    Shilen makes pretty dang good barrels. Updated with new pictures. Range Report Page 3

    Yeah, me too. If you order now the backlog is down to only a year. Maybe I'll be shooting mine by Labor Day... or Thanksgiving. 2023.

    Nah, 6.5x284.

    Shilen makes pretty dang good barrels. Updated with new pictures. Range Report Page 3

    I'm 15.75 months into the wait for a Krieger barrel. Here's hoping that it ends up worth the wait. Yours seemed to be worth the "premium".

    Best grouping 223 ammo I've found.

    If you're talking about the normal IMI 77 gr Razorcore stuff, it's not match grade, particularly. At least it doesn't shoot that way for me-- It's better than 55 gr. ball, but not the equal of say Black Hills 77 gr. match ammo... that stuff shoots great out of every gun with an appropriate...

  5. Best Self Defense Ammo for Subcompact .380

    Shootingthebull410 did a looooonnnnggg series of tests on Youtube to figure this out. Any of the 90 XTP loads was the winner (not HST, or Golden Saber, etc.). They don't reliably expand, an of them. The XTP pretty much does. Some loadings are better than other (containing the XTP). Look it...

  6. Why so many Scorpions for sale on ODT?

    I don't get the point without the select-fire.

  7. Realistically: Does anybody get good 12g slug groups at 100 yards, with a smooth-bore?

    You would think... but you're likely to be surprised. The group size doesn't just arithmetically grow in size like it mostly does from a rifle. It'll be larger than that, probably, from my limited experience. Slugs don't behave as well as spinning bullets do. Fun fact... rifle group size...

  8. SKS VALUE

    I know people that were in the Serbian war. Per them, the city fighters wanted AKs, but guys fighting in the country would gladly trade an AK for an SKS. You can get much lower to the ground with an SKS. Great guns for the price, back around 1990-- when Norinco steel core was $99/1200 rounds...

  9. Realistically: Does anybody get good 12g slug groups at 100 yards, with a smooth-bore?

    Well, I'm back from the range. Mine (or I) is/am not capable of softball sized groups at 100. These are at 50, and there are some .44 Mag (revolver) and .45-70 hits on there as well. Winner? Looks like plain 'ole Remington Slugger 1 oz. full power... But the Fed Tru-ball still looks good...

  10. Realistically: Does anybody get good 12g slug groups at 100 yards, with a smooth-bore?

    That may be as good as I'm going to get... other folks have done better though it sounds like. Well, I have five types of slugs to try. Don't have that full-power Federal though, only the "reduced" load. Slug availability is still spotty.

  11. Realistically: Does anybody get good 12g slug groups at 100 yards, with a smooth-bore?

    Because it's a defensive shotgun, and rifled bores are worthless with buckshot, which is the primary load. I'd still like to be able to cover my whole back yard though. And just neat to have a gun that really is capable of multiple roles.

  12. Realistically: Does anybody get good 12g slug groups at 100 yards, with a smooth-bore?

    Keep 'em coming. Sounds like some folks are getting good accuracy. My 3-gun shotgun will definitely do 12" groups at 100, with the fiber bead sight, but I am hoping for better using a red-dot.

  13. Realistically: Does anybody get good 12g slug groups at 100 yards, with a smooth-bore?

    Mine or others? : ) I'm going tomorrow or Sunday I expect.

  14. Realistically: Does anybody get good 12g slug groups at 100 yards, with a smooth-bore?

    By good I mean 6" or better for say 5 shots. And I mean around the point of aim (or at a known, expected point). Just wondering... I'm about to try five more types of slugs to find something that will improve over the 14" I'm getting with Fed Tru-Ball. These days that's $6-$15 of ammo for...

  15. There you go poverty pony lovers, anderson and its new rifles

    You guys really are going to convince me to change out the Anderson lower on my competition rifle for something better. : ) I'd hate to take it to a class and have the lower somehow break on me... which it sounds like is actually a possibility. The gentleman is right though about folks taking...

  16. There you go poverty pony lovers, anderson and its new rifles

    But not everyone _is_ getting burned. There's a price/performance continuum, and new people need to calibrate their budget and needs against that continuum. It's useful to hear about problems... and also about successes.

  17. There you go poverty pony lovers, anderson and its new rifles

    Dang, y'all are making me want to buy some name-brand uppers at triple the price... even though my Andersons have worked fine for many thousands of rounds.... maybe I got lucky. Good point though about re-sale... it's easy to buy another lower and just swap out parts to put a better name...

  18. There you go poverty pony lovers, anderson and its new rifles

    Is there anything wrong with their lowers? I mean-- $35... That's practically disposable. Updated: I see others are describing problems with the lowers. Interesting. I'll keep reading.

  19. Leather Holsters a Thing of the Past ?

    https://mitchrosen.com/products/holsters/ https://www.miltsparks.com/ https://www.kramerleather.com/ https://www.pcsholsters.com/collections/pocket-holsters Belts... Bigfoot for the money. Sparks sharkskin for exceptionally good looking that won't ever wear out (triple the price though).

  20. Leather Holsters a Thing of the Past ?

    Kydex is too poky for me... interesting about the safety factor of Kydex with safetyless guns though-- I haven't heard that before. Doesn't affect me though; I don't carry any guns like that. A high-quality leather holster is a thing of beauty, imparting a pride of ownership plastic cannot...
