Proof Research gas ports undersized?

Curious if anyone running Proof barrels on their gas guns have run into the gas ports being undersized. So far I'm 2/2.

I purchased a Proof stainless steel 24" 6.5 Creedmoor barrel for my large frame AR with a +2 camgas system. Out of the box, accuracy was amazing but it wouldn't lock back on last round. Typically I align my gas block by putting in a borescope and visually confirming that the port is aligned with the gas block. After quite a bit of trouble shooting buffers and such I sent it out to a buddy that's a gunsmith to open up the gas port. Problem solved. Took it out to the range today and it ran flawlessly and maintained the accuracy from before.

In the mean time, I had also purchased a second stainless Proof barrel that was an 18-inch 223 Wylde with a rifle length gas system. Lined up the AGB with borescope and brought it to the range with me today. It would cycle, but wouldn't lock back on last round. Checked again when I got home with the borescope and it lined up. Seems this barrel needs to have the gas port opened up as well.

Anyone else see this issue with Proof AR barrels or is it just me doing something wrong?

Here's a video clip of the borescope footage:

Firearms GAP-10 trade for scope

Looking to trade my GAP-10 for a scope. It's a 308, all FDE, Bartlien 22" Fluted barrel. Excellent condition. Roughly 600 rounds fired. Noveske switchblock, geissele trigger, surefire brake. Scary accurate. Can come with or without the Vortex Razor 5-20 EBR-3 mil scope.

Looking for a ZCO, Razor gen 3, S&B, ATACR or other scopes in that category. Possibly a Leupold MK5 or NX8 + cash.

I have a GAP-15 on the way that I need glass for, decided to sell the GAP-10 for that.20220625_205759.jpg20220625_205810.jpg20220625_205833.jpg

Short action specifically: 6.5 SAUM, PRC, or SS?

Hey guys,

I just thought I’d check the temperature and get opinions here. I did search some other threads with some success, but haven’t found quite what I’m looking for.

I have a defiance medium ultralight action/ Mag BF. I just picked up a 24” Bartlein 6.5 blank (7.5t). I’m trying to settle on the best cartridge for my setup and needs. My goal is to build a long range hunting setup and I may do some non-PRS comp’s. I don’t believe I would shoot past 1200-1300 yards with this setup. Based on my setup I believe I’m limited to a COAL of 2.950ish. I do hand load and would likely never buy factory ammo.

Three cartridges that come to mind for me are the PRC, SAUM, and Sherman Short. I’m not AS worried about the 100~ fps difference between them, I’m much more worried about feeding and bullet selection.

With the PRC I love the industry support. But it does seem I am realistically stuck with 140gr class of bullets due to COAL restrictions. Maybe that’s not a huge deal? I am just attracted to the high BC of 150g+ pills.

With the SAUM it looks like I MIGHT be able to run 156 EOL’s with certain sacrifice to case capacity (any experience out there?)I do have a set of Redding bushing dies for this cartridge as well as lesser desirable brass. Realistically I would still be purchasing ADG when available. It is a little bit of a Debbie downer that brass isn’t readily available.

The Sherman Short looks like a great option with having a shorter case with longer neck. I picture running longer bullets being much easier due to the case. My concern is potentially needing to push higher pressure to ballistically compete? At $2+ per case I’m not too excited about the idea of getting 2-4 loadings before toasting brass. Also a Debbie downer with brass being incrementally available.

I would greatly appreciate some insight here, especially from first hand experience. Thank you in advance guys.

Abortion is the idiots dog whistle.

Why don’t we talk about having our sons have this done when they come of age, this eliminates the need for abortion, the whole damn topic, fixes MANY issues in our society, is easily reversed when they want to have a kid, also costs under $5 and lasts years.



Oh right, because we need the blue and red idiots to fight each other over something that could be a non issue across the board.

Not to the benifit for pharma and their BS birth control they sell for MUCH more

Bad for the gov and corp who need a steady supply of stupid people to work at Walmart, and bad for politicians who need a supply of cannon fodder

If you let this ruling take ANY attention from the people who should be hanged Nurenberg style for destroying the world during “Covid”, from the people crashing economies and lives with their fiat money and overtime running money printers, money laundering BS human trafficking combloc Ukraine shinagans, and constant attacks on our individual liberties, you are behind the 8 ball my friend

Village Idiot Suggestions

I will preface this... I would like some "Forward Looking" comments.
I was told by one of my upstanding local Sheriff's Deputies "we are living in changing times". He was very businesslike and represented his department well. Actually a K-9 unit.

Every neighborhood / community has one "Village Idiot". IDK if it's a person who just wants to piss off the residents. A guy who does not realize he is pissing people off. Or a guy who wants to incubate a "reverse call" to the local LEO because someone complained about his activities.

To date, there is no law, statue or covenant against his activities. No noise ordinance in the county. He's the guy who, at 2 am decides to go out and check the non-suppressed coyote rifle using his new NOG's. The guy who just finished the rebuild on his Harley with drag pipes and needs to run through the hood just as your wife with a migraine dozed off at 11 pm..... The guy who likes to lay rubber at the nearest stop sign at 5 am just to show the neighborhood he has a job and goes to work early.... You know, "that guy".

Changing Times - No, you can't pepper his tailgate, pour sugar in his gas tank. He has more rights than you.

Anyone hunt with 6mm creedmoor?

I’m wanting to get my son a 6mm creedmoor for long range targets and whitetail deer.
Has anyone taken deer with one? What ammo did you use and how did it perform?
I know the cartridge is plenty adequate for deer. His hunting shots will be under 200 yards. Most will be under 100 yards.
My main concern is penetration and blood trails. We hunt in very thick brush. Without a blood trail it’s nearly impossible to find them.

David Hogg on Roe v. Wade: ‘I’m Mad as Hell and I’m Ready to Protest,’ Blames Putin.




Angry David Hogg






Progressive student activist David Hogg on Friday called on people across the country to rally in protest of the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, attempting to extend his anti-gun advocacy to a different issue.
“I’m mad as hell and I’m ready to protest,” Hogg tweeted. “Let’s do something.”
He then tweeted out a link for people to find protests across the country. “Let’s rally at the Federal courthouse across the country sign up here to protest tonight.”
He claimed, “Let me be clear This isn’t just about Roe this is about the Supreme Court going backwards against 200+ years of jurisprudence yesterday on gun laws endangering us all.”
Hogg then tweeted that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted Americans to be divided politically:
Putin needs Americans to be divided and too caught up with our politics so he can continue his march into Ukraine than [sic] into Poland and beyond. He knows the only way to defeat the Americans is by turning them against each other. Don’t fall for it.

Hogg earlier falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump “packed the court,” adding, “It’s time to unpack it.” He was mocked by a popular conservative podcaster.
“Breaking — Harvard guy doesn’t know what packing the court means,” “Catturd” tweeted.
Breaking – Harvard guy doesn't know what packing the court means. 😂😂😂😂
— Catturd ™ (@catturd2) June 24, 2022

Hogg also complained that the Supreme Court justices were “unelected.”
Nine unelected people, most of whom were appointed by president who didn’t even win the popular vote and were confirmed by a Senate that does not have representation for over three million Americans — should not be able to overturn a policy supported by nearly 70% of Americans.

The Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade on Friday, holding in the Dobbs case that the Constitution does not include a right to abortion and returning the issue of abortion laws and regulations to state legislatures.
