    40x chassis

    Both will be fine. Pick whichever one fits you better. Mine lived in an AICS for years before I moved it to something lighter for my son.

    Brake or no brake on 10.5" 6mm arc?

    Oofa. That's going to suck for you and everyone around you. I built an 11.5" in .223. Tried to get a zero on a rainy day at the indoor range. Quit after 2 rounds.

    Cartridges that work well super AND subsonic

    I've been contemplating the same thing. Haven't done anything yet, but in casual conversation with my circle of nerds I'm going to give good old .308 a look.

    anyone out there doing tenkara style fly fishing?

    Don’t know why I’d limit myself to a glorified cane pole. Perhaps in very small water it would be ok, but I don’t see the point. I hooked a 14” cut bow in a stream I could step over several years ago. It was a shockingly big fish for such a narrow run. I suppose I could have horsed it in with no...

    New build caliber? : 22-250Ackley or 223 Ackley

    Just built my first .223AI. I just love the way it shoots. I'm parroting internet lore now, so I may be full of crap. My impression, and one of the main reasons I chose .223AI is barrel life. My friends who shoot them are reporting barrel life comparable to regular .223 i.e., 3k-4k rounds...

    You know how sometimes something strikes you as hilarious even while you’re wondering exactly why? This slayed me. Laughed till I cried.

    Coup De Grâce 223 action experiences?

    Took my misbehaving .223AI to a local smith (shoutout to Shane at Harless Precision in Colorado Springs). We fiddled around with it yesterday. ARC had mentioned radiusing and polishing the extractor. Shane had the brilliant idea to remove the extractor completely and see how it fed. Like...

    Coup De Grâce 223 action experiences?

    My experience was that .223 feeds nicely in the Accurate Mags. 223AI doesn't feed at all.

    Coup De Grâce 223 action experiences?

    Since my last post I've had the opportunity to try several different magazines. The only one I've found that functions at all is an old AI polymer .223 magazine. As I understand it, they are no longer made.

    Need help putting together 22LR AR15

    ERIK72, my smith used what he called a hybrid chamber. Pretty close to a Bentz or Browning. We talked about the subtle differences, but I got lost in the gunsmith gobbledygook. He cut it so there is no engagement of the bullet in the lands. He cut the barrel to mimic what CMMG does on their...

    Need help putting together 22LR AR15

    I can update my own progress with the CMMG conversion. My smith completed 4 shilen ratchet barrels for a group of us that decided to do this together. Accuracy is excellent and reliability is generally good with one exception. One other owner and I have both had out of battery detonations...

    Coup De Grâce 223 action experiences?

    Would you be willing to post a video of your rifle feeding? Mine, set up very similarly with the same mags, doesn't feed well at all.

    Coup De Grâce 223 action experiences?

    Pretty similar looking.

    Coup De Grâce 223 action experiences?

    I built up a CDG in 223AI, too. I'm trying to use accurate magazines .223 mag. IIRC, that's what ARC recommended. It fed unformed brass just great. Doesn't feed fireformed brass worth a hoot. About every other round hangs up hard. Unfortunately, I don't have any mags that do work, so I'm...

    Precision AR -15 10 shot moa groups

    If you're not already, trap the trigger to the rear and control the reset. I'll hold the trigger rearward for a solid second after breaking the shot, then slowly let it forward until it just resets. If I find myself missing targets I would normally hit at a match, 10 times out of 10 it's...

    Ballistic AE

    I've never gotten Ballistic AE to give me good data on .22's. My Kestrel on the other hand, is virtually perfect out to 300 or so.

    Anyone drive a Rivian R1T?

    Wasn't trying to sell here, but I get your point. I'll report myself to the mods and see if this is allowed. Should have thought of that myself.

    Anyone drive a Rivian R1T?

    If yes, I'd love to have a conversation off-line. Another member here and I designed an accessory for the R1T, and we're looking for a few Rivian owners to post links to our website on some of the Rivian focused Facebook pages.
