Watch Out for Scammers!
We've now added a color code for all accounts. Orange accounts are new members, Blue are full members, and Green are Supporters. If you get a message about a sale from an orange account, make sure you pay attention before sending any money!
If you stick with a standard or full mass carrier, look for a small gas port barrel or, although I hate them, adjustable gas block. Just do regular maintenance on the gas block.or as mentioned above, find a machine shop and have them make you an insert.
There is a lot of guessing in this thread. Be careful. No, the buffer being heavier is not the same as the BCG being heavier. Typing out all the info would be a pain on a phone. People using “hammer effect” are guessing. One slows unlocking/extraction, the other acts like a dead blow. They work...
Sell it off and run the 6-6.5 harder with the money made off the sale of the others. Unless it’s a classic/family gun, I just keep the ones I run hardest/most.
Ran a 2 shot ladder every .3grains. H4150 40.4-42. Sierra 142SMK, Peterson Brass. Found a really flat spot from 40.9-41.4. Loaded 12 at 41.1grains 2803 FPS-avg 19ES 1 at 2816 and 1 at 2797. Most were 2802-2812. 5.3 SD Had real bad mirage so didn’t shoot groups.
different strokes for different loads. IMO, no single practice is best always. Some rifles show great flat spots in the ladder, mine happened to have an awesome ladder test. Doing the OCW test on the same gun, every load grouped great. Doing strictly OCW w/o a chrono would be deceptive as the...
Before I bought my Impact, I was advised by 2 very highly regarded smiths to go with LP Fuzion or Impact. Only reason I went Impact over it is because of the Tenon but now I believe Fuzion has the Tenon dialed for headspace and swap barrels.
A lot of what you assume, I have not stated. I have not stated anything about 7075 other than it being stronger than commercially used and far cheaper 6061. Do you really think the TDP from the 60's or even 80's is still being utilized for todays guns? Clearly you are unable to read and think...
I completely understand why squaring the receiver to the bore is important. I frequently use a Mill and lathe. As for the Bolt, 2 lugs bearing all the engagement can ensure proper lock up and ensure accuracy, Depending on what ones. But yes it will eventually fail. I never posted in this...
Have you worked on commercial receivers or those built to the TDP from Colt? You are assuming. I have an Armory on over 50 MK18, CQB commandos, M4s which I am responsible for maintaining. All built specifically to TDP. Not commercial “Mil-Spec.” I have yet to find or receive one that is not sub...
Just to clarify, I have not worked for any mfgr. I have not looked at the TDP. Like I said, only Manufacturers who have govt contracts can possess or build off the TDP, Like a patent. I have had extensive training by people who have built to TDP and who currently build them. I highly doubt any...
I understand tolerances. The .002 is mechanical. If I take that gun and shoot a group, will it still put 10 rounds into the required max dimension? Yes it will. Every gun ever made, even full blown customs have some dimension .001-.002 off square. But that .002 does not change so The only thing...
Again, Mil-spec does not mean built to TDP. The commercial market does not make a gun built to TDP. They use Mil-Spec to con people to think they have a military grade gun.
