    Silencer Central, if true Phuck them!

    The $200.00 tax is just an old punishment tax. Needs to go away. I'm all for lower suppressor prices. I'd pay $350.00 for a can that currently costs $1200.00 just because it's "regulated". They are made out of common, readily available materials... Not exactly made out of 24k gold.

    Sooty case neck

    Probably been asked already but I couldn't find anything. I reload for 308 using imr4064, 4895 and Varget... 155's, 168's and 175's. With various load combinations the case necks are sooty after firing and other loads aren't (same brass). Is this simply a function of pressure where some are...

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    1. Not sure I get the question but it's straight up and down...level. Insert mag and push bolt release. 2. Typically 5 rounds for load development. 3. Tubb flat wire spring and a 9oz. heavy buffer to increase dwell time prior to extraction. Much easier on the case rim.. Barely feel any extractor...

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    I thought the same thing. Didn't shoot several... Only one more 5 shot group, single feed.... It measured 0.176...

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    I have a JP high pressure bolt. It has a rounded ejector.

    Can someone explain this to me...... What the hell are the Indians and Paki's doing when they are strutting around like peacocks kicking their legs in the air????? Is that how they say "fuck off" or something????

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    I'm not speed shooting it... Taking time between shots. For the reply about it being a semi auto, we obviously think differently. If this was a muzzle loader I'd be doing the exact same thing... How accurate can I get the weapon to shoot.... Not just make noise.

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Typical 308 powders... IMR4064, IMR4895 and this group in the photo was Varget....

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    It's glued in, per Craddocks direction.

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Craddock just made the barrel and headspaced the JP bolt to it.

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Already sent the barrel back.... No issues found. Can't see it's anything with the barrel since it shot a 0.147" group single feeding it. I have to conclude that the rifle is accurate, my loads are accurate and I can shoot it accurately.... But something is happening during the BCG cycling that...

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Yep.... Magpul and a $90.00 Larue... No difference.

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    I'll check....but I'd hope that for $760.00 Craddock Precision would have done this.... but I'll check.
