Let me ask you this. How does your barrel extension feed ramps line up with receiver ramps? I have a slight overhang of the extension over the receiver. Not much and doesn’t affect feeding but I’m beginning to wonder if it’s knicking up the polymer tips of Hornady loads and affecting accuracy some.

Wow, not even 9/16". I am in the process of developing a jig for the swivel, so it will be several days before I can provide results. The loops are not a concern, as their design has already been finalized.

Awesome wedding gift. Finally a good cruising vest…

Desperate And Stabby. A dangerous ride. I hope you have someplace out of country to be in a little bit.

I'm just trying to figure out how long it took to arrange them all so the naked lady appears when you squint. Amazing.

I squinted for so long that I can’t see now and my wife is posting this…

It can't be easy to compare reliably .22LR long range results between two or more rifles shot at different times.

Even leaving potentially changing conditions aside, the longer the distance the more the many potential peculiarities of the ammo are seen, not just MV variation.

That sounds about right.

Per questions, I’ve added better picture of inlet as well as weight.

Bump

I shot my LMT 6.5 CM 20" at 100 and 300 yards today to re-zero. I just got the scope back from Nightforce, The parallax got out of whack internally somehow, they were pretty good about repairing it under warranty, but it did take 6 weeks.

Overall, I'm impressed with this rifle. Every group was sub MOA today, except the first cold bore shot on a very clean barrel (1.14"). The groups at 305 yards averaged 0.5 MOA (1.11", 1.87", 1.52"). I'm absolutely thrilled with that from a large frame gas gun, no malfunctions, gas perfectly, I really couldn't ask for much more from an AR10.

It would be interesting to shoot through a series of photo gates to determine at which range the velocity begins to meaningfully diverge for the 16, 14, 13, 12, and 9 twist barrels. This would allow for the user to balance the gains and costs of the faster twist for their use. Obviously LONG range will go with the faster twist but for shorter ranges it might not always be worth the finicky nature. For instance it seems unlikely that 50 yard BR guys will be making the switch.

That would be pretty cool. And I agree, the 50 yard BR guys only care about what was new 50 years ago, when most of them were in their 40s.

C’mon BR guys, I’m kidding.
