    SR25 Upper Compatibility

    Do your pins go in easy on that upper? I had a lead on some Troy uppers but it looks like they fit about the same as the Centurions.

    SR25 Upper Compatibility

    In summary the front pin won’t go in on either SR25 upper without a slight reaming. On one LMT lower the pin goes on partially, on another it will seat but with a fair amount of resistance. Lines don’t look bad but there is a slight gap. I’ll run with it for now.

    Can you bed without using any Loctite?

    If I’ve never put that much heat back into it. All of them I’ve ever done basically turn your reciever into a thermal fit upper. A bit of heat to get the old barrel out, remove any loose or flaking stuff, lightly rough the loctite present in the upper already, re-apply loctite to the new...

    Can you bed without using any Loctite?

    A little heat and it will still come out with loctite.

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    I saw his videos. That was part of inspiration for mine. I think you could get away with machining the hand guard on a LM8 or maybe one of the m-lok uppers for the double railed GB’s. Definitely not on a quad railed version though. Like you said, kind of kills the aesthetic of the whole thing...

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    @5RWill Did you put one together with the SR25 cartel/HTX barrel/gas block with a LMT upper?

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    I’m doing a mk11 mod 0 as soon as I can get my hands on one of these. This was always one of the biggest hurdles if you didn’t want to spend 1500-2000 on a rail. Great time to be alive!

    Any Remington 750 gurus?

    If it’s anything like a 742 or 760 series of rifles then yes. I would advise against it though. Those things were garbage to begin with; not worth the time, effort, or money. If you are after a cheap .35 Whelen get a Savage 10/110 or Remington 700 adl and throw a .35 Whelen barrel of your...

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    I had it out Thursday and worked up a load with 175 gr matchkings and some N140. Shot 10 rounds into .840”. Multiple 5 rounders in the .625 to .75 range. I didn’t take any pictures, didn’t cross my mind. This is not how it typically shoots. With 175 gmm it has been right around an inch for 5...

    Who uses BLC2 successfully

    44gr under a 175 smk has shot well for me in the past. I believe an iteration m118 was loaded with WC846 which is essentially non-canister BLC-2 As for the dirty part I have noticed it seems to leave some very hard to remove carbon in the bore, especially the 2-3 inches past the chamber. The...

    50 Shades of ODG

    I was inspired by a post in the LMT MWS thread several years ago. Took awhile but got it mostly the way I want.
