    MDT Bipod - NRL22, is juice worth squeeze?

    I think some of my issue is chassis related. a stage that kicked my ass in December went from barrel, to prone, to saw horse and back. Bravo chassis + cykepod won't let me go from barrel like this to a sawhorse type barricade without sliding it forward quite a bit in between positions. The...

    MDT Bipod - NRL22, is juice worth squeeze?

    This is definitely going to happen. I just built this bipod up in my head as a do-it-all $700 solution. Lots of good shooters I see have them and I wondered what I was missing out on. Both bipods will be with me going forward for sure. Next is a pump pillow, but I haven't lost my self respect...

    MDT Bipod - NRL22, is juice worth squeeze?

    No no haha, I mean the difference in cost between an atlas and a cykpod. Might be more or less but it feels like it was 400 more. And feelings are what matters

    MDT Bipod - NRL22, is juice worth squeeze?

    Thanks for the input gents, I mightve gone with the PRS model if I researched more. In the prone the double pull is great compared to the atlas, i can set it up/fine tune it much faster. This post was spurred on because I just got the thing and find myself wanting to go back to the atlas for...

    MDT Bipod - NRL22, is juice worth squeeze?

    I finally bit the bullet for the MDT double pull, I've been using it for about a week through a few different rifles. For NRL 22 specifically, I don't see any reason to drop the coin on this thing. PRS, NRL hunter, field shooting whatever I get it. Does anyone who shoots NRL22 really prefer...

    M1 garand reamer damage, safe?

    I looked through a few of them, its far less visible from the inside. 🤷‍♂️

    M1 garand reamer damage, safe?

    Yea I don't think it's worth it to keep shooting it and wrecking expensive brass. It's the only 30-06 i own, I'm looking at 308 barrels, the criterion ones aren't too expensive. I'll shoot it more in 308

    M1 garand reamer damage, safe?

    I also considered tossing some JB weld in there to fill it, renting a finish reamer to clean it up. I have the steady hands of a surgeon, can chuck it up in the old Dewalt shell be good as new.

    M1 garand reamer damage, safe?

    I had my m1 garand re barreled a long time ago. A gunsmith friend of my dad's gave me a good deal on it, and it was a new SA barrel (52 I think) I was maybe 18 years old at time, didnt think much about it or inspect it, i just wanted to shoot it. This was well over a decade ago. I started...

    LMT feed issues

    Because it's the second barrel doing this, I'm suspicious that the upper is out of tolerance. If that's the case it kinda ruins the quick change barrel option unless I want to blend every barrel I buy to match the upper. I trust this gun about as far as I can throw it, I think a QCd replacement...

    First magazine. Made it through 5 rounds. Failure to feed.

    LMT feed issues

    This will probably be the last thing I post on this, but I think it's worth it to share so anyone else looking at what I'd call the expensive AR10s will perhaps be able to use my anecdote to help inform their choice. The barreled upper came back with 20" barrel on it today. Great. The feed...

    LMT feed issues

    Just an update for any future readers, LMT has had my upper for a little over a month now. I asked if they would just replace the 16" barrel and put a 20" on it. This is what I wanted anyways, i bought the 16 because thats all that was available at the time. They agreed to do this which made me...

    LMT feed issues

    You're not lying. I had some GI bill left after college so I went to trade school for machining. Worked as a setup machinist for a couple of years. I love machining, I especially enjoy making one-off high precision parts. In the sticks of northeast Tennessee good luck making any money though. I...

    For anyone reading I rescind this comment. Wait for the KAC or get something else

    LMT feed issues

    This ill check. I already sent the upper back about 3 weeks ago. No communication from them. Called and was told might be a month before they get around to it. Over 3k for a rifle that doesn't work, and a couple months to get it fixed.. Should have just bought 3 PSA ar10s...

    LMT feed issues

    For any prospective LMT buyers reading this, LMT got back to me today, they were busy due to a holiday sale which is understandable. They're gonna have me ship the upper and barrel back for inspection.

    LMT feed issues

    Yea they haven't responded in a few days so it doesn't seem like they care too much. The more I think about it... I dropped the coin on this rifle because I wanted an accurate and reliable AR10 and wanted to avoid issues. So if I gotta send it back fine. But this is turning out to be a $3400...

    LMT feed issues

    H3 buffer and carbine length? Spring. Idk what length it is, might be longer but it's stock from the factory. I've tried some winchester I had laying around, and hand loads. Same story for both. It's a bummer on a rifle this expensive.
