    155's in a 308 gas gun

    10-4. I'm stuck with about 5# of the IMR variant so I'm on the hunt for some of the sierra 2155's.

    155's in a 308 gas gun

    WRT the quality of steel in the barrel, mine's a LaRue, and I think he bought the patent from Hank Reardon for super steel that never wears out. and won't ever develop a carbon ring. It does shoot, though. Thank you.

    155's in a 308 gas gun

    I ran across some rounds I'd loaded with IMR 4895 and Lapua scenar 155's and they shot incredibly flat - like 8 mils to 900 yards flat out of an 18" bbl AR. Has anyone else done this? Did this wear your barrel out faster than the standard 168/175 loaded like factory? I did not see any...

    Firearms WTS/T: Larue Stealth 5.56 ... price drop/trades added

    Sorry for the confusion. I should have said "rifle length gas." As opposed to mid or carbine length. Thanks

    anybody have an armalite AR 10 in 6.5 creedmoor ?

    Awesome. Thank you. I'm on the fence between this one, a LaRue 6.5CM upper, and a Smith and Wesson Performance Center model with a 20" barrel. I have never had anything from Smith that I didn't like, but they're not exactly the E.F. Hutton of the large frame world. LaRue is wildly...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Any differences in buffers, springs, etc., when making the switch? Things to be aware of regarding gas port size? @LRRPF52 is a huge fan of short barrels. FWIW, sir, your approach of one caliber has great appeal, even though I'll always have a few others for reasons. Alexander Arms needs...

    New to AK47s and want to learn

    Wisdom here. Do NOT buy one of these (AK - not Zastava), unless you want to PM me and buy mine. For way more than it's worth. Not sure what the brand is, but I've owned two and neither one blew my skirt up. Kalashnikov was way smarter than I am but he ain't Stoner. If you've absolutely got...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Whose magazines do you all recommend? Magpul, ASC (works well for me in 223), C products, and slander are what I've found. TIA

    PSA AR10

    Looking the part is definitely important. I think if I copy your rifle, but in 6.5cm, I won't look out of place if I'm wearing skinny jeans when I shoot.

    PSA AR10

    Do you mind sharing what you did to piece it together? Did you take it all apart and then reassemble with loc tight, proper torques, etc? Nice job. Glad it's working out. God bless America

    Replacement bolt and firing pin for LaRue large frame

    Gents, thank you for your replies. @longshot2000, I'll give LaRue a call and ask for John. Solid logic all the way around. @bigjake83 I have the standard bolt and firing pin. The primers look a little cratered to me - ammo dependent. Hornady TAP and some cheaper options do this whereas...

    Replacement bolt and firing pin for LaRue large frame

    Gents, I'd lie to replace my large frame OBR bolt with a HP bolt and reduced diameter firing pin. LaRue offers this, but you have to buy their spare parts kit for 350 ish and change and I'd really just like a new bolt and firing pin. Reading on JP's website I don't think theirs will work with...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I'm wanting to get my wife something in .243 for Christmas. Is there a length of pull difference in the compact model vs. others or is it only the barrel length? Thanks, God bless America

    Recommend a good book to learn chess

    CSM, I am a knuckle dragger. Thinking hurts my brain. Does that indicate I need to practice it more? In all seriousness, I have Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Napoleon's Maxims, Musashi, etc. If I could implement 1/100'th of what they know..... To all the replies, thank you and I will investigate...
