    Gunsmithing AR-15 Free Float Tube Jam Nut Removal??

    bp: thanks for the info. That's what i was wanting to get, the right tools for the job! Bill: I want to remove it because I want a different one that better suit my needs and most importantly my wants. So instead of buying a brand new rifle, I put on the new part that I want. Since I also do...

    Gunsmithing AR-15 Free Float Tube Jam Nut Removal??

    Muzzlebreak: it is the same jam nut as the YHM. I will look into their wrench then. Thanks. As far as the Loctite goes, I have dealt with it before, and have never had a problem, just heat it up real good with a heat gun (NO torch) and use the right tool, and everything comes apart real nice...

    Gunsmithing AR-15 Free Float Tube Jam Nut Removal??

    The old tube I am trying to remove is an RRA quad rail. The jam nut that goes against the tube is about a quarter inch or so wide and has four horizontal cuts equally around its circumference. I don't think I can get a strap wrench around it because there is only about 5/16 gap between the tube...

    Gunsmithing AR-15 Free Float Tube Jam Nut Removal??

    Can anyone out there help me please? I am trying to find a spanner wrench to remove the jam nut/lock nut on the free float tube for my AR. I have looked on Brownells and Midway USA and all they seem to have is either a multi tool or a spanner wrench for the buffer tube. I know the one for the...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR or NXS

    AZ, thanks for the info. That is going to help a lot. I do plan on punching out to 1,000 yards, which like you said will probably turn into a mile later on after the addiction fully sets in. I do have a 20 MOA rail that will be going on the rifle and am already planning on running 200 or 230...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR or NXS

    Thank you to everyone that has posted pics and given their opinions on this subject. I really do appreciate them very much. I was able to locate a store an hour away from me that has both of these scopes in stock. So I will be going there this weekend to get a "hands on" look at them, that...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR or NXS

    I am going to be putting the scope on a custom built 300 win mag. I will be primarily using the rifle for long range competition and just all around fun. After seeing some of the pictures that have been posted and reading the comments I am starting to lean more towards the NXS. Thank you all for...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR or NXS

    Thanks for the info guys, I really do appreciate it. Yes, I am dead set on Nightforce. I do have a Vortrex on on of my rifles, they are good scopes and the only thing I do not like about them is their zero stop. I will be shooting long range, just for fun now with the hope of getting into...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR or NXS

    I was looking more at the objective than anything. If I get the NXS I'm going to get it with the 50mm objective, if I want to go with the 56 I'll probably spend the extra cash and get the ATACR. but from what I have seen is the 56mm scopes just look big and bulky. I live in a remote area that...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR or NXS

    Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new Nightforce for my long range rifle. I am looking at the ATACR or the NXS. I have seen 56mm scopes before and they always appear very big and bulky. If anyone has pictures that they could post of these scopes mounted on your rifles so I could do a size...

Worked great, and you don't hae to wait at all, just spary it on and go. It does not dry. In fact when I did mine, I sprayed on the one shot and then had...

    Gunsmithing Bedding question

    Well, do I need to remove any material at all then? Or should I just sand it a little bit and drill some holes. Also, what is best to make a spacer for the barrel, to make sure it free floats? Tape it up or just let the clay dam float the barrel?

    Gunsmithing Extreme spread ?

    It's an AR..... nuff said. That's why you are getting the spread. It is not going to measure the exact same amount of gas every single time to send down the gas tube or piston to cycle the bolt. There will be a little difference every time. In my tests there has been as much as a 100-106 fps. At...

    Gunsmithing Bedding question

    I am getting ready to tackle my first bedding job on a project rifle that I have. It is a Remington LA and I am putting it into a new Bell and Carlson stock. I have watched a few videos on you tube and all of the ones that I have watched take a dremmel tool to the stock and grind out almost a...
