    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    It's got a brake I need to get off first. It's been sitting the safe for a long time. It's been a while but I tried a few of the usual ways and had no luck. I'll probably resort to a vice if I ever get around to it.

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    I need to figure out the threads on my 500 Encore. I really want to try some subs through it.

    Lightening up a howa mini

    A plain synthetic stock is almost always the lighter option on hunting guns. Your barrel is definitely the biggest hurdle. You could mess around with a bunch of stuff or just order a new barreled action and put it in a plain synthetic stock and move on with your life. Brownells has a new...

    No more 24" Howa 6.5 Creedmoor Barreled actions from Brownells

    Obviously I can't speak for them but there have been other models that disappeared and reappeared. Howa/Legacy seems like it's always a bit random with what's coming in and available. If you want something now obviously you have to go another way but it wouldn't surprise me if they were to show...

    New Barrett MRAD ELR?

    In the limited experience I have working around the gun industry there were plenty of times that actual factory guns were used by factory teams and shooters. It doesn't seem like there's a good reason to lie about it when you are talking about a tiny subset (ELR) of a smaller market (PRS)...

    New Barrett MRAD ELR?

    Desert Tech have any mil contracts? Bullpups really struggle with acceptance. As for Barret have any personnel been relocated?

    New Barrett MRAD ELR?

    When someone says I'm not going to call you a liar it's basically a chickenshit way of calling them a liar.

    Subsonic shooting, noise vs barrel length

    It's something you'd have to figure out for each load there isn't a rule. Too many variables.

    CDI FN action modification for AICS

    I remember it being a very minor operation which I think Jeff did for free on mine. I wish I remembered the details.

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    You say rechamber but do you mean rebarrel? I ask because you first mention 270 and then talk about 7mm projectiles.

    8.6 Blackout accuracy and barrel twist

    My point was that nobody makes them. That website throws flags and has been dormant for a long time. Almost no components available so you have to make brass. I looked into 45 Raptor a while back but like to stick to mainstream stuff for the most part.

    8.6 Blackout accuracy and barrel twist

    How many guns and ammo variants are available for that? Could have just done a 375 Whisper

    8.6 Blackout accuracy and barrel twist

    It still cracks me up when people talk about the 300 Blackout like it was a bad idea or failure. It's a lot like the people that call the Creedmoor manbun or similar. Really just shows ignorance about what is involved in rolling out a successful cartridge. 300 Whisper could have been the pick...

    8.6 Blackout accuracy and barrel twist

    Energy doesn't really answer everything either. For the bullets that really open up big it's not hard for me to believe that the extra rotational speed could do quite a bit of damage. Like a little blender.

    AR-30 Stock adapter

    I almost bought an AR31 a couple times but never did. The combo of the stock and 308 only was too much. Gun always seemed decent but needed to be modernized a bit.

    Zeroing with a 44.4 moa scope base

    If you have to shoot up close you could make your own target with offset aiming points for whatever you need. Confirming as far out as possible seems best if you are trying to shoot really far away.

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    So no. That's pretty cool I was just confused because we were talking about AR10's.

    8.6 Blackout accuracy and barrel twist

    This is an older Smarter Every Day video where he captures a bunch of high speed footage looking for shockwaves. One of the subsonic shots clearly shows the bullet nose up plowing through the air. Pretty cool stuff. He's done a bunch of gun vids. Same guy

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    Have you seen an AR10 510 Whisper? Mag bolt face long action bolt guns are all I've seen.
