Am I just trash with an AR?

I'm having some real struggles with shooting groups. I'm slowly realizing that I just might be trash at shooting.

This is my first attempt at building and shooting a precision small frame AR. The plan was to get a barrel in and test it before sending it off to D.wilson to have it converted for the LMT MRP.

This is where it went sideways. The barrel shoots like crap. My first outing I had shot the 75gr RMRs in to a laughable 6" group (didn't measure). The 69gr SMK and N140 shot a lot better but still big.

The second outing wasn't much better. I was testing a different load and was removing muzzle devices changing bolts etc.

The groups had a totally different shape with a lot of horizontal stringing.

After getting off the rifle, I shot Black #2. I noticed a POI shift and figured I'd change my bags out (ended up stacking a fortune cookie on my Wiebad rear bag (I don't like that bag, but it fit under the B5 sopmod stock)

Do I just need to get a different stock? New rear bag? Is this barrel trash? Am I trash?

I know semi autos are a different animal but I'm not new to shooting precision rifles...

His setup is gayer than jizz on a moustache!

Even when you take my new pride sticker into account!

What is the ambient humidity in your reloading room? I'm just trying to figure out how static is coming into play. Here in central NC, average humidity inside our house is lowest in cold, dry winter periods... but even in the driest periods, I've never had a drift issue.

But it's never as low as "normal" in the desert southwestern USA... I remember sliding out of a car seat in Tucson in October... temperature was 85 degrees and when I closed the door I got a profanity-inducing static zap. Dewpoint was around 10 degrees, humidity in low single digits.

If ambient humidity is really low, maybe try a humidifier?

Neighbor's horses in my property problem (texas)

stello1001
Hey all,

I wanted to see if I can pick the hide's brain a bit. I found a great stretch of property that extends 1km long in a straight line. I am in the process of buying it so I can do some of my shooting there. There is no fence on the property but it is still a good deal.

One neighbor has about a dozen horses and he as well has no fencing anywhere. Essentially, those horses are roaming free anywhere and everywhere. The other neighbors seem to not care about it.

I will eventually put a fence up, but that's down the road as I start accumulating more funds. Who's obligation would it be to put a fence at this point?

What if I'm in the middle of shooting and a horse gets between the target and I? What if I try to run it off my property and for whatever reason something happens to the horse, maybe a rattlesnake bite or some injury. What if I'm shooting and a horse gets in the way as the trigger broke?
Or...
What if I end up fencing, and the horses destroy or damage the fence over time?

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Once the purchase happens and I'm more in it than I am now, I will talk to the local sheriff's department. They are good people. I will also seek legal advice from the right sources, etc.

In the meantime, I thought I'd ask the hide and see what they have to haha.

CO witness vs Combat cut RMR

M
About to send a couple slides out to get the RMR cuts. I'm trying to make the decision on going regular CO witness or the combat cut. One is a Glock 26 that's a carry gun, and the other one is a 19X that gets carried sometimes and is used with a suppressor. I'm sending them to the Glock store. My Glock 34 has the factory MOS which seems excessively high with the MOS plate. The ones getting sent out I have the Sig Zero sights to install on them.

Thanks!

Not to hijack the thread but do you see results change on depth of reamer? depending on what the barrel is for I usually try to ream for the ammo i want to shoot, going along with not reaming as it was intended.

I have tried from .150 down to - .020 in .010 increments, the lesser the depth of engraving accuracy improved. Did not see any positives past .025. Keep in mind, I was looking for a specific outcome in my test not necessarily the best accuracy. Best advice is try it and see what works best for you and your process. Absolutely make sure the ammo you use for the test is of a KNOWN good lot otherwise you will chase your tail.
