    Help!! Brand new LR-260 and it won't cycle..? Iis something I am doing?

    To go from functioning perfectly with one properly loaded round to ceasing to function at all with another properly loaded round (and by properly loaded I mean within SAAMI specifications) usually means that something in the gas system has failed or broken. I handle customer service and tech...

    Building an AR, does choice of receivers matter much?

    So... Define "Tolerance Stacking"... And how does buying both parts from the same manufacturer avoid it? If Milspec has tolerances, then anyone is susceptible to Tolerance Stacking. Right? I don't disagree with buying both from the same manufacturer. But tolerance stacking is going to happen...

    Building an AR, does choice of receivers matter much?

    I work for an AR Manufacturer. My job is Tech Support and Customer Service so I see it ALL! When receivers are too tight I get a call. When receivers are too loose I get a call. When the color doesn't match I get a call. Etc... Etc... Etc. ALL AR manufacturers that "make" Forged Receivers (upper...

    There are more factors at play but conventional wisdom is that free floating is generally better.

    300 AAC Blackout powder and bullets

    I've run 10.8gr. of A1680 under 220gr. SMK's through both an 8.1" AR and a 16" AAC Bolt gun. I chrony'd the 8.1" at about 1030fps. Haven't chrony'd the 16" but with an SDN6 it's Hollywood quiet. You can hear that big 220gr. projectile WHACK the target louder than the report from the muzzle.

    Help Needed With Assembling SBR Please

    From what I understand, Obama passed an executive order that changes the "Trust loophole" as they like to call it, slightly. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but here's the way I understand it. With a trust you now also need to have CLEO sign off, finger prints and photos. But not just yours. Now...

    Bolt rings expanded

    Just following up... Did the new gas rings arrive OK? As I read some of the posts I went back and looked at your picture again. It doesn't appear there's any unusual wear to your bolt. I've looked at literally hundreds of them and nothing jumps out about yours... Except, of course, the broken...

    Bolt rings expanded

    Email me on Monday at [email protected] an address to send them and a simple comment like "I'm the guy from Snipers Hide that needs the replacement gas rings" and I'll send a set of Ion-bonded rings to you at no charge. John

    More Problems with a POF-308

    I handle customer service and some of the technical support for another AR Manufacturer. I've read through pretty much this whole thread and would like to throw in my two cents. First, why would they lie to you about replacing a barrel? Especially when they sent you a test target as proof. It's...

    Nickel Boron BCG's?

    We make a pretty good NiB M16 BCG here at Spikes Tactical. We can't keep them in stock.

    M1A Rifle Questions

    Plain and simple... The Norinco's are JUNK!!! They're not just inaccurate. They can be dangerous. Some of the older ones are not properly heat treated and I've heard stories of both excessive wear because of that as well as catastrophic failures. These stories were Pre-Internet so don't bother...

    Some M1 Garand love!

    To help with the Cartouche question if I may... The stock on your Garand looks Birch to me which would mean the Cartouche has to be fake. I guess it could be walnut with rough sanding marks but the "stringy" look of the grain suggests Birch. It's a very nice looking Garand. I wouldn't be too...

    AR tuorial for non AR guys

    Re: AR tuorial for non AR guys All of my AR style rifles are one brand... Spikes Tactical. Of course, I work for them so I'm a bit bias. But honestly, I've been trading firearms for 30+ years and have owned no less than 50 AR's from many different manufacturers and for the money I really...

    Teaser... First one actually built.

    Pretty sure this is the first one of these you'll see. I just finished putting it together this evening. Still needs optics. I really don't even know if we'll have a specific configuration for these beside the Upper/Lower set. I'm sure they're a limited run and may even all be sold. I got it as...

    223 brake

    Re: 223 brake I'm confused. Are we talking compensator or flash hider? I assumed compensator. In that case, take a look at the Spikes Dynacomp. I put one on both of my AR's. Running full-auto with one is like aiming a garden hose... But it is uncomfortably loud for anyone else around you. FWIW.
