    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    I guess I'm gonna just post this here since it's kind of relevant. I took the 11.5 Armalite out again today. It was raining like crazy and I left my targets in the car, so I used a piece of scrap I had in my range bag. I shot these with a 3.5x ACOG with my Fat Cat attached. The group on the top...

    Another Unscientific AAC Ammo Comparison

    Based on the numbers I've seen, my own and some across the internet, I suspect that the powder they landed on using has a faster burn rate than is ideal. Assuming that they are using a 20" barrel to get their velocity claims, it looks like they are getting to their advertised (in some cases)...

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Another spit ball, but did you confirm that the feed ramps on the barrel extension do not extend beyond the feed ramps in the receiver? Assuming that your receiver has feed ramps.

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Just spit balling here, but have you checked the mag height in the magwell? Long shot, but could be your mag catch is holding the mag too low causing too steep of a feed angle. Once an empty mag is seated and the mag catch is engaged, how much up and down play is there?

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Shoot, if Craddock put it together, give them a call. My knee jerk is that rounds are getting buggered up during cycling. Chamber a round and check it before shooting it. Have you tried a different magazine?

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Yeah, the Hux 9ti is the other one I'm looking at. What I'm looking for foremost with this can is sound suppression and what I'm seeing is that the r9 does a better job. Not worried about weight. The rig this is going on has a 5" barrel and is pretty light anyway. I'm still on the fence.

    13.7 INCH VS 14.5INCH AR RANGE AND BALLISTICS

    I wholly understand what you're looking for. I am of shorter stature and prefer an AR that is easier to manipulate. I do a good bit of shooting out to 400 yards. There was a time when I had one each of an 11.5, 12.5, 13.9, 14.5 and 16" barrels. I also shoot a lot of m855 and various 77gr...

    Help with AR10 weird cycling issue

    Sorry, I don't agree with any of this. If there was sufficient gas to extract and eject the spent casing and the bolt went back far enough to peel another round off of the top of the magazine, insufficient gas wasn't the problem. The one piece rings are intended to be a direct replacement for...

    Well, nonetheless, for running with a FRT, chromelined beats stainless. Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if a chrome-lined barrel outlasted two or three stainless barrels.

    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    If you're looking at the 16" mid gas stainless, for your stated purpose, you might be better off with the 16" carbine gas HBar from EGP for $50. I don't know how long that stainless barrel is gonna last if you're rockin' that FRT. I'd call EGP and ask if their barrel is chromelined. If it is...

    American Ammunition Company 77gr SMK HPBT

    For what it's worth, if you check out PSA's website, the page for the ammo rated at 2550 shows a picture of the box for that ammo stating that the velocity is 2550. The same for the ammo rated at 2700. The Pic shows 2700 printed on the box.

    Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

    The eye relief with an LPVO on a pistol is only a problem if you didn't set it up right. You can get an extra 3/4 inch of LOP by going with an A5 receiver extension and you can choose an LPVO or other magnified optic with a shorter eye relief. I run two 11.5 pistols. One has a 1-8x NX8 and the...

    Help with AR10 weird cycling issue

    Wow. Ok, unless I missed it, you didn't mention before that you were running a one piece ring. One piece rings don't compress like standard rings do. Although, theoretically, they should give you a better seal, due to tolerance stacking, they can be too tight in some cases. Better isn't always...

    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    Just an FYI, when I setup my 11.5 Armalites, I didnt bother messing with gauging the gas port, I just knew it looked big and went with a gas block with a .070 port in it. Last night, I rebuilt the upper I had one of the barrels on and decided to gauge the gas port. It pinned out at .080. That's...

    Can we talk shooting technique?

    Non trigger hand? It depends. I don't do much benchrest type shooting these days, so when shooting from a position allowing for a rear bag, I'm using some sort of squeeze bag in the back with a bipod out front. I have a few squeeze bags, but I get the most use out of my pint sized gamechanger...

    Another Unscientific AAC Ammo Comparison

    I ran across some of my older notes. Back in January, I ran some AAC 77gr OTM over a chronograph and got a hair over 2700 fps average with my 16" Criterion Hybrid based rig. In March, I got in a new lot and chronoed to confirm dope. I got a hair over 2550 with the same rig. I also wrote a note...

    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    Thanks. Yeah, those 10 round groups kinda caught me off guard. Those were pretty nice. In all fairness, the barrel and suppressor were smoking hot when I shot the group with the winchester m855. I shot the group with the PMC after the barrel cooled. I have about 30 rounds of the Black Arc...
