    AAC ammo grenading rifles

    I can tell you that I have compared the Black Hills 5.56 77gr loadings to the 77gr 5.56 load that I got from Black Arc. Granted, I didn't shoot too much of either, at approaching $1.50 a round; but the Black Arc did come in at close to 100 fps faster in my 16". 100 fps really isn't much, but...

    Suppressed 9mm

    @OP, there's a lot to discuss with 9mm PCCs or SBRs or whatever you want to call them. I mentioned the radial delayed blowback rig that I out together to tell you what my experience was, which was positive. For me, it was quick and easy to put together. It turned out to shoot well,, but is an...

    Suppressed 9mm

    Oh, wow. I need to see how they got a fixed ejector to work with the rotating bolt. Still, I think I'd prefer the ejector in the bolt.

    AAC "SABRE BLADE BLACK TIP"

    I saw that the 55gr Sabre Blades were on sale for .45 a round, so I bought 1k rounds. I like running the lighter, faster stuff out of my 11.5s since I usually only go out to 300 or so with them. They shot well out of my rigs. I don't shoot for small groups because I'm not that good a shot...

    AAC ammo grenading rifles

    I've been shooting 110gr Sabres out of my 8" 300BO almost exclusively since putting it together about 18 months ago. I haven't had any issues with it and it's been a solid 1.5 MOA round for me using a 3.5x ACOG at 100 yards. Whatever problems I've had with AAC ammo, they didn't include...

    American Ammunition Company 77gr SMK HPBT

    You are right. I have brain farts sometimes and I was thinking in terms of some rimfire ammo. Even that might have been something I heard in a dream. I don't usually pay attention to those differences. I get what shoots good for the price right now and then I do what my ballistic calculator...

    Suppressed 9mm

    Man, you sound like me. I started with a 5.56 suppressor, just to "take the edge off" for times when I couldn't always wear hearing protection. Now ... I don't want to shoot unsuppressed. 9mm is great suppressed. It's cheap and has enough thump to satisfy that itch. I'd try to stick with a...

    American Ammunition Company 77gr SMK HPBT

    I get what you're saying. 200ish feet per second doesn't make much of a difference down range, especially with the 77s. I'd even argue that the slower velocities can be better because wind has less of an effect on the projectile. Still, faster is generally better, as long as it isn't at the...

    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    I guess I'm gonna just post this here since it's kind of relevant. I took the 11.5 Armalite out again today. It was raining like crazy and I left my targets in the car, so I used a piece of scrap I had in my range bag. I shot these with a 3.5x ACOG with my Fat Cat attached. The group on the top...

    Another Unscientific AAC Ammo Comparison

    Based on the numbers I've seen, my own and some across the internet, I suspect that the powder they landed on using has a faster burn rate than is ideal. Assuming that they are using a 20" barrel to get their velocity claims, it looks like they are getting to their advertised (in some cases)...

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Another spit ball, but did you confirm that the feed ramps on the barrel extension do not extend beyond the feed ramps in the receiver? Assuming that your receiver has feed ramps.

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Just spit balling here, but have you checked the mag height in the magwell? Long shot, but could be your mag catch is holding the mag too low causing too steep of a feed angle. Once an empty mag is seated and the mag catch is engaged, how much up and down play is there?

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Shoot, if Craddock put it together, give them a call. My knee jerk is that rounds are getting buggered up during cycling. Chamber a round and check it before shooting it. Have you tried a different magazine?

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    And the Omega 9k. Geez, decisions.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Yeah, the Hux 9ti is the other one I'm looking at. What I'm looking for foremost with this can is sound suppression and what I'm seeing is that the r9 does a better job. Not worried about weight. The rig this is going on has a 5" barrel and is pretty light anyway. I'm still on the fence.

    13.7 INCH VS 14.5INCH AR RANGE AND BALLISTICS

    I wholly understand what you're looking for. I am of shorter stature and prefer an AR that is easier to manipulate. I do a good bit of shooting out to 400 yards. There was a time when I had one each of an 11.5, 12.5, 13.9, 14.5 and 16" barrels. I also shoot a lot of m855 and various 77gr...

    Help with AR10 weird cycling issue

    Sorry, I don't agree with any of this. If there was sufficient gas to extract and eject the spent casing and the bolt went back far enough to peel another round off of the top of the magazine, insufficient gas wasn't the problem. The one piece rings are intended to be a direct replacement for...
