Just finished this build today, looking forward to running it through it's paces.

The Broadsword Builder kit is extremely rigid and well built with clean machining work. The face of the Upper Receiver is true and showed virtually no Runout

The Upper with it's heavy construction and increased flared forward surface area would be well suited for the heaviest profile barrels. Barrel installation requires a mandatory thermofit, no shims or Loctite required.

Handguard to Upper Receiver fit is exceptional with its integrated anti-rotation tabs and pin create a Rrock solid lockup.
The fit between the 2.5" Titanium Barrel Nut and Handguard are very tight, without even tightening the handguard screws there is no felt Handguard flex. Once the opposing Handguard screws are torqued down with it's wedged Barrel Nut/Handguard design there is absolutely zero flex.

The only down side I would say is thier Broadsword Lower Receiver doesn't have the Full Ambidextrous controls that most quality manufacturers have today.

One of the notable enhancements I do enjoy with the SOLGW lower is they have elongated the grip position so if you have large hands it puts your Trigger Finger in perfect placement.

Couple notable updates for these builds. 18DEC24

(1) I've swapped out the triggerTech triggers and replace them with the Geissele SSA-E X for both rifles.

(2) the suppressor mounting system/Muzzle Brake has been changed out from the Keymo to the Xeno System as I believe it creates a more consistent and repeatable engagement from the muzzle device to the suppressor.

Looking at purchasing a milspec Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56. How does Nightforce compare to the SB 6-36 PMii in terms of glass quality and durability? Previous experience has only been with SB 5-25x56 PMii PSR scopes. Thanks for the help.

I thought that New Mexico had some of the most stringent gun laws in the country?How did 3 people get shot and killed and a bunch more wounded at a unauthorized car show at some park yesterday?Thats odd.

I haven't found any threads comparing these 2 yet. Wonder if there just aren't many people who have had time behind the vision pro.

I'm in the market for a new chassis to replace my PRS-TCS. The distance from grip to trigger is just too big for my hands. I'd like to go with chassis over stock for added adjustability also. This will be used for PRS.

At first glance they look very similar. The buttstocks are different and I do like the adjustable bag rider on the vision. Price wise is very similar here in Canada. Vision is 10% more. Not sure its enough to make a difference, but MDT also has a wicked black friday sale that I could have some luck in this year making it a little cheaper. I like how the Vision is ambi, seeing as I'm a lefty, and if I decide to sell it for whatever reason I have a bigger market to sell to. I'll most likely be adding accessories to it as well, like a control bridge or weights.

Wondering what people think about the differences between the 2 and if one was a clear winner (for those who have handled both).

Here’s what I have. I will part out if desired. Upper has maybe 10 rounds on it. Just enough to adjust the gas block. I just don’t shoot LR308/ar10 platform

Finally managed to get a Vudoo across to Denmark, and what a beauty!
I have tried RWS, SK and Lapua Center-X through it and found that Center-X works extremely well. Below is a 10 shot group at 50m with the Center-X!

Unfortunately since day one, I have had occasional misfires due to light primer strikes.
The RWS had a few in between, SK was pretty bad and Center-X almost as bad as SK.

Every time a misfire have happened, I have not been able to successfully re-cock and get ignition.
Usually if I eject and re-chamber, I'm able to send the misfire down range at second or third try.

During my most recent range session, out of the first 200 rounds, i had 26 that failed to fire at first chambering.
All of those were Lapua Center-X, see picture below.

Have tried disassembling the bolt, clean and lightly lube all the moving parts, but doesn't seem to help any.
Action is a V-22 Gen 2, it currently has 1100 rounds through it.


Any suggestions on how to fix the issue? Could it be a light firing pin spring?

I do love reddit and SH for their styles of forum, but also love discord communities for hanging out in too. Is there a general long range discord around? I've seen brand specific stuff and the reloading one from reddit, but that's about it.

This bitch is an embarrassment to the State of Texas. She keeps railing against Trump and Musk yet doesn't she realize all the investment and jobs Musk has created in our state? I'm no fan of EV's but if you're ever in Austin, drive down the 130 toll road and you'll pass the Tesla factory it's like 4,000,000 sq. ft.
Then there's Space X just up the road from me in McGregor where they develop the propulsion systems. Then the Space X port in Brownsville. I recently heard a rumor that he is also supposed to move X's HQ to Bastrop from Commiefornia.
Isn't this bitch supposed to be representing the people of Texas?
And don't even get me started on that waste of oxygen Al Green. I loved when he got kicked out of Trump's joint address to Congress!

I was getting good results in my LMT MWS with the Hornady 140 gr and 147 gr ELD-M bullets and thought I would try their 130 gr EDL-M bullets. I did a ladder and fired loads with Varget at 35.8, 36.3, 36.8, 37.3, 37.8. I was getting excellent results with 36.3 gr of Varget with groups opening up significantly above 37.8 gr. There were no pressure signs with any of the loads.

I used Hornady’s 10th Edition for all my load data, but was very surprised today to see Hodgdon’s maximum load for a 130 gr bullet with Varget was below Hornady’s minimum load for the same combination. Could this be right?

I've had a few jags and brushes break lately and I'm looking to get some new ones. One frustrating thing about most of my current set is that they aren't engraved with caliber markings, so the ones that are close in size annoy me when I'm trying to put them away.

I see that Montana extreme jags are engraved, what about the brushes? Anyone know?

I like the idea of the bore tech fancy metal jags that won't show false positives on copper clean outs. Anyone know if their stuff has any kind of markings?

I've had some cheaper sets like Tipton that are marked, but it wears off really quick.

Engraved is the goal, the bigger the better.

New still in the box Black ACC Elite and new in individual box rubber dampers also inside. For 700 SA $1525 shipped and insured or $1450 for chassis only

Not looking for any trades unless you have a ZCO 1x or 2x reticle and I would add cash.

Trying to get more into developing more accurate loads. Trying to wrap my head around the hole primer seating depth thing but, kind of lost here. Normally just seat the primers with a hand tool or on my single stage lnl. Seat until they bottom out and move on. But, now I’m reading all this on primer depth uniformity and not sure what the best way to go about seating the primers. In my head, It seems if I seat the primers to an exact same depth beyond flush, than some might bottom out less than others. Is this actually better than running them in until they bottom out? Maybe I’m missing something in the process.
