    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    I can't say for sure if the AM338 will thread on but my guess is that it's compatible. With that said, if you have a MK22 I'd just wait for the right cans to be available.

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    I've tested with different bipod locations and a tripod and haven't seen a zero shift either. I still need to test with a bag on a barricade but I can't imagine that's a whole lot different than what I've already done.

    Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

    Worst thing about Corvettes are the other owners 😂

    KAC vs Radian Model 1 vs JP enterprises ctr-02

    JP is a gamer gun. KAC is a military rifle. Pick whatever suits your fancy.

    Could I make this into a cool “clone”?

    Crane Spec Gas Port .070 Mil-Spec Buffer Spring H2 Buffer That combo is about as proven as it gets, so start trying to sort out where things went wrong.

    AXSR Action screws

    Always a fight with any sort of service on an AI. I had a tough time with Mile High last time something broke.

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    Vivacious Stallion posted about first hand experience of an AXSR going down in a match. AI failures happen, and they are certainly not all in a "trust me, it happens a lot" scenario. With that said, AI's are perfectly fine rifles but they aren't markedly better in harsh conditions than a 700...

    How Relevant is the Nightforce NX8 4-32?

    I find the glass in my NX8 4-32 to equal if not beat the glass in my ATACR 7-35. Could be a really good NX8 against a mediocre ATACR, I don't have the sample size to say.

    AXSR action bolts issue

    Hope it gets fixed without any issues. Sounds like a machining or hardware error. Have to wonder how many other rifles were affected.

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    4 pages later and someone has finally acknowledged that positions change impact, I'm glad we finally made it there. Kudos to you for doing the testing to prove this to yourself and documenting it. The mechanics of a rifle firing have been documented for a long time; the rifle starts recoiling...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    They copied KACs homework but missed the parts you mentioned. Probably works just fine, but then again so would a traditional set screw gas block. 5.56 guns are not temperamental in terms of gassing, a sealed system is far more significant (IMO) when you step up to large frame.

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Dewey makes the Barrett bore guides. If you ask them they'll make you a 30 cal bore guide, just put it in the notes of the order. I'm not aware of any third-party cans that are compatible with the Barrett brake. Remove the brake, install what you need.

    Craddock RTR

    This is where I'm at as well, but I've also paid for the top shelf stuff to discover that doesn't mean you get a half minute barrel with factory ammo. This Craddock has performed nearly as well as any other large frame gas gun I've shot with the exception of a couple Knight's rifles and one...
