    Bergara B14R Issues & Solutions

    Thanks! I haven’t had any feed or ejection problems yet, but I don’t have many rounds through it yet. I am looking forward to what your thoughts are on the hard bolt closing. That issue bugs me because it closes so hard I can’t keep my sights on target; the whole rifle twists in the rest I’m...

    Any chance we could get a sticky thread on the Bergara B-14R?

    I was able to get a B14r steel barrel rifle a couple weeks ago and finally able to shoot it yesterday. This will be a gopher getter and all-around fun range gun. I put an Athlon Midas HMR 2.5-15 x 50 scope on it, which I thought would be perfect for my purposes. It is second focal plane, so the...

    Need some advice on gas tuning

    Thanks. There hasn't been any intermingling of bolts and barrels. This bolt has only been used with the 308 barrel. When I had the 6.5 barrel on, I used a different bolt. Good to know about the gas block mating surfaces sealing up. I plan to try a stiffer spring and/or heavier buffer weights...

    Need some advice on gas tuning

    That's my plan, though I won't get to the range for a couple weeks. I'll report back.

    Need some advice on gas tuning

    I built the whole thing from parts, it didn’t really “come with” anything. It has the “standard” JP SCS for 308. I’d think if that’s too light, turning down the gas should help. But one click less gas and the bolt won’t lock back after the last round.

    Need some advice on gas tuning

    I’ve wondered about this. I guess, if it works I shouldn’t mess with it.

    Need some advice on gas tuning

    While I just put this back together again, the bolt/carrier/barrel/receiver have been together before, with a few hundred rounds through the assembly. It has always operated this way; it’s accuracy wasn’t what I was hoping for so I converted it to 6.5 CM. Accuracy problem was likely me. Anyway...

    It’s an SLR adjustable gas block.

    Need some advice on gas tuning

    Thanks for the reply. I’m running it pretty wet. I just checked gas block and gas tube alignment and it looks good. Magpul 10 round mags. As far as break in, I’ve had this bolt/barrel/receiver together before with the same issue (if it even is an issue). It should be fairly well broken in...

    Need some advice on gas tuning

    I just put together a 20” .308 with rifle length gas. I have an adjustable gas block and a JP SCS. I took it out the other day for functional testing and sight in. I started with single rounds from a magazine with the gas barely open. I kept opening gas one click at a time until the bolt...

    Wood Pellet grills

    I’ve got a butt on my Grilla Grill right now; basically a nicer Z-Grill. I’ve had it about a year and a half and really like it. A buddy has a Req Teq and I think I like that better. I second the advice on having a good instant read thermometer as well as multiple probes to leave in while you...

    Best COTS Ammo for 6.5 Creedmoore JP Semi-Auto 22" barrel

    When I bought my LRP-07 in 6.5CM someone at JP told me the Hornady 140g ELD-M would shoot really well, and they were right. I've had very good luck with that ammo.

    Jp enterprises pic thread

    Here's the one I just got. So far it's as good as I hoped it would be. The last two 5-shot groups I shot were between. 4 and .5 inches.

    JP LRP-07 Wait times?

    Brass is in good shape though as a turned back the gas the mouths got dinged up, but nothing that would keep you from reloading. I was lucky enough to get out yesterday and shoot out to 960 yes. Even in a stiff wind (holding 2 mil right) I kept shots in about a 12"-16" circle. It's weird to be...

    JP LRP-07 Wait times?

    Recoil is minimal. I didn't even touch the gas block and it ran great. Ejection is really strong, so I could probably turn down the gas a bit and it will still run with even less recoil. I was shooting from a bag and I couldn't quite see my shots hit (at 100) but it doesn't move much at all...

    JP LRP-07 Wait times?

    It appears it was worth the wait, too. I was able to get it out for sighting in this morning. At first I was a bit underwhelmed, but it came around quickly. Probably me getting used to the single stage trigger. Anyway, following the JP break in procedure, my last two 5-shot groups were right...
