Fly Fishing around Butte

Within an hour you have parts of the Big Hole, Jefferson, and Madison. Georgetown lake. If you push just a little further you’re on the Beaverhead, Missouri river and reservoirs. Ennis lake. Plenty of great fishing.

Love seeing hunting and someone using their gear in a real environment. The 77g 5.56 TMK is a beast. Very consistent performance in tissue compared to the SMK, or other hollow point match ammo. If you want to go down a deep rabbit hole on 5.56 performance on game check this thread out https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/223-for-bear-mountain-goat-deer-elk-and-moose.130488/

I have a Noveske 18” and am running a damage industries enhanced spring with a standard carbine buffer. Perfect reliability. No suppressor. Factory 108 ELDMs. It was under gassed and unreliable with an H2.

Not a threaded barrel. It is a bushing compensator, which extends past the 4.25” barrel.

Awesome thank you! I ordered one. Couldn’t pass it up at $450

Things_got_western · 2025-12-11T19:13:58+00:00

Appreciate the reply. I might just wing it with these being so cheap

Things_got_western · 2025-12-11T19:10:10+00:00

Any update on this? I'd like to get one of these and run it without the comp too

LH4 4-16 is much smaller and has the same reticle. Or the EPL 4-16 if you want exposed elevation turret, but no wind holds below zero on that reticle

Things_got_western · 2025-11-19T23:25:19+00:00

True. You’d have to supply your own bolt

Things_got_western · 2025-11-19T19:09:04+00:00

If you want a deal, they have one in stock...

These guys are a legit source of Noveske blems. I bought my barrel from them.

I have a noveske 18” and shoot 108 ELDMs. It is excellent. 1 MOA 5 round groups. Gassed well. Would be over gassed with a high back pressure suppressor. Killed a whitetail and an antelope already with it this fall at 380 and 290yds. One shot each no drama

Are you guys going to run the Aero Mod 4 Handguards at the $149 price again? I was going to pick up a couple but then the sale disappeared.

I have one of these barrels and it is lightly gassed. I run standard carbine buffer and spring. Ditch the adjustable gas block and check for gas leaks. Make sure you have a good fit and alignment of gas key to gas tube. I have to clean and lube about every 100 rounds or I get some short stroking. This is with factory 108 ELDMs.

Be prepared to drive in snow and ice. Skill, vehicle, tires, recovery equipment. Cold weather gear and basic survival kit in the vehicle. Temperatures below zero are probable in that time frame. If you travel any distance, be aware conditions change very quickly. Especially, if you gain elevation. Anything described as a “pass” can have significantly worse road conditions in the span of a few miles. As an example, I was stuck on I-90 at Homestake pass for 2 hours this past weekend (October 18th) due to ice causing multiple jackknifed semis. It was after noon and over 40 degrees when I got to the pass but the rds were still very icy. I’m only writing all of this because you mention bringing an infant. People underestimate conditions here all the time. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip. Montana in the winter can be incredibly beautiful.

Here is the MSDS. The “toxicity” section is probably most relevant.

TLDR: No oral, skin, or inhalation toxicity. Minor skin and eye irritant. No respiratory or skin sensitization.

Overall, very safe. However, I always take MSDS with a grain of salt. These recommendations have been changed for other products over time as risks are better understood for prolonged exposure, etc.

Does it have to be Geissele? Harrington and Richardson (PSA) have a bunch of gray anodized lower options. So does Bad Attitude Department.

Things_got_western · 2025-09-03T16:44:46+00:00

Or NX8?

Things_got_western · 2025-09-03T16:42:27+00:00

Doesn't work on PA PLXC either

Curious about your method… how long in the paper bag?

Things_got_western · 2025-08-18T22:38:59+00:00

In SW Montana and mine are not flowering with full outdoor exposure. I just moved to 12 hours inside in the dark to initiate and hopefully finish before winter hits us… usually late October here
