THE RZA Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 There’s actually 20 Million braces owned right now, and that’s just the sales figures from SB Tactical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Wow, had no idea it was that many. Just imagine the ATF trying to process that many NFA applications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I wasn't really liking the low scope rings on my Tikka, so I switched to high rings and took it out and re-zeroed this morning. The high rings definitely made it more comfortable, and I was more consistent with my cheek weld. Shot a 223/250 on the USBR target this morning, which is a personal best. I think I'm ready for my first match next week. For those unfamiliar, the USBR target is used for rimfire benchrest competition at 50 yards. There are 3 sighting targets at the top, and 25 targets for score with 250 as the possible score. You get 20 minutes to shoot one shot on each target. Sounds easier than it is... My 223/250 target (the 'C' is my designation for tracking which ammo I was shooting): To give a better idea what you're shooting at, here's a dime and .22 round for size. The tiny ring in the center is the ten ring, which is .100". Literally like driving tacks. This is a fun change from the USPSA/IDPA type stuff I've been doing over the last few years. You really have to work on techique and consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Wow, had no idea it was that many. Just imagine the ATF trying to process that many NFA applications! Last december they had a registration to register them as SBR’s for free. Which if you had a gun you really wanted to SBR but didn’t want to pay for the Stamp this was the way to go. I used it to register a 16” rifle and 2 stripped lowers that I plan to build in to SBR’s eventually. Thanks ATF for saving me $600 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodan Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Picked up a Sig P365XL for a red dot carry piece, and mounted a 507K. Pretty impressed with it so far... I've never been much of a Sig fan, but gotta admit they knocked it out of the park with the P365 family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just an intent thing waiting for comments and it was retracted in December. Only to resurface recently. I haven’t heard of anyone registering their “braced” pistols into free sbr stamps. You actually have three stamps in hand?

chowser51 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I've been scouring the net. Haven't heard of anyone doing it. I just did an eform last week to SBR my Banshee. Paid my $200 permission tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowser51 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 eForm 1 trust, one responsible party. filed 06/16, prints mailed 06/17, arrived 06/21. approved and pdf in hand 07/09. examiner Carol Ripley. 3 weeks. Now my Banshee sbr is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) 3 weeks... amazing. Though there's no reason a Form 4 should take any longer than that, and any Form should be same day with electronic submission. Edited July 9, 2021 by rodan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodan Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It's the light... those pics came out very 'golden', not sure why. I've taken many other pics under the same lighting without that result. Here's the Model of 1905 Target in straight 'white' lighting: This gun was made in 1920. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It's the light... those pics came out very 'golden', not sure why. Looks like white balance was off when the pic was taken. Perhaps the camera was set to "Daylight" instead of "Incandescent" or "Auto," or perhaps auto white balance was confused by a lack of pure whites or blacks in the image.

rodan Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Ready for Zombieland!! Been wanting to try one of these for a while, and finally found a decent price. Magpul D-60... probably just silly, but may not be bad on a grab-n-go gun. Need to get it out on the range and see if it runs, and if the extra weight/bulk is a deal breaker. Apologies for the fuzzy pic... damn cell phone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodan Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm getting ready to go down the rabbit hole of a 6.5CR long range rifle... Anyone have first hand experience with Tikka T3x vs. Bergara Premium rifles? Read lots on the various forums, just curious if anyone here has any input.
