    Gunsmithing Proof barrels

    I have a proof carbon in 6.5cm that was chambered/fitted to a Defiance Deviant action by Marc at Spartan Rifles and it is more accurate than I am :-) I think some people (match shooters) like the heavier barrels because the additional weight reduces perceived recoil and lets them track their...

    Gunsmithing Cutting/polishing crown and polishing the chamber

    An additional factor is what ammo are you shooting - 4MOA seems pretty good for typical AK russian steel case ammo (heck, the xm193 I shoot in my ARs seems to be a 2.5 moa ammo) - additionally, was the barrel new of part of a demilled kit - I would inspect the crown for anything obious before...

    Does A&D 120i scale make a big difference?

    Hum, I'm still a bit of a noob but with my old lyman I would have it underthrow then trickle the rest. Time consuming, got SDs of 15 to 20 - going to the Autotrickle V4 with the A&D the SDs are more like 8-12 and way faster (loading 308 and 6.5CM)

    Proper DPMS AR308 Rifle Length Gas Tube?

    I think the gas tube lenght is a function of your barrel. Generally a longer barrel takes a "rifle" length gas tube but some like a Proof 6.5 AR barrel take a rifle+2 tube - you should check the specs for your barrel manufacturer and/or ping a question off the folks at Brownells...

    Quad rail/ infrared sighting and illumination devices

    The MAWL is seriously awesome but spendy, the Holosun works well inside 50 yards but I had some difficulties with target ID at 100 (though I am running older green tube PVS14s) on a couple of older rifles I have a Dbal-I2 and an Otal, paired with surefire wl/ir lights and a modlight dual switch...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lone Wolf Conversion Barrels for 40 cal Glocks

    I have a couple of glocks I've converted from 40 to 9 with convertion barrels - just a new barrel and new magazines (didn't bother with ejector) and they shoot great - I actually really prefer them, the extra barrel weight seems to help shooting them.

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Phase 2 will be a smaller/proper enclosure and to make a trap door out of the teflon. Right now I just slide it out of the way and drop the brass into a pyrex bowl 🙂

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    HaHa - it works :D So ugly and it drips a bit when running but it anneals a .308 LC brass in 4.5 seconds and the copper tube stays cool :)

    Pistol suppressors

    I run a SiCo K45 for 9 and 45. It is awesome, the only downside is it is a bit longer and heavier than a dedicated 9 can.

    Suppressors Blast Diverter

    I use blast diverters when in California (as apposed to NV or AZ) Surefire, AAC (51T), Silencerco , and OSS (Huxwrx) all make them, I favor the rifles with the OSS and SiCo diverters and for me is seem as though my groups are slightly better than when I'm running the can.

    Best semi auto 308 /dmr

    I like the AR10s - in the AR slant back family I have had good luck with LMT and Mega receivers. In the DPMS family I have had good luck with the Aero receiver. The LMT is factory the others were built up (barrels by Larue and Criterion) My shooting buddy has a Larue OBR and a Aero build up as...

    Reloading 9mm problem?

    I've used Titegroup for a long time with 45 ACP (200 and 230 gr) (without a suppressor) it always just seemed to me a dirty powder when it came to carbon residue left on things. I think titegroup burns pretty fast but you might try reducing your load and switching to a magnum primer if you...

    Powder v. Bullet v. Barrel Relationship

    interesting enough with regard to 308, I have a couple different uppers for my LMT gasser. the LMT upper barrel is 1 in 11.25 The Criterion barrel is 1 in 10. The Criterion is more accurate with the 155s I run through them (both are stainless steel 18" barrels, 155s are going about 2740-2760 fps)

    Powder v. Bullet v. Barrel Relationship

    add to the list magnum vs standard primers... I've played this game a little bit, made some nice sub sonic 147gr 9mm for a 10" PCC (but then is wouldn't cycle a handgun reliable) I have had some interesting insights with Gordons Reloading Tool, I think it is worth running your hypothetical...

    Who has a dueling tree or a plate rack?

    I have a couple of dueling trees. The older one is from MGM and has been amazing - tons of rounds both rifle and pistol on it and it has held up. I have a new one from grizzly targets that I got because it was a bit more portable - seems well made so far - wait for a sale like shot show or...
