    Suppressors Coated TBAC brake

    My question is, if they coated it with the brake on, did they plug the bore before blasting and spraying?

    Suppressors 75% Off AAC Entire Store

    In all fairness, I didn’t buy the SR7, I picked it up on a prize table. I won a second one the following year that I never received, but that wasn’t AAC’s fault, it was because of the turd of a match director. I have been pleased with it though, I don’t have any reason to fault the 90t taper...

    Night Vision Another F.N.G. polling the professionals

    To give you an idea, this is the OTAL at 200 yards on the barn. It’s very easily visible in person, but beyond that range it can be hard to tell if it’s on an animal or the bush beside the animal. I don’t think a higher power laser would help. I have a ballistic helmet, a bump helmet, and a...

    Night Vision Another F.N.G. polling the professionals

    For just a laser, I’ve been happy with this. https://tnvc.com/shop/ldi-otal-class-1-ir-laser/ For kicking in doors you’ll want to have your illumination and laser on the same switch, but for most of us a stand-alone laser is fine. The class 1 laser is plenty bright enough.

    Gunsmithing Cutting weight on a rifle

    The barrel is the problem. You can save the most weight by having it turned down to a Medium Palma or Rem Varmint profile, you will save a lot more weight than having it fluted. Before I started doing gun work, I sent an MTU barrel back to Bartlein to have it turned down, the cost was pretty...

    Suppressors Hybrid min barrel for 300BLK?

    I have a 6.25 KAK Baby Blond barrel, it has been flawless. I typically use a Suppressed Armament can on it, although I’ve used it with other cans and without for a couple rounds.

    I don’t know what your background is and why you have that opinion, but I’ll share mine. I own both 51t and 90t cans, The 90t isn’t just the same old mount with more teeth, it’s a significantly better design. I’m not saying it’s better than any other brand, just pointing out that lumping it into...

    Something a 'lil different...

    I have several of those turds still. I should rebarrel one for my Vietnam vet uncle, he would get a kick out of that. I may have to think about that...

    Gunsmithing building a 20 inch 22-250

    I built a 22" .223AI, it's a nice setup. Very capable and exceptionally accurate. This should be even better.

    Gunsmithing 6.5 Creedmoor headspace question

    I only used go gauges and tape until I started doing barrels for other people; I use both gauges now.

    Button rifle quality: also Green Mountain Barrels

    I'm more worried about the other aspects of barrel making than how it was rifled, although most that I install are cut rifled. I recently built another AR10 in .308 from a Broughton button rifles blank, and it shoots as well as any cut barrel. I do have a Green Mountain on my personal 6.5...

    243 ackley vs 6.5 creed for comp gun?

    I had 2 SLR's, one is still an SLR and the other is now a 6.5 Creedmoor. The SLR is a great round and fed perfectly in both the bolt gun and the gas gun, but with the speed limits and available Creedmoor ammo and brass there's no real reason to go wildcat.

    Gunsmithing where would you go from here?

    No, they don't. I've seen people true actions by only facing the action and lapping the lugs together. Whoever does it, make sure you know what they consider 'truing'.

    Gunsmithing Tuning gas on an AR10

    I do it basically the same way as Chad, although I do it without suppressor installed. I just did one yesterday, I started about .006 under where I expected to end up and increased by .002 until it locked back on an empty mag. As far as bolt carrier/buffer weight balance, I use judgement with...

    Blowing primers on 6.5 cm JP build question

    Not at all. It's not the amount of pressure in the barrel causing the problem; it's the pressure operating the action. The higher pressure makes the rifle start unlocking the bolt before the pressure in the barrel drops. Turn the gas down until the rifle doesn't lock back on the last round...

    Looking for 223 Trainer build advise

    My main rifle has a Badger action and Sentinel stock. My trainer is a .223AI with a truer Remington action and a Manners T5. I haven't spent as much time on it as I should, I bought 4 AI mags that have been absolute junk, and got annoyed and haven't gotten better mags. The rifles handle...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns KKM or Alpha Wolf Glock Barrel.

    I went with KKM personally, although mine is a little different. I wanted a 9mm conversion barrel for a G35, so that ended up getting a KKM conversion barrel for the longer G20 and threading it. It has been very accurate and reliable after swapping in a 9mm recoil spring.

    Suppressors Looking at getting a SRT can.....

    My shooting partner has one, I think the 9". It's a good can.
