    Adjustable gas block help

    Distance from the shoulder to nearest edge of gas port is 0.253, on the gas block it measures 0.273. So I assume I can carefully hone this down on a flat surface (granite or glass) or on my fine DMT diamond plate?

    Adjustable gas block help

    I edited the original post with some measurements but i will add them below as well. 308 gun shooting FGMM 168. Aligning with a bore scope would be ideal. The gas tube is already pinned so should I take it out and try to align by looking down the hole? Any links to good methods to do this...

    Adjustable gas block help

    It's a pretty long screw. I took it apart last night to make sure there was no obstruction, and found that really it's only about 4 or 5 threads between closed and wide open.

    This specific gas block uses 3 screws to clamp against the barrel, no dimple.

    Adjustable gas block help

    Bought a new to me 308 wilson combat barrel that came with an adjustable block. I could not get it to fully lock back shooting 168gr FGMM. Dialed all the way in both directions. I even pulled both weights from the buffer. What do I do next? Chop a coil or 2 from the spring? Edit: it's a wojtek...

    Gunsmithing Thoughts on this barrel?

    Agreed. Removing copper really destroyed my accuracy in the past. I have stopped that process all together. Now I only clean (Hoppes, a moderate scrubbing, and a few patches) the barrel when i switch lots of bullets OR if accuracy falls off. I have over 2700 rnds of 150gr 6.5 cm going 2750 fps...

    Spare parts kit?

    So a friend damaged one of the gas rings on his BCG by not paying attention when putting things back together. Got me thinking about having an ar15/ 10 spare parts kit, especially since detents usually launch faster than the speed of light and disappear into another demention. So who makes a...

    Fitness GPS watches w/music

    Another Fenix 5 user. I dont use Strava, I just stick with Garmin Connect. I also do not use any of the pay by watch features, and i dont even load music on it since i always have my phone. I have enjoyed the auto route feature where you just set a distance and it maps a route for you. It...

    Fieldcraft Handheld radios for hunting/mountain use

    You can carry radios sure, but I do not believe you can Use guidance via radios to track and harvest. Page 93 of this years regs: Radio-telemetry equipment (WAC 220-414-010): It is illegal to use radio-telemetry equipment to locate and hunt wildlife with transmitters attached to them I Would...

    Fieldcraft Handheld radios for hunting/mountain use

    The one thing I have not seen mentioned yet is the legality of using radios during hunting season. In Washington its actually illegal to use radios between hunting partners on the same premise of why you cannot hunt after flying that day. Just a heads up. I have my license and use the Baofeng...

    Worth switching to a lighter weight chassis?

    Yeah I realized that the day the rifle came back from LRI. Thankfully I had them spin up 2 just the other is chambered in 308 for when this one is shot out. So gonna be a few thousand rounds before I can drop any more weight.

    Worth switching to a lighter weight chassis?

    In a perfect world I would be able to hunt with this rifle (next year?) And when I was in college I really wanted an AI (but could only afford to true and re-barrel with LRI ?). Then really wanted the K624I, and felt I already have a great rifle, going "True" AI won't gain me anything, but...

    Worth switching to a lighter weight chassis?

    Pretty much. Maybe next year when my kid is a little older I can actually make it to a few matches.

    Worth switching to a lighter weight chassis?

    I do not shoot competitively, just for fun with friends. My 6.5 CM is currently sitting in an AIAT 2.0 folder. I am starting to find that I enjoy shooting from various positions and using my tripod, and now I am finding the weight of the weapon (K624I, M24 26" barrel, Harris bipod, AIAT) is a...
