    22ARC or 6ARC AR15 for coyotes under 500 yards?

    Typical cheesy commentary, but shows 6arc performance from close to long range on yotes. Having shot a lot of yotes with 223/5.56, 22-250, 243 Winchester, and 6.5 Grendel, I can assure you that the heavier 6 & 6.5mm bullets are gonna get you a lot more bang/flop results than the 22cals. I’d...

    Pits attack and kill bike rider

    I worked a cut out truck in the zone 3 & 4 ATL areas for years. Pits, rotties, and Shepards are everywhere in the hoods. Lots of people open the door to talk and dogs “accidentally” get out. Mace or Halt usually stopped pits and rotties but determined Shepards just wouldn’t stop. We weren’t...

    Threaded too long? Armalite M-15 Comp AR

    I time mine so the index tab is at 6 o’clock. Even the flash hiders. I don’t think it’s necessary for the flash hider but that’s how the instructions show all the other devices timed.

    First AR10/LR308 build.. Barrel questions

    I’m happy with the Criterion barrels I have. I also have a Rainier “Match” 6.5 Grendel barrel that shoots good.

    Threaded too long? Armalite M-15 Comp AR

    Stupid question but do you have the tapered spacer installed? I’ve never installed a Surefire md without using it. Ill measure a Krieger from Krieger direct and share the length of the threaded muzzle. ETA: Krieger 556 shoulder to muzzle = .626” ARP 556 Socom shoulder to muzzle = .622”...

    Barrel blanks

    I wonder how many out of 1000 would shoot like that? How does it group at distance? Any 600 yard groups? ETA: that’s not a shot at D.Wilson. The work he’s done for me has been top notch.

    Geissele's New Heavy Barrel and SOLGW Broadsword project. (Up Date, 1st Load development session 18DEC24))

    Good stuff. Always a good time when one of your kids come to the range and shoots.

    LMT QC?

    Same parts and pieces, just more attention to fitment during assembly.

    LMT QC?

    I thought I remember Frank stating that they’re the same rock creek barrels I but could be wrong. This guy says the usasoc guns have a different bore diameter, who knows. Both companies put out some of the best large frames on the planet.

    LMT QC?

    This isn’t bashing Seekins at all. My stainless LMT 308 shoots better groups than my 6.5 SP10 factory barrel. Seekins aren’t magic, they use button rifled rock blanks. My chrome LMT’s shot right with the factory Seekins barrel before I replaced it. The Criterion barrel I used to rebarrel my...

    Seekins versus Aero enhanced uppers.

    I’ve only had to heat one. The rest, while really tight, could be seated without heating the upper. Any tighter and I’d have had to use a heat gun. As cheap as the Aero Enhanced upper/handguard combos can be bought and as well as they mitigate poi shift, they are what I recommend to friends and...

    Seekins versus Aero enhanced uppers.

    I have a few of the aero enhanced uppers. They work as they should. I’ll have a Seekins small frame to compare it to if the handguards ever restock. It isn’t as nice aesthetically as my Mega MML but doesn’t cost as much either. I haven’t seen any noticeable poi shift coming from a bipod to a bag.

    6.5 Grendel barrel suggestions

    I installed an 18” RTR barrel last weekend in an Aero enhanced upper for my daughter’s hunting rifle. I didn’t have to heat the upper but it was as tight as could be before requiring heat. I tried 3 different factory loads. Aac 123 gr tipped, Hornady 100gr vmatch, and Hornady Black 123 eldm...

    Tightest Lockup Receiver Set

    Mega Billet and LMT MRP’s have had the tightest upper/lower fit of all the small frame guns I’ve owned.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Hornady is a marketing machine. In the last few years I’ve seen more and more niche ar ammo for sale in stores. Even the ACE hardware stores here are stocking 6.8spc, 22&6ARC, 22 Valkyrie, and 6.5 Grendel. Hunters here in Georgia have really embraced the AR as a hunting rifle and want something...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I plan to shoot a doe with a 100gr ELD-VT and see how it does. These shoot really well in my ARP and Rainier Match barrels. I plan to move one of my thermals from a 5.56 over to a Grendel this year for coyotes after deer season ends.
