    Get outta here with that cRaZy talk! 🙄 😂

    Modified Cases Are Dumb. Change my mind.

    More than one way to skin a cat. Measure with micrometer, mark with a crayon and cut with axe. Plenty of error / tolerance stack in every method. Find the method that makes it best between your ears, gives you desired performance and carry on.

    Tac Ops Rifles

    Finally got glass mounted and trip to range. Keep in mind, I’m no Mike R on trigger and haven’t gotten in much trigger time last 3-4 months. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! I’ll get polished up so I can do the X-Ray 51 justice sooner than later.

    6.5 Creedmoor AR10 Cycling Problem

    Great to read you have both uppers running well & information was useful. When you rebarrel the 6.5 Creed upper, 22” barrel w/+3” gas will get you closer to being able to run same lower w/o putzing with different buffers. Ironically, probably be about 0.076” port @ +3” also. 6.5-8 Oz buffer...

    Advice on a silenced 308 gasser?

    Intermediate gas system barrel available now vs rifle gas system barrel who knows when; I'll take intermediate now. IF the can is adding that much back pressure.....other was to address. Intermediate gas is still going to be vast improvement over factory G2 barrel and much shorter gas system...

    Advice on a silenced 308 gasser?

    https://www.rainierarms.com/rainier-arms-ultramatch-gen-2-spec-308-800-gas-block-barrel-16-polished-b/ Intermediate length gas system on 16.5" barrel is going to fit your needs nicely. Rifle gas might be slightly better in terms of softer shooting, easier on brass but will be a bit more...

    Advice on a silenced 308 gasser?

    What propellant are you using? What is preferred can for 16”, large frame gas gun? Do you want a functional rifle or just want to vent? DMPS, Gen 2 or not, 16” bbl’ed factory guns that I’ve been around have pretty much all been POS that required significant effort to make run well w/o a can.

    What type of malfunction is this - when bullet doesnt eject

    No powder in those cases. Those who have done it. Those who will do it. Those who will do it again. Easy to have happen. One thing out of sequence, one distraction and get a case or two w/o powder. Once your OCD gets to CDO, probably won’t happen again. 🤣

    Zev Tech Lower / Upper AR10 Compatibility

    LaRue UUK will fit on Mega MATEN lower. Tight fit, very tight. Armalite upper almost fits but pins won’t fully go home. I have a “B” series Armalite, you’d want the “A” series. I do not have an “A” series to fit check with.

    6.5 Creedmoor AR10 Cycling Problem

    2800+ fps with a 142 SMK from a 22”, rifle length gas system, 6.5 Creed AR? That’s pretty warm / hot for a 22” barreled bolt gun and is over half your problem with the 6.5 Creed upper not working well. There is no borderline about it, that load is an accident waiting to happen and rifle / fired...

    Suppressors 308 Suppressor Opinion for a semi

    Appears I need a Dominus-SR! No first hand experience with Dominus-SR yet, clearly I need to rectify that.

    Suppressors 308 Suppressor Opinion for a semi

    LaRue TranQuilo OSS flow thru TranQuilo is heavier but is durable, repeatable, low back pressure and best can for the money to go on a gas gun, IMHO. TranQuilo is only can I have used that I don’t have to putz with gas system / buffer weights, can on or off, rifle runs same and puts brass at...

    High velocity "ftf" with my LR-308

    Ironically, I've found it to be just the opposite if I want to shoot heavier bullets with maximum accuracy and as much velocity as possible from a gas gun. Gas gun system MUST be tuned or accuracy at distances is inconsistent, brass life suffers and reliability of function is questionable; I'm...

    Tikka T3 270 wsm bolt stuck

    If bolt will lift and go fully up, bolt will not move rearward. Can put a brass rod down bore, through neck of case and against web. Wooden dowel works also. If have neither brass or wooden dowel readily available, either rubber mallet or mortaring are options.

    High velocity "ftf" with my LR-308

    Cases are starting to stick. Heavy up buffer and add an adjustable gas block. 43.0 +/- couple tenths of Varget in LC brass w/178 is fairly warm load for as configured from DPMS, 24” bbl. Cases start sticking causing extraction issues, which uses extra energy and gun no longer running smoothly...

    Coyote bullet for 16" AR

    Blitzking is thinner jacket, bit more explosive on impact but OP might have an issue with bullets coming apart w/7 twist barrel, even at 16", 223 velocities. Worth trying, just watch for evidence of bullet not making it to intended target. IIRC, many years back I tried some 55 Blitzkings in a 9...

    6.5G vs 6ARC 14.5"

    120 Nosler BT / SMK / Scenar / Berger Match BT is 2400 fps from 14.5" bbl'ed 6.5 Grendel. I don't have a 14.5" bbl'ed 6 ARC so unable to give you any hard data on that cartridge. Generally speaking, larger bore for same case size / volume will lose less when shortening barrel as burn rate...

    Help with model 70 bolt assembly

    https://www.midwestgunworks.com/winchester-model-70/pf-breech-bolt.html Will need to have headspace checked as it most probably won’t be right w/o some adjustment.

    SOLD Burris XTR2 2-10x42 G2B ***SPF***

    Spent some time chatting to shooting buddy who has XTR2, 2-10 and he also was quite complimentary of the optic. Should make an outstanding optic for 14.5", 6.5 Grendel and/or 223; still debating on which gets the XTR2.
