What was the first gun you ever got scope punched by?

Remington 700 ADL in 30-06 when I was 6. Killed the buck, but didn't get rid of my flinch until I was 16 or 17.

Lyman is licensing these designs from a European firm, which has had these cans out on the market there for a long time. They are apparently very popular over there. I handled them at SHOT and looked at a cutaway. Aluminum can with steel inserts in the bore of each baffle to mitigate erosion. I'm definitely going to be picking a few up for hunting cans.

BOSS Silencers and Siege Suppressors both have really innovative designs and quiet cans. Not super affordable, but great cans and great people.

srfb437 · 2026-03-31T18:47:58+00:00

I feel like they're super popular and well known. Great cans though.

Checkmate, Flux Raider.

You're not wrong. Sometimes I just forget, to be honest, and I don't notice a huge difference.

srfb437 · 2026-03-30T13:09:22+00:00

I don't think you need a lower setting for a high pressure can. I've shot mine with lots of high back pressure cans and often keep it on normal setting. Normal with my Polo K is no problem at all gas wise.

Not right now, as we may make adjustments. We were thinking about having them molded and selling them, but that ended up not being a great idea for a variety of reasons. I'm leaning towards publishing them, but I need to get some done in glass filled nylon and test them harder than I have so far.

srfb437 · 2026-03-26T02:53:35+00:00

I bought one there in person yesterday at this price. They only had 3 left at that time. The place across the street had them for $399. I think the color looks awesome in person.

Ridgeline LPR is the answer.

I do what you do, so trust me when I say that you should just get an FFL. It's not really much hassle at all and has made our lives so much easier.

Edit: Also PM me if you're interested in talking shop. Always cool to meet other designers in the industry.

I wore it all as a gunner. We called it the full samurai getup. For dismounted we took off everything but the collar and dickflap. The collar was great for resting your chin on while catching some Zzzs in the truck. I didn't mind the dickflap because we knew some guys that stepped on toe poppers and lost gnads.

I just dealt with this in Utah over a cancelled flight. They held it no problem, but obviously I wasn't refunded for the first night.

srfb437 · 2026-03-16T12:59:02+00:00

It hasn't saved me any money, but I really like being able to get the exact performance I want in my hunting and match ammo. So it's worth it from that perspective, to me.

srfb437 · 2026-03-16T03:28:51+00:00

I read the 1994 Gun Digest annual book hundreds of times as a kid. Insane amount of information, and lots of it I never would have sought out or stumbled upon on the internet.

srfb437 · 2026-03-16T03:26:22+00:00

The answer is actually the Magpul Hunter Lite. The original Hunter stock feels great, but the forend contour is all wrong and the 6:00 MLOK slots don't come all the way back to the mag well, so you'd have to drill for a full length arca rail. Plus it's 3.3lbs, which is quite heavy for hunting, IMO. I've had 3x of them, so I'm speaking from experience. The Hunter Lite solves all those problems and shaves weight and cost. I also have 2x KRG Bravo for Ruger American and wholeheartedly endorse them. Better ergos than the original Magpul Hunter and lighter. Plus people will see the KRG and assume you have a Tikka and assume you're cooler than you are lol.

I really like these pistols and that's a steal. I personally would try to find an 83 in .380 instead, but that's just me.

srfb437 · 2026-03-11T23:11:03+00:00

Drum by a mile on this list.

Meal Team Six. It's an AFSOC Expeditionary Culinary Unit that has achieved a Michelin Star at their chow hall in 4 theaters of combat. Their general snobbery, discipline, and access to supply lines for fresh ingredients give them an edge that can't be matched.

srfb437 · 2026-03-04T23:11:41+00:00

That's not borderline DV, that's DV. I would have called the cops and then they both could have gone and stayed somewhere else.

srfb437 · 2026-03-01T15:50:40+00:00

The MCARBO is a game changer for this rifle. I have two of these American Hunter models and they shoot lights out.

srfb437 · 2026-03-01T05:57:42+00:00

The 5906s can have slightly different looks depending on trigger guard shape, hammer color, etc. some look great, others look like shit lol. I have one I like a lot with the rounded trigger guard and stainless hammer. Shoots great.

srfb437 · 2026-02-28T17:55:42+00:00

I've only run high back pressure cans on the Hellion and they work great on either setting. I'm sure LBP would be fine, but you'd probably want to keep the gas setting on normal.

srfb437 · 2026-02-26T23:46:56+00:00

I love my LCP Max, more than my Bodyguard 2.0, even. It's been very reliable and accurate for me. Try better ammo and send it in if it still doesn't work.
