Thank you!

I would second getting a folder..

Even if you buy some aftermarket thumbscrews to remove the cheekpiece.. you will still cut your knuckles up when running a rod through the barrel on the chassis (unless you buy an ultra long cleaning rod)

I now don't have that issue though as I've dropped my AT into a Vision Chassis.

Who makes the aftermarket thumb screws?

Because I don’t need to.

Boretech and a few patches and it’s clean
God that stuff works like magic. I held off so long on spending that kind of money for a solvent but I’m glad I did.

The boomer in me was always like “Sweets and Hoppes 9 are the way to go”
::years of hours and brain cells lost later::
“Let me try this BT stuff.”

I always used hopped and sweets too. The smell is something you never forger

The Boretech stuff works miracles. I even run their red lube in a tube on the lugs of my actions and it doesn’t fine job of that too. No more stinky Hoppes/Sweets here.

Wait till you discover wipe out by sharpshooter for the ultra lazy like myself... Prefer it over boretech honestly but BT is pretty good.....

I pull my barrels tho when I clean them just way easier that way.
 
Which Boretech solvent(s) do you use? I have eliminator and find it works pretty well at dissolving copper but is weak on carbon?

I'm always looking for a magic bullet when it comes to cleaning, will check out Wipe Out also.

For what it's worth I've talked to a well respected barrel head guy here and while he doesn't hate BT he has seen quite a bit of issue with regards to corrosion. I sent my barrel in for evaluation because of some abnormal pitting in the last 4" of barrel. He asked if I shot it suppressed (always) and if i used boretech. He believes a the BT stuff that isn't dry patched out and immediately followed up by a good oil cause premature pitting ESPECIALLY when shot suppressed.

I was all in on BT until this experience. Not rushing what are now $450 barrel blanks

Interesting

I thought it was the after effects of using CLR and not the Boretech

Sheeeet! if BT carbon remover is going to be like that I might as well pull back out my big jug o' CLR (at least it's cheap.) As long as any of these chemicals are used sparingly and patched out with IPA & dry patches afterwards it can't be that bad.

@TheBigCountry @TylerN

His other least favorite is people using CLR haha! again he said they work but you need to be extra cautious about cleaning the cleaner out and protecting the barrel after.

I had typically always run 2 dry patches after cleaning, then 1 soaked in slip2000 and then 1 dry. Apparently that wasn't enough using it with BT. Of the things I had on hand he said just go back to Hoppes 9.

I know who this guy is lol
 
Probably... he's really the only active one around lol. Just didn't want to spell it out there. Chances are if you talked to him he'd tell you the same but that's for him to say.
I figured. I have one of his barrels and it hammers

I think more than half the problem is people going ham on their barrels and not getting the shit out. Dry patch it a bunch then hit it with rem oil and you’re golden.

WoW, crazy setup, what is the ITAR protected scope ?
 
Is $8000.00 for an MC (338) like new condition okay number?
@Huskydriver i think had his for sale here a while ago

You see them for $6700-$7000 here. And they sit at that price sometimes

Sold mine for $8500 I think. That was with all 3 bolts and 6.5 and 300 PRC barrels. Wasn’t instantly sold and based my asking price off searching this site for sold MC’s

Of course with the price increase it maybe more now. I’d think $7000 would be a reasonable counter offer based on what I’ve seen here
 
If you’re shopping @toygunner has a solid deal posted.
Here it is

This seems like a solid deal in today’s prices

 
looks like you are still using a nokia from 2002 as well :D
Well it just hasn't died yet 🤷‍♂️. Still on the original battery charge!

I'm 5'7 with a long torso.... you know how hard it is to stretch so you can crop out your feet and take a picture before you tumble over? Lol

Thanks for detailed answer man appreciate it. This one does not come with anything else. Gonna pass

Mine is cheaper 🤣

Also bear in mind if it's a small firing pin bolt or not. Axmc came with large from the factory. If the seller is including a factory SFP bolt body, that shiz ain't cheap and are more desirable than large. Also ask if the they say it's SFP if they are bushed or if it's a factory SFP.

Still breaking in my new 6 GT barrel that Matt Stewart spun up for me (he used my rifle to get set up for making prefits). It's a 27" Krieger. So far I've got 58 rounds of factory Eagle Eye 105gr Hybrids through it. I also got to play with my new Accu-Tac WB-4 (should have gone with the WB-5...I'm maxed out with a short rear bag).

I started with another 5 rounds at 100 just to see if I could duplicate my efforts from a rest a few weeks ago. So far, it's been fairly consistent.

Went to 250 yards real briefly. Looked promising and was consistent again with my 100 yard results.

Then I tried my new "range" off of the back yard. Previously I had to drive a few hundred yards to get to a spot where I could shoot further than 385. However I set up my new gong through the trees and over the creek. It measures 659 yards from my back fence, so about 655 when I'm stretched out. Hardly any real distance, but it works for me.

The difficult part for me is that the wind calls will be a touch more tricky until I set up some flags. I sent 5 last rounds downrange before packing it up and getting back to chores.
