My gunsmith couldn't do left hand nor metric threads, but I measured, with calipers, enough meat on the barrel for 9/16x24 threads. He said the bore was far enough from concentric to the OD that he couldn't do 9/16x24, so, without first consulting me, he cut 1/2x28 and gave me an adapter to...

What powder do you run in that beast, and what kind of velocity do you get with the heavier pills? Very cool.

As another possibility, you could run a 20 MOA EGW extendariser and rings of your choice. That's what my LR6.5 wears.

I've been very happy with the DPMS LR series. I had one in .308 that ran for 736 problem-free rounds, except for one that failed to chamber. That was my fault though, because I rode the charging handle forward. The 24" heavy barrel let you know you had no lightweight carbine for running a...

A few other Blackout shorty makers off the top of my head: Palmetto State Armory Black Hole Weaponry Wilson Combat AR Stoner

Does it shoot poorly with just one load or with a variety of loads that do well in the gun sans the can? Odd that it happens with only the OBR. There's another poster here, 1slowz71 is his handle, I think, that also has accuracy issues with his YHM Ti QD can. Oh, and go Red Raiders! (I'm...

On steel at 50 to 100-ish yards, the 300 makes a heckuva lot more clang than does the .223/5.56, though certainly not as much as a .308. This was with a 16" barrel. I don't expect much difference with the 10.5" barrel as soon as the tax stamp arrives. I see no reason why pinning and welding...

That's a very kind offer, z71! I don't have the QD FH on my gun, yet, but I imagine Silencer Shop wouldn't have a problem giving me the FH from my suppressor--it's paid for.

My Ti Phantom is still a few months out, but I'm very curious what effect it will have on accuracy, if any, on my 6.5 Creedmoor.

I had an AR in 7.62x39 and didn't understand the big fuss about the 300 Blackout. Other than a wider variety of magazine options and a better selection of bullets for reloaders, I didn't see any advantage to the 300. My 7.62x39 was cheaper to shoot, and it was slightly more powerful. However...

There are more than 8000 comments submitted, though less than 4000 have been posted. I submitted my comments by fax last week. I wonder if that 8000 number includes mailed and faxed responses or if that's just the comments submitted via the regulations.gov website?

Form 4 Trust YHM Ti Phantom 7.62 Sent: 4-9-2013 (this is the original payment the BATF lost about which they sent the error letter more than two months later) Resent: 6-24-2013 Pending: 8-28-2013 Approved: BATF estimate in early September was May of 2014; I assume that's now no earlier than...

Mike, my experience parallels yours up to the point where you got the check cashed email 2-3 weeks later. I went to the Silencer Shop in early April with my trust and cash in hand. They filed the paperwork and wrote a check for me. Next communication I got was from the Silencer Shop stating...

I find the ACE stock with the foam RET cover pretty comfy. It's fine for a range rifle, but probably lacks durability for heavy field use.

Performance wise, the two are close enough that it's a toss up. I believe that the one you pick boils down to whether you'll shoot factory ammo or not. If you plan to shoot more factory ammo than reload, go Creedmoor. Hornady's 120 and 140 grn Amax loads run about $1.30 a round at MidwayUSA...
