    Pay a little more and cry once. .338 lapua, 300 WM, and 308.

    Not a need but sure helps: Headspace gauge (Hornady or sinclair) Comparator set (Hornady or sinclair) concentricity gauge

    OCW day 2 testing Varget and 185 Berger Juggernaughts seating depth testing.

    I am probably wrong, but I interpret your OCW to be closer to 43.5 than 44.5. and the .015 looks about right to me as your best poi average centering up those groups. I am still an OCW novice and would love to hear Mr Newberry's opinion.

    Who to contact to fix my post count?

    I lost all mine in "the great 2A forum scandal of 2013" :) I don't care how many I or you have, but I could direct you right now to no less than a dozen recent threads where members chastise somebody for expressing an opinion "with only__ posts". Then somebody comes here and asks, only to be...

    Sbr engraving please make this a sticky so all the people can be informed

    This lines up partially with what I was told. I was told I needed to engrave the name, but no need to come up with a new SN. This was confirmed by a friend that is an NFA collector and former FFL that has had the ATF at his home for inspections more than once (you used to be able to have a FFL...

    Sbr engraving please make this a sticky so all the people can be informed

    I was agreeing with the both of you. and I lost all my posts in the great 2A forum scandal of 2013. :)

    Sbr engraving please make this a sticky so all the people can be informed

    Yes, I called and was told by ATF over the phone that I would become the "manufacturer" of said SBR and that engraving the receiver is REQUIRED. I don't doubt the OP has a letter but it would seem that there is no consistency with the BATF

    good sign that the semi-auto market is getting back to normal

    Several local shops are actually having a tough time moving ARs. Not many people wanting to jump in the 223 market with basically no ammo available under a buck a round. I can pick up a 6940 for $1299 right now, 6920 for $1100. Almost everything magpul is back to normal except still few 308 mags...

    Geissele triggers

    I agree, could be the pin or the hole. Even if we assume Geissele never ships an out-of-spec or incorrect part there could be some slop in the hammer pin hole that did not exist with the old pin.

    Geissele triggers

    the video link that might show up later shows a colt doing exactly what you describe, the hammer pin was swapped to one a couple thous too small and the rifle fired once on pull, and again during a slow reset.

    Moderator Approval?

    Mine also went to 0. I assumed when I saw the "mod approval" message that my posts are being routed thru the NSA's PRISM :quethetinfoilhat:

    Geissele triggers

    I see I now am down to 3 posts, maybe thats why my first reply has to be routed thru PRISM

    Geissele triggers

    check your hammer pin. I posted a video link but that won't show until a moderator approves it :wtf:

    Just a FYI-your website is out of service.

    Dillon Thanks

    I am kicking around ordering a Dillon right now-good to hear about great CS. RCBS has also been awesome-they have sent me replacement parts I tried to pay for no charge on at least 3 occasions. That's for a rockchucker almost 20 years old.

    Rifle Scopes Upsetting Experience with SWFA SERVICE (so far)?

    I don't understand why this poster FAILED to realize that the OP had no idea his order was not in stock because the SWFA website bears no resemblance to their actual inventory. I attempted to order from the SWFA website twice, both times I found out upon calling days later that the items were...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR vs S&B PMII 5-25

    I am sure they subtend as well as we would expect from a NF product, the 4x magnification setup just seemed mathematically easier. I guess there is a demand for 5x variable powers, but the tunneling that always seems to come with it just seems to be a waste in my unqualified opinion. I would be...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR vs S&B PMII 5-25

    At full power it is half mil per line. At 11 power (which is perfectly marked and is one half of full) each line is a mil, at minimum power (5.5-which is again half of 11 power) each line is 2 mils. I have set up a yardstick at 100 yards and it subtends perfectly. I always thought this was by...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR vs S&B PMII 5-25

    One question that has nagged at me about the ATACR is the mag range. One of my favorite "design" aspects of the 5.5-22 is the fact that I can use my reticle at max, half, and minimum mags and it subtends perfectly. I always thought it was the most intuitive mag range in the SFP scope market, and...

    Did LMT just add these different cartridge barrels to their list??? 260, 6.5, 7mm08, 338!

    .260 rem .243 7-08 6.5CM 338 Fed all been available since within the first year the MWS came out, no change other than bbl as these cartridges are all based on the same case with different neck diameters. I traded a 260 bbl to another member here and his range reports were impressive with...
