    Leaving the bolt gun for a semi auto

    Whatever happened to that fellow? I still remember my response to him! Something along the lines of, “LWRC makes a fine rifle, but they are far from precision rifles, and they committed a super doo doo by using CF barrels on their newest REPR models.” OP - as a guy who’s been shooting...

    Upper Receiver causing issues?

    OP - this is likely an ammo issue. Whether the shoulders hadn’t been “bumped” far enough back, or the bullet is seated too far out of the case, I’m going with it’s an ammo problem. What I truly wanted to inform you of is how to extract stuck cases/rounds out of an AR. Banging on the CH with a...

    2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

    No, my friend. That right there is botulism! ETA - I am also fairly fucking floored by the performance of OP's powder, Ramshot LRT. I've not seen anyone mention it as one of the ''go-to" magnum powders, but an SD of 2 is notable, to be sure.

    One Stop shop

    Lots of great responses already. I just dropped in to say Primary Arms once again. I stopped buying from Brownell's because they own the First Amendment-hating website ar15.com, AKA arfcom. Any of you dudes who are also members over there know exactly how far that site has fallen since they...

    Need help with Larue PredatAR 308 Problems surpressed and Trigger question

    But if you read the patent, specifically subsection 0015, it states that the XTRAXN chamber fluting deforms cases to the point where they are nearly “unusable” for the purposes of reloading. So are your barrels pre-2014? If you put a couple of pics of your rifles up, I’m sure we could tell.

    Tavor 7; Ammunition problems- Factory vs. Reloads

    This dude is 100% spot on. It has nothing to do with the rim. And he’s also correct in that even a small base die will not touch this area. Trust me: been there, done that a few times with a few different rifles. I would almost guarantee this is your issue. Most modern semi-autos don’t need a...

    Tavor 7; Ammunition problems- Factory vs. Reloads

    There are just some barrels that will not allow you to chamber brass fired out of a different chamber. In my personal experience, this is usually with semi autos. I have had two different precision gas guns where I was unable to chamber some rounds that I had previously fired in my bolt...

    Sig P320 Fires in Holster? : Sig's Response to Montville CT Police Dept.

    Where did I say anything, specifically, of the 365’s FCU rigidity? Reading is fun-duh-mental! What I said was, the potential for softness occurring within the 365 is not something outside the realm of possibility due to Sig’s long history of fucking internal parts up. The problems with the 320...

    Sig P320 Fires in Holster? : Sig's Response to Montville CT Police Dept.

    Well no shit it's hearsay. This info came from one of the dude's good friends. I know none of the answers to your questions. With my and @redneckbmxer24's points about the softness of materials they're using, it is not outside the realm of possibility to fathom this issue occurring in other...

    Sig P320 Fires in Holster? : Sig's Response to Montville CT Police Dept.

    I know of a CEO of a firearms accessory company that probably 99% of you would know (at least the company, not the CEO). This unfortunate fellow is missing both of his testicles as the result of appendickless carry with a Sig 365XL. Unfortunately, the beans were cooked to the point of being...

    Need help with Larue PredatAR 308 Problems surpressed and Trigger question

    I believe you are confusing @bigjake83 with Mark Larue. Only difference is, Mark is banned from the Hide as well. LMAO!!! Anyhow, I have a gentleman on here who would like to trade me one of my rifles for his PredatOBR, but the blown out brass from the XTRAXN chamber was a concern for me, so I...

    Stolen US Optics Scope... SCOPE HAS BEEN RECOVERED

    Damn, sorry to read that bro. Fucking thieves. The just us system doesn't hold them accountable, so might as well steal with impunity. Getting to the point where any item of decent value needs to be over-nighted. Even then, it's probably still got a 10% chance that it arrives to the intended...

    "Best" stock for precision 223 ar15?

    Good friend of mine had a Luth on one of his precision AR’s. That is until the rifle fell over onto his garage’s floor and the bottom of the Luth shattered into several pieces. It was very odd for it to get damaged that much from the rifle just falling over. Could’ve been a lemon, but ever...

    Upper Build Assembly techniques.

    Any particular reason you’re asking about the chromoly over the stainless? Not asking to be a dick, just curious.

    Upper Build Assembly techniques.

    WA blanks are also the blanks used by JP. Not sure about what magic fairy dust they’re busy sprinkling on barrels in St. Cloud, but it’s gotta be that good good because those fuckers shoot lights out!

    Which "gucci" ar to get?

    Absolutely true. My JP has the 18" barrel, and it's an absolute hammer. Knowing what I know now, I do wish I had them put the 20", but I believe I'll survive. Everyday an education and every education in a day...

    Which "gucci" ar to get?

    OP did indicate he wanted a "Gucci" AR. This is not the same as stating he wants an accurate AR, thus your suggestion would be spot on. I know MSTN has been around a long time, and I have heard that he builds accurate rifles, but I will never get on board with CF barrels. I have known so many...

    Worst Value Optic?

    I remember when I got into PR years ago. USO was considered a damn good optic. Then again, there weren't too many "top tier" optics back then: NF, S&B, Henszoldt, etc...I don't know all of the company's dynamics. I just know that it seems they've gone full Wal-Mart after the one fellow, John LNU...

    Is this normal for a Sons of Liberty Gun Works Upper?

    OP - Is the CH one manufactured by SOLGW? Can you post pics of where your CH is worn down the most? Can you see any wear inside the receiver? Apparently you boys haven't experienced the awesomeness that is: Radical Firearms. My brother, fucking cheapskate, wanted to buy his first AR several...

    "Best" "AR-10" for precision?

    Damnit! I stand corrected. LWRC's are the most awesome, accurate and infallible rifle systems on the planet. Whoever the USA PFPA are, they must be some real pipe hitters if they're rolling REPR's! Carbon fiber wrapped pipes too!
