    Why would my groups open up suddenly?

    I was a witness to this event and the head scratching that followed. I had also been toying with not cleaning, but had not gotten so far down the road. I immediately went home and cleaned everything.

    AR Gas Tube Wrench

    Weird that it got stuck. I can't come up with an explanation for that. I'd probably try wood jaws in a bench vise. Distribute the clamping force over a long section of the tube.

    Dasher in an R700?

    I think you're right about it hitting the wind turret. It was years ago, but you jogged my memory. I recall seeing some indications on the bottom of the turret on the NF I had on it. I'll probably just buy another controlled feed action (this new rifle is for my son) and figure out something...

    Dasher in an R700?

    I had a 6 Dasher in a Remington 700 action for a while. It fed fine, but the empty would end up in the ejection port almost every time. I eventually gave up and went with a Bighorn. Now I want another Dasher in a 700 action, the very same action if truth be told. A local shooter said he'd...

    ARC Coup de Grace Builds

    Ted could definitely stand to do a quick video where he slows way down reassembling the bolt. Like so many others, I had to watch 10x to try to figure it out because he does it so fast.

    Re-chamber resource, front range Colorado.

    Fritz is great. Highly recommended.

    Has anyone here quit or "quit" tobacco?

    Quit drinking 2 1/2 months ago. Quit dipping (actually Zyn pouches) yesterday. Next month I unfuck my diet. Month after that it's back to the gym. I'm running out of vices, but I still smoke a cigar every other night. I'd have stayed on the Zyn, but $50 a week was pissing me off.

    Holy crap. I'm apparently way under!

    Weird Accuracy Issues with AR Build

    My Valk had a Bartlein barrel from Craddock. He was deeply involved in trying to figure it out. Never did. He made me a Bartlien for my 6 ARC, and it's the most accurate AR I've ever owned. Love that guy.

    Weird Accuracy Issues with AR Build

    Hmpf. It's odd that the bolt was the problem. If you ever figure out how it was affecting accuracy/POI, let us know. I had a Valk that I chased for a couple years. Never did figure it out. Rebarreled to 6ARC (everything else the same) and it's perfect.

    6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

    I suck at reading brass for pressure signs. I'm running Lever with 108's. I've settled on 24.1g as definitely safe. I'm guessing too safe. Accuracy is superb, but it's slow out of my 22" Bartlein at 2460fps. What charge weights are you guys running with Lever and heavies?

    Rifle Scopes Keep or Ditch- Steiner T5XI

    I have three of the T5's as well as several NF's, Schmidts, Minox, Vortex etc. I've never missed a shot due to the Steiners, but I do enjoy looking through the better glass more. If I were going to upgrade, I take the earlier poster's advice and look for a used NF.

    Former endeavors that used to give joy and are fleeting now...

    I was a hobbiest woodworker for years. Just passionate about it. Went pro in 2001. The business has grown hugely since then, and I'm now sick to death of sawdust. My poor wife has to beg me to build something now. Fly fishing was a passion about that same time. There was one year that I...

    Help me Configure a JP SCI-20.

    Brake or can? I have a JP 20" running their tank brake and a 14.5" (with pinned Thunderbeast flash hider) that I run with a 5" can. Neither is as handy as a true 16" on a Vtac wall, but both are acceptable. I like suppressors, and everyone else at matches hates the tank brake. I like and...

    LPVO + Dot question

    I run RMR's at 12:00 on top of a NF NX8 and a Vortex 1-10. Love it, love it, love it. I personally didn't care for the angled mounts. They sit up way high so I have a chance of seeing them through my PVS-14. I did some "up" drills comparing the LPVO's vs the red dots, and the dots were...

    How old is “old enough” for kids to shoot Real Rifles

    My son is 11. He started 2-3 years ago. He's now shooting .22 matches with me and regularly beats a handful of grown men. I paid him the ultimate compliment a couple of matches ago and asked him for a wind call. He was right on. I started him on a Savage Cricket with a red dot so all he had...
