    Need IDEAS for semi-auto LONG DISTANCE Shootout.

    Re: Need IDEAS for semi-auto LONG DISTANCE Shootout. I can get to 1200m at local ranges... I think 600yds would be cool, but I can understand the issue it may be for others. Admittedly after 800m I need to swap my 1.1-8x CQBSS if I'm shooting something than E type steel. I'm cool with...

    Federal Gold Metal Match Brass Q

    Re: Federal Gold Metal Match Brass Q Federal brass has gotten much harder. Several years ago I would not even run the commercial ammo in a gas gun. Frankly I don't run much more than 4 reloads of any type of brass. The Federal 7.62mm marked stuff is used in the Mk316 Mod0 (AB39) and the...

    Bent firing pin retaining pin

    Re: Bent firing pin retaining pin I'm not sure how on earth ammo could affect it. Frankly the firing pin should bottom out on the tail of the bolt regardless of primer. Is it bent in or bend backwards? The only other way I see them getting bent is if someone re-installs the bolt carrier...

    Experienced feedback on 10.5 ar barrels

    Re: Experienced feedback on 10.5 ar barrels It was older M193 - that literally was years ago, and many different jobs in the past. Most of the stuff was done with 77gr HSM and C77 (Canadian SS109) 62.9gr ball. The issue your facing is the projectile - not the quality of the load. 55gr FMJ...

    Re: blackwater sniper Someone please for the love of god delete this thread. Contracting is not what it was. Salaries have dropped, as has the experience of the folks in general. It used to be for some contracts 10 years of SOF time, then 5 years, then was saw a SOF guy in theatre, then...

    Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT! 1.0156 AVG (size edited - thanks Elf, seems I can't add or shoot) 1) 0.798 2) 0.987 3) 0.559 4) 1.098 5) 1.134 6) 1.518 (I pulled it low - totally on me, I knew as soon as I broke the round). KAC SR-25 ECC 16" 1:11 twist Chrome...

    Experienced feedback on 10.5 ar barrels

    Re: Experienced feedback on 10.5 ar barrels 55gr ammo is not exactly match. If your looking to tighten up the groups with lighter weight ammo, then a match lighter round will be a better option. Try a 52gr OTM load if you reload. A 1:7 barrel is not (despite repeated internet hyperbole)...

    Bent firing pin retaining pin

    Re: Bent firing pin retaining pin One thing that can happen on SR-25's is it is possible to put the firing pin in not fully seated and the firing pin retaining pin can go home, retaining the firing pin in a non-firing position. When the hammer falls in this setting, the firing pin thumps...

    Knights SR-15 LPR (light precision rifle)

    Re: Knights SR-15 LPR (light precision rifle) MSRP is $2,457.50. They are back ordered, I think we shipped 75 last month, so I'm surprised they are going for less, but I guess many dealers are trying to move guns than make nice stack on the wall... The handstop is the 4" Hanstop Panel...

    Knights SR-15 LPR (light precision rifle)

    Re: Knights SR-15 LPR (light precision rifle) FYI We have noticed that they really seem to like Federal 77gr stuff. I bought a ton of different ammo to try with them, and the best commercially available ammo we found was the Federal. Admittedly I'm not a big 18" 5.56mm fan, and for the OP...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK6 3-18x44...anyone have one yet?

    Re: Leupold MK6 3-18x44...anyone have one yet? Tremor reticle is same price as the H-58. Its a great scope - but the TMR reticle is ass, get the H58 or Horus, and as much as I like and respect Jim Smith, I'm not a fan of the CMR-W reticle - especially in the 3-18x, I can live with it in the...

    LMT MWS problem

    Re: LMT MWS probelm I have about 80K rounds thru SR-25's, maybe more. I see folks who claim that the gun will do it, but never ever been able to replicate it, even with their guns. I've drop rounds on my first shot, I've seen guns that get hot and get shift issues, I've seen guns flat out...

    LMT MWS problem

    Re: LMT MWS probelm Its typical on 762 AR's, however its 99.9% attributed to the shooter. CanSniper mentioned it above here - Sinister Dave and others mentioned it in the AR-10 thread. Errors you make that do not affect a bolt gun, can really affect a gasser.

    What lube is everyone using

    Re: What lube is everyone using Over the past 25 years of shooting I've tried a lot of lubes. CLP, Militec, Rem Oil, Bearing Grease, TW-25B, Slip2000, MP-7 etc. etc etc. If your not using your gun hard, pretty much anything will work. However dirty hot guns like good lubes. For about 4...

    AR-10 Accuracy Expectations??

    Re: AR-10 Accuracy Expectations?? Gas Guns due to the ergonomic design are not as easy to shoot as bolt guns. Sloppy techniques that do not get noticed in a bolt gun, will toss rounds with a gas gun. Sinister Dave pointed out at lot of good advice for driving a gasser. I think a lot of...

    SR25 upgrades

    Re: SR25 upgrades Rebarreling may be an option -- but honestly if your looking to go with that caliber - it may be the best (and most economical) route to sell your SR for the GAP.
