    GAP -10 Failure to Feed/Eject

    That's not FGMM, its M1A OTM.

    JP Enterprises vs. Larue Tactical

    Bad info here. Every barrel LaRue is now sending out the door is first quality Match grade made in house.

    JP Enterprises vs. Larue Tactical

    I can't understand why there is so much LaRue bashing on this site. I ordered a 556 OBR last December. Dan at LT couldn't have been more helpful to me. He spent a lot of time answering all of my stupid newbie questions. It's why I ordered a LaRue. Another custom builder I spoke with...

    Long Range Semi-Auto Decision (GAP-10 or JP-LRP)

    I have a GAP 10 and I'm thinking of adding either a LaRue or JP 7.62 to the stable. Last week, LaRue told me the lead time for new orders was 4 months. I'm waiting on a 5.56 OBR that I ordered last December. Should get a call soon.

    My GAP-10 Setup/ What scope to go with?

    I put a NF 3.5-15 NP-R1 on my GAP-10. I like this very basic NSX a lot, but I'm moving it over to a different rifle and getting a NF ATACR MOAR-T reticle for the GAP-10. My GAP-10 is consistently a .5"-.75" rifle with factory match ammo (and I'm half blind and a lousy shooter).

    GAP-10 Accuracy Expectations

    I only have 100 rounds through my GAP-10 so far, but the most accurate load has been FGMM 168s. The four five-shot groups with FGMM 168s averaged right at .5 MOA. Nothing subsequent has shot quite as well, including Lapua 167s and 185s, but I need lots of work as a shooter. I'll try FGMM 175s...

    Anyone buy from Palmetto State Armory

    I started this thread because I was concerned when my card was charged, but several days went by and the product hadn't shipped. I was greatly relieved to see all the positive feedback from Hide members. I ordered a case of FGMM on Monday, May 5th. Palmetto shipped the ammo on Monday, May...

    Will these work on a GAP-10?

    Precision 5.56 AR worth it when you already have a .308 semi?

    I think you need several in each caliber.

    Best reasonably priced 223 bolt gun.

    Tell me a little more about the 223 CTR. I'm not familiar with it.

    Quality Hard-sided Gun Cases?

    Very helpful comments. Thanks. I need more than one, but point well taken that I don't need one for every gun. I'll get the Pelican and give a try. If I don't like it, I'll get another piece of foam and try again. You only need to cut the 'middle' piece.

    Quality Hard-sided Gun Cases?

    I'd like to get a couple nice hard cases for some recent purchases. Last night, I almost bought what looked to me to be a fantastic Pelican "Storm" case. I didn't buy it because it required me to cut out the middle foam layer as necessary for the rifle, scope, accessories, etc. I know I will...
