    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Recon By Fire removed from PRS by Regional Directors

    In a sense, this thread is like a train wreck-nobody wants to see one but you can't look away and want to know what happened, how and why, who screwed up, who's blaming who, who is the prick that is wrong but slithers away somehow, who cares, very entertaining in a way. It's a great way to see...

    AR-15 Ranking

    Had 4 different LMT//MRP/MWS in the past, nice guns but didn't want to be stuck to a proprietary barrel or have to have one made by one or two folks that did it. Multiple DD guns, in my Opinion, one of the best for money spent. Plenty of research and development, outstanding quality and control...

    223 reamer for 75-80gr class bullets

    Wylde works great for me, 52-80. The 80's are SMK.

    SOLD ****RETRO*** 11.5" UPPER, COMPLETE

    When I put this together, PSA did not offer the 11.5" upper complete. I purchased a PSA 653 14.5, removed the barrel and installed a Brownells 11.5" 1n7 twist, all was new when I got it, zeroed it and has been sitting, was a second to my XM177E2 SBR. No issues, zeroed and you can see the rear...

    SOLD WINDHAM WEAPONRY 16" CARBINE--milspec tube

    First--only sales to states/districts that allow the "evil' features. Like new Windham Weaponry 16" carbine with Magpul rear sight. Maybe 500 rounds on this gun, zero issues with it. I did, replace the commercial receiver extension with a mil spec unit, staked in two places after proper torque...

    Barrel too hot?

    As always, every barrel will be different, along with the caliber. While not scientific, a .223 should be ok precision wise with a sustained rate of a round every 30 seconds. One would have to measure temp and compare against a target to see the effect. If I'm doing a load test, etc. I try to...

    Barrel too hot?

    I do some redneck shit like a scrap piece of cardboard taped underneath the scope Obj bell for mirage.

    Tikka action vs. Zematt Origin action

    This---But-as I just found out a standard stock cut for a 700 SA, the ejection port area had to be opened up as it did not match.

    Remington PSS, Leupold MK4 4.5-14x50 with Vortex low rings. 1/4" M1 knobs, TMR reticle, not illuminated, appear to be a 20moa rail.. You can look up the serial number if you like, it's in a picture below. Only selling as a complete package, fairly priced for a good deal. Tired of "living my...

    Who makes the smoothest custom action.

    Impact, Curtis, Pierce, Zermatt/Origin, all smooth. I would have to use a scale/gauge to measure the difference, shit you don't notice when using it.

    Density Altitude

    Great, if you don't pretty sure IDB offers that, even though that bullet is old.

    Density Altitude

    I think Impact Data Books offers cards, separate for each bullet type and velocity for various calibers. I would laminate a Density Altitude chart, hit JBM and make your own for hard data after you have load information. A back up or quick reference if you don't have a Kestrel. In your area, you...

    Are You Ever Amazed?

    You would be surprised on the number of takedown/pivot pin detents I have on hand, springs also. In a pinch one can be made from music wire and they last.

    Are You Ever Amazed?

    Things like this made me realize that I was pretty good making an AK flash hider pin from an AR trigger/hammer pin-more than once. Sucks after you make one --and launch it!

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    The 7-08 is a great round, mild, effective for most game. Do it! Plus, OTS ammunition that's effective.
