AR-15 Barrel Advice

Thanks for the advice guys. I ended up picking up a Criterian CORE 13.9" on sale somewhere for around $280 (and a $15 gas tube to replace the old one).

Cheers!
My Criterion not sure if it's core or hybrid contour. It's chrome lined .750 contour, it heavey. Shoots decent ammo into 1 moa.

It's hybrid contour after reading above.

Shot the four then adjusted the zero where I wanted it. There are actually 5 shot at the circle on the left also but that was kneeling once I had a zero.

Precision Rifles.....show em!!

Plenty of outstanding PROVEN gunsmiths, with decades of solid work that'll spend time on the phone with you to set things up how you'd want if one lacks the experience to make informed decisions... and they aren't going to charge you outside the cost of the rifle.

Moreso, they aren't going to charge you an excessive amount to slap together parts from various retailers and check headspace for you. Not trying to crap on anyone mentioned in the previous 15 posts, there just is a new trend in "rifle building" over the past five years or so. One can now put together a very competent setup without so much as a lathe or any other supporting machinery. You can't hate on a guy who is trying to capitalize on that.

let's face it. The incoming era of prefits and CNC tolerances has done away with the need of a lot of actual "gunsmithing". Either those gunsmiths are going to invest more time into manufacturing the parts themselves that can be assembled by any monkey with $300 of tools in his/her garage, or they are going to continue to thrive in a specific niche where their expertise and craftsmanship is still needed.

^ An example of the former would be any one of dozens of riflesmiths that now offer prefits out of their shop. An example of the latter would be businesses like KMW or TacOps, or GA Precision etc... etc... (I chose those three because they have both similar AND different clientele).

*****

In the end, it will be the consumers who will dictate what they want they find as their value proposition. I'd expect that some deviation will occur because of name recognition, targeted segment advertising, and even inexperience in some cases.

Blah, blah, blah... TLDR.

M24 Prototype up for grabs


ill pointy out with this 'prototype' - that the stock isnt era correct with the action. Its possible the action was used on a prototype but the stock certainly was not. The stock lacks the flat spot for the bolt, and doesnt have the C prefix era crosshatch pattern buttpad - it has the later G prefix thicker buttpad.

Airguns Beating Rimfires

PRS rimfire will change their mind once ammo has gotten so expensive to enough people that attendance has dropped significantly.

Only a matter of time until that happens, heck it's partially why I stopped, and definitely why I didn't buy another case of lot tested Polar Biathlon.

Logical choice at that point is pcp and by then I bet they'll be even better than now.

A guy just wanted to have dinner with his wife.. and this bitch shows up

Drunk woman who sexually assaulted man at upscale restaurant as he celebrated getting a cancer all-clear with his wife is spared jail​

She then sat on the man's lap and told him: 'I want to sit on your big bamboo.'
Outraged by Ms Williamson's brazen behaviour, the shocked diner immediately pushed her off before his wife told her to 'f*** off'.
The blonde mother-of-two, believed to be unemployed, then swiped the drinks and a candle off the table, causing them to spill over the victim's wife.
Furious at the rejection, she then spat at him and scratched him, drawing blood
