I had a stretch 16 5.56 barrel years ago that had a nitrided barrel extension. It did the same thing. They replaced the barrel extension and it happened again. I think it was the nitride that did it. I still have the barrel, but it has a chewed up barrel extension. It's too bad too, because that...

I see the same incorrect response on many forums when it comes to suppressors. Do not just get a 30 cal can instead of a dedicated can. Get the suppressor that is meant for the caliber you want to suppress. Do 30 cal cans work well on 5.56? Yes, but they are usually bigger and heavier. The only...

WOA hooked me up. They had a SPR barrel with rifle length gas system and 1/8 twist in stock. It's in the mail now. Hopefully will get it all put together soon and shoot it. Thanks for the replies everyone!

1 and 7 or 1 and 8. Either one is fine as long as the barrel shoots 77 grains bullets well.

I would prefer to stay with a rifle length gas system, so that creates a conundrum with the WOA SPR barrel. The rifle length SPR is out of stock with an expected backorder of 8 to 12 weeks. I will be using an adjustable gas block with a lightweight carrier, so maybe going with a mid vs a rifle...

I am looking to pick up an 18 inch .223 Wylde barrel soon to build into a good long range AR. I have narrowed it down to the following barrels. Just curious what everyone's experience is with these barrels. My goal is to make a very decent shooter that will easily shoot 1 MOA or less with 77 OTM...

Well, I think it's super neat. I like MOA over MIL though. I know, I know, I am wrong and blah blah blah. It must be magic though because I can still hit what I am aiming at with my MOA scopes.

I am trying to decide between a 308 and a 6.5 version. Does anyone know which round would be quieter suppressed, or are they about the same?

I see Cabelas is carrying the Fix. Any idea when they will get any in stock? I have a bunch of Cabelas points on my card and I want to use them on the Fix.

Thanks for the responses. That makes a lot of sense about the Seekins being a gun to mess around and modify and the Fix to be just to shoot. What about the 16 inch barrel on a 308? Is that too short or can you still shoot our there a ways with the 16 inch barrel?

Will the Havak fit into a MPA chassis?

I am looking at getting my first long range rifle. I have been shooting 3 gun for a while now and I am looking at broadening my shooting horizons. I am not really thinking of doing PRS competitions (3 gun is just too addicting), but I would like something to reach out there with. I have...
