    So I'm seeing more and more short 308s in my neck of the woods seems odd

    And they are the ultimate in cool factor. For me a .30 cal just has this mystique about it. Its a pretty hard hitting round that seems to have an inherent accuracy. Every .308 I've owned has shot to some degree of very well.

    CZ 457 MTR ammo?

    Oh, I should have mentioned that Ive had good luck with federal auto Match. Its a far cry from Match ammo, but it produces very good groups often enough to keep you interested. At 100 yards, I can hit a golf ball 7 or so times out of 10.

    CZ 457 MTR ammo?

    You can't just try a box of each and then declare that each ammo performs a certain way. The performance of rimfire ammo varies as much from lot to lot within the same ammo line as it does from one type of ammo to another. You need to determine how much you want to spend on ammo. Then get a few...

    So I'm seeing more and more short 308s in my neck of the woods seems odd

    It depends on the use case. If you think about it, a 20" barrel length is the "best" barrel length for a 5.56, but barrel lengths between 11.5 and 16" are more popular because they are handy and usually get the job done. Same thing goes for .308. Heck, if I needed more than my 11.5, I'd gladly...

    New build for Night Vision

    Yeah, man. Those Velos are nice. I view suppressors as disposable and have stuck to traditional baffle stack cans because they're cheap and they typically work well.

    New build for Night Vision

    I can't comment about switches and stuff. Whatever NV gear I've used was borrowed and have only really shot passively. It looks like its coming together. Which suppressor are you going with?

    New build for Night Vision

    Man, you have me talking about all sorts of stuff than I'm not wild about. I get what you're saying about the magnifier behind the dot, but still ... having a magnifier comes in handy sometimes. Not when you're using NV, but when you aren't, even a low percentage 200 yard shots gets a lot easier...

    Front support: sand bags vs. rifle rests

    It depends on what you're calling a front rest. If you're using a rest intended for something like precision shooting, then I'd say that's the most stable. If you're talking about the type of rest that you'd buy at a sporting goods store, then you'd be better off with bags.

    New build for Night Vision

    If you already have a 1.93 mount, cool. If not, what I usually do is just throw a cowitness mount onto a 1/2 rise. Ive found it the easiest way to get my dot and magnifier to line up without spending a bunch of money.

    AR Tuning question

    Whoa there. Are you proposing that he drill the gas port out by 15 or 20 thou?! No, no, no. Even if that is the problem, we are at the fine tuning stage. .003 at the most. If you put another zero in there after the decimal, it makes more sense.

    Diagnosing Case Separation and Bolt Lug Wear on 6 ARC Rifle

    If you tried to eject a live round and the projectile stayed in the chamber, I seriously doubt that gassing is an issue, or at least, a part of this particular problem. When you knocked the projectile out of the barrel, could you see engraving from the rifling on the bullet? I know this sounds...

    M14 barrel fouling in start of rifling

    You shouldn't short stroke when cleaning a barrel, unless you're using a worn out brush, although I suppose using a nylon brush would be OK too. In any case, how does it shoot? If it shoots well, I wouldn't worry about it. I had a borescope at one time. Scoped my Criterions and saw all sorts of...

    Need some advice, occasional failure to extract JP AR10

    Yep. Don't get off on any tangents. Not yet anyway. Besides, if it was an excessive pressure problem, you'd be seeing something like the aforementioned torn case rims. Stuck casings at least. Despite the low round count, always go with what's simple first.

    Headspace Question

    Are you sure its a no go gauge that you have. The gauge that Lilja sells is a .043 go gauge. Yep, SK rims are a couple/few thou thinner. If you used the .003 shim, try the .004 shim. This should get you where you want to be for the SK. It sounds like you got close when setting the headspace...

    Need some advice, occasional failure to extract JP AR10

    Well, when an extractor stops extracting, I'd typically inspect the extractor for damage or excessive wear and change the spring and if applicable, the insert and oring. Did you check the tension on the extractor?
