Need to remove the brake from my RPR to install a different design. I see in the manual the brake has a "lock nut" - makes sense, makes it easy to clock mass produced brakes. Does anyone know if Ruger uses any threadlocker, and is there any better...

Appreciate the input; sounds like it’s headspace. It bugged me a bit when I checked it; no allowance for oversized cases or even the bolt crushing the case enough on the forward stroke to allow inconsistent lockup and internal ballistics and weapon harmonics. Back to the drawing board; Nothing...

Barrel is 1:8; Black Hills 77 gr match, my usual combination, has always been a winner for me up to now. Headspace closes like this on Go Gauge. Put a piece of scotch tape on the head of the gauge .002” and bolt does not lock. I didn’t think bolt lugs were supposed to contact the barrel in...

Third. EWL/Slip 2000. Had a Ceiner .22 1911 conversion that would not funtion; FTF after 2 shots. After EWL, now runs like a champ.

Red Brakleen to degrease a clean blasted surface, Green Brakleen to degrease a blasted surface that had been previously coated. Handed down from an old gunsmith; that green stuff will strip paint.

99.99% sure I know the answer, can’t figure out why I can’t find more about it. Built an AR, new Vlotr upper, stainlaess match grade barrel 1:8 twist, 16”. Worst accuracy I’ve seen, 6” irregular group @100 yards. Started checking, headspace, lugs, barrel nut, all good, Then I notice shiny...

Easy enough, if you have one you want to get rid of for cash or trade, pm me, thanks.

Anything hanging off the end of a barrel has potential to cause a POI shift as the harmonics of the barrel are altered , and the repeatability in mounting any muzzle device is very critical.. As a reference, my , .270 Sendero has a brake, no suppressor, and shoots 1/4 moa. One day, it would not...

Galatians 6:2 It seems I come across as weak, unable to muster the grit I need to get through this. Possibly. Don't have granddaughters, children. If I had that, chances are good I"d likely not be reaching out her..just a sorry sad sack crying all over the floor. This is not criticism of any...

If I manage to come out of the other side of this, and right now that's a big "if", doing something to provide support for others in this situation is going to be at the top of my list. I know there are a military, leos, civilians here who have been through worse than this, and I was hoping to...

Minnesota, I'm trying to find a bereavement group that reaches this level. Everybody hurts over something, but around here I"m having a hard time finding a group that doesn't exist merely because Trump won or a statue scares them. Veer: Yes, the mountains are in my heart. I just need to have...

Guys, once again, I'm asking for help. Advice. Anything. I'm really struggling and having a difficult time finding enough help. 2017 has been epic: lost my ability to return to practice, lost my wife, and with that, lost my direction and momentum and can't seem to find either one. Some of...

Honestly, I got to about 90 seconds before I had to shut this off. No words. And it's not because it offends me (certainly not how I want to roll) but because I just can't believe there are those who are this sick, afflicted with both physical and mental disorders that urge them to spread both...

The Omega would be a great choice for you. It's rated up to 300 Win; it is impressive on my RPR/6.5 CM. I run a QD setup with a brake, and get a repeatable and predictable POI shift every time (not that I shot it much without the Omega). What little recoil there is becomes a gentle, slow push...

Need to do something; getting up at dawn and doing Tai Chi to Mick Jagger screaming “Gimme Shelter” into my headset is starting to feel normal.
