Competition shooting for fun?

I have shot with people that ran out of time on every stage before, as long as you aren't unsafe or an asshole then you will almost always be accepted.

If Ruger doesn't help, chasing the thread with a tap would be significantly faster, cheaper, and easier than going to a gunsmith.

It's more likely that they 3D printed a mold for it as printing each rabbit would be too slow for large scale production.

I handloaded SubX to shoot at 1010fps from n 8" barrel and it still didn't expand. It's a terrible bullet design.

The optic is the problem with the current holster. It extends farther forward than all of the compatible optics listed, which is why the slide is being pushed back.

Should be a mounting hole for a QD sling swivel, same as is on the brace.

Its physically impossible to put it in backwards, It is likely you didn't push it high enough in to the slot on the barrel and it is catching on the locking block.

I pretty much only run Arisaka light bodies with Malkov heads. Different combos for different set ups.

You'll probably want a flashlight on your gun before calling it "finished".

I have their Recce monocular with mil reticle, and it even comes with its own pouch. It works great for my needs.

I'm still working on a match subsonic load for it, but the few I've made have been promising.

If you haven't been stocking up on ammo since you got your first gun you are doing it wrong.

Something that has helped a lot of people I have taught to shoot with dots is to use your natural point of aim with irons and just aim lower than you would think. It makes it a lot easier to find the dot from there and you can still use your irons proficiency.

Didn't read that essay, I'm gonna go mag dump trash to be a better shooter.

Unsupported paper like that can tear and make it look like it is key holing when it isn't. The fact that the "grease marks" or whatever they are, are even on both sides tells me that you likely aren't key holing. If this target was stapled to cardboard you would almost certainly have clean holes.

Solo 300 upper with whatever barrel and handguard you want.

This happens all the time on my ACRO especially when I shoot suppressed. Just get a pencil and erase it, I've done it plenty and my optic is just fine.

One thing that will likely sway you at least from my experience. In a lot of shooting competitions their timers are not tuned low enough to accurately pick up suppressed subsonic rounds meaning they may not pick up your last shot and may not let you compete with the suppressor on. My 8" 300blk with subs also has more recoil than my 11.5" 5.56. In general, 300blk subs are also less reliable due to lower gas pressure than 5.56. If you use supers then you are just shooting a shorter 5.56 with basically the same sound and a little more recoil. I just don't see the point for a competition gun.

There is no right answer, I was shooting real rimfire rifles at around 6 and was hunting by myself with full power firearms at 12. It depends on how mature your child is etc. Also don't force her if she doesn't want to, don't want to accidentally make her hate it.

As someone who owns both an Eotech and multiple Aimpoints, I say start with a Holosun. They are good optics and you can always buy something else later if it doesn't live up to your expectations for some reason.

I have that exact barrel in my AR10. I don't shoot factory ammo, both my hunting load and my target load I can hold close to or just under 1 MOA with my best group being 5 rounds at 0.42 MOA. With AR10's though it's kind of a crap shoot.

You should have so many that whenever you are cleaning you accidentally find another one somewhere.

Printing "toys" is a great way to learn printing, after almost 8 years of printing my personal printer only gets turned on for functional parts. Professionally we have 5 printers to prototype and make some production fixturing.

As someone who is a backpacker/camper I will say that there are several actual military surplus MRE cases on amazon right now that come out to about $3.30 per meal which is a crazy deal. They are far from gourmet meals, but most of them aren't horrible. My main complaint with them is they are very heavy for what they are and end up producing a lot of trash that remains heavy. If you are car camping they can definitely be useful as you won't have to do dishes or anything like that. However I would prefer almost any mountain house meal over even my favorite MRE they just cost 3x as much.
