    Allen key size for keeper bolts on LaRue Quad Rail Handguard?

    Thanks a bunch! It's interesting, I've tried all my hex head bits with no luck, and also looked on the web, seems like a 8/32 hex head bit is a bit of an odd ball? Am I missing something? Sorry, looks like I missed your comment about a 9/64 hex wrench. Will look for that.

    Suppressors Precision rifle - direct thread vs. 3-lug

    FWIW, I currently use a 3-lug for my PCC and I do like the convenience. Since it is a PCC which is mostly for close shot, not real concern about slight difference in precision. Om the other hand, for a precision rifle, I am concerned about lost in precision. I don't mind a consistent change...

    Suppressors Obsidian 9 baffles stuck together

    Rugged's recommended formular which I used and will share with you guys is 50/50 mix of water and Purple Power. I heat it up to boiling in my US cleaner and let the stuff sit in it for 45 min then sonicate for 15 min. Worked amazingly well, but again, only the baffles/springs and brass parts...

    Suppressors Obsidian 9 baffles stuck together

    One thing about using US to clean the can, only the baffles, SS parts and brass parts. Never painted parts like the can tube or caps.

    Suppressors Obsidian 9 baffles stuck together

    Talked to Travis from Rugged today. He tells me that I need to put 1,000 rounds through the can and they will loosen up.

    Suppressors Obsidian 9 baffles stuck together

    Baffles was still shinny so no one used it. Trying some heat and US right now. Don't think it's oil or grease as the baffles were still shinny and new, more like the tolerance was so tight.

    Suppressors Obsidian 9 baffles stuck together

    This is not baffles stuck in a can. New never used can and baffles slides out as a stack but will not come apart. Have tried the hex wrench trick and only can take a couple apart. Any suggestions?

    Masterpiece arms

    I generally like it. My only small complain is my folder is not cushioned so it rubs against the action when folded. Small complain. Gun is super accurate in that configuration. I do not shoot off a pack so cannot answer that question. The Tikka .223 Varmint has a pretty heavy barrel...

    Tikka T3X Tac A1 versus Accuracy International AT

    I have both a Tikka T3x .223 Varmint and an AI AT in .308 and 260 Rem. The two rifles both shoot extremely well and I would actually say shoot equally well. However, they are very different rifles. My Tikka is sitting in a MBA Lite chassis and it is my practice rifle. The two things I like...

    Ai at small vs large firing pins

    No, it has zero to do with AI guns and everything to do with shooting large rifle brass like 6.5x47L or .308 Palma brass with SRP, or 6.5CM Lapua brass with SRP. It is the large FP hitting a SRP. In fact, I was shooting with a buddy just today who was shooting a new 6.5x47L (non-AI rifle) who...

    Ai at small vs large firing pins

    For a 6.5CM using Hornady brass and .308, you have nothing to worry about.

    A few questions about the 223?

    I have been shooting the Berger 80.5 gr Full Bore out of my 23.75" long Tikka T3x .223 Varmint with a 1:8 twist factory barrel up to 600 yards with no problem. Very accurate rifle and bullet.

    Rifle Storage question

    A new and/or bigger safe would not reduce you chance of rust if it sits in a humid basement. It is neither the safe, nor foam, or any porous material that cause rust but water in the form of humidity. The foam and or porous material will certainly make things worse if you have a humid...

    Masterpiece arms

    I have a Tikka T3x .223 Varmint in a MPA BA Lite chassis and love it.

    Rifle Storage question

    I think it really depends on where you are storing the rifle/bag/case combo. If the surrounding is properly controlled in terms of humidity, you should be OK. However, if it is a moist humid basement, no amount of aeration, desiccant will help. This is why running a good de-humidifier is important.

    223 version of the RPR

    You are seeing a lot of cratering even at mild loads... I see you are using CCI primers, they wouldn't be CCI400? Those would do it to you since they have the thinnest cups and is not meant to be used for high pressure loads..... Would suggest Rem 7 1/2 or better still Wolf SRM.

    Kestrel AB supports recharable NiMH batteries

    This is just a head’s up but apparently, this Kestrel AB now supports NiMH batteries. I had always thought that the Kestrel only supports either regular alkaline or Lithium batteries, with the latter being the only good choice as the alkaline can leak and damage the unit. Recently I started...
