That TC Compass in 6.5 CM will be good out to 1,000 yards no problem. Really depends on budget and ammo. 6.5 CM will be easier to shoot and of course cheaper and you have plenty of ammo options and tons of brass options if you are a reloader. Believe me, 6.5 PRC is surely fun... but you are not going to be shooting it as much as 6.5 CM. You are talking about about 40 grains of powder for 6.5 CM, same as 308... vs nearly 60 grains of powder for 6.5 PRC. Then of course, depends on budget and what you are looking for. But... go buy a TC Compass or a Ruger American in 6.5 CM and have fun at 1,000 yards as both will be sub MOA stock.

Um... recoil is not less than .308... 6.5 PRC is a pretty big round and unless you have a very heavy rifle, you will still feel it. Big point of considering is if you are going to reload it as well. 6.5 projectiles are about the same price as 308 so that is a wash. Powder wise, you are using slower powders such as H1k which are going to be a bit more expensive. Brass right now is the sticking point with only ADG and Hornady making good quality brass. As far as 6.5 PRC vs 6.5 CM... unless you are shooting past 1,000 rounds, OR are hunting at past 500 yards, 6.5 CM is all you need and it is cheaper. You can find the ELD match for about $35.

Video premier in about 15 mins. In Episode 5 we take a dive into the recently released 6.5 PRC round, or 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge, thought up by George Gardner of GA Precision and developed and brought to market by Hornady. Included is an introduction by Neil Emery speaking about 6.5 PRC and the new for 2019 300 PRC which we will take a look at shortly. In our upcoming videos of the precision rifle series we will look at the Ruger Precision Rifle in both 6.5 PRC and 300 PRC along with the Ruger Hawkeye Long Range Target in 6.5 PRC, all three guns which I had an opportunity to shoot at distances up to 2,300 yards at the Ruger media event at FTW Ranch in Texas.

So one related and interesting note was Amazon... offering police departments a way of getting more surveilance by giving discounts on the Ring doorbell. If LEO wants your footage, they can just go ask you first without having to ask for a court order. https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-ring-video-doorbell-map-police-departments-with-access-2019-8 https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/08/five-concerns-about-amazon-rings-deals-police

Even though I shoot plenty, the lubricant doesn't really make a difference to me. Been cleaning and lubing with Hoppes for a long time and has not failed me in over a decade. (wow, I am starting to sound like an old Fudd). I am now looking at stuff that is cleaner or natural. Almost anything is better than nothing. Just don't away your guns back into the styrofoam cases really wet... you may come back to find some new rust spots or stains.

Ah good stuff! @DirtyDigz and @dajonga came with his son. I had my guns there for people to play with as well and generally just hung out and chatted with staff till closing. Really loved that 7.62x39 Ruger American.

This is a really scary invasion of privacy... it is bad enough they have access to our emails but yep... Here we go... at first your Siri/Google Assistant/Alexa was passively listening to help you... and now it can be used to spy on you. And this is partly why the Google Home assistant is turned off... besides, doesn't really do much anyway.

Oh this was a WTF moment. So new server got provisioned. Some winner at the data center took the current one offline. And at the same time, while trying to figure out WTF was happening, registrar's client portal was being upgraded and down. Yep... I did look outside for the black helicopters.

Just an update. New server is being provisioned as we speak, goal is tomorrow will move everything over and get it going.

The deal was as usual, $5 walk on... you just needed to remind them you were an NJGF member. I think there was a newer employee there that charged regular? At least 2 or 3 of the folks there knew there was a group of us regularly and charged appropriate fees. @oldguysrule649 did they also charge you more? Send a PM to @tj462nj @silverado427

Yes. it was supposed to be. Did they charge you more? Why didn't you find me or say something? @tj462nj

Probably. Lol. I am without magazines and everytbing else fun. Lol freaking NJ. Made me get a large container full of guns out of my car.

Pump action ar are there

lol. And this is why the server is out of state, registrations are overseas and holding in Florida.

So... what guns do you want me to cover next? Will split between Handguns and Long Guns. Working on the order list. Anything else on the list that is not interesting that you want to see? Let me know too. Videos on Youtube and SlavGuns.

So who's coming out?

LOL. Yes, the new offshore folks are a bit wacky. During upgrade they broke it and cannot fix. The chat was always in Beta and they finally released the 1.0 version so will have to do a new install. Was waiting to see if we will do this together with an upgraded server. Keep you in the loop shortly.

Actually, the clay bar is most definitely going to remove 99% of it. First just wash it, then clay bar remaining. I highly doubt you will even need to get a buffer/polisher at all. No reason to go that harsh. It looks like paint transfer. No reason to start taking off clear coat. 1. Water/Detergent and wipe it off. 2. Clay bar remaining. IF there is anything left, then go down the buffer/polisher.

Agree, but that looks like simple paint transfer that will just wipe off. =P I also think we have a few detailers here too...

Precisely. And accuracy... it will be tough to beat the Ruger PC Carbine in 9mm. Of course... we do have to qualify accuracy as well... If you are shooting at 50 yards out of a 10+ inch barrel almost anything is going to group well enough... i.e. under 2"... it is once you get past those distances that things change quite quickly. The recoil of the 9mm guns, as they are blowback, will be on par with 5.56. @SJG In free states mags will not be a huge issue but you cannot say that CZ mags are as cheap or as readily available in as many options as Glock mags. They are cheap and readily available that any NJ owner when shooting in PA can go to the store buy some mags, have fun with big sticks, then toss them out and not feel too much. Furthermore, from the magazine commonality stand point, it is very tough to beat the Glock mags in the AR platform. Yes, as a standalone gun, the CZ Evo is good... I can't speak to its accuracy as I have not done any testing in that realm, But at the end, it is simply another good pistol caliber carbine... on its own merits. It doesn't really fit with other guns though... Btw, go shoot a Non-NFA or an SBR 9mm AR... it will surely give the CZ a run for the money and put it back a few places.

Looks simple enough. Go wash your car, and then just use a paper towel and cleaning detergent... that should come right off. If you run your fingernail over it, do you feel any scratches in the paint/clear coat? Yes... I used to spend 8 hours detailing my Camaro... not an IROC... Z28. lol.

Define reliability? 500 rounds? 1,000? 5,000? Put a few hundred through the Troy and a bit less through DSI, no stoppages. Common issues are the last round bolt hold open but that is magazine related, applies to most AR PCCs. One thing to keep in mind is that these are blowback operated so all are going to be fairly reliable. Recoil was about the same, maybe a tad less on the Troy. The DSI has a few upgrades such as billet upper and lower, nicer charging handle, ambi controls. Troy will be more durable as it is forged receivers, but they look a tad plane. They also come with sights. I think both also had less recoil than the Scorpion and both guns weight less. Keep in mind, biggest difference... in the "non-nfa" configuration, you have adjustable pistol brace. With Scropion... will be a neutered stock and longer barrel. Magazine choice is also there to consider. Troy/DSI and MM? Use Glock mags. Scorpion uses their own mags. There are A LOT more Glock mags out there and cheap cheap cheap. The Troy gun will be avail to try (in 9mm) on Tuesday at Garden State shooting Center so come on down and try it.

Have not shot the MM 9mm but have shot the Troy and DSI. What's the question?
