    SOLD—-WTS Condition 0 Rackbone Mount

    Selling this Condition 0 Rackbone mount. Super cool truck mount to keep rifles mounted behind the front seats and easily accessible. I absolutely love this thing but I tote around more kids than I do rifles and it needs a new home. These retail for $195 and if you're not familiar with this...

    Gas length for 16" 6.5 Creedmoor

    I’ve got a 16” Faxon barrel with mid-length gas on a recent build. I’m still tweaking loads but have managed to get 2700+ with 120 ELDs, ~39 gr of Varget and small primer brass. Had to change to a JP HP bolt and heavy buffer spring/weight to get it to run smoothly, but no issues now.

    6.5C pressure issues

    Update. It took Faxon a while to get a look at everything given the holidays and Shot Show. They determined that eveything was to spec and agreed to refund the cost of the BCG that I purchased from them so I could try out a JP bolt (even returned the BCG to me). I have since purchased the JP...

    6.5C pressure issues

    Yeah at this point I am going to see if I can send the barrel and BCG back to Faxon to check specs. Hopefully they can send a replacement or refund if it is in fact the barrel or bolt.

    6.5C pressure issues

    Update: loaded up some H4350 from 40.5 up to 43.5 and shot them today. Primers were still cratering at all load levels but not flattening as bad as the Varget loads. Wipe marks are not as deep as the Varget either but still there. Early shots I did shut off the gas completely but didn’t seem...

    Makes sense. I’ll try my luck with the 4350. Thanks all.

    6.5C pressure issues

    My bad it’s actually a mid-length gas.

    6.5C pressure issues

    Looks like 1.548 to shoulders before and checked a few that averaged 1.556 so .008 increase.

    6.5C pressure issues

    Far left is 38.0gr of Varget and far right is 39.0gr and where I stopped. The one with the silver primer in front is before the buffer and spring change. Much flatter primer with flow.

    6.5C pressure issues

    Hi guys, Need to consult the knowledge base here. I'm not new to gas guns but new to the AR10 platform and am having some pressure issues with my 6.5C build and hand loads. Looking for some direction on how to correct this so I can get to shooting. Build Detail: Faxon Firearms 16" 6.5...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Has anyone figured out a way to dissolve the factory glue from the CTR rails? I got my Factory rail off but there was a lot of residual glue stuck to the action and rail. I've tried acetone, paint thinner, mineral spirits, and solvent with no success.

    I've got the 3-10 Weaver tactical mil/mil on my AAC-SD 700 in 300 blackout. It's second focal but great glass for the money.
