That setup looks good. Didnt think anout the 1520. Anybody else?

Looking into getting a Pelican case to carry my pistols. I was thinking either 1500, 1510 or 1550. I plan on holding a minimum of 3 and up to 6 along with their mags. Main purpose is to and from range and possibly some travel. The 1500 may be a bit small for what I want to use it for. The...

yes sir may i have another? when and where do i send the funds?

And theres the pin. To me it looks like a 18" barrel. I would take it to a smith and have them cut the barrel and rethread and recrown. Measure from the front of the upper to the end of the barrel(not flash hider). As long as the barrel itself is 16" after the smith is done, you're ok. If...

Lets see some pictures. It was probably tack welded on, what length barrel? If it is longer than 16", you can have a smith chop the barrel off, recrown and turn some new threads on there. Shouldnt cost too much, $150+/- ? If it is shorter than 16", you might be in possesion of a illegal short...

I just spray brake clean or carb clean on it, wipe it down with a rag and lube it up. If its really bad, I soak it in hoppes 9 completely disassembled for a couple hours and brush with a brass brush, dry it then lube. I normally at least do my carb clean spraydown of the bcg after every...

Re: GAP 10 Base Height for Nightforce 5.5x22? I got a NF 5.5-22x50mm with the unimount on my Mega build. It fits perfect, it is a little on the tight side. Not too sure if a 56mm with bc cap would fit n there. Also depends how you like your cheek rest. Some guys prefer higher/lower, I...

Re: Ultimate AR build That's like asking how to build the ultimate Chevy or Ford. Everyone has different tastes, purpose and opinions. I'd go to your favorite online store and go from there. Rainier Arms is a good place to start. The problems is actually finding parts that are available...

Re: Big Enough Rifle Case Are you looking for a hard case or soft case? What's the total length and width of your stick? How big of a case are you looking for? Look into a Pelican if you want a hard case, 1750 will house up to 50" x 13"? 1770 will go up to 54" x 15"...

Re: 223 ammo My LaRue Stealth upper does not like steel cased ammo. After about 75rds, the cases start sticking in the chamber. My buddy's homebrew AR15 with Noveske barrel does fine with steel case ammo. YMMV.

Re: upper what do you like?? I've had luck with my LaRue Stealth. Hear nothing but good things about JP, BCM and POF.

Re: Need a gas port opened up, recommend smith please. You guys are killing me! I have all the tools to do it myself but unchartered territory scares me. I have an idea of how to do it the right way but uncertain if it is. It sounds like a simple job but not having done it before, ass...

Re: Need a gas port opened up, recommend smith please. I thought of Scott but I hear he's swamped and I'd like to get it back fairly quick. I do have the urge to drill it myself but I'm not too comfortable doing so, not my field so I don't know what I can fuck up. I've been a auto...

Re: Need a gas port opened up, recommend smith please. My Google-fu leads me to believe that JP and Barrett uses .104 on their 18" barrels and WOA uses .108? Most people are reporting .093-.097. Regardless, my gas port being under .070 is not enough. I ordered the barrel straight from...

Re: Need a gas port opened up, recommend smith please. yes, .750 JP low profile adjustable. I started with their recommended setting at 2 turns from closed. I back it out half turn at a time to where I only had 2 threads left. There was a point where I had a stovepipe. That was the most...
