    How to Clean A Suppressor

    I have a Griffin Armaments Bushwacker 46 suppressor. The body & baffles are made out of 17-4. They say that it is OK to throw the baffles in a ultrasonic cleaner but do not recommend doing that to the tube body even if a mild cleaner (simple green or dawn) is used. They say that it will...

    POF Revolution Piston AR10

    No it is not. He has not bought it yet and asked me for an opinion. My initial responce to him was for that kind of money go w/ something tried & true like Larue, GA Precision, etc.

    POF Revolution Piston AR10

    My brother is considering the purchase of a POF Revolution piston AR10. How does this compare to other high end AR10? Cannot get over how light this rifle is. What are pros & cons of piston vs. DI for a gun like this?

    Shooting 308 off a Bench

    So if you are not pulling back w/ the shooting hand and not loading the bipod, isn't that 'free recoiling'?

    Difference in shooting a Semi-Auto vs. Bolt Gun

    What is the proper way to shoot a semi-auto 308? From what I understand, The bipod should be slightly loaded and the grip pulled firmly back to shoulder. Is this correct? On a light recoiling heavy rifle (11 lb. AR 15) is the above true as well?

    Shooting 308 off a Bench

    When shooting a 308 off a hard bench (concrete) am I better off shooting off of a bipod or sandbags. With sandbags it seams as if you have to shoot 'free recoil' which I would think on a 308 will result in larger groups. I generally shoot w/ a bipod loading the bipod a little and firmly pull...

    Colt 6920

    Why are there so many on gunbroker all of a sudden? I know that there is nothing that special about them but it is the 'original' AR carbine.

    H870 & 300 WinMag

    I have 5 lbs. of H870 and have been working up some loads for my 300WM & I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. I loaded up 10 rounds each of a Hornady 212 ELD-X with 82.0 gr., 83.0 gr. & 84.0 gr. Seated bullet to a 2.918" base to ogive length (3.629" COAL). This left me w/ a 0.008"bullet...

    Razor Gen II 4.5-27 Problems

    It was a cold, damp day (40F & raining). Just surprised that this could happen after only a couple of shots.

    Razor Gen II 4.5-27 Problems

    No I do not and am honestly wondering if this is what is happening. The reason I have doubt is because arter 10 shots the suppressor & barrel were very cool. I could easily tightly grip the suppressor w/ my bare hand and am guessing that it was not even at 100F. I will try shooting w/o the...

    Razor Gen II 4.5-27 Problems

    I mounted up my Vortex Razor Gen II 4.5-27 on my R700 300 WinMag. After 3 or 4 shots the scope gets fuzzy, especially the bottom half of what is seen in the scope. It gets sharp again after a minute or two. Not shooting craze fast, around a shot per minute. The rifle is suppressed, but even...

    Sig 716 DMR gen1 vs. SCAR 20S

    Not looking to buy - just curious. Not looking to sell either just want to hold on because I like having it even if it is not my 'go to' gun.

    Sig 716 DMR gen1 vs. SCAR 20S

    I have a SIg 716 DMR Gen1. Curious what the general consensus on this rifle is & how it compares to others such as a SCAR 20S. I have had this gun since new & Sig sent a target with it showing a 0.65" 5 round group. I never got it to shoot close to that - I am normally between 1" to 1.5"...

    Typical Muzzle pressures

    I know that muzzle pressure will vary based on cartridge, barrel length, projectile weight, powder and more. Wondering if someone has some ballpark numbers for: 50 cal, 29" barrel 300WM 26 barrel 308 20 barrel 308 16 barrel 5.56 16 barrel

    Component Availability?

    What is the current cost & availability of components. Have seen primers on the internet for $60 but have not tried ordering. Are they really there? Bullets seem generally available & have not looked into powder. I know that no one has a crystal ball, but, do you think that a year from now...

    Set Headspace too far back on 5.56

    Was not careful & set headspace back to 1.445" on my 5.56. Normally set to 1.455" which is about 0.003" looser than the chamber in my AR. I suppose the only consequence will be reduced brass life for these. will accuracy suffer? I use my AR for PRS, so accuracy is a concern. EDIT: was not...

    Procedure to Tune load at 600 yds.

    I have not done any grouping drills at 600 and have not really done enough to tune my load. When grouping I would analyze the vertical dispersion and correlate against velocity. I will look for flat spots in velocity & vertical dispersion as the charge is varied. No doubt, in my case at 600...

    Procedure to Tune load at 600 yds.

    I have an AR15 that I use for PRS and want to tune my load at 600 yards. The load that I have been using for quite some time is a Hornady 75 gr. BTHP with 23.5 grain of XBR 8208 under it. I am not seeing any pressure signs but think that 23.5 is close to a maximum load. The base to ogive...
