    Muzzle break

    I run a jp recoil eliminator on a 10” 7.62x39 (not exactly 300 bo, but close ish). It makes the recoil MUCH more manageable, easy to shoot. However the concussive force hammering those standing near by is miserable and punishing. Not something to shoot at a range around others, or in a closed...

    Rifle Scopes When does the step up to "Precision" rings start making a difference?

    The Vortex Precision Matched, hands down. Very good rings, they are the minimum I buy for anything anymore.

    Rifle Scopes Nikon to stop making scopes???

    The Fx1000 doesn’t look bad, especially with the clearance sales that will be occurring now, however my experience dealing with Nikon warranty scares me on discontinued product line. I worked as the warranty guy at a three location sporting goods chain, and of all brands Nikon was one of the...

    Substitute for varget

    I’m going to suggest something a bit different, bear with me. When I can’t find Varget it seems some of the substitute powders like 4064 is also in short supply. Take a look at AR comp, which while double base, is temp stable, and I’ve found to be just as accurate with the 175 Berger’s and 178...

    Maggie’s Gun Show Wisdom

    Well done. It is things line this that make a measurable impact on the next generation of shooters. One can overhear some pretty unusual things at a gun show. Some of the “knowledge” makes for great stores.

    Suppressors New rifle incoming and 'need' a new silencer

    I have an SRS, 308 barrel while I save up for the 338. Run both a harvester 338, and a omega can on it. Usually keep the 338 can attached as it is just as quiet (maybe quieter), and seems to heat up more slowly/cool quicker due to the larger diameter and length. But the heat thing could just be...

    30 06 Proof carbon barrel update!

    Glad they stood behind it! Always nice hearing when a company does right.

    Help me find an AR10 receiver set

    Mega maten is amazing if you can find a set. I’d buy another, even used (there were some in the for sale section here a while back). Personally I was really sad when Zev took over the designs, as I feel they regressed on the engineering by a decade and killed the innovation and builder options...

    Suppressors Aluminum Supressors

    There are a reason a lot of suppressors use at minimum titanium or often super alloys, the environment at the muzzle is ruthless on centerfire cartridges. High heat, high pressure, and high speed powder particulate. Suppressors are a lifetime purchase JMGlasgow said, aluminum isn’t a lifetime...

    Smith Tactical presents Smith Tactical Munitions.

    Best of luck to you! Launching a business is tough enough without legal hurtles. Saved your site for the next time I need to buy some match Ammo.

    Jp enterprises silent capture spring

    Zero cons, except after shooting one, you will want to add them to every present and future AR. Doubly important if you shoot suppressed.

    SA9805 Worth The High Buck?

    I went the match AR10 route, my shooting buddy the M21. Both great options, however with an adjustable glass block the AR10 suppressed easier and better with less tweaking. Both accurate and fun to shoot. Easier to put glass on the AR10. I like the options the AR platform brings, but I also...

    30-06 any love anymore?

    My first hunting rifle was my dads 30-06. He started me out with 125 spire point handloads. Perfect for deer, and light enough recoil skinny 12 year old to handle. Offers some good versatility in capabilities depending on shooters needs, especially with modern bullets.

    Suppressors List of user serviceable center-fire suppressors?

    Cleaning a can is a bit over rated. Probably more necessary on the 22 cans as they have so little internal volume, but even then I don’t really worry about it on mine.

    Tight Hamstrings

    I have very tight hamstrings as well, and have had great improvements with daily stretching. Yoga has also helped, and I like the Down Dog app. The second thing I noticed helping my stretching routine sounds crazy, but *for me* noticeably helped. I’ve had very good luck with Plum Dragons...

    PWS owners Mod 1 or Mod 2?

    You may have newer info than I do - I apologize if I spread old info. When I was deciding on mod 1 vs mod 2 three months ago the bolts carriers were slightly different according to pws. Standarding is a good improvement.

    PWS owners Mod 1 or Mod 2?

    I have both a mod 1 and a mod 2, and both are solid. The advantage to me of the mod 2 are the weight savings and that the hand guard clamps onto the upper receiver and not the barrel nut (which *may* effect accuracy). Also, if you want to use a jp silent capture spring, only the mod 2 is...
