    Am I the only one........

    Re: Am I the only one........ Well, the Sinclair dry fire thingy slides into the bolt, but the bottom dimension is not "deep" enough to engage the hammer. I think that it could be modified to work. (Another day)

    Am I the only one........

    Re: Am I the only one........ I just got one of those AR15 dry fire thingys that allows the hammer to cock with 1/2" stroke of the handle. I haven't been able to see how it (doesn't) fit, so I will experiment and report. http://www.sinclairintl.com/1/1/9243-ar-...-marketing.html

    Am I the only one........

    Re: Am I the only one........ I am in dry fire hell with an AR10, and I was wondering whether any of these ideas had gained some traction.

    Online Copy of FBI 308 Ballistic Tests Thru Glass?

    Re: Online Copy of FBI 308 Ballistic Tests Thru Glass? The disc through Buford is worth the request gymnastics. It contains a metric ton of rifle data (308, 223, 6.5) and handgun data. It certainly provides an objective view of raw data. Buford was easy to talk to and very helpful, even...

    Re: Any LEO depts. issue 6.8s instead of 5.56? I am familar with an agency that is discussing the option. They have had poor 223 performance versus barriers.

    Droid "Shooter" ballistic program

    Re: Droid "Shooter" ballistic program Thanks Rafael! I bet youare correct that the weather data in my databook is not spot-on, so that is probably why my fired data is not matching the calculator. Junk in = Junk out.

    Droid "Shooter" ballistic program

    Re: Droid "Shooter" ballistic program I just got a Droid and I have been playing with the program versus my fired-data. It seems to be very close. I am trying to find a way to add a "correction factor" to get the data to match for future use. Any ideas?

    Advantages of Mid-Length Carbines for LEO's

    Re: Advantages of Mid-Length Carbines for LEO's Nice. That was a well written summary. The only departure I have from the write up is that that I think that overall barrel length is the most important factor in a rifle's "handy-ness" to a LEO. I really like ~11.5". You give up some...

    Barrel Burn-Out

    Re: Barrel Burn-Out Ok. So kraigWY says that rapid fire is hard on barrels? I am talking 20 rounds in 10-20 seconds.

    Barrel Burn-Out

    Re: Barrel Burn-Out Thanks LL. I was thinking that, but I could not find any data. I am getting a GAP AR10 with a Bartlein, and I don't want to do anything to harm it...but I plan on shooting it, at sniper matches and 3-gun. The 3-gun is where there will be some "hosing". I am (still)...

    Barrel Burn-Out

    I had read in a couple of different threads that rapid fire in a match grade barrel is detrimental to the barrel. Is there some "rules of thumb" to how much or how fast you can shoot a match barrel? Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    Re: Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures Thanks Jeff. I appreciate the consolidated positions of some great guys. I was left wondering if their position is the same in factory and custom barrels.
