    Suppressors Suppressed AR Accessories?

    I'm running the same barrel on my .308 as you and I'm using a PRI adjustable gas block. It's easy to tune and I haven't had an issue of the adjustment screw backing out because the carbon from firing "locks" it into place. Haven't had ANY issues with overgassing or "gas face" or reliability...

    Movie Theater Just got done watching Lone Surviver...

    Not trying to argue, but as soon as you pay to see the product they produce, you're supporting him/her. Dollars provide a lot of support. I'll watch the movie...maybe on a bootleg copy or something. One prime example of a hypocrite was Sylvester Stallone and his anti-gun comments after his...

    Cerakote on a Defiance action?

    When I mentioned to Defiance that the action will be cerakoted, they were grateful that I told them that so that they could remove a little more metal to make room for the coating. It made a difference.

    .308 Gas Gun load with 175's - Powder Question

    Currently for my 18.5" barreled .308 AR I'm using H4895 with a 175 SMK and getting 2570 FPS with solid .75 MOA performance. I also tried 4064 and had good accuracy results but was unhappy with the extreme spread. It was early on in my experience of handloading, so my practices may have also...

    RFI: Chattanooga, TN

    It looks like a vast majority of your desires are covered by Chattanooga. MadDog mentioned one range that has 500 yards and there is also a club in Cleveland (Cleveland hunting, rifle and pistol club) that has some nice facilities. I don't know how far their distance range is, but I've shot...

    Woody's Designated Marksman Match Sponsored By DPMS October 25th Series Finale

    Woody, any idea when the rules and minimum necessary equipment will be posted? I'm trying to decide if I need a sling or not. Don't want to spend money on something I don't really need. Thanks for all of the offers of help. I have no doubt I will actually take you guys up on those offers...

    Fulton Armory Criterion Barrel Results

    I'm too technologically retarded to figure out how to post photos to the forum, but I get solid .75 MOA 5-shot groups at 100 yards from a front shooting rest. You know Criterion is a division of Krieger...right? Basically, they are Krieger blanks that are button rifled rather than cut rifled...

    Fulton Armory Criterion Barrel Results

    My 18.5" stainless 1:10 does well with both 175 SMKs and 178 Amax over H4895.

    Gunsmithing Best AR .308 trigger

    I'm partial to the Wilson Combat I installed in my .308 AR. Short first stage, light, crisp release second stage, short reset. Don't know if it's the best, but certainly pleased with my decision.

    Gunsmithing 308 Barrel Length

    I've got an 18.5" barreled with a 1:10 twist AR that sends my 175 SMKs 2570 FPS and my Hornady 178 Amax's 2550 FPS (all ammo numbers provided are from handloads). My 24" barreled bolt gun with 1:11.25 twist sends the same 175 SMKs (different load, different powder) 2712 FPS. I'll be a lot more...

    Woody's Designated Marksman Match Sponsored By DPMS October 25th Series Finale

    Like what...applaud every time I miss? Just kidding. All I ask for is patience with a noob. I've been in squads in 3-gun competitions with a couple of new shooters mixed with veteran shooters and the veterans' impatient attitudes showed. It isn't pretty when that happens. I'll be all...

    Woody's Designated Marksman Match Sponsored By DPMS October 25th Series Finale

    I'm in! Gonna jump in with both feet (probably over my head) and give it a try. Looks like too much fun to pass up. Thanks Powerstroke. It helps to learn from others mistakes, but your squad is full so I went to squad #5. Something I can't figure out is, if it's a team competition, why...

    Woody's Designated Marksman Match Sponsored By DPMS October 25th Series Finale

    Sent a PM for more info. REALLY curious about a match like this. Don't know anything about PRS or other "practical" long range/precision matches, but it sure sounds fun.

    Kid dies after not able to get inhaler from the school's office.

    NO! Obviously, you don't get it. Are you a "teacher"? The inhaler needs to be with the patient, not stored in some other location.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time
