Honestly, if they remove the $200 tax then I might as well SBR it. I am already on the registry for my suppressor and everyone elses list because of my CHL. so what am I losing by getting the SBR stamp? I don't travel outside of Texas and if I do, I will take something else not on the list...

Annealeaz. the others werent out when i bought mine. it was annealeaz or DIY it yourself. i think they had some of the high-end ones out but too much for me. i was using a drill socket and torch when starting out.

I have one of the early ones. no digital gauge, regulator, special arm, or any of that. mine runs great for 223, 6.5 Grendel, and 260 Remington. I point the flame away from the body/wheels, so they don't melt. I haven't had the issue of the flame having to be adjusted either. set it and go...

I used a weathered stain then sanded it down to give it more of a weathered look. then just used this to seal it. had it on a couple of benches and it works great.

great to hear. thank you

this site pulls up on scam reports. anybody purchased from them?

As others stated, depends on your barrel thickness and ambient temp. heavy barrels i usually run between 7-10 shots before a break and my AR's i run about 5. Maybe 1-2 mins between shots. I write down speeds, notes if i pulled it, check brass, etc to waste the boring wait time between shots...

I just finished mine about a month ago. its 9' long x 24" deep x 48" tall (im 6'4" so its perfect elbow height while standing) I built it using 1/2" sande plywood, the top is 3/4" (looking back i should have done a butcher block top for the stiffness, the 3/4" plywood has some flex across the 3'...

like others said, primers are not reliable pressure signs but those still have rounded edges and no bolt swipe. good to go. i would go more off of bolt lift feel and swipe.

I neck down 308 brass to 260. i do have to turn necks so they chamber. (these are once fired military brass) Honestly, unless you love spending hours on brass prep, I wouldn't bother with it and just buy some 260 brass. I do enjoy the process so i continue to do it but understand it is a process...

I was hoping for someone to show their AR with a 7" barrel and a 6-24 scope (with a full sunshade so it sticks out past the barrel), call it their Recce build and watch the heads explode. thank yall for the laughs. truly didnt disappoint.

I turn necks because after sizing 308 brass to 260 rem, the necks are too thick to fit my chamber to fire form and there is a donut on the shoulder so neck turning fixes these issues. otherwise, I wouldnt do it. Only reason i am still necking down brass is because i got over 2000 cases of 308...

I've been using Ammoseek.com to find primers. havent purchased any, damn bank account said no, but they have reviews on the site of people that used it. obviously do your research but maybe it will help.

yes and no. mine will pick up the rounds (high sensitivity) but the speed is very sporadic and not trustworthy. wish I saved for the bigger version so it would fit on the suppressor. I run the same setup/suppressor

I have used the 143 eld-x and the 130 Hybrids out of a 260 rem. both of them left massive holes in the neck and DRT. using the 143 eld-x, i hit a pig at 300 yards in the high shoulder, DRT. while there was some meat loss, i didnt have to track it. All 3 were pass throughs. I see success in...
