Gunsmithing .308 Barrel Twist Rate...Which to Choose?

Given a barrel length of 20" and only shooting bullet weights from 147 to 185 grain, what twist rate would be recommended? From the research I've done, it would seem that a twist rate of 1:11 or 1:12 would work best. Many recommend just going with 1:10 as the best "all around" twist rate. But for the bullet weights I would be shooting it seems that would be too fast of a twist rate?

How long is too long?

What is the longest you have waited on a custom bolt gun build? I know the past 2-1/2 years have been difficult for many businesses keeping up production wise and they’ve had to deal with logistic nightmares, etc. but even under these circumstances would you consider 18 months + far too long for a build to be completed? I know people are seeing some crazy lead times from stock manufacturers like Manners, but even if it took a year for a stock, would 6 months leave the average smith more than enough time to complete a build?

Are We Being Gassed?

All throughout this month so far I just can't seem to be getting enough sleep. Apparently others as well. Grandma turned 67 today and a cancer survivor and I call her up and both her and Grandpa are still napping. Same with the rest of my family and friends. No one seems to have energy. I know that hot weather dehydrates you and makes you feel tired, but this month really hasn't been hot. I've also been reading others online who've been overly tired as well for no particular reason. What gives?

Turrets with distinctive tactile feel

Hello all I know the title is kind of vaguely worded, but I was hoping someone could help me find scopes with similar turret feel to schmidt & bender's PMII, where the difference between the click of a 0.1mil turn and the clunk of a full mil are very distinct. Bit of a weird thing to prefer I know but I have a hard time finding scopes with this feature, even among videos where they discuss the tactile feel of turrets. It's the one thing that really disappoints me on my vortex razor, the clicks are tactile enough but I really miss the confidence of knowing exactly how many mils I was ripping through quickly while dialing without having to look at the turret or count individual 0.1 mil adjustments.

I heard a rumor it was a patented design only S&B had, that recently got leased to US Optics, is this true? Or have I just been looking in the wrong places.

AR10 Optimal Gas / Buffer

Has anyone gotten their AR10 to where it will run reliably with or without a suppressor? If so, what setup are you running?

My current setup is a 16” middy 308 with an adjustable gas block and DPMS carbine buffer with a sprinco orange spring. It shoots fine suppressed (Sandman S) but when I pull the suppressor it won’t even eject the empty round. If I turn gas up to cycle unsuppressed then I’m crazy over gassed with a suppressor and it isn’t reliable.

I don’t fully understand what impacts the DI operating system so before I start spending money I’d like to hear if anyone else has a setup similar that has worked well. This barrel shoots pretty well (MOA with M118LR) so I’d like to make this barrel work if possible.

Oh and I’ve got a 18” Criterion in 6.5 CM (adjustable gas, rifle length) I will shoot more in the future so any overlap there would ideal

Another Anti-Trumper Rino Gets Primaried.

Yea this is our Local race but we are sooo frigging happy after we thought we could have got saddled with this evil bitch for 2 more years.

There were 2 strong republican candidates in addition to Butler, which made up about 60% of the total votes. The democrat only got 31%.

In case you didn't know. Joe Is the Former SF soldier whos wife was killed in syria a few years ago. He was endorsed by Trump. Herra Buttler cuntbag was one of the 10 RINOS who voted to impeach Trump. Now 7/10 of them have been Primaried or Retired.

This is a good day for the good guys!

Smells like treason to me.

Justice... not for Marines...

This POS killed 7 people including several Marine Veterans when he was driving his POS trailer for a POS Russian Mafia trailering company in New England... while he was high as a kite on opiods...


And he is not guilty.

Hopefully the 81 bretheren will set things right.

No... drugs are harmless.
