    Hellfire brake not threading on freely

    Shoot an email to [email protected] or call 419-830-8353, we'll get you squared away. We gage 100% of adapters as they get boxed up, but we are human so some may get missed. Also possible that some of these were at the end of a gages life and unfortunately got paired with a barrel threaded in...

    Area 419 Recoil Suppression System

    Holy crap cant believe my saved login info still worked!! lol The other thing to keep in mind when we discuss recoil is that is only part of the story when it comes to staying on target, and honestly probably not as important. Muzzle control is what we are seeing here. While the rifle may...

    Area 419 Hellfire Suppressor Mounts

    The universal adapter that the brake attaches to has not changed since the very first release of the brakes, so all suppressor mounts gen 1 or gen 2 will work with the universal adapters. The Gen 1 vs Gen 2 strictly designates how the suppressor mount itself works. Gen 1 mounts worked exactly...

    Area 419 Hellfire Suppressor Mounts

    I know over on the old forum there were a lot of people wondering about the availability of the SilencerCo suppressor mounts for the Hellfire Brake System. Just thought Id update that we have the Omega mounts ready, which also fit the Hybrid and Harvester Big Bore. We also have the Harvester 30...

    6mm Creedmoor Freebore Questions

    You will need a 298 neck for necking down Alpha brass without turning. If you want to turn, Id go 275 neck and turn to 2715ish loaded. Freebore. 143 freebore puts the 110mk at 2.900 at the lands, and only around 0.190" of bearing surface in the neck. Also, go JGS. Not sure if you are...

    Gunsmithing Chambering proof research barrel

    Not sure why youd be holding it that far back to begin with. Theres enough shank there to hold onto steel, and thats the only thing Id hold onto. Only other consideration is, dont fuck it up, $800 replacement instead of $300.

    Area 419 Funnel Kits

    Demand for these has been overwhelming. I try not to do too huge of batches for the initial run just in case there are any improvements I should make. That being said, as soon as I finish making all of the loading blocks from the initial ultimate kit orders, I'll be running more funnels this...

    Resizing Lapua 6.5 creedmoor brass to 6mm creedmoor

    I did a piece of sample brass I snagged from SHOT show. Loaded neck diameter is basically identical to that of Hornady 6 creed headstamp. Just used a Redding non-bushing die.

    Gunsmithing Dont laugh you big cnc guys, but thoughts on a HAAS Mini Mill?

    Yeah, I should probably forget about it. Just got a little excited seeing all the tooling and the 4th axis. 16" really does limit the work, probably no chance of barrel fluting. Only really be able to do bolts, inlet stocks, make brakes, etc. Maybe if it was a stupid cheap deal.

    Gunsmithing Dont laugh you big cnc guys, but thoughts on a HAAS Mini Mill?

    I am in need of a new mill, and would rather just get a CNC than another manual. I would love a nice big machine, but I have no access to real 3 phase (I know I could run a rotary). Also, am unsure of my concrete in my shop to set a 6000lb+ machine in there I also do not do this full time, so...

    Gunsmithing how critical is trueing a ar15 upper receiver?

    I have trued the face up on a few just to be sure the barrel extension seats square, not sure if it helps, but probably didn't hurt, and only takes 5 minutes. I did it pretty basic, used a precision ground 1" bar and put a removable dog in it to drive the receiver through the ejection port. Get...

    Gunsmithing Because who doesn't like a GoPro lathe video?

    Iscar DNMG 332 or 432 depending how big your setup is, IC908. Similar 55* profile tool, works great. I did have a bad Shars toolholder that has kept me from trying more, may have been a one off thing, but the insert was not tight in the holder and was able to rotate back and forth even with it...

    Gunsmithing Barrel screwed on action at an angle

    Yikes, thats a tough call. Looks like they bedded the barrel channel to compensate for the barrel being off center? If you have it apart, and want a second opinion, you can send it to me and Ill dial it in and see what everything looks like. Really hard to make any conjectures based on the...
