    TriggerTech Diamond AR10 vs AR15

    I thought so too. However, there’s definitely two models. I use 450 primers in Grendels and creedmoor loads... wtf Chuck. I’d think either would be fine. Maybe the .03 ounces more the firing pin weighs needs a heavier spring and hammer? That makes sense. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Dudley, you’ve had right many...

    TriggerTech Diamond AR10 vs AR15

    I know the AR10 has a heavier spring and hammer than the AR15 models. Has anyone ever ran the AR15 model in an AR10 caliber?

    Proof research +3 gas Aero M5e1

    Not to my knowledge. I’d gladly pay for it. I really like the barrel I’ve got on order but I’m afraid I’m going to have to cancel it. ZEV looks like a better option with longer Handguards available. I could by another m5 upper and find a handguard that’ll cover everything. I like the way ZEV and...

    Proof research +3 gas Aero M5e1

    I agree with you 100%. The upper is an M5e1 and I don’t think anything else will work on it. I’m going to do something different. I just don’t know what.

    Proof research +3 gas Aero M5e1

    I may have to back up and punt. It looks like I’ll have about 3/4” of tube exposed. I’m not sure my CDO will allow this. Is it acceptable for some? Know of any options to get around this? A regular M5 with a longer handguard? The PR barrel I ordered is 24” with the .868 between the muzzle and...

    Proof research +3 gas Aero M5e1

    Will a 15” handguard cover a +3 gas tube? I think it may, I wonder how much of the block will be exposed? Anyone have something they can relay to? This is for 6.5 creedmoor with an Aero M5e1 handguard.

    Suppressors AR15 Suppressor

    Ive got a Surge. I’ve had it on four different rifles and accuracy has been on par or better than without the suppressor installed. Tone wise, I’m comfortable shooting without ear protection. Full disclosure, the biggest thing I’ve had it on is a .308. It’s my only can and I will absolutely buy...

    Rate of fire/temperature and the effect on standard deviation

    Good evening, I shot two separate 5 shot groups. The first group was relatively fast at 100 yards. With an SD of 19.4/ES48. The second group was slower and shot at 425. This group had an SD of 10.7/ES of 33. I know barrel temperatures effect velocity. During load development or shooting in...

    Grendel loads with large accuracy nodes

    I found that the Nosler meplat varied a little so I’m measuring base to ogive. I’m a 1.760 on that. I’m thinking close to 2.265? I can certainly seat them out further but I’ve got an AR as well that I’d like to run them in. I’ve never shot any Bergers... at all. Mainly Nosler, Hornady and...

    Grendel loads with large accuracy nodes

    That was my experience with AR Comp as well. I had excellent accuracy with 27.6-27.8 grains with Nosler CC or the Hornady ELD in 123. Since hanging a suppressor on the end of it, I’ve had to reduce that loss to 27.5 to achieve the accuracy I had without it. Thinking my velocity would’ve been...

    Grendel loads with large accuracy nodes

    It’s simply a Howa mini action. Not an 11.5-12” barrel ar. The 3-3.5 is interesting. I was wondering if there was a rule of thumb so to speak. I wish I’d have gotten more H4895. I’ve got 8#s of the xbr and ar Comp. I’ve got 500 of the 107s and about that in 123 eld(s) and nosler cc(s). Thank you...

    Grendel loads with large accuracy nodes

    Good evening, What weight bullet has the largest accuracy node? I know a lot of work has been done with the 123s. I’m wondering what bullets (in your experience) has produced the largest accuracy node? I’m going to shoot some 100s and 107s tomorrow. The 123s seem to have a narrow node of about...

    Suppressors 1:8 Lothar Walther blackout barrel

    You are correct. I was concerned that when the bullet entered the suppressor that it would wobble enough to cause a strike. I’m using the 1680 as well. I understand how temperature sensitive some rifle powders are.

    Is this a Liberty or Satern barrel? Thank you!

    Suppressors 1:8 Lothar Walther blackout barrel

    Absolutely. That goes along with everything I’ve read as far as what was originally used, the performance on game and the current faster twist/ shorter barrels. I read where it was originally developed with an 8 twist and moved to a 7. I was hoping for feedback like yours because I’m concerned...

    Suppressors 1:8 Lothar Walther blackout barrel

    Anyone running an 8 twist blackout barrel? Either a Spike’s or LW? I see Daniel Defense is turning them out as well. I’m wondering if anyone has shot 220 smk(s) through them. I’m concerned about gyroscopic/dynamic stability.(yes, the calculators show them as being stable) While every barrel is...

    CTR Thread Concentricity

    I’ve got a Surge I’ll be putting on something new. I like the CTR. Nice SDs lol. I just didn’t want to buy something only to send it off to have the threads trued or recut. It’s a 30 cal can on a 6.5 or maybe a 260 now? Either way it’ll clear the baffles. I think the POI change may be better...

    CTR Thread Concentricity

    Good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone who has used a suppressor on a Tikka can comment on thread concentricity to the bore?

    Gunsmithing Viper barrel vise or bench vise with inserts??

    Man that’s nice! Are those 2” diameter bushings? I wonder if they’re sold separately from the vice? Awesome piece of equipment.

    Suppressors Suppressor cover fitment

    Good evening, I’m going to have a suppressor cover made. I’ll be using it on different rifles. Should I have the cover made to leave the lock ring exposed or should the cover cover the entire suppressor?
