    10.5” or 11.5” Barrel in SBR

    I bought an assembled 10.5" upper a couple of years ago with Noveske barrel and their own non-adjustable gas block. It ran reliably but it was hard and overgassed. Since replacing the block with an SLR, its much more gentle and haven't had any issues since tuning the gas block. Some short...

    Suppressors First time buyer and want to only get one or two at most to cover all bases

    My suggestions: 30cal - whatever deal you can find from a reputable maker. TBAC, Crux, SiCo, Dead Air, SAS, etc. All are top notch and rated for 300WM+. I bought SAS and Crux (Templar Tactical at the time) suppressors on clearance/group buys for steep discounts. No regrets at all...

    CZ Offering Integrally Suppressed Rimfire Barrels 2018

    You do definitely lose the versatility of a traditional thread-on or QD can (do they make those in 22LR?) so good point. Personally I solved that... by buying more cans, but that may not be an option for everyone. The big tradeoff I see in that regards with my CZ453 Integral and 16" 10/22 with...

    CZ Offering Integrally Suppressed Rimfire Barrels 2018

    While I don't have one of these (obviously), I do have an integrally suppressed CZ 453 from AWC and it is amazing. You really do only hear the firing pin drop and bullet impact. At the price, this is a steal.

    Suppressors Short barrels and suppressors

    +1 on Strykervet's recommendation. Call the manufacturer to see what barrel length and caliber restrictions they'll warranty. I have a 223 ARK can from the SH group buy a long time ago and contacted Templar Tactical (now Crux) when I made my 10.5" SBR. They said no problem and it was tested...

    Are there any AR 15’s made that you can count on shooting half MOA

    squib-load As far as accuracy here at Snipers Hide goes, there has been debate over the years but most don't count a group until a minimum of 5rds are fired. Don't care what mil does, don't care what gunsmith X, competitor Y, or Sniper Z do. Then a few years back it became "well, those groups...

    Elr central world record event

    First off, I love the idea of getting some sort of "standard" for world record shots. Also appreciate the work yall are doing to organize it and heard all the cats involved. Some (potentially stupid) questions though with the rules: Rule 5 on weight - Does this mean an Atlas 5H bipod (or...

    Just read about a 7mm SAW

    So I had read a while back (when going through my wildcat-or-die phase) about 7mm-08 AI. Based on the pictures on the West Texas Ordnance site, it looks fairly close to that. Any idea what differences there may be between the two?

    Desert Tech MDR

    I have an SRS and have been following the MDR since it was announced in 2014 if memory serves. I was hoping the MDR could save a tax stamp with 5.56 16" being shorter than most AR configurations at 10.5". Now I'm glad I went the Form 1 route two years back instead of waiting for the MDR...

    Suppressors What suppressor would you recommend for .223/5.56 AR?

    I'd take a look at the Crux line of silencers. I have an older Ark 5.56 that works phenomenally on my 10" 5.56 SBR. I called them a while back asking for ratings (bought it in the group buy about 5 years ago) and I believe they said 7" at full auto is no problem. I also emailed about potentially...

    Anyone ever run a fenderson Barrel. Fun 10-22 build

    I assume you mean Feddersen? If so, I would buy with confidence. When looking for a lightweight 10/22 barrel it was between Feddersen and Kidd. The Kidd came out a little lighter so that's what I went with. As far as accuracy, both have good reviews accuracy wise as well as both companies...

    BOTACH up to Old Tricks - Caught Selling Fake HOG Saddles

    So one thing I don't quite understand is how the Hog Saddle is regarded as a patent-infringing copy of the Triclaw yet the Botach Battle Steel isn't. Though it has to be flattering that in the lawsuit item 11: "On information and belief, Plaintiff and Defendants account for the majority of...

    Suppressors Tale of woe - can you beat this tragedy?

    Hell I was one of the earliest entries into the Templar Tactical (now Crux) group buys here. From when I sent in my check to them to when I received it via ATF approval was close if not 20months. Delivery delays, repairs due to burrs in the bore (TT took care of everything), Form 4 issues...

    Suppressors Question about silencer mirage cover

    No, it doesn't unless you shoot full auto. I have a swr spectre ii on a 16" 10/22 and even in the most aggressive shooting tempo, I haven't had mirage issues at all (16x max power on scope). While you're right to be concerned, the low pressure and powder of the rimfire rounds equate to little...

    Remington Defense RACS M40A6 "USMC" Chassis - THE REAL DEAL - Finally available!

    Nice stock, but well out of my price range/interest. Potentially stupid question- my understanding is this is for the M40A6. Is there a reason the sticker says M40A5?
