    How is czusa customer service

    I've had good luck/experience with them. I haven't had to send a firearm back for work. I've needed parts on several occasions... Dropped a pistol slide off the cleaning bench and bent the front night sight blade. Then another time I misplaced a set of scope rings for a 452 22 rifle. Both...

    Gunsmithing Open up barrel channel or rebarrel rifle?

    I've had "service" kind of work done by Manners twice. It was a couple weeks each time door-to-door. Call them to confirm, but my experience is they turn this kind of stuff pretty quick.

    Adjustable gas block

    Agreed/True, but my understanding of the SLR is that the design tries to minimize the fouling that gets to the moving parts and theoretically extends the service life before seizing up. The Seekins model that I was speaking of literally has a screw that threads through the block and depending...

    Adjustable gas block

    My first AGB was the Seekins model that has the screw adjustment and the second set screw to hold the first in place. I quickly replaced it as I found it to be a PITA to adjust and couldn't consistently get it back to a known point. Not a big deal if you're going to tune it an forget it, but...

    Gunsmithing Upgrade Extractor?

    Thank you Chad. Great info and insights as usual. I didn't even know dual ejectors were an option. I'll reach out mid-week to talk through and explore options. Thanks again.

    Gunsmithing Upgrade Extractor?

    Started off with a factory Remington 700 action. Bolt was set up (from the factory) for 300 blackout. These bolt faces have the extractor and ejector in slightly different places than a standard Remington .384. Supposedly this was to make ejection of the short stubby 300 Blackout case...

    Suppressors Filing a Form 1

    They are up and running processing form 1s. I had them complete 2 separate form 1s for SBRs yesterday, they had all my information from a prior purchase. The whole process took less than 10 minutes. Docs were signed via electronic signature. My trustees just followed email links to do the...

    Gas block adjusted correctly?

    I'm new to adjustable gas blocks. Looking for for confirmation and or advice. I adjusted the gas block per Seekins instructions. Tuned it specifically for running with a supressor. Works great. Brass is lightly tossed at the 3:00-3:30, locks back on last round, brass looks much cleaner and...

    Sourcing a 6.8 SPC II barrel

    Yes I'm dead set on a 12.5" 6.8. Hoping to use an existing hand guard on an SBR for a specific purpose. I have another 6.8 SPC with 16" barrel that I use heavily, so I'm invested in the magazines, brass, bullets, dies etc. The caliber works for my needs. Not really looking to jump to the Grendel...

    Sourcing a 6.8 SPC II barrel

    Was looking for a 12.5" AR Precision 6.8 SPC II barrel, but they are out of stock and will not be available for 90+ days. Any ideas on other quality 6.8 AR barrel manufactures that have stock on hand? This will be an under 200 yard hog killer. No need for an ultra match barrel.

    Re-barreling .223 to 6mmBR in Remington 700 action

    I did exactly what you're asking... I took a Rem 700 in 223 and converted it to a 6 Norma BR. Smith swapped out a the bolt with a .473, re-barreled and off to the races. I opted to use bottom metal that accepts AICS mags. Converted the mags using the Primal Rights conversion kit. It takes...
