I have a Leupold ERT 4.5-14x50 FFP. I noticed something awhile back, but forgot about it until seeing it again today. The extreme edges of the sight picture show a "ring" of distortion. And I mean extreme edge. This occurs at all magnifications until about 13X and then it moves completely out of...

Re: Bill Wilson trigger jobs? I'm by no means a ninja with a rifle, but he did a trigger job for me and it breaks like glass and I've had no issues. He was quick and friendly. I must disclose that I have never fired a Giselle or any of the top tier triggers, but I like what I have. Grunt

Re: LWRC Lower and installing a Magpul ASAP I agree on the noise and the getting stuck in the collapsed position, but it's not my choice and the boss is always right, eh? Thanks for the advice, folks. I'll wait and call LWRC on Monday just to make sure on the warranty. He spent too much on...

Alright, I am installing (or supposed to) an ASAP sling point on my bosses LWRC lower. Nothing to it, right? Except I notice that on the castle nut to end plate it appears they used a punch to "lock" the castle nut in place. I figure I can work around that except I want to make sure that I'm...

Re: Upper/Lower for varmint build Stiller Precision makes an awesome billet lower that has a tension screw that helps snug the lower to the upper. Their actual price is significantly lower than the "MSRP" on their website. Snugs up real nice on a VLTOR MUR, too. grunt

Re: 264 LBC done The AA website has what they are calling a "economy" round for sale for a limited time. The round is a 115 grain Berger HPBT in Hornady brass. Selling for about the same as Palmetto's Hornady ammo. I have no affiliation, just came across what appears to be a good deal. My...

Re: Vltor MUR upper / Bad Lever?? I'm not sure what Noveske is using, but what I have is a VLTOR MUR with the assist. It is forged and I don't think they make a special MUR for Noveske. You could call Sheri at Noveske and ask her. She's very helpful. They have great customer service...

Re: Vltor MUR upper / Bad Lever?? It fits on mine. It does rest against the upper (VERY tight fit), but seems to function normally.

Re: Grendel/6.5CSS Cartridge Change? Eleaf, Is your gauge by Sheridan? What barrel are you running?

Re: Grendel/6.5CSS Cartridge Change? Okay, After a long pause here's what I discovered. I sent an email to Hornady asking (politely) WTF? They contacted me prompty via email and said they wanted me to ship the ammo back to them for testing by their lab as well as telling me they would do...

Re: Grendel/6.5CSS Cartridge Change? I got my grendel gauge from AA today and checked all 200 rounds of Hornady ammo I have. 60 out of 200 rounds do NOT seat in my gauge with most of them stopping at least 3/8" prio to flush. I will be contacting Hornady tomorrow to see what they might have...

Re: Satern Custom Machining Has anyone heard any comment from Hornady about this? Seems like a fairly big deal to me. Also, in the AR platform, how would you know without gauging each round if it is too long other than rounds that obviously don't chamber? Is this a safety issue? I have...

Re: Grendel/6.5CSS Cartridge Change? That is great info from Satern. I'll contact LW and confirm this is what they were/are considering. Seems crazy that anyone would sell ammo that is out of spec (especially Hornady). I guess I need to get a gauge and check what I have.
