Semi auto rifles are almost never as accurate as bolt guns. Particularly large frame ARs are harder to get to run well and shoot accurately compared to a bolt gun. Plus bolt guns are easier to maintain and cleaner (no dirty direct impingement gas systems). The advantage of a semi auto in a...

There are many makers of barrel vises, this is the one that I have, the Short Action Customs (SAC) modular barrel vise: https://shortactioncustoms.com/product/modular-barrel-vise/ It's on the upper end of the price range, but the less expensive SAC Bravo barrel vise is also excellent. If...

If you can get and use a torque wrench, barrel vise, and action wrench, you can put the pieces together yourself. Start buy buying a modern action that gunsmiths make shouldered prefit barrels for. They make them for the actions that reliably hold tolerances so tight that the gunsmith doesn't...

I've been using Comp Tac IWB holsters for over 10 years and I like them a lot. They ship very quickly, no long wait times.

I just got my Carbon Grey mount and it's high quality and works well. For the price it's an excellent value and includes an Arca clamp. Shipping was super quick, I ordered it on Tuesday and got it today, 2 days later.

For ARs I use the Tactical Brass Recovery (TBR) catcher and it's expensive but works great. For my bolt gun in matches I use the MPA brass catcher which also works very well, with my ARC Archimedes action, I just need to make sure to run the bolt firmly so the cases get thrown into the catcher...

For a rifle barrel, copper and nickel anti seize will work equally well, nickel is a premium anti seize suitable for extremely high temperatures, but for what we're using them for, they both are fine.

I use nickel anti seize, but Aeroshell 64 would probably work just fine. The AE is a conventional barrel torqued onto the receiver and I would use anti seize (or your Aeroshell 64) on the barrel threads

Yes they will. I have a Stiller Spectre which is the same thread and Remage barrels work just fine.

Your not supposed to force a bolt closed on a gauge, could damage the gauge and isn't doing your action any good. If you feel any resistance on a no go gauge that means your action doesn't want to close on it and your chamber is good if it closes on a go gauge with no resistance

Did you adjust the ocular properly? Not doing that right will give you a blurry reticle and blurry image https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/setting-up-a-ffp-rifle-scope-a-simple-psa-on-diopters.6252841/ I don't have one but my friend who has the 4-16, 5-25, and 7-35 ATACR has let me...

It looks like corrosion but until you swab it out with solvent and a penetrating oil like Eezox or Kroil, it's hard to know for certain. However, I've seen barrels that looked bad inside that shot very well, so I'd probably clean it with solvent then go shoot it...

You can get profit Tikka barrels from PVA. Other than that, I agree that in todays world it doesn't make sense to get any action that doesn't have profit barrels available.

In this megathread, @Frank Green talked a little about having his barrels coming back for issues where BT products might have something to do with it. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/for-the-love-of-god-gi-joe-and-john-wayne-cleaning-and-abrasive-cleaners.7183723/ Well I did have...

The projectiles that you load 300 BLK are not ideal for 308, but if that doesn't matter to you, you could make them work in a 308
