Replace AICS Spigot with Rail

Hey guys, a while ago there was a guy on here that was machining a new insert for the front of an AICS Chassis to replace the spigot receiver with a rail section that extended out a few inches.

Anyone have a link? I can’t seem to find it.

My spigot has a little play that is driving me nuts. Also, not interested in the Big Dog mount. I want the unit that requires you drive the pins out and replace the entire piece. Thanks.

Bear Pit Expectations

For those that are new to (or not acquainted with) the Pit, it can be a rough and tumble place. While not everything is allowed, it is a place for shooting the breeze, expressing opinions on non-shooting related topics, and a place to blow off steam. But lately there seems to be some misunderstandings about what is expected when diving into the Pit. A member wrote this, and I thought it was worth sharing...

"My views on the pit are like that of a rowdy bar...

1) You don't have to drink at the bar, you can always find a Starbucks.

2) If you're new to the bar...you're gonna get fucked with.

3) If you say stupid shit at the bar...you're gonna get fucked with

4) If you think you're better than everyone at the bar...you're gonna get fucked with.

5) If you can give and take a few punches...and laugh about it later...you've earned a seat at the bar.


Essentially, don't walk into the Titty Twister...order a banana daiquiri...then rage quit when people start busting your balls."

You should have a thick skin while venturing into the Pit, but there are rules...play nice.

Zermatt Origin bolt/firing pin loose

The part of the zermatt origin bolt (firing pin) that connects with the trigger has become loose and I can wiggle it
back and forth and am not sure if/how I'm supposed to tighten it? I'm guessing that hole is
where the set screw is, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tighten it while inside the bolt like in the first picture
or remove the firing pin and tighten the screw while not in the bolt like in the second picture? If anyone knows how
I'm supposed to tighten and service the firing pin/bolt let me know.
Thanks,

What would be a good modern functional scope for a m1903a3

I've got a weaver k 3 on my m1903. I feel like I could do a lot better shooting with a better scope... but then ... it's a m1903. I don't really want sone crazy scope on there. What would be a good scope that would look right on it.

Im on the fence that a leupold 3-9x40 with cds dial would be the best model scope that would look right on it.

Seekins SP10 Review. Craddock/Proof Research

Starting with the basic SP10 rifle as it came from the Factory with the standard rifle length gas system.

IMG_20200430_173325384~2.jpg


First with the bad.

Unfortunately the version I received had the Rifle Length Gas and no matter of fine tuning with the Gas or buffer weight could fix the abuse it played on the brass and crude cycling and bolt bounce that started premature wear on the rear of the bolt lugs.
IMG_20200725_145532644~3.jpg


The OEM Timney trigger had substantial and very noticeable creep when doing a slow controlled trigger pull so I replaced it with a TriggerTech AR10 Diamond. When I first received the rifle it had a bent gas tube that was binding inside the gas key of the BCG. I didn't care much for the barrel contour after the .750 gas block journal it would step down to .730 to the muzzle and seemed to suffer from poor Barrel harmonics and substantial barrel whip.
IMG_20201030_211258090~2.jpg

After encountering these issue one phone call to Seekins they completely revamped the rifle no questions asked with the exception of the barrel as it was thier current barrel offering and it was still shooting satisfactory, but bar none Seekins Customer Service is one of the best in the industry.

Now for the positives.

The Receiver Set and handguard have been phenomenal to date and after several thousand rounds the receivers still lock up tight with absolutely no slop. The 15" Handguard is perfect for shooting from barricades and fits a Arca rail perfectly.
The ATC Muzzle brake was surprisingly effective with maintaining sight recovery.

Out of the box as it originally came it maintained .75 MOA with all Harnady ammo but had unexplained flyers.

At this point I decided to pull the barrel and BCG and replace it with 22" Craddock Bartlein with the +2 gas system headspaced to a JP Bolt, APA Gen3 Little Bastard adjustable muzzle brake and a Lantac Carrier with the oversized rear boss and forward facing gas vents and a SA AGB. The end result is the softest shooting 6.5CM I've even owned.

The results were nothing short of spectacular.

IMG_20210505_175051842~2.jpg
IMG_20210509_182415604~2.jpg


But unfortunately the gas port in the the Craddock barrel took a catastrophic turn for the worst and developed a burr at the gas port that was unrepairable.
25~2.jpeg
19~2.jpeg

18~2.jpeg


After contacting Craddock the current wait time for a barrel replacement would of put me 12 months out, but again with exceptional customer service Paul issued a full refund.

At this point instead of waiting 12 months I opted to go with a 24" Proof Research Carbon Fiber barrel that has shown to be a solid performer right out of the gate the PRCF barrel shot .5 MOA with Factory ammo.
IMG_20220410_120744522~2.jpg


After a healthy 200rd break-in the PRCF has become one of my top performers. I initially had some hesitation with how the barrel was performing with the groups opening up especially under high heat. It turns out is was just mirage causing sight disruption the illusion of the groups opening up.

First round of load development.
IMG_20220826_122753859~2.jpg


The below groups were shot today solidifying several load options that are all Sub .5 MOA

IMG_20221012_125745069.jpg

IMG_20221012_125551735.jpg


The Seekins SP10 has shown to be a true performer no matter what tube I install.

To date Seekins has rectified the earlier discrepancies with the addition of a + 1.5 Gas system and a updated bolt. I have absolutely no reservations recommending the SP10 to any shooter.

Thanks for reading.

.308 pressure issue

Found a good load but brass shows pressure signs well below max charge: flat primers, faint extractor marks, and occasional heavy bolt lift.

43.8gr Varget
Berger 168 hybrid
Federal brass, twice fired. Same pressure signs with Lapua.
Federal 210 primers
Criterion 24” 1:10. 250 rounds thru.
2725 FPS

Max charge per Hodgdon is 46gr. Not sure why the high pressure. I’ll adjust the load. Just trying to understand what’s going on.

Night Vision Battery pack for a thermal aka another stupid question.

Next thermal adventure question for the NV crowd. Looking for an external pack for my helmet. Does the mAh rating matter as far as frying a thermal? Looking at various Anker options so I know that voltage is good to go a 5 volts but will a "bigger" pack do anything bad to a unit. Seeing 10k to 20k options and want to experiment from a counter weight standpoint but don't want to kill a unit either. It's a MH25 if it matters. To my simple mind it seems like more mAh's just means more run time between charges but want to make sure I'm not missing something. Thank you for the advice in advance!

Rifle Scopes New Trijicon SCO USMC VCOG 1-8

Got the new Trijicon VCOG that Eurooptics is offering. This is the SCO USMC version that comes with a scope molle pouch, scope cover, and flip caps. The mounting system is the Larue LT-799 QD. It has a tree reticle in mils. It even has the Bible verse that military issued Trijicon have on them.

“If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.”
-1 John 1:6

First impressions:

Glass is extremely clear, provides sharp contrast and colors. The tree reticle is great and provides up to 20 mils in each direction at 8x. The reticle at 1x feels similar to a EOTech xps. Eye box at 1x is very forgiving and less so as you progress to 8x. The Larue mount is easy to use and can be adjusted by hand. No need for a wrench. This scope is THICCC. Not only is it heavy, it also takes up a lot of space. If your looking to minimize weight this is not the option. This optic reminds me of an Elcan because of how rugged it feels.

I plan to put this on my Scar 17S with a side/top mounted T2 or RMR.
