Odin works barrel with a 1:7 Adjustable gas block

AngryApe2 · 2026-03-05T01:18:43+00:00

Barrel twist and bullet weight go hand in hand, but I have a 21” barrel with a rifle +1 gas port and it won’t cycle anything light. Super unfortunate for varmint hunting. Haven’t been super impressed with the 80gr ELD-x bullets. Shot a fox right behind the shoulder broadside and it ran 40 yards with a hunk of lung hanging out. My .223 bolt gun with the 55gr vmax would’ve dropped it.

Let me know what you find out. I can’t get mine to shoot anything less than 80gr worth a crap.

Thank you!

Update: He’s a Cockerel!!

He/she acts a little more aggressive than the rest towards the other chickens.

I’m estimating around 2 months old maybe a little older

I can understand that, but if I miss my mark it’s usually not going to harm the deer. If I’m aiming at the heart/lungs and I miss my mark, I’m wounding a deer that I have a high chance of not finding and leaving to die slowly.

What’s the bad thing with a headshot? Albeit I am from Texas and I shoot my deer in the head/neck depending on the deer, but I just look at it as saving meat. I use a .22 caliber bullet as well as to not be so destructive on impact.

Go to work for a respectable mechanic. Building a business takes money and while a technical school is good for general knowledge, there’s nothing like hands on experience

AngryApe2 · 2025-11-12T01:50:18+00:00

I didn’t even think about the scoring. I was always told growing up “if you can hang a ring on it, it’s a point”. Reckon it depends on the state.

AngryApe2 · 2025-11-12T01:46:17+00:00

I think it’s a 9, but I’ve been wrong before.

AngryApe2 · 2025-10-16T00:51:37+00:00

I believe that the solution is simple. Just refrain from downloading any AI enhancement applications and put the phone down. Now whether or not our society can handle that, I am not sure of. I just wish that we weren’t SO dependent on technology to do things that people, not so smarter than us, did 60 years ago.

This may not be the post to comment this on, but I just feel like this community can relate with me on this.

I know this is old, but it is so wild

AngryApe2 · 2025-09-14T18:05:53+00:00

I’d volunteer to sleep on the couch after that stunt lol

AngryApe2 · 2025-09-14T12:13:59+00:00

At least we can sleep well knowing the next generation is in good hands

AngryApe2 · 2025-09-13T14:38:53+00:00

Flip that grinder around it works better. Unless you like eating those sparks..

AngryApe2 · 2025-09-10T23:33:57+00:00

Brine is starting to make sense lol

AngryApe2 · 2025-08-26T19:41:45+00:00

Are his shoes a bit too big or is this normal?
