If it isn't too late.... research what he said. ^
Lots of reported problems with them, I believe due to changes made to the comfortech stock. I've an SBE and an SBE2 that I recently bought, specifically avoiding the 3.

This thread is kinda funny. Most of you guys are blaming democrats for everything going to hell? Who is president again and who has the senate majority?
Did I miss the Senate vote on if we should have riots?
I did see Chuck and Nancy front and center bowing to protestors.

I was a ways behind a boat trailer on the Thruway once, a four wheel trailer. The front left tire did the boogie-woogie and came off... and was immediately run over by the rear tire. Then it did the most amazing thing, it shot about 100 feet straight up in the air. It was the most amazing thing. I was the passenger and my brother in law was driving, he didn't see it happen. As the tire reached the peak of it's arc, I was pointing at it unable to get my brain to describe what I was seeing. I sort of made noises like Lou Costello did when he saw the mummy or Frankenstein. lol (you know, I couldn't seem to get the words "by the way, there's a tire hovering 100 feet in the air and we're driving straight at it" to come out)
It came down as we got closer and it did the football bounce all over the highway changing lanes with each bound. We swerved from one lane to the other then back to the first as it went flying right by the right of us about 700 thousand miles and hour! Wow! Man I wish there were dash cams back then.

They were suppose to have a peaceful protest near my today but it got cancelled at the last minute due to rain.
That's dedication to a cause! I thought this was about saving lives!
I guess they realized protesting something that happened in another state 1200+ miles away and already has the outcome you want, isn't worth getting a little damp over.

Where does the law say "except when it's broken apart"?
It's "no longer a functioning firearm" (where does the law say that as well?) right off the bat, it's empty, if it were functional you wouldn't be reloading it.
Basically this modification changes the gun from having to push one button to drop the mag, to pushing two buttons to drop the mag. I don't think I'd risk my freedom, future, home and meager life savings on the legal advice of some guy in a Brownells ad.
Laws should be taking in their strictest interpitation , as read by your worst enemy.

It's legal to shoot looters in some places.
And these people protesting and rioting because of a crime that was committed in another state.
So applying their logic, it should be okay for me to shoot looters!
Or, using their same logic, people totally uninvolved with the looting??

I was cornering the market with innovative "hammock hunting", but put the project on hold, I figured I'd either fall asleep and wake up in the dark, or shoot myself in the foot.

"WTF" is "Any excuse is a good enough excuse." The poor guy getting killed is just the latest excuse.

Yep they're regulars now on my trail cams by the cabin, along with fox and coyotes.
Also had a surprising amount of raccoons this past week. I rarely get them on my usual cam spots, but last week every mouse I caught went out in the yard on a rock in front of a cam. Raccoons eat every one of them.
My last day out I found turkey egg shells nowhere near a nest, someone had a snack.

I would like to buy it and can go as high as $4k!
Maybe.
If you give me a couple more weeks.
If not, I can go as high as $3200.00

Yup, you're a dead man. Best to burn the house down while there's still time to save the neighbors.

I have a trail cam that isn't even a cam. It just counted every time "something" went by. I saw it in my basement the other day, I was shocked I still had it.
I need to buy a card reader and pull cards. When I just had my original digital cam, I never left it out long term, a few days to a week at most. When I started leaving them out for months and bought a second cam, when I went "upda camp" I just swapped cams. That became my norm, even as more cams followed. I'm still not sure why I do it, I could have twice as many cams out if I'd just buy a card reader and a few more cards. lol

Sunday was probably the perfect example of my hunting history... or maybe my life in general. lol I got up an hour early and drove to a state forrest I'd never been in, just to do something different. In the woods well before light. Sun up brought little change. A fox screaming, bumped a big doe, but no turkey sounds. My calls brought no replies.
After two hours I got back in my ride and headed to my usual stopping grounds, public & private land. I stopped at the first spot, killed the engine then sat there for 15 - 20 minutes. Then got out quiet and made some calls. 10-15 minutes, no replies. I repeated this in three more locations on my route back. (internally displeased with myself for doing what I would frown on someone else doing, not quite "road hunting", but dang close.) Four spots, no joy. Time to head back to camp and take a nap. Down the mountain and up the hill, I pull into the "driveway" to camp and sonofabitch if there aren't three birds in the yard! Ahhhh! Yup, story of my life. lmao
Monday was overcast, breezy and just a beautiful day in the woods, the lack of bugs due to the breezy made it so. I decided to wrap in up on high note and call the season done.

Day 8 of total silence, it's bizarre. Not in "all my years" has this happened , nor have I ever spent this many days after spring birds.
Silent in terms of turkey. All in all it was very load today, I wish it would've be quiet. I heard a dog bark like mad for a half hour straight. At a crazy fast rate, especially for how long it was. Then once he slowed down I could hear another noise. At the distance it was, I wasn't sure at first if it was a hunters bad yelps or what? Then I realized it was I high pitched raspy bark. Probably a coyote playing with the dog driving it nuts. They exchanged barks for another half hour. What a racket. But I can't believe someone would let their dog bark non stop for an hour.

A 2-3 pair of pants, several shirts, plus socks, jackets, hats, head nets, boots, day packs, times two people.

Good info. (because I'm about $50 into Sawyers already this year and it's only May)

I'm puzzled. If the 308 buffer is shorter and the 308 tube longer, why would you need a shorter spring? If you had the wrong spring, wouldn't the spring be too short instead of too long?

It's funny, when people talk of "advancements", they mean making things easier.
This got me thinking about a discussion/argument I had about "advancements" in long range shooting. All the new tech and gadgets, modern scopes, rifles, cartridges that all make it easier for less skilled people to do. That doesn't sound like an advancement in long range shooting to me, kind of the opposite. The analogy I used was the "electronic bugle." The device they use at military funerals that plays Taps, while a guy pretends to play the bugle. Would you view this as an advancement in bugle playing?
Long range shooting, bows, muzzle loaders... by advancement we mean the watering down and eventual loss of the very reasons we started doing it in the first place. Because it was difficult and took skill.

When you make a 30 minute episode, dont kill anything and still enjoy the episode, that's when you're doing it right.
I think the first episode I ever saw was one where he didn't get anything, I thought "Hmm... this is something different. "
Probably one of the most talked about episodes by folks is the one where he doesn't shoot the bear.
When I tell people about the show, I describe it as 75% hunting show, 25% cooking show.

How about the long legged one to the right ?
That's Elliot, he's a little off, we don't talk about him.
I think the beak is too short to be a Snipe, and too long and flat to be a Rail. I'm un-identifying.

FWIW... Carlson's (and this is not an knock on them, I have many hundreds of dollars worth of their chokes and have had them shorten and choke a barrel)... Carlson's sells a lot of stuff under different names, that's not that different from other things they sell. For example, their "Buckshot choke" is just an extended full choke with ports. I have a gun with thin wall chokes and a thin wall turkey choke. I saw them selling all these TSS marked chokes and enquired whether or not it was safe to use TSS in the one I already have (which says no Hevi Shot, no steel). I expected them to say no, but they said all their chokes, thin wall or otherwise where fine for TSS. (which surprised me) So in reality, just because it says TSS, that doesn't mean it will work better than another choke with your gun and load of your choice. The only way to know is to try. The reason I gave up on new chokes, and started buying used on Ebay and Gunbroker. (and why I have some for sale now.) Try em, goodbye em.

jukar .45 cal long rifle
in Muzzleloaders
Posted · Edited by cas
Considering the age of the rifle, it's probably a slow twist for round ball.
I have to edit my post. Junkar made rifles were still being made/imported a lot more recently than I realized.
Answer is still the same though, what's more accurate is the best choice IMO. What the twist is will dictate that to a large degree. Twist aside, as much as I like traditional round ball, with the .45, the added weight of a conical would be welcome.
