    Suppressors gas blowback when using a suppressor on ar-15: gas buster charging handle or diy solution?

    I am running my suppressor more and more on my ARs, M1A, and Bolt action rifles. I have already fixed the gas blowback on my M1A by installing a gas shield (from a blank firing adapter kit). As far as the gas blowback on my ARs are concerned, i just wanted to ask what everyone else's opinions...

    best "period" rifle paired with the Malcolm 8x USMC sniper scope

    great info, Cpl Norton. Yes that was what I had heard and that they prefered the Army's rifle setup better. But knowing how shoddy the old reports were, you may be right as to what they were actually referring to. I had always thought that the Marines preference for the Army's sniper setup was...

    best "period" rifle paired with the Malcolm 8x USMC sniper scope

    my only real preference for using the 8x scope on the model 70 as opposed to the 1903, is that from everything I have read and heard the 1903 doesn't perform as well as the model 70 did. I have read numerous reports of the model 70 when paired with the 8x scope being a great rifle. plus most of...

    best "period" rifle paired with the Malcolm 8x USMC sniper scope

    thank you. at this stage I will probably go with mounting the 8x scope on a winchester model 70 and mount the 1903 with a M73B1. but I will keep my eyes and ears open. i will also check out the books mentioned. always love reading first hand accounts of historical sniping.

    best "period" rifle paired with the Malcolm 8x USMC sniper scope

    i am looking to build a period accurate retro sniper rifle using the Malcolm 8x USMC sniper scope. I got the chance to use this scope about 6 months ago (mounted on a 1903 springfield) and i loved the look and feel of it. I have seen numerous pictures of this scope and the originals mounted on...

    PRS Talk barrel length of bolt action 308

    I just noticed a lot of PRS competition shooters that still used 308 have 24" barrels. I prefer the shorter 20" barrels for maneuverability, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't sacrificing anything in accuracy and tighter groupings in longer ranges by choosing the 20" barrel. I have read a...

    Larue OBR 7.62 vs JP LRP-07

    I am looking to purchase a good AR-10. I have narrowed down my choices to the Larue OBR 7.62 with a 16" barrel and the JP Enterprises LRP-07 with a 16" barrel. I have heard nothing but good things about both of these rifles and the companies. I have heard that both rifles are capable of sub moa...

    FN Scar 16S CQC Barrel

    I see on FN's website they have a 10" replacement barrel called the CQC, but they don't list a price on that or anything else. Does anyone know how much they are or who sells them? Also is anyone running a 10" CQC barrel on a Scar 16s?
