Yeah, from the hole left behind probably a hundred tons of topsoil was blasted in the air. And it takes a serious explosive to set off ammonium nitrate that was probably just sitting in bags with nothing like diesel mixed in like it is normally used.

A guy at work builds custom M1As on the side and just put together a Garand. He picked up a stock from these guys and says it is great. Eventually he is going to bed it in.

My M1 is a korean re-import with the yew ...

I put a Burris AR-332 on there and it did come with a red dot.

I have not seen any damage to brass, though I dont reload. I picked up a case of old Ethiopian ammo and the stuff seems to shoot good. And cheap!

I was about 50 yards and had no issue keeping them within a 2" group. I need to go to a ...

My ild i7-3960x mobo and cpu died the other month. Ended up just getting a i5-9600k and a MSI motherboard to go with it with 16gigs of DDR4. Bestbuy had a package deal so it worked out. Still running my GTX1080 but it is starting to show it's age since I do game and picked up a 4k tv that I game on ...

You can pick up used Tektronix TDS series scopes for about $100. Like the Tek TDS 320 and 340.

I needed to talk to a propriety serial bus we use at work that would have to clock in data at 50mhz (~50 megabytes a sec) but its just a tad too slow for that. Going with a FPGA board from Opal Kelly. More expensive but it already has the LVDS lines and serializers, deserializers built in.

Lol, try the Teensy 4.0 with a 600MHz ARM cortex M7. It benchmarks at 330x the speed of a 328. I picked one up for work the other day.
