Gunsmithing Removing AR-10 Handguard: Revisited

The handguard is on TIGHT on my Armalite AR-10. I'm beginning to wonder if the barrel nut and handguard are a single unit. I'll call Glen at Armalite Monday.

The guard seems to be all aluminum.

7119198


The upper receiver block I received is not doing the job and I'm afraid that if I tighten it enough, I'll damage the upper.

So it looks as though I need two tools: a reaction rod (as recommended by several people), and a bigger wrench.

I looked for alternatives to the $200 Geissele rod and found these two (click to view):

Midwest Industries Upper Receiver Rod .308

AR-10 308 Reaction Bar and Barrel Vice Block Rod Tool, Blue

While I like the price on the second one, I think it's aluminum and not up for heavy stress. The one from Midwest Industries appears to be the better choice.

Thoughts?

What wrench is recommended? The strap wrench I have slips when I really apply force.

I appreciate your recommendations for the two tools. I would prefer to not have to send the assembly back to the gunsmith who built this.

SOLD WTS: Seekins HIT Rifle with choice of barrel(s). 0 Rounds Thru.

Selling my Seekins HIT and the barrels / bolt faces with it.

Will post additional pictures shortly just wanted to get the post up.

I bought this with plans to customer a stock for it, which changed to buying the new Seekins M3 stock for it. Unfortunately, Seekins has informed me the old HIT action does not drop into the new M3 stock, so I’m just going to sell it. I was also informed my barrels are compatible with the new M3 action though so those can be used either way. That being said I’d rather sell it all and just move to a different platform.

Rifle purchased last summer from EuroOptic. Has installed the HIT PRO ARCA rail and NVM bridge. Also has A419 bolt knob adapter and American Rifle Company round bolt knob. Trigger was swapped out for a Geissele Super 700 but a single stage trigger tech will be included. Hard to find Geissele trigger can be included for an additional $300.

Asking $1,500 with choice of 1 Seekins Factory barrel and the appropriate bolt face. Additional barrels $500 each unless otherwise noted.

I have the following barrels for it, all brand new I fired.

Seekins Factory Pre-Fits:
24” 308 win M24
24” 6.5 CM M24
24” 6 CM M24
24” 6 GT M24

18” 223 WYLDE

7wsm rebarrel options

I have a m70 in 7wsm and was kicking around the idea of rebarreling as it’s at the end of its life. I was wondering what cartridge options I had to choose from. I was hoping the 6.5 SAUM was a choice as adg is making brass for it and I love the adg brass I’ve been running in my 300 wm. But looking forward to hearing my options. Hopefully I have this in the correct forum.

20" 556 vs 224v

I'm looking to build a cheapish long range ar. I'm torn between a 20" 224v or 556. Both psa uppers. I plan to potentially rebarrel either with a x caliber barrel in future if accuracy isn't great. But my question is which would you choose? Ammo supply isn't an issue and I have a yhm t3 can id like to use so that's why I'm sticking with those calibers. I can go 22arc but I'd have to rebarrel right away and I don't want to. Going out to 750 yards at local informal gas gun matches. I already have a 16" 8t ar but I'm leaving that set up with a dot for now.

Thermal Clip on/Rifle scope role swap question

Greetings,

This is my first time posting and I'm new to forums, so if I inadvertently break some rule let me know.

My question is as follows

I just invested in a thermal clip on, Infiray RICO Micro V2 640. I would like to use it as a primary optic for my AR, considering it's 4x zoom is perfect for my intended use for the rifle (500 yards and in).

I would also like to use it as a clip on to use on my 6.5 Creedmoor, as I use that rifle for my 400-1000 yard distances. I would use the regular optic on that, just using the thermal to assist in target spotting.

Now, will I have to re-zero the optic every time I switch it? Obviously no need to do that when going AR>6.5, but going 6.5>AR I don't want to have to do a major re-zero every time. I will do a confirmation zero with a few rounds each time, minor adjustments being no big deal. But should I expect have to do major adjustments each time I swap? I would prefer not to have to do that.
