    Known issues with Knights SR-25 EMC?

    Re: Known issues with Knights SR-25 EMC? When running a can at a high firing schedule the bolt catch should be replaced about 8k. SOPMOD stock is not condusive to prone shooting, and is best replaced with the Magpul ACS stock *(you can often sell the SOPMOD to break even on the ACS). We...

    Is the PSG1 worth the effort to find or clone?

    Re: Is the PSG1 worth the effort to find or clone? Hk uses a very high grade steel (the top of the three Milspec type barrel steels) for their CHF barrels. Outstanding life from them. Poly rifling also wears slower than typical rifling cuts and often offers velocity gains, and is reportedly...

    Is the PSG1 worth the effort to find or clone?

    Re: Is the PSG1 worth the effort to find or clone? Most Tier1 units had PSG-1's in the early '90s However Hk was really proud of them and rebarreling was a literal fortune. IIRC it was around $8000 Hk wanted to rebarrel a gun, I think this was including the shipping to and fro HkO. IIRC...

    SR-25

    Re: SR-25 We just got the USMC REPR contract with the M110 SASS ealier this year, so I would say that its hard to argue with success... Military entities also test items unlike Toyota's commercial customers...

    SR-25

    Re: SR-25 FYI the rail will not fit on AR-10's Armalite has a different thread pitch on the upper recevier extension so you cannot thread SR-25 or M110 pieces on to it.

    How short of .223 AR barrel will work reliably.

    Re: How short of .223 AR barrel will work reliably. You can do pretty much anything you want. 4" M2 Corp upper. 4" Prototype Colt Canada (then Diemaco) upper (note shortened buffer tube). The gas tube was just cut and wleded into a cutup gas block - the gas port was BIG (IIRC .125")

    Looking to buy a 7.62 CQB platform

    Re: Looking to buy a 7.62 CQB platform For .308 the 155gr Hornady 8087C is a great round for terminal performance without major overpenetration issues. As well there is a new 155gr SOST coming down the pipe specifically for 16" 7.62mm guns. FYI the difference in the SR-25 EMC is not just a...

    mk11 w/14.5 inch barrel???

    Re: mk11 w/14.5 inch barrel??? We used to sell the Battle Rifle and "MK11 Carbine" with 14.5" barrels to government folks. We then went to the 16" barrelled Battle Rifle's due to performance issues with the 14.5", and then to the M110 Carbine/SR-25EMC which has a 16" barrel, but is a WAY...

    Slings used on M4 rifles in Iraq / Afghanistan?

    Re: Slings used on M4 rifles in Iraq / Afghanistan? FYI I think Kyle had his lsing to market before LAV. Kyle's first sling left with me a little disappointed due to the loose tail when you cinched it in, he changed it, but I vastly prefer Larry's and also since I consider him a friend...

    Slings used on M4 rifles in Iraq / Afghanistan?

    Re: Slings used on M4 rifles in Iraq / Afghanistan? The only use for a single point I see is really Mk18 sized guns unsuppressed, even then I am not a big fan, I tried them and found while they worked for a bunch of things, they sadly failed in other requirements (casualty carry, prisoner...

    Knights Armament MK 11 Mod 0?

    Re: Knights Armament MK 11 Mod 0? The SR-25 EMC is the best gun we built, it was designed for the government market and a requirement to fire high volume suppressed without cleaning over a substantial period. That said for non government customers its an expensive gun.

    Question for special forces(and anyone else who ca

    Looking for something new that can change Calibers

    Re: Looking for something new that can change Calibers In a bolt gun you have the Remington MSR (not sure if there is a 5.56mm version, but they do offer a .308, .300WM, and .338LM kit system). COBB had a Modular system that was supposed to be 5.56mm to .338LM in a semi auto, but I've yet...

    Any experience with the Sig 516 gas piston

    Re: Any experience with the Sig 516 gas piston I got to shoot one at IACP in Orlando,(only us and Sig put on demos at the Orlando Police Range and we let them shoot our stuff and we shot theirs). Very similar to a Hk416, which I guess is cause the designer who did the 416 is now working for...
