    What are BCG overdosed symptoms?

    I was going to add something, but the boys already covered it. Do you have an adjustable gas block?

    SPR barrel suggestions?

    I've had 10 or so WO SPR barrels (Wilson blanks), some on my guns, some on guns I built for others. Every one has shot reliably into 3/4" with some load development. I'm tempted to say 1/2"-5/8" because that's what my personal barrels have delivered, but I can't speak to the ultimate accuracy...

    From Trijicon's website: The Trijicon SRO® (Specialized Reflex Optic) is designed with a maximized field of view and a clean, crisp red dot that deliver improved pistol accuracy in competitive-shooting and target-shooting applications. Notice that Triji doesn't mention duty applications. I...

    Rimfire Suppressor for Savage Mark 2

    I have a TB .22 can and some other off brand .22 can. I honestly can't tell the difference in accuracy or sound. I agree with the poster above that it doesn't make much difference on a .22.

    + Celia Langelius RIP

    Well, shit. I'm so sorry to hear the news. Congratulations on such a good, long run with your wife. I'm sure she was a lovely lady. Like everyone else, I'll be praying for you.

    Cheek riser for Savage Mark II FV-SR?

    I made my own from a sheet of 0.125" Kydex. Cheap and simple, and it worked great. I heated it in the oven and then draped it over the stock. I drilled holes through the stock and just bolted it on with carriage bolts and wing nuts.

    White oak 18” 3 gun barrel vs criterion core 18

    I've had 5 or 6 WOA barrels, all Wilson blanks. Every single one has shot really, really well. I went to the bother and expense of having CLE chamber a couple of Bartlein blanks for me, and both have been a disappointment considering the relative cost. One of them shoots as well as my WOA's...

    Magnetospeed bullet strike ?

    You checked and it doesn't work? I hit one harder than that and it survived.

    224 Valkyrie Barrel

    I have a 24" on a Bartlein blank. +2" gas. Paul Craddock did mine, not CL. If I had it to do over, I'd have CL do it. Mine injected copper through the gas tube so bad it would gunk up the BCG in 50-75 rounds. It took 1K rounds for that problem to solve itself which was very frustrating...

    A tale of two Bartlein barrels - Cryo treatment?

    Your question prompted me to remember that the heavy barrel has a +0.001 barrel extension and is a thermal fit. The light one is not. I’ve glued several barrels in recent years with no discernible effect. Couldn’t hurt to try it again, I suppose. The receiver face was already trued.

    A tale of two Bartlein barrels - Cryo treatment?

    Brakes on both barrels. Same brake actually, one in 5/8-24 the other 1/2-28.

    A tale of two Bartlein barrels - Cryo treatment?

    Both barrels in the same receiver. All else was identical.

    A tale of two Bartlein barrels - Cryo treatment?

    I have the two barrels pictured. Both are 1-7 Bartlien blanks, both chambered and profiled by Compass Lake with their CLE chamber. The fatty is 12.5", the other is 11.5" The load is 77 TMK's over 23.0 g of 8208 XBR. The first 5 shot groups out of both barrels are equivalent, roughly 5/8"...

    Is Color.... tacky?

    I have a JP that they did for me in a grey very like the one you posted as a potential example. It's subtle, but super cool. It invariably gets some compliments at a match, so if you're an attention whore it should be perfect! I did another in bronze ceracoat, it's pretty awesome, too. I'm a...

    If you could pick JP CTR-02 or KAC SR15

    I have several JP's. My favorite by FAR is a side charger. Actually, it's dual charge with the typical top charge handle and the addition of a side charge handle. I think they call is PSC now. Seems like a minor detail until you've lived with one. It eliminates the need for an extended top...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Current Les Baer pistols quality

    I wish I could answer your question, but my Baer is old. Love it. Maybe try here: https://forum.m1911.org/ I used to spend a lot of time there. I'll bet you'll get better answers since it's primarily devoted to 1911's.

    DBAL mounted at 3:00 or 9:00?

    Thanks for the input. It's the D2, so co-aligned lasers. It'll eventually get a Vampire or similar, so I like the idea of having the DBAL on one side and the light on the other. If I knew it was going to return to zero readily, I'd probably not worry about it and just take it off for day use.

    DBAL mounted at 3:00 or 9:00?

    My DBAL obscures 40% of my view through my daytime optic (NF NX8) in a 1.5” mount. I’d rather not mount the scope higher. I can take the DBAL off for day use, but I’m wondering what the pitfalls are of mounting it at 3:00 or 9:00.

    Seriously considering JP15 professional. Need input.

    What exactly does "designed to be over gassed" mean? Are you saying they beefed up some parts to deal with the extra force of the BCG moving rearward? I say overgassing your JP will get you exactly the same result. That said, I DO wonder about the screw that adjusts most adjustable gas...
