    LMT, Larue OBR or POF which one

    Re: LMT, Larue OBR or POF which one I've gotten in some trigger time on a friend's 16" OBR. The rifle balances well and feels like it was carved out of a single chunk of aluminum. We were recently shooting at 300 yards in the rain and he was printing 2.5" 5-shot groups. I was shooting weather...

    Receiver combo for .308 carbine build

    Re: Receiver combo for .308 carbine build Thanks for all the suggestions. I pinged a couple of high-power shooters, and they came back with a thumbs-up for the Mega, so I'll likely go that route unless I come across a screaming deal on an MWS. Just need to sell a few things first… —Andreas

    Receiver combo for .308 carbine build

    Both the Mega MA-TEN and Iron Ridge Arms IRA-X caught my eye as upper/lower combos for assembling a DPMS-pattern .308 carbine. I'm happy to pay for quality, but the IRA-X is twice the price of the MA-TEN. Can anyone comment on what the IRA-X offers to justify that premium? I could purchase the...

    Recommendation on upper for solid fit to RRA lower

    Re: Recommendation on upper for solid fit to RRA lower Thanks for all the suggestions. The rifle uses a RR upper and lower, albeit ones from nearly ten years ago. The JP pins look pretty slick despite requiring a screwdriver to disassemble the rifle. I'll likely order two or three different...

    Recommendation on upper for solid fit to RRA lower

    I recently rebuilt a cheap RRA carbine with some choice components: Centurion Arms midweight barrel, LaRue handguard, Giselle DMR trigger, Aimpoint ML3, etc. A nagging issue is the play between the upper and lower receiver—the rifle rattles like a cheap toy. The upper receiver moves side to side...

    Gunsmithing Recommendation on AR-15 upper receiver block

    I'm looking for a recommendation on an AR-15 upper receiver block for installing/removing barrels and free-float rails. The two main styles appear to be clamshells and blocks with pins (e.g., the DPMS action block). I'm leaning toward the DPMS action block, the design appears better suited for...

    Re: New look www.libertyoptics.com Looks good. Only complaint is that it's difficult to send someone a link to a particular page or item. —Andreas

    Opinions on Bell & Carlson Medalist stocks

    Re: Opinions on Bell & Carlson Medalist stocks Gentlemen, Thanks for all the helpful feedback. It's good to know that I can order the stock sight unseen without concern that it's a dud. I also didn't know that one could build custom search engines with Google and add them to iGoogle. Very...

    Opinions on Bell & Carlson Medalist stocks

    I've been looking at options for replacing the Tupperware stock on my Browning A-Bolt II Stainless Stalker in .308 and hit on the Bell & Carlson Medalist. This is a sporter rifle that goes hunting on occasion but mostly gets used at the rifle range shooting prone with a sling, seated, and...

    LaRue Stealth Sniper Build

    I recently finished putting together a target AR-15 based off a 16" LaRue Stealth Sniper System upper and detailed the build here. This info will hopefully be of assistance to others contemplating similar projects. —Andreas
