Opening-Up Gas Port

I got an 18" SPR barrel from Craddock earlier this year that I had converted to an LMT quick-change barrel for use in an MLR. It shot really well but after a couple hundred rounds through it I realized that for this rifle application I would prefer it a bit shorter. So I had it cut back to 16" and now it's undergassed because, silly me, it's now a 16" barrel with a rifle length gas system and won't cycle reliably. I tried all of the obvious fixes like switching gas blocks, making sure everything was aligned properly, swapping gas tubes, played with an adjustable buffer, but it's never getting enough gas probably due to reduced dwell time.

Since this barrel shot lights out before getting cut down, I just don't want to give up on it, so now I'm looking at opening up the gas port a bit.

That's something I've never done and part of me thinks "how hard can it be?" Is this something I should be trying to do myself or should I send it out to someone who can do it correctly? Enquiring minds want to know.

Trigger pushing up on bolt

I have a new action (Remington 40x Ti and PTG bolt) that seems to be having an issue once I install a trigger.

Bolt close seems extremely rough when the trigger is installed, and it appears the bolt is being pushed upwards significantly. The rough feel is probably the bottom bolt lug against the receiver abutement.

I tried two different triggers and both exhibit this issue, although one slightly worse than the other. While functional, bolt close is quite rough and my fear is galling between steel bolt and titanium receiver.

Does anyone know of a solution? Would removing material from trigger disconnector help?

DIY Vise Fixture

I had this Magpul bipod mount and earlier today I was trying to figure out what to do with it. I didn't want to just drop it in a bin so I made a thing out of it for my vise.

Some scrap 1/4" aluminum angle, 10-32 tap, and voila....

If I want I can secure a flat top upper, barreled action, anything picatinny, it doesn't seem like that will be a problem.

Or I can throw an arca rail in there to secure a chassis, my scope mounting "jig", etc...

20221121_192804.jpg


I have some polymer vise blocks that slip into AICS magwells and AR vise blocks too but most my rifles have picatinny and/or arca interfaces on the underside. If I need to secure it to go hands free to mount an acessory or clean it, this seems like a more svelte solution.

Looking for a backyard range shooter

I got a 650 yard range in the backyard and have started reloading. Been shooting a POF ar style in 6.5cm but am looking for a bolt gun to step it up a little.

I’ve looked at the Savage, Ruger Precision models, but after reading threads would like to find a Bergara or Tikka chassis gun in 6.5cm.

I’ve been watching the classifieds here for a month or so, but what would be the best way to go as a starter in 6.5 creedmoor? I’ve almost pulled the trigger on a Ruger RPR, but would waiting on the right Tikka or Bergara be a better choice?

Encountered a guy at Home Depot rifling through my truck cab.

So last night about 5pm I make my second trip of the day to Home Depot to get more lumber for my sniper's hide.

The "hide" is a dormer I'm building in the upstairs of my barn that is 133yds to my handgun/rifle range.

Anyway, as I'm buying a pile of 2x4's I park in the last parking spot in the loading zone area. This is the covered area, front of the store. As I pull into the last spot, I notice a parked van to my left with a couple of middle age tweeker types just sitting in the front seats. Don't look like contractors, not DIY homeowners.

Get out of my gladiator, grab a lumber cart - look back with my fob and decide not to lock my truck, thinking "let's watch this play out". I get the plate #. Haul cart into store, park it, and message myself the plate #.

Wait about 15 seconds and head out the other door to see a guy leaning in my passenger compartment, his back to me, on the passenger side. His driver remains in the van. He's rifling through my empty vehicle.

My right hand is on my shield 9mm, ready to drawn from my pocket holster. I startle and command him to exit the vehicle. He's got no visible weapon, but I maintain some distance and try to keep an eye on the driver. Nobody moves. I don't know if he knew I was armed - you guys would have assumed I was by my gestures.

I told him to get back in his vehicle and leave the scene, and to do it now - and if he didn't, I would hurt him. He and his pal back the van up and move on.

I didn't have time to get a pic of him or the vehicle (didn't want to focus on my phone).

After the event, I was surprised I was pretty calm, as I felt like had called in a coyote or some such critter.

The old rule - Always carry and have situational awareness.

Turns out the license plate didn't match the vehicle. I'm sure they're off to another HD to rip off contractors.

I need about a 20" platform in front of the window. That's just a cheap .22 for mockup.

SOLD WTS/WTT NightForce ATACR C569 7-35x56 F1

I have a pretty much brand new Nightforce ATACR C569. Never shot and never took the range. Wife got it for me as a present but I am primarily a Mils guy.

Full disclaimer, when I first mounted it, I used an old sphur mount with stripped screws, when I tried removed the stripped screws I marred the body with my torque driver. I can’t stand scratches or anything awful looking on my gear. So I sent it to Nightforce and had the body replaced which cost me $580. They put on a new body and thus a brand new serial number. I just got it back today from Nightforce. The scope was never mounted and never fired, no damage whatsoever and nightforce inspected it and I will include all the paperwork as proof. Comes with box and paperwork. Happy to do FaceTime and videos.

Sale Price: $2700

Trades:

I would like to trade for an F1 ATACR 7-35 in MILS.
