Well.....Thank you for teaching me how to internet! I saw that last night - even created an account, but didn't quite figure out that creating a ticket was how to ask a question. I guess I thought that was for returns. |
This is NO dress rehearsal, we ARE professionals, and this IS the big time.

It is a pretty goofy set up for sure, probably done by whoever they contract with to make their website, but Glades is good people in my book and I am sure they will take care of you. and answer aany questions you might have. |

We will see how my color profiles work out green stock with grey and brown stripes? it is kinda interesting how the boyds tri colors flow |

HOLY SHIT, these things are stout! I have no qualms about the quality of the mini-30 mags |

That rifle looks awesome! I have a few rds thru mine, shoots good, and now ready to submit the F1. Who do you guys recommend sending the barrel for cut and thread? |

I’m trying to decide if I want to take my Trash Panda off my 11.5 inch Ranch 7.62xCommie and replace it with my Surefire RC2. Anyone have any ideas? Both sound fine but my RC2 generally lives on my Model 7 .308 but I’m thinking about dedicating my Trash panda to my 8 inch BLK AR SBR and getting another RC2 or other .30 cal suppressor for my .308. Open to any decent .30 can. |

I wouldn't stand in front of a piss-filled supersoaker. Does that make it a good pistol? - Caboose314

| Been fiddling with my 300BO RAR while I wait for my scope to arrive. I love the adjustable trigger. There's barely any travel to the trigger, and you can really lighten it up. I'm impressed, can't wait to get this thing out. The fact that it will be the end of the year before my can is free is criminal. |

It needs a feed lip shave on a magpul 10 rounder a usgi 30 feeds ok I wish they had touched up the colors after they pulled it of the shaper  it kinda has that all ready been down the driveway look |

Thought I would share. Getting it ready for longer range zeroing. I still have not finalized the scope mount. Went to put the gun in a hard case, and went to take the bolt out. No joy, bolt handle was obstructed by the eye piece. Crap! I was able to get the rifle into the case, and grabbed the torque driver. Got to the range I RSO at, and luckily nobody was there to shoot. I loosened the rings and slid the scope forward. Still not enough, I had to screw in the eye piece focus ring. That worked. If I used the GLX one piece I'll need the tall riser from Magpul. Does anyone know if the bolt can be removed with the tallest cheek riser? If it can I'll order that, or source some lower rings and attach to the pic rail. I'm extremely happy with the gun and the PA 4-14 FFP scope. Granted this is only 50m, 62gr solid core penetrators that are hand loaded. Attached File Attached File Attached File Only 30 rds were fired. I shot into the berm to get closer, then onto the plates. The right plate is the last 10-12rds. STRONG right to left cross wind. Took two of my trees in the back yard, which I discovered when I got home. |

I'm considering picking up one of these rifles in 7.62x39 to use on hogs and plinking. I have lots of mixed ammo for it, mainly the cheap steel case stuff like Tula, Red Armory Standard, Wolf, etc. Is there any type of ammo that this rifle does not like? I had been looking at the PSA KS-47 but now considering going with the Ranch rifle. Any advice would be much appreciated. |

I had been looking at the PSA KS-47 but now considering going with the Ranch rifle. Any advice would be much appreciated. My 7.62x39 ranch has shot all sorts of steel case without issue. The steel case is limited in accuracy by the quality of the ammunition. I would expect to something between 2 to 3 MOA accuracy out of steel case. |

Help relieve me of my ignorance: I have a recent model RAR in 450 BM that came with the proprietary mags. I have a spare AR magwell I installed to replace the ruger mag magwell. Should work? I cycled one round from an AR mag was and it fed ok. |

I shoot across state lines and it would be easier in the long to do the perm can. |
