The worksharp one?


Yessir

Worksharp makes it for Benchmade and BM adds a few dollars on it. When I bought my Benchmade originally, I don’t remember having an option for the regular Worksharp one but I might have missed it.

Yeah, a 9” can sounds miserable.

My dogs love guns… hate fireworks. :dunno:
I liked mine so much I got another one. The one without the Benchmade name is $40.

Based on the longer footage, I think she has a case for self defense, but she may have to prove it in court. A man, even unarmed is a reasonable threat to great bodily injury for a woman, especially when he’s so mad he’s not backing down with a gun pointed at him.

I don’t think he’s too worried about ROI.
Silencerco omega 36M.

I’ve only shot it a few times. It’s certainly louder than my 308 with an omega 300. I don’t know if I’d notice a difference in sound compared to the rugged, but I’m happy with it.

ETA: I liked the shorter and lighter configuration of the 36m vs the Hybrid 46. I doubt I’ll run it in the short configuration with 35 whelen.

FYI, you can get $250 credit for the silencerco website with the purchase of the omega 36m right now.

Well yea, but that isn’t a concern for toddler safety.
I’d bolt it down. Unless you’re in a rent house I don’t see the downside of it. It makes it safer and also makes it more secure. A strap or cable like you mentioned will likely work for what you want but it’s going to look janky.

FWIW I don’t think I could tip any of my safes over if I tried.
Fresh water rinse asap. Salt away doesn’t hurt either.

:dunno:

It seems to make a difference at my house, and my yard stays covered up with bees and wasps after they come spray.

If I still had mine, I’d sell it again and buy something else :lol:

Came here to say this. My parish does the same.
That reminds me of a review I read the other day. Some guy was unhappy with a gun store and left a bad review because he wanted an AR and he traded his prodigy 2011 in for a Bear creek 300 blackout upper with and Anderson Lower. :lol:

All you see now are AR15's and Glocks for sale.


The last time I went to a gun show, there was one table with some stag ARs, and another with some DPMS. Times have changed :lol:

They weren’t trying to cut any deals back then either.
I have not noticed a change in accuracy after adding a suppressor on any of my rifles. You’re probably going to want to focus on finding a short suppressor for that 20” barrel though.

ETA: I should mention that a thinner, longer barrel will be more likely to have a change in accuracy if there is one, but it’s likely not going to be a problem for a hunting rifle.
It’s a crap shoot, but for a bit of info that I’ve picked up… GM 10 speed is better than the 8 speed and has fewer issues than the Ford 10 speed despite being the same transmission. Also, stay away from GM 6.2L.

not a practical buy


At this point, nothing I buy is practical, no matter the mental gymnastics I do to convince myself otherwise :lol:
There’s quite a bit of factory ammo available for the 280 ai right now, considering.

I was very close to buying one, already bought a couple boxes of ammo… but I decided to go another route. Alloy casings change everything.

I guess you’re actually right, the .280 can’t be a fad cartridge because unfortunately it never got popular to begin with.
