Day 21. Crickets. I have a Trust but, for now, the only person on it is me.

I have this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094W6GP2B?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details It's a little tight with the Area 419 Arca mount that I use but it fits.

I have one of the very early 8.6BLK barrels. I think they mass produced at the sacrifice of quality. Sometimes being an early adopter is a bad idea. There are many other people out there that say the same thing about Faxon 8.6BLK barrels. I have two... both look like crap on the inside. But...

Measure the OD of the skinniest part of the barrel diameter. My 8.6 Gunner measures 0.704" ish. I say ish because I didn't feel like taking the hand guard off and I'm not sure if the caliper reached below the taper. Subtract the .224 diameter of the bullet from that. Divide that number by 2 and...

Day 11 (counting weekends). Nothing. E-Form 4 submitted on 4/2

I'm fortunate to live less than 2 hours from them. I could have them ship but I enjoy going by there shop and talking to them. Besides that, who wants to wait on mail lol

Capitol Armory certification was very easy. I did it at work. It took maybe 5m. I had my long in name and password on hand. Everything else was click or watch him click. My info has been on file with them for about 2 years, maybe 3. I used to file with paper but the last two were e-filed. Both...

I currently only have me on my trust. I'll fix that one of these days. Seems like adding more people to the owner list would lengthen the time to approve. Maybe the anticipation of adding more people lengthens the time as well? E-filed today. 4/2/24. We'll see what happens.

I ordered mine Saturday and will complete the efile tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.

I have two Faxon grooved tubes (can't call them barrels) in 8.6BLK. They both suck. A borescope gets scared when you push it into the scarred depths of those things. The barrels both spray bullets all over the place. As the velocity of the round increases the "groups" rotate, much like when...

No doubt, this is the right answer imho. I put a prefit barrel on my Ruger Ranch. It was real easy. I swapped the slower twist factory barrel to a 6 twist so I can shoot heavier bullets. BUT, you have to get in a very long line for barrels, actions, and gunsmith services. I'm patient so I don't...

I just entered the testing phase... Order placed this morning. We'll see. Sales tactic or real deal.

Mine are all in trusts (one person) and I'm still waiting (6 months is the farthest out the I expect). If it's a marketing ploy it worked. Capitol Armory was out of most, if not all, Dead Air products when I checked a few days ago.

I reload .223, 6.8SPC, .300BLK, and 8.6BLK. I have quite a bit of .223 range brass. I deprime it, clean it, then I anneal the cases, all in batches. It'll sit in a bucket for a while then I get an itch to load "quite a few" and that happens on my Dillon XL650. The other calibers are usually...

Hogs get offended if you shoot them with a noisy gun. Be kind to hogs, shoot suppressed Ham operator: NE5U Photos
