    Differences between AI PSR and AXMC

    From what I understand the barrel tenon is larger on the PSR. The PSR was only made once for a contract trial. The AXMC uses the quick change barrel and stock from the PSR program. The PSR was not adapted but will continue to be supported from AINA. So very similar but different. Forgot...

    Gunsmithing SBR Laser Engraving - San Antonio TX

    He has done 3 SBR's for me over the past couple years. Top notch work, plenty deep and he has always done it while I waited too. I also had him numbers match a virgin AKSU-74 it for me and it turned out great.

    AI AX Bore Guide

    I ordered one of Mike Lucas' bore guides and it's very nice. One of my buddies gave me an older AI AW factory bore guide that locks into the bolt catch which is kinda neat but it's not quite as good as the Lucas one. The nice thing about the Lucas guide is that it is sized for your cleaning...

    Thumler's tumbler mods post your pics

    I got my Rebel 17 a couple weeks ago and ran a ton of cases through it while I was home. Works great! I only had one batch that got a bit spotty but I'm sure that was due to my sloppy measuring technique with the lemon shine. ;) It runs real well although I never had any experience with the...

    Suppressors Anyone have a problem with Kidd barrels? TBAC 22L doesn't fit....

    I think that is exactly what is happening with mine. It feels like the threads are too tight before it gets to the 0.40" spot on the threads. Just a little too snug for my liking but I have been spoiled my really nice threading on my .260 that Mile High did for me. (30P-1 in 5/8-24) I think...

    Suppressors Anyone have a problem with Kidd barrels? TBAC 22L doesn't fit....

    Well Tony got back to me a few minutes ago. He said: "We can shorten the threads on your lightweight barrel to .400, if you would like but we don't chase threads to change the pitch. Good shooting, MKidd". I'm really not sure if just shortening the threads will fix it or not. I need to find...

    Suppressors Anyone have a problem with Kidd barrels? TBAC 22L doesn't fit....

    I will do that for sure. I bought mine for the same reason. :(

    Suppressors Anyone have a problem with Kidd barrels? TBAC 22L doesn't fit....

    Yeah I noticed the same thing on my Kidd barrel. I am going to pull it off and take it over to Kidd and see if they will rethread it for me or else I am going to end up sending it out to somebody else to have it rethreaded. Kind of a bummer but at least I have one barrel (Pac-Lite) that it...

    Hornady modified case in .260- like trying to find a hen's tooth!

    If he doesn't want it, I'll happily take it. I can't find one either. :(

    Which annealer do you have?

    I'm also considering buying a Giraud annealer. It looks very convenient. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    16" .308 barrel on my AX I'm going to see how it shoots and then pull it off to have it threaded and paint it black. :D
