    Bcm thermofit vs aero enhanced?

    I would start by asking what length and contour barrel. A long heavy barrel may have some negative effects in a standard upper. That said my 20" service rifle match barrel rides in a standard colt upper and can clean the x ring. I go with standard uppers because it opens up forend options. If...

    Who Makes Thermal Fit Stripped Uppers?

    Yes. But it's a big difference between a .002 thermal fit and a .020 broken upper. That is so far out of a forced fit it's not possible. Numbers matter. Multiple people claimed a .98 receiver. It would be .998. The -0.0005 difference between the receiver ID and the barrel OD is the thermal fit...

    Who Makes Thermal Fit Stripped Uppers?

    It's. 998... if someone is making .98 on purpose I want to know. That would NOT be a thermal fit. It would be a broken receiver with any standard barrel. The spec is - BARREL- 0.998 TO 0.9995 Reviever- 0.999 to 1.000

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Timing threads is easy. With modern cnc super easy. I think any of the prefit manufacturers could pull it off. Win/FN could as well. Would just add a few bucks to the rifle.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Winchester- if your listening 3 steps to tactical/LR market ingress 1) buy the rights to CDI DBM and mill ALL actions for it from this point forward. 2) build M70 with good enough tolerances for prefits 3) come out with one in a manners/mcmillian with a m40 profile and 5/8-24 threads. If you...

    Wearing out a 308Win barrel

    Wearing out a 308Win barrel

    I'm at 6000 ish on a CHF chrome lined FN SPR barrel. I believe it's toast for my standard. It went from .3 MOA to .75 MOA. 175 smk at 2650 to 2700. Varget. Cleaned sparingly for the first 3000. If all I needed to do was ring 1 MOA steel targets it would be fine.

    You won't tie anything up at LRI. The 3d inlet service would work perfect.

    Gunsmithing What is the best bedding compound?

    I've used Accuglass, Marine-Tex and now JB weld Profesional. I like Marine-Tex the best. It flows well and sets up slow enough I have plenty of time to do what needs done. 90% of my use has been bedding hidden knife tangs and Marine Tex works best. JB weld is my second choice.

    Things you hear from LGS employees

    Yes i have. What's that got to do with a semiautomatic smith 9mm beating someones hand bloody and raw? Did any of you think to maybe check her grip and give her some guidance? My wife has no problem putting hundreds of rounds thru her S&W Shield 40 cal. She is petite woman. If that happened...

    By "Young Woman" do you mean a 9 year old? What 9mm will beat your hand so bad your raw and bleeding?

    One Rifle To Dial in Hunting / Scope Work Advice - 6.5 CM/PRC vs 7 PRC

    Agree with everyone else. Keep the 308. Shoot it. It's not limited to 600. You can take the 20" with 175 smk to 1000. Use the 308 for elk. A 168 tsx will put em down. But a 6.5 creed for the play gun. If you really want to do PRS it's gonna end up 20+# and in a chassis. Hell, get a Aero Solus...

    Crown appears to have been destroyed by "gunsmith"

    I would be willing to bet that was die cut just for that reason. The out of focus oic also seems to show some die slither that happens when the die isn't straight. That dude isn't a gunsmith or even a gun plumber. A good plumber would cut better threads...
