    SCI Convention 2026 - Who Is Joining Me?

    Just curious if the Convention Center is anywhere near its max capacity on Friday and Saturday? The evening events and concerts occasionally sell out at events like this, so it's always better to plan ahead. Also, in my opinion, if it's your first time in Nashville and you haven't been to the...

    20 gauge slugs on game?

    Killed truckloads of Deer with 12 and 20 gauge slugs when I was in my teens. Back then only a few shotguns were available with rifled barrels. It was smoothbore barrels and front bead sights for most of the guys I hunted with. Fifty yards was as far as most of us were able to hit a gallon milk...

    AH hats for SCI 2026 Get Together

    Although I really liked the Carhartt hat, the lowest price I could find was $35.99 each before embroidery, so I went with a light brown with brown embroidery. The Olive with Gold made the grade this year also. This is the light Brown. Last year, the company I ordered from was not willing to do...

    Things you survived, but probably shouldn't have

    Depends. Static-line jumps with round parachutes, it's scary, but you are going to descend which keeps the parachute inflated. High altitude Freefall parachutes are more like an aircraft wing, and need forward (horizontal) speed to stay inflated. HALO jumps at night are especially dangerous...

    Things you survived, but probably shouldn't have

    This is what my scariest moment looked like. With over 3,000 jumps, odds are it's going to happen from time to time.

    Anyone tried putting a suppressor on a BAR

    I called one of my old friends that is familiar with these rifles and suppressors. I assumed that your rifle is a MK 1 or MK 2. If so, your older BAR series MK 1 or MK 2 uses the ported gas plug method of regulating gas flow to the piston. A ported gas plug in the side of the gas block bleeds...

    Hammer Bullets Fur Hammer. The perfect Tiny Ten bullet?

    Depending on what weight you prefer, something like might be worth asking Steve if he could make a batch in the Fur Hammer configuration. https://hammerbullets.com/product/284-cal-143gr-hammer-hunter-2/ I think part of the problem with all copper bullets in a long pointy sharp nosed...

    Anyone tried putting a suppressor on a BAR

    That's exactly why I think the OP's BAR would be such a challenge. AR-15 and AR-10/SR-25 parts are common and relatively cheap, and even then it's still not easy to make a rifle work the first time. Adding a suppressor is a common thing on AR rifles, and the changes needed are well understood...

    Wonder what the remaining weight is after the petals are gone?

    Anyone tried putting a suppressor on a BAR

    Gas operated semi auto's are equipped with suppressor's all the time, BUTT the gas port size, bolt weight, recoil spring weight, etc , all have to be changed. On AR type systems, an adjustable gas system is the first step, followed by springs and bolt weight changes. To do all this to a...

    Hammer Bullets Fur Hammer. The perfect Tiny Ten bullet?

    I think if we ordered a batch large enough to make it worth his while, it could happen.

    Arnhem Land Australia - 3 Bull Buffalo Cull Hunt US$10,500

    Are Crossbows legal for hunting in Australia? I looked at your website and read the section on Bowhunting, but didn't see Crossbows mentioned.
