    AR10 issues

    Re: AR10 issues Actually the picture doesn't apparently show the deformed case head very well. It is very definitely pulling too hard on a tight case. It is very bulged out. The extractor is making the peal cut as well, as the bolt is turning while the case is still expanded in the chamber. I...

    AR10 issues

    Re: AR10 issues Actually the superperformance did not do this.standard loads did. It just started happening. I could take the gas block off and drill and tap a set screw in like JP does and throttle back the pressure a bit. It ain't gonna be easy on a vltor gas block though. perhaps a pri...

Have shot federal 168hp as well as hornady tap and superperformance. just showed up on 3 rds of reloads last month and just shot it today with the H 165 sp's.I just noticed the neck mouth is flattened on the side which...

    AR10 issues

    I have a relatively new built ar10 that is probably over 100 rds by now that has started giving me issues. It is 16" midlength gas system with pinned vltor block, armalite parts. It has just recently started pulling the case head enough to deform it as well as starting to shave a peal off the...

    XCR info/reviews?

    Re: XCR info/reviews? I should have taken pics of my shots last time. I have heard from my dealers and other users that they have a very high quality chrome lining. Supposedly chrome lining can be very accurate depending on the manufacurer. I was very surprised myself of the rifles accuracy...

    XCR info/reviews?

    Re: XCR info/reviews? I love my XCR. I agree with all the positive comments completely. I have a 16" hbar that shoots 55g hornady .6-.7MOA which is quite nice for a piston gun. Feels great to shoot, no malfunctions. It is a little front heavy with the hbar, maybe that will change when I get...

    Iron Ridge won't cycle?

    Re: Iron Ridge won't cycle? Is the rifle cerakoted? This will bring the spec's out of tolerance and make for a tight ride for the carrier. Lube the hell out of it. I had mine cerakoted over the anodize and it does make things sticky for a while as it wears to fit.

    Magpul M93B stocks-Pro's & Con's

    Re: Magpul M93B stocks-Pro's & Con's I had a couple for a while. I thought they were awesome as they were solid, good looking and reasonably easy to adjust with practice. However, over time I noticed the big ass lever would dig in the top of your hand when collapsed. It really bothered me. It...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor EBR-2B inbound

    Re: Vortex Razor EBR-2B inbound I just bought my razor 2 weeks ago for a smokin deal. I kept it a few days waiting for new rings to make sure the height was right and immediately sent it to Vortex for the eyepiece upgrade and also swapped the reticle from the ebr2 to the ebr2b. Glad I did. It...

    WTK: Opinions on Robinson XCR

    Re: WTK: Opinions on Robinson XCR I bought one in December from wild thang farms and couldn't be happier.I do plan to get spare parts just for insurance, but there really aren't a lot of parts it seems. I think it is an excellent design. It has been upgraded over the years so some of the bad...

    Which gas piston to go with XCR, POF, or PWS

    Re: Which gas piston to go with XCR, POF, or PWS I bought an XCR two months ago after selling my Noveske barreled AR 15. Owned AR's for 17 years+ and always loved them, But damn if I ain't crazy about my XCR. It is what AR manufactures' want to be. Great features that were purposely built in...

    Rifle Scopes Low power Viper, Mark AR, Or????

    Re: Low power Viper, Mark AR, Or???? I have a mark AR 3x9x40. Third one as I keep sending them back. I finally bought a nikon m223 2x8x32 that I much prefer. Nice size for an ar type rifle, shorter, target knobs, bdc reticle, and I got it for $279 at primary arms. excellent deal. Combat...

    Green vs. Red lasers

    Re: Green vs. Red lasers I owned a viridian with led light for my pistol. The green is truly awesome in its intensity. That being said, I felt it was way too bright in dark conditions and blinding. If you wanted it for daylight or lower light conditions it would be great. Inside a home...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon-M-223

    Re: Nikon-M-223 I recently bought an M223 in 2x8x32 for my XCR .223. So far I think it is far superior to the Leupold Mark AR 3x9x40 that I also have. It is one inch shorter, more streamlined due to the 32mm objective, easily accessible turrets, nice almost fold flat scope covers, and I like...

    Runners and Knees

    Re: Runners and Knees I totally agree on vibram five fingers. I have jogged of and on over the years and it has always been grueling right from the first step. Barefoot running is unbelievable. light, springy, effortless. I can go for months without running and just up and go, and feel great...

    Rifle Scopes New IOR 3.5-18x50

    Re: New IOR 3.5-18x50 These new IOR's are driving me crazy. I am finally ready to get one for my sakotrg42 in .338Lapua. which one,3.5x18x50 or 6x24x56? One has less mil adjustment other has less power. Is there a big difference between 18x to 24x? I already have a NEAR 25 moa base...

    Armalite barrel w/ DPMS upper?

    Re: Armalite barrel w/ DPMS upper? I just talked to my gunsmith today about the possibility, and he confirmed what Noveske said to you. He was a little vague, but said something about the barrel extension being different in length and didn't think it was something that could be fixed easily...

    Armalite barrel w/ DPMS upper?

    Re: Armalite barrel w/ DPMS upper? Specifically, what where the dimension differences? Were the reciever bores different sizes compared to the diameter of the barrel extension or did the barrel extension not allow the barrel to seat far enough back into the reciever? Those are the only issues...

    Armalite barrel w/ DPMS upper?

    Re: Armalite barrel w/ DPMS upper? I have heard the guys at 762SASS have sold a lot of Armalite barrels to guys with DPMS recievers. I was thinking of doing the exact same thing as I feel Armalite makes better quality 308 components and seem to be more available. If you do you should use the...
