Cutting a manners varbon fiber stock.

It has a 1" pad so maybe I will cut the pad off and fit a new 1/2" pad. I guess I might just cut the pad down 1/4" at a time. 🤔🤔 it's a 280 though so eventually I will probably want to get it back to a 1" pad.

I know you guys will always work on your stocks but working on things myself puts them on my timeframe. 🤣🤣
They are quick, I sent in a PRS1 to get the adjustable LOP kit and have them fix the forend/install the archers for a 419 arca rail. I think it was less than two weeks from door to door, if I remember correctly.

Seekins SP10 barrel question

Pinning gas blocks do NOT reduce accuracy. This is unfounded and made up by manufacturers that want to cut corners.

On another note, I never knocked Seekins. My quest is and was for knowledge. I also believe and suspect Seekins uses billet uppers and lowers. Another corner cutting technique. IF this turns out to be true, then all you have is an overpriced, billet upper/lower, set screw attached gas block with a mystery stainless barrel, for 4200.00.

There is non, none, nada comparison to a Geissele MRGG, or even a DD5 V5. Of which I have confirmed with DD, are ALL pinned. The DD5 V5 is .75 to .5 moa all day long as is the Geissele.

Though off topic, even Seekins DMR 6 arc platform has the same deficiencies. And here again, cannot compare to a GFR.

Everything Seekins manufacturers is not even at a CMMG level. Sorry guys but now have to call it as it is. And this Scar bashing is ridiculous. I already own 2 Scar 20's, 6.5 and 308. My mission was to obtain a 6.5 in ar10 platform and sure won't be a Seekins.
Pinning the gas block often does reduce precision. I have personally found this to be true with two different Criterion barrels.

Criterion themselves acknowledge that drilling and pinning the barrel can reduce precision. They don't have a dog in the fight, they make barrels, you can pin them if you want, or not. They are just sharing their large sample size testing.

A Daniel Defense DD5 is not a sub-moa rifle. If the stars line up and you get a three round or 5 round group that happens to be under an inch at 100 yards, it is not consistently repeatable over large sample sizes.

If you don't want to buy a Seekins rifle, don't. However, the SP10 M is a solid shooter for sure, perhaps one of the most accurate off the shelf AR-10s available.

Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

I have been playing with the 308 Nas3 casings and while they work, I still prefer Alpha SRPs and my modified 277 fury brass. The nas3 work fine if you do not mind NOT being able to reload them. For me that is a non-starter. Some of my alpha brass have 15 firings on them (all well above max).
Yeah I don’t care about reloading, just want to get some extra velocity on my wifes 223 hunting bolt gun. Might even make 88 eldm worth it in the 223 case.
