    Lightweight 2A Arms Xanthos 6.5 CM Build

    Most of my posts on Ultra lite AR308s are over on the 6.8 forums and the ultra lite thread at ARFCOM. Using a Faxon 16inch pencil 308 barrel @ 28.3 ounces and an Xanthos upper receiver, JP VMOS aluminum carrier and JP bolt, and my own 11 inch custom CF hand guard @ 2.8 ounces with aluminum...

    6.5 Creedmoor in AR

    I have been building sub 6 pound AR308s since 2015. My latest came in at 3.9 pounds complete without scope. Currently building a 6.5 Creedmoor upper using a Xanthos receiver. Hoping to be around 5.5 pounds, my Xanthos lower complete is 15 ounces. First of all NEVER build an AR308 without an...

    Clark Co. NV

    BLM destroyed over 1000 desert turtles a few years ago because they didn't have enough money/land to put them somewhere. They are NOT clean and not looking out for anybody but old Dingy Harry. He didn't become a millionair by his smarts.

    DIY Carbon Fiber AR10 Carbon Fiber Free Float Tube

    All my AR15s have carbon fiber hand guards, mostly Clark Custom. My new AR10 308 from DPMS came with a carbon fiber guard, obviously from Clark Custom. DPMS secures it with two rivits. Putting together another AR10 upper DPMS pattern. Besides not needing all the tactical stuff they stick...

    Rifle Scopes Scope recommendation

    Thanks guys, I went to a lot of gun stores, although none have 25 power scopes in stock. But the Vortex was nice. So I ordered that demo unit 6-24x50 V-plex Viper HS . Should be here just in time for my new upper to be finished. Just got in the Clark Customs aluminum barrel nut for 308 DPMS...

    Rifle Scopes Scope recommendation

    Sold one of my AR15 uppers so I am closer to a better scope. Plus if I sell one or two more I won't have to buy another gun safe! Had a horrible day at the range, first time in two years that I did not have a single bullseye.. My DPMS AR10 just does not like 155 GR bullets. It still gave me a...

    Rifle Scopes Scope recommendation

    Optics selection I am old (65) and need higher powers to shoot. Mainly target shooting at 100/200 yards but looking forwards to 500 and beyond. Currently have one AR15 in 223 Wylde that shoots 0.5 or less MOA ay 200 yards. One AR15 and two Savage bolt rifles in 6.8 SPC that also shoot...

    Make your own HEAVY BUFFER

    Not sure you can get enough lead into a AR15 or worse an AR10 carbine buffer to help much. I bought one of those Amazon/eBay 5 oz buffers, the discs are jammed in so tight I can't get them out. I bought 6 ounces of tungsten to try several different configurations. The AR15 rifle buffer can be...

    Make your own HEAVY BUFFER

    I am probably older than you, I remember the Berlin wall GOING UP> Another question, why would anyone use TULA ammo in anything other than an AK or SKS? My Lilja barreled 223 wylde will shoot MOA with the cheap armscore, and MUCH better with my favorite 52 GR Black Hills match. Some writer...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Visit Tubbs web site, price wasn't bad considering it contained enough parts for nearly three A1 stocks. I cut the HEAVY 0.750 inch steel insert in half, still need to drill a hole in end of the left over half, then I will have 2 butt plates for same price as one. Tubbs is a fair to middling...

    Make your own HEAVY BUFFER

    "emulating the stupidity that is the Spikes ST-T2" shows you don't know much. I love my T2 buffers in my over gassed AR15's I also know at least a dozen people who also like the Spikes ST-T2. How much percentage wise do you think the AR15's sold to the public are over gassed? By what I see...

    Make your own HEAVY BUFFER

    I am on another build trip. I have several Spikes Tactical T2 buffers that use tungsten powder instead of steel and tungsten discs. Not sue if they are the cause, but I NEVER heard the AR twang until I used a lower without the T2 buffer. Getting an AR10, going to make a heavy rifle buffer...

    Gunsmithing Mother load muzzel brake testing

    As an old man eligible for medicare and with a painful right shoulder, I have spent a lot of time researching muzzle brakes. As an engineer there are basic principles that govern muzzle brake performance. First off if it isn't loud it isn't working as well as a loud one. Second a brake that...
