    BCM Receiver and Lapping

    I have a Wheeler lapping tool; lapped lots of BCM uppers, never had a need for a "special" reduced diameter. But I've never measured the diameter of the tool either..............................works fine on every upper of numerous makes, that I've used it on. MM Your comment made me go &...

    Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 28MAY25) Update!!!

    Yes, it is on the warm side, especially if ambient temps get hot. I've used 8208 for quite a few years & have a good stock & I am 23.4-23.6 across numerous rifles. 24 gr is a bridge too far IMHO. MM

    what is the hides opinion on ballistic advantage barrels

    Buying BA barrels is like playing Russian Roulette with a 6 gun with 4 of the chambers loaded. Maybe you win, maybe you don't, but the odds are against you. Personally, I'm 50/50 with them. But I was able to salvage the bad one by recrowning & chasing the muzzle threads to all a brake to...

    Replacing the barrel on my Medium weight 14.5 inch run and gun upper

    Kinda depends on what you will accept for absolute accuracy & rounds life expectancy. Both Criterion (CORE) & FN make some very, very good, accurate chrome lined barrels today. MM

    Best AR-15/M16 Bolt Carrier Group For The Money…Who Ya Got??

    Absolutely nothing wrong with a good mag phos BC as long as it's lubed.........................but the other coatings will run better dry or with less lube & are just plain far easier to clean if that matters to you, especially the bolt stem. KAC still uses mag phos on all their rifles as far...

    I think he's FOS, with a fair amount of conjecture, if not outright mis-information & he has plenty of company. MM

    Best AR-15/M16 Bolt Carrier Group For The Money…Who Ya Got??

    That looks ass-backwards to me............... Coefficient of Friction (COF) is a major reason for coating BC's & in descending order of COF is DLC, PVD, NP3 (a form of NiB) Chrome, & lastly, manganese phosphate. So all else being equal (bore for gas rings, outside contact dimensions of the...

    Replacing the barrel on my Medium weight 14.5 inch run and gun upper

    Vltor uppers are nice, but of the several that I've used, none were are a snug fit on a variety of barrels, slip fit at best. So if you really like Vltor uppers, trueing the face & loctite is your friend. As for lightweight barrels that shoot well, Wilson Combat barrels shoot well above their...

    Recommend me a muzzle device

    These brakes are amazing for the recoil reduction for the size, but they are loud. Either the Gen 2 or the Gen 4 are great, but prices have gone up. MM https://www.americanprecisionarms.com/collections/gen-4-self-timing-muzzle-brakes

    Making magazines reliable? How? (AR-15)

    Lancer is great, Magpul Gen 3 are fine, Gen 2's are OK; change the follower & spring to Magpul; fixes most issues; file / stone off the inside edges of the lips never hurts. MM

    Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

    This ^^^. But the 10" is not an LR rifle, so I see no need for the magnifier in the 1st place other than for show. If I need more range than the Eotech is good for, then I want a different rifle altogether with an LPVO. YMMV MM

    RCA makes the nitrided BCG's for sure & at one time Noveske even mentioned that on their website. Not sure about the phosphated ones............but I doubt that RCA makes those as they offer no phos on any of their own line. MM

    The best of all worlds..............................

    Does ANYONE have a source for this rail?

    CMT makes nice stuff & I really like their receivers, but that rail is like lots of others. Look at the Ion Lite series from SLR..............their rails are some of the very best & some of the best looking rails available. SLR Ion Lite 13.7" MM
