    The Price of .22 Ammo Just Blew Me Away

    Cabelas just opened up here. They had a shelf of blazer bricks with a sign that said 1 brick per A guy stood in the line for an hour with six bricks. And cried when they wouldn't sell him the six. He then grabbed random people to buy them for him. They shut that down too

    300 BLK SBR Upper recommendation

    AAC uppers are nice. Noveske are nice also. But expensive. I have a 16" AAC. It shoots great if it's an older colt. I would leave it alone. Especially with the big holes and all.

    yeah, after emailing him a couple of times, he told me to pm him and just never replied to the pm or emails any more, so dont know what to do about that. oh, there was a lead sled, and a long string involved

    Too flute or not to flute?!?!?

    My 700 is going to the smith tomorrow to get rebarreled from a 308 mtu contour 20" with muzzle brake to a 6.5 creedmoor mtu contour 26". Don't think I'm going to bother with getting it threaded. But I'm trying to decide if I should get it fluted or not. N it's a beast of a barrel. Any thoughts

    Shot my Rooney Rifle, and I survived!!!!!

    Well after plenty of harassment about my rifle(from you guys). Finally had my rifle checked. And went out and shot it. I only had some 308 silver state armory ammo.(a bit over pressure). But. Just basic shooting off a bipod did between 1/2 and 3/4 Moa. Not even really trying. So being that...
