    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    My experience with over gassed was the bcg was moving rearward so soon the extractor was almost tearing the rim off the case.

    Gunsmith to make AR barrel

    I have a Kreiger 224 MTU profile barrel blank. Anyone recommend a good gunsmith or company that can turn it into an AR15 20" barrel? Install the barrel extension, gas port, etc. Thanks in advance.

    Are these tooling marks unacceptable in a barrel ?

    A friend had a stock Remington 700 in 243. Had a factory medium heavy barrel. Damn thing shot like a laser beam. Had it bore scoped and it looked like a back country secondary road..... "the proof is on the paper"......
