    Beleiver in AR lapping

    I would disagree with you based on the lengthy time I have spent in class with people who manufacturer these guns according to TDP. The dimensions are perfect if build to TDP, no lapping needed/truing of faces is needed.

    Head spacing is only needed on the AR15 market because they are not made to (Mil Spec) TDP (Technical Data Package). Many modern AR manufacturers use 6061, which is also not the specified 7075 according to TDP. Heck if you see a barrel called mil spec 4150, that is wrong as the TDP also calls...

    This whole topic proves Mil-Spec is a sales pitch. No one makes a Mil-spec gun unless you are COLT or another company who is contracted, May Be FN. Spend the dough on an actual military gun from Colt. Not their AR versions $800-$1400, sporters, ect. Even now, Colt mostly cheaps out on the...

    You have it correct. A proper headspace is with the barrel and barrel extension in the upper receiver. Otherwise, the dimensions change once installed.

    Help with Masterpiece Arms Rifle Trigger Upgrade

    I agree with you on a lot. As I said above hand tight was enough but hand tight for some can also be 30in/lb. Use a screw driver tq wrench vs a ratchet. Hand tight is very different between the two. Those screws are hardened and typically break the heads off around 57in/lb+. I to use it only for...

    Help with Masterpiece Arms Rifle Trigger Upgrade

    I find this odd. I do understand how bedding helps the action seat to a stock/chassis and hold them better, but seeing as the action is torqued to the barrel, and the rail/scope/action/barrel are attached independent of the chassis, a shift in POA/POI would need to be looked at better. The...

    Help with Masterpiece Arms Rifle Trigger Upgrade

    Pretty fucking dumb? Tell us then, what is it suppose to be? or are you just talking smack? Seeing as scopes are much more fragile than a NV mount, yet no MFGR can agree on torque values but scope rings range from 15-25in/lb. Scope mounts range from 14-68 and many mounts are made from the same...

    Help with Masterpiece Arms Rifle Trigger Upgrade

    Way overthinking. No gotchas, easy chassis to work with. Are you running Night Vision? if not, why worry. if you are, call them but 30in/lb is a typical value. I have found a snug hand tight on non essentials (Bipod, Stock parts) is just fine and does not loosen. Scope rings, action are the only...

    Large frame Buffer question

    A rifle and carbine are two different animals and There is a big difference. If going with JP also get the adjustable weight bolt carrier. That’s an incredible combo. If you want a Carbine/Rifle hybrid, get the Vltor RE5 (longer receiver extension than carbine) and get a Slash’s , heavy...

    What bullets 6.5/.264 for PRS

    Never really looked into them. Was debating the 142SMK but at the same price as the Hybrids I’ll stay with Hybrid.

    What bullets 6.5/.264 for PRS

    After loving the 140hybrid, I tested the 147. Have excellent results with 40.4g of 4350. At 2713 avg. (low node) ES of 5 SD of 2.3. Still have about 420 left to load which is Awesome but I broke 4-5 tips off during reloading. I have deformed several and noticed some are deformed right out of the...

    Breaking in 6mm creedmoor.

    After the money you dropped on that, spend $500 and get a reloading set up. $1200-1500 will get you a great set up.

    Chassis that is adjustable enough to fit a child but adjust enough to fit a small woman?

    Masterpiece Arms makes a youth chassis with lots of adjustment.

    Ladder test, createred and pierced primers.

    What really surprised me was that 40.4g with both primers went 2719-2724. I’ll stick with that charge for now

    Ladder test, createred and pierced primers.

    Problem was primers. Ran the same ladder of 11 rounds with CCI450 and not one issue. All primers were perfect.

    Small groups but large SD

    100 yards? Won’t show much. I did a ladder of 39.8grains to 42 grains over the chrono with over 150fps difference at 200 yards and every one was under 2” group without much trying for precision. What was your ES? ES and SD help with consistency at distance. Not much good at 100

    Ladder test, createred and pierced primers.

    Yes, I pulled up SAAMI specs to double check it wasn't my sizing or chamber. Every piece of brass I measured either after firing or after resizing was within spec. Even pulled out my Mituoyo Micrometer for it as i know calipers can be off.

    Ladder test, createred and pierced primers.

    Not a good day. Did a ladder test on my 6.5 (Impact with small firing pin, Muellerworks 23.5") from 39.8-42g of 4350, 1 round every .2g, CCI400, Hdy 147. Lapua SP case. Full length sized, neck at .291-.292 after loading to 2.83oal. No flattened primers but every one was cratered (Bulged around...
