    Suppressors Extreme POI shift from AACSDN6

    A gunsmith in CO springs threaded a 308 varmint barrel I had laying around and didn't do the job correctly. This led to me having to find a way to get the shoulder at the end of the threads re cut as they were somehow cut off axis to the bore. threads, thank god, were loose enough fit that...

    .308 Hard Bolt Lift with hand loads--McMillan TAC 308

    Use a Michrometer to measure the web size on 5 pieces of fired brass. Compare this to sami spec for casings and chamber dimensions. See if it is in spec. If the web needs more sizing send it those five pieces to someone on here with a small base die set to get sized. Measure the webs now...

    Subsonic .308 Load. Trail Boss or Titegroup?

    10.5 trailboss behind 190grn MK and some leftover Hornady 190's as well. Out of 12 twist 19" Remington factory varmint barrel. Loads of fun at longer range 200-400 although at 400 it's a crap shoot for me. A couple of notes. I sorted through all my Hornady brass I had and found two lots of...

    Gunsmithing Oh Crap!! Round stuck in chamber

    Re: Oh Crap!! Round stuck in chamber I fail to see what the horrible problem with pushing a bullet back into a case? We have pounded out dozens of stuck rounds before using a brass rod with a steel insert. That rod hammer pictured above however bothers me. All it takes is the claw to rip...

    So whats the opinion on this LAW folder for AR's.

    Re: So whats the opinion on this LAW folder for AR's. I just bought one of these after looking over this thread. The idea that my 21" barreled 6.5 grendel will now fit in the same case as my 16 carbines is very attractive just to make storage easier. Still to new for me so bought one and...

    M2HB Problems HELP PLEASE

    Re: M2HB Problems HELP PLEASE Glad you got it fixed but I have to say I am amazed you bought a belt fed 50bmg without seeming to have any considerable experience with one? They are extremely complex piece of machinery to get into with a lot of power being handled to not know 100% what you...

    M2HB Problems HELP PLEASE

    Re: M2HB Problems HELP PLEASE How much did you polish the chamber? That could be your problem right there. Other than that I would say it sounds like it needs broke down 100% and gone over with a fine tooth comb. I like the M2 but hate that new M2A1 as the guys keep breaking off the lock...

    Re: GUN SAFES!! please help! I would be buying the neighbor a case of his favorite cold beverage. Honestly though all a safe is good for is a deterrent. I just have my safes in a room that isn't obvious to anyone that comes in the house.

    Polished turd of the year

    Re: Polished turd of the year Funny part is that that is not allowed. I had a gun store do that to me when I bid on a ar barrel a few years back and when it and the stock I had tried to get got relisted I called and told them to mail it to me now for my original low bid or I was going to...

    My Take Down I got before the madness

    Re: My Take Down I got before the madness Got one of the first in my area while on R&R and I plan on leaving it as it came. Hell of a great pack rifle and that is as I intend to use it. I did make a much much smaller pack for it though along the lines of the old breakdown shotgun scabbards...

    Wife Orders Husband To Sell...

    Re: Wife Orders Husband To Sell... I find it sad that a man has that little conviction in his life. You can't even laugh about it and teach her why she seems like a nut job to you right now? Seriously though after explaining it to her she will also learn that that was the one chance. Speak...

    Gunsmithing How to Install Flush cups, Pics inside.

    Re: How to Install Flush cups, Pics inside. Another tip is to use whatever your favorite release agent on a q tip to coat the inside of the swivel cup before install just in case some bedding material gets inside. If it squirts into the swivel cup you can then use a dental pick to just pop...

    lwrc worth the money ?

    Re: lwrc worth the money ? I can't wait till I get to handle my 12.5 inch REPR. Ordered it months ago and it is sitting at the gunshop awaiting me to return from overseas and do paperwork on her. Great thing is my shop hosts the local carbine matches so I can shoot her in the matches while...

    M40A5 Deployment

    Re: M40A5 Deployment Do like our CO did and refuse to sign for the rifles without full kit. You don't have to accept the rifles without ancillary gear. They can yell bitch and moan all they want we didn't take the rifles out of the armory for training or maintenance of any kind till they...
