Dolomite

A few more days, keep it up.

http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=13&page=1 Look at the posts by Tresmon. He has a lot of knowledge in this area. I have used his suggestions to reduce my groups by 50%. Dolomite

So I am getting ready to do some accuracy testing with my fresh custom build. It is a Savage chambered in 7.62x39 and has a 1" bull barrel. It is also threaded 5/8-24 for a can I will build for it if it shoots well enough. Why 7.62x39?, because it is good enough for what I want it for without the harsh recoil. The 208 A-Max is about perfect for the 10 twist barrel. According to calculations it will be stabile in flight but tumble i upon impact. Even if the velocity is only 800 fps it will still remain stabile. This is a dummy round I made. It has a OAL of 2.60" and is .01" off the lands. The actual ammo is Winchester brass loaded with Winchester magnum primers. It also allows me almost the full case for powder. And of course it will not feed from a magazine. I am going to be doing some ladder testing for accuracy. I am starting with 16 grains of powder and ending at 20.5 grains providing I don;t see signs of pressure before. The ballistician at Hornady gave me a starting load of 15 grains and a max of 19.5. He said the starting velocity is 1,450 fps but failed to mention the max velocity. A friend put the specs into Quickload and came up with a max of 22.7 grains. If I am still not seeing pressure at 20.5 grains I will load up some hotter stuff for more testing. Dolomite

Speaking of Sam's, they have the best pizza I have ever ate. Harby's Pizza here in Knoxville used to be at the top until that faithful day probably two years ago. I know Sam's is responsible for at least 10 of the pounds I need to loose. Dolomite

If you want rare find a Remington 580 or 581. I have been looking for another for over a year now. And anytime I bring it out most people have never seen one. They are cheap guns if you can find them. Mine has the best factory trigger I have ever felt. It feels better than most of the aftermarket triggers I have ever pulled and I have pulled a bunch. Dolomite

I will be there tomorrow. Going to hang out at the reloading section for a while. Come by and see me because it would be nice to chat it up. I'm the one with four legs. Come see me too Eric, it has been a while. As far as size it will take the average person 1-2 hours to walk through if you are looking at things that interest you. You can race walk through it in probably 30-45 minutes if the crowds aren't too bad. There is probably 20-25 rows and each row is about 100 yards long. There is a good mix of gun dealers, gear dealers and very little of the usual flea market stuff. It is possible to find deals as well. Just need to be on your toes with cash in hand. Dolomite

Windham is not in the same class as Colt. Dolomite

Precision Firearms in Seymour Here is the thread of their suicide. They have started hitting the shows lately. I have even spoken to them. And in speaking with them I bet the guy who wrote the email is the one missing all of his front teeth. He acts like a tough guy and that is probably why he is missing his front teeth. Someone has knocked them out for him. Dolomite

No. Between the bumps and the seated position it would put me in bed for days. Dolomite

I think this is a fantastic way to get information. Cells phones contain a lot more information than people realize. But I do have a problem with it. Problem isn't those who stay within the rules it is those who will use it to step outside of the rules. It will slowly be integrated into normal operations and at some point it will be the norm. "License, registration, proof of insurance and cell phone please" will become the saying when you get pulled over. Another big problem is society as a whole assume what LE tells you to do is on the up and up. Most times they are but even when they aren't people go along with it because they know no better. Hate to say it but criminals know more about the law than the average citizen. Dolomite

Try getting up with David. He is DLM37015 on here. He can probably beat the prices you are about to pay. Dolomite

Here is the link to the tones: http://www.scn.org/~bk269/zapper.html#zapper The actualy link was shortcutted by Windows. I have had my identity stolen as well. Someone ordered a bunch of tools from Sears to be delivered to an address in Waco, TX. They said they had a ship to address, a name as well as a contact telephone number for the person receiving the shipment. They had the delivery date and tracking info as well. Problem was they would not release the information to me. They said it was for privacy reasons they could not release their information to me. They knew and acknowledged that the order was a case of identity theft but still refused to give me any information. They did say that they would release the information to LE. So my wife called a the local LE and signed a warrant, giving them Sears information to get a name. Problem was that LE would not call Sears and get the person's information. I had a good LE buddy in Waco that said he could wait for the delivery but because of the local LE and Sears he had his hands tied. And on top of this the bank accused my wife of ordering the stuff then filing a false report to avoid paying for it. Me and the bank manager had a heart to heart on that call I made from Afghanistan. I would have paid airfare to have the scum put in jail locally. Being released from here with no friends or family around would have given him some of the pain I felt. Dolomite

Not using any program per se, just the same that my wife is doing. The biggest thing I changed is rather than eating until I am feeling full I make a portion that happens to be smaller and eat it. Then I generally feel full after a while. I have always been aware of what is good and bad for you and would always choose the good over the bad. Problem I had was portion size. Before the change I would continue to eat until I felt sick from being so full. But even then I would still crave more food. I still eat things I like just but nothing out of a can or a package. The thing I eat most is fresh chili. I use ~3.5 ounces of steak that is cut into cubes, a whole fresh tomato and a 1/2 of fresh onion. Cook it down and add chili powder. This makes for a filling meal that tastes better than any chili I have ever eaten out of a can. And if I want a little extra I will add more water then pour it over some toast but those are special treat days. Another big advantage is that meal is under $3. Because of the helicopter crash I am very limited on what I can do physically. Running, which I have always loved to do, is out of the question as is any type of weight lifting. I can walk but no more than 20 minutes at a time and even then it really bothers me a lot. Basically any repeatative motion that involved my back moving is out of the question. Dolomite

Well my wife is on a diet as well so that means I am too. I really needed to anyways so I don't mind and it is easier having someone else in the house doing the same thing. We help eachother make it over the daily hunger episodes. Before my helicopter accident I was a very active ~190 pounds. Within 1 year of my accident I lost a bunch of weight, dropping to 147 pounds. I lost most of it because my activity level went from very active to very sedentary. I had lost a lot of muscle mass and I can tell. Well at 147 my wife said I needed to gain weight because I looked so bad and that is when my feast began. I ate a lot and most of it was very bad and within I year I had made it to $175. Then about a year after that I was 195. And at that point I knew I needed to loose the weight I had gained or at least most of it. So 22 days ago we both embarked on our diets. During my time I fell victim to a jalepeno popper or two and chicken wings before settling into what I must do. As of today, day 22, I am down 12 pounds. I plan on getting down into the 150-155 pound range. Even if I do look sick I would prefer to look sick than be sick. Dolomite

I noticed the same problem when I tried to cahnge mine. I couldn't figure out why it would accept one and not the other. I finally settled on the picture even though it wasn't my first choice. Might want to hit the report button of your post so they can work on it for you. Dolomite

It is easy enough so long as you do not plan to shoot a suppressor/silencer. It would be very, very hard to get the threads concentric to the bore using a mandrel Dolomite

Thanks Makes sense. I hadn't heard anything lately other than those criticizing them because of the show. It is a sad deal when something like this happens because everybody suffers in the end. Those who buy the guns are going to suffer and eventually those at Red Jecket are going to suffer. They have probably not realized it is already too late. The 6 month wait for their products will go away the second they no longer have a show. That is because those who are waiting will cancel their orders when it is no longer to be part of somethign famous. I have often wondered if the drama isn't a result of the producers planting the seeds of doubt into the minds of those on the show. If you were to hear the same thing over and over again you might start to see it and perhaps this is why Vince left. I don't know if he was going to leave or not but the producers actions sure did not help. And I am sure the producers will use Red Jacket for all its worth then drop them like a hot potato leaving them to wonder what the hell just happened to what was a sucessful business. Dolomite

Why? Until their show hit the air they were well respected members of the firearms community. As a matter of fact if you asked for a AK smith you would get their name before most others. Just because the producers of the show have made their shop look like a madhouse, high school drama doesn't change the fact they are good people that make a good firearm. Dolomitw

What gun? What caliber? Cast can cause serious leading issues in Glocks and that can cause a spike in pressures. Other than that cast should work just as well as jacketed providing you get the right brinnel for what you are doing and keep it within a certain velocity range. Based on the brinnel there is a range the bullet needs to fall within velocity wise. Too slow and the barrel will lead at the chamber end and too fast it will at the muzzle end. The bullet needs to be soft enough to properly seal without being so soft it leaves the lead behind. I have bought and shot thousands of cast bullets. The biggest problem I had is the lube on most commercial bullets doesn't seem to help with leading. I took some Lee liquid Alox and lubed up some commercial bullets and the leading went away. So I would recommend using the Lee stuff on anything you might buy. If you do get some lead in the bore it is easily removed using a copper pan scrubber. I normally cut it in half and tie something around it then pull it through the bore. After two or three pulls all the lead is gone. This was before I started using the Lee lube. I now cast my own using wheel weights and so far it seems like it is doing very well. Dolomite
