    AR15 BCG Recommendation

    I’ve used bolt carrier groups of all types, low end to high end, mil spec parkerized, dlc, nitride, nickel boron, chrome plated. I now only use quality mil spec phosphate bolt carrier groups. I’ve had the plating flake off of both nickel boron and chrome plated bolts and carriers. I had a young...

    Cleaning muzzle crown..

    Hey guys, just curious, how often, if at all, are you guys removing your muzzle devices and cleaning your muzzle crowns? I've had a few barrels that showed a discernible difference with a cleaned crown after about 600 rounds or so, and a few where I couldn't ever really tell if it helped or...

    Training Courses Who holds quality beginner LR classes in PA?

    Last I checked they're not. I emailed Fred about 6 months ago and he replied that he was moving to Florida. I took one of their DMR/recce classes and it was a ton of fun.

    Magtech (CBC) 77 gr SMK First Defense Ammo

    If it was a 10 shot group there’d be someone saying it’s gotta be 20 ?

    Magtech (CBC) 77 gr SMK First Defense Ammo

    True story. Seems to be a fast barrel as I’ve gotten higher velocity out of that 16” barrel than I have in others with the same rounds. I clock my velocities every 5-600 rounds or so to check for changes in average velocity. This one seems to stay the same and doesn’t accumulate any copper...

    Anyone using A1/A2 stocks?

    Thanks for the replies. I ditched the magpul PRS stock I had on my SPR due to the weight. I want to get started in PRS and DMR matches and I’m figuring a little less weight might be best as the gun was over 12 pounds with the PRS stock, bipod, heavy barrel, optic and mount, and I wasn’t sure...

    Magtech (CBC) 77 gr SMK First Defense Ammo

    What is a reasonable accuracy expectation?

    I actually expect more from the guns I’ve built at home than I would from any high end factory assembled rifle. The reason being that I’ve carefully selected the parts (that I have experience with) and assembled the exact rifle that I envisioned, so I know what it is capable of. Accuracy...

    Magtech (CBC) 77grn 5.56

    I used to use the IMI 77 razorcore exclusively. I used it for a class once and it hit reliably and consistently all the way out to 1030 yards on a less than torso sized target, out of a WOA 18” 1:7 barrel. Since then I’ve switched to the magtech 77’s because I started getting overpressure signs...

    Anyone using A1/A2 stocks?

    Hey all, I’m wondering if there’s anybody out there pushing their gas guns with A1 or A2 stocks instead of a magpul PRS or equivalent? I’ve used a magpul PRS gen 3, but it just made the gun so much damn heavier along with a couple other down sides.

    Bergara BMP?

    I have one in .308 and I love it. I'm getting 1/4' groups at 100yds using Federal GMM 175's
