    PTR-91 build questions

    I wouldn't mount UTG on a rifle if it was free.

    PTR-91 build questions

    Your biggest obstacle will be the trigger. It is a sliding sear design and it is weighted heavy for safety reasons. You can clean it up but you can't lighten it much and be safe. As to the mount you can weld a rail but I recommend the B&T mount. It will help stiffen the receiver. It is...

    How Important is it to Match a Bolt with a Barrel?

    I was in your position not long ago. There are a lot of guys here that are so knowledgeable about ARs they forget what it was like to be unfamiliar with it. You can go about this in a couple ways. I bought a Colt 6920 to familiarize myself with the platform and like many guys here suggested...

    How hard is it really to be accurate at 300-400 yards with an ar 15

    Whenever I read anything by Sterling in my head its a Yoda voice....the force is strong between the peep sight and E target with this one.

    B West AKS47 Bakelite

    There is an early Chinese BWest at a local gun shop. They have it priced at $700 and it has been there for a while.

    B West AKS47 Bakelite

    The BWest rifles don't have the same value as other import guns. Some of the early BWest guns were Chinese but at some point they started assembling them on improperly heat treated receivers. Inspect the axis pins for any deformation. The quality control has left these guns undervalued compared...

    SLR under Geissele SMR?

    I think it will fit. I'm up in the air between shaving my pinned block and swapping out for an adjustable. It's a carbine length gas system so I think an adjustable block would soften things up a bit. I'm an AR newbie so I'm really still experimenting and taking advice from anybody that will...

    SLR under Geissele SMR?

    I found the dimensions for both but I'm not sure if the Geissele dimension of 1.35 is just the tube or if that takes into consideration the recessed areas inside the rails. I'm going to scale it out on paper but had hoped someone here had that setup already.

    Sig 716 Accuracy

    That's good to know. I like SIG products and have eyeballed a few 716s. The 556R I had was unbelievably accurate. It honestly changed my expectations of 7.62x39.

    Sig 716 Accuracy

    With the SIG 556R you could determine with the serial number which rifles were gen 2. That's one thing I don't like about SIG. Gen 1 buyers should not be beta testers.

    Best Precision AR10 (In your opinion(s))?

    If your looking at a gas gun and a bolt I'm going to assume you haven't had a lot of experience with them. If I'm off base disregard this comment. If you haven't shot a full flavored semi it is very challenging. Learning fundamentals on a bolt first would eliminate some frustration. I can shoot...

    Got the AK itch, looking for some advice.

    The under folder conversion is not hard. Any competent AK armorer can do it.

    Got the AK itch, looking for some advice.

    Being a pistol they are not subject to the same 922 compliance. They are 100% Yugo built. I think they are a great route to an SBR AK. They are really the only Century import I would have because Century doesn't chew them up cutting mag wells and adding compliance parts. They import them as...

    Got the AK itch, looking for some advice.

    Bulgarian Circle 10 mags are the absolute best polymer mag available. East German metal mags are my favorite metal mag. They are hard to find but are really well made. After that any combloc surplus mag. Avoid the new production metal mags they are just a cheap copy of surplus mags.

    Got the AK itch, looking for some advice.

    I had one early WASR that shot really well and was nicely built. With that being the exception the Century guns are junk. Arsenal is the way to go. comparing an Arsenal to a Century is apples to oranges. I like the Izhmash guns but some people consider the Bulgarian Arsenals to be a touch...

    Got the AK itch, looking for some advice.

    I forgot...two biggest things you can do to get a touch more accuracy out of an AK. Throw away the cleaning rod. It whip against the barrel when firing. Replace the muzzle device with a Smith Vortex flash hider. By design it eliminates the detent traditionally used on AKs and will torque down tight.

    Got the AK itch, looking for some advice.

    There really is no benefit to a milled receiver and in my opinion makes an already heavy weapon heavier. Some people argue that the milled receiver is more rigid and hypothetically more accurate. If your wanting an accurate semi the AK is not it. That is not to say the AK is not a fine rifle...

    What's your favorite adjustable gas block?

    ORD I do appreciate you taking the time to answer questions that you have probably answered before. I'm thinking the SRI is the best choice.
