    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I wonder if these guys would do a run of brass? http://www.qual-cart.com/faq.htm They have a great reputation with the big-bore guys that shoot obscure calibers. Couldn't you base 6.5 4S brass off of the .404 Jeffrey? I seem to remember that's the "basic" brass for the WSM...

    Gunsmithing Montana Rifle Co for a LR build?

    Thanks for the comments, I might have to try them out with a stainless action sometime if I can get the scratch together to start another build!

    Gunsmithing Montana Rifle Co for a LR build?

    I'm a big fan of M70 style CRF actions, and my Winchesters and SPRs have been serving me well. Does anyone have experience with MRCs 1999 action? I know they are well regarded for hunting rifles and big bore guns, but I'm wondering if they would make a good base for a LR build, sort of in the...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    This may have to be my next move once my FN PBR 300 WSM finally gives up the ghost... Hopefully true head stamped factory brass will be out by then! I'd love to see what the 127 LRX would do in the 6.5 4S, it's a hammer in my Creedmore, and groups like a laser as well.

    Rifle Scopes Eurooptic Alloy Unimount

    Looks like a good option for 34mm. I wonder whose they are, they look rebranded to me. (Not that that's a bad thing!)

    Lapua once fired... Now what?

    This +1. Also never needed to crimp. If you're using quality dies and getting proper neck tension a crimp shouldn't be necessary IMO. Thousands of rounds in ARs (5.56 and 300BLK), M1As, and Garands. YMMV

    Suppressors Can the Griffin taper mounts be perm'd?

    Fascinating stuff, and great insight into can design! Thank you I have a lot to think about!

    Suppressors Can the Griffin taper mounts be perm'd?

    And same question for the PHS? I like that it rates higher db than the Recce but still uses the taper mounts... But it needs to be good to go on an SBR too

    Suppressors Can the Griffin taper mounts be perm'd?

    Evan, thanks for all the info. Would the Recce be acceptable for use on a 10.5" SBR (no mag dumps, etc. I don't abuse any of my cans!)

    Suppressors Can the Griffin taper mounts be perm'd?

    Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. So would you say the taper mount cans are just another option out there for consumers? Like I said, I love my M4SD comps, and have several that are already prem'd on 14.5 barrels so I'd be thrilled to stick with that system. But at the same time, I got...

    Suppressors Can the Griffin taper mounts be perm'd?

    Thanks for the info, I figured they would work. For a multi-use can (SPR, carbines, limited 10.5 SBR, no full-auto), would you recommend the M4SD series, the PHS, or the Recce? It seems like the Recce is a taper-mount version of the M4-series? I want a "do-it-all" can for my ARs, but I'm...

    Suppressors New 7" and 5" cans from Thunder Beast Arms

    I've got two registered SBRs but almost all of my "standard" uppers are perm'd 14.5s! Bummer!

    Suppressors Can the Griffin taper mounts be perm'd?

    I have several M4SD flash comps on my uppers. (LOVE them, btw) I've been thinking on the M4SDII or SDK for my next can, but I'd like to use it on my SPR as well and I'm concerned that it may not be ideal for that. I really like the Recce 5, and the idea of the taper mount, but I have several...

    Suppressors New 7" and 5" cans from Thunder Beast Arms

    Zak, can your BA muzzle devices be permanently attached to make a 16" AR barrel? Or would they even be long enough... Thinking hard on a 30BAS as my multi-host AR can, but I have several non SBR uppers with 14.5 barrels. Thanks, and btw everyone wants a TBAC can after seeing/hearing my 30P-1!

    eat this sporter contour and short barrel nay sayers !!!!

    What's your load to get the 180AB to 2825 FPS in a 20" WSM? I'm working on a similar project, thanks!

    Magnetospeed Bayo (V1) - Material loss from Muzzle blast

    Just noticed the same thing on my V2 yesterday, although not as bad as yours. Not too keen on it!

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Man what a round! If brass availability can be resolved, I think I may have found my next build for an FN SPR WSM action I've got sitting around... What about reamer details? GAP propietary?

    Rifle Scopes consolidating glass on multiple rifles?

    You make some good points. I have been thinking about getting an XLR for my 300WSM, so you could make a valid point that not all my stuff is "the same" anyway. I suppose reticles being the same would be my biggest concern, and having mil/mil...

    Rifle Scopes consolidating glass on multiple rifles?

    Damn Lazy, you're right! I missed out on the deal on #2 though, that's the exact scope I want for my AR :( I'll have to keep you in mind
