What's the selling price?

A gas ring can foul function. Deep tool marks on the carrier where contact is with the cam pin. Flawed bolt tail? Firing pin fouled? Binding hammer function?

Any mil spec bcg on the shelf fits with your requirements. They will all exceed your expectations.

These optics are professional grade, but novices recognize their quality too. Given both, USO is successful and will be.

Good idea to precision-rifleize a Larue. Should perform splendidly.

As you suggest, believing anyone selling something at a gun show is like believing someone selling something at a carnival. Its foolish. Do it, the 243 I mean. So what if barrel life is less than inferior performing cartridges. That's why. 243 outperforms them. No free lunch. Ever. Tires...

For $65.00 Bill Springfield in Colorado Springs will fix your stock trigger to about 2.5 clean. Guns and gear are not controversial. Ego is. Ego seeks to be right. "My trigger is better than your trigger….". Take advice from experience like Sterling Shooter for example. The rest might...

Well the Armalite bolt has been working a long time. Try it. It'll work for you too. Await the seasoning time for the "HP" (how bolts should be designed anyway) configured bolt.

Cratering in auto-loaders will affect ejection. Think. Part of the primer is sticking into the firing pin hole in the bolt face. that adversely affects smooth cycling. Cratering in autos is a no go.

Pick up a vintage 1970's Weaver K-4 for about $50 or less. Use until the finish is worn on the rig. Upgrade optic with a graduated vertical reticle and be done.

308 NATO? I quit reading there. Buy ORD a case of what he likes and listen to him. Don't talk or write. Listen and read.

My "drop-in" fix is an Armalite bolt, carrier, pin and DPMS barrel extension. Works. And works flawlessly. Head spaces correctly, shoots accurately, reliable. Runs like a sewing machine. ORD is right to feel we shouldn't do it. I do shit all the time I'm not supposed to do. Its how I...

JPE,DPMS,Armalite. DPMS extension. The springed pin is Armalite. The other is DPMS. These are the only tools need to work on an AR:

I know. John Paul and I argued about this issue two years ago. Took him awhile but I'm glad someone purporting to have an "enhanced" bolt actually produces a bolt with enhancements. By the way; an attendant issue is firing pin reliability. In the 6.5x47 I built we bushed the bolt and turned...

How do I find out which are the better parts to use for my build? Asking those with more experience is one excellent way, but how do I find experienced shooters and smiths? Unless the experience of the opinionated one is obvious, research is one way to find experience and information. You are...
