Dang, my buddy shoots 75gr Frontier almost exclusively now and I have a bunch I haven’t shot yet.
Now I’m nervous... Glad to hear you’re okay, and thanks for sharing. Would love to know the specs on the ammo when you can. Was it a DD 10.3” barrel or a Colt? |

Whats the tucson area like? The surrounding area is great if you like outdoor activities, especially in the late fall through early spring. Hot, but not as hot as the Phoenix metro, with lots of mountains; the 3rd most prominent peak in Arizona (11th in elevation) is a 40 minute drive out of the city limits. Areas within 30 miles range from high desert with interspersed riparian zones to coniferous forest. Lots of good spots to shoot on BLM and USFS land. Some private ranches allow access, and even more ranches allow access if you take the time to get to know the owners. |

Thinking about using a SFMB on my block II build. I know it would be loud as hell and my neighbors at the range would hate me but it would mitigate some of the wear on the first baffle once my can comes in. Anyone else running one? Does the can still sit as close to the rail as the 4p/3p? They look to be similar dimensions from what I can see in pictures.
