    White Oak barrels vs Faxon MATCH & Criterion

    White Oak barrels vs Faxon MATCH & Criterion

    Great - Sub 1.0 MOA (5x5 round group average) this level of consistency normally requires a AR that’s purpose built from the ground up with something like a Krieger barreled upper and legitimate match grade ammo (think FGMM) and don’t forget a shooter with their salt. Decent - 1.0 to 1.3 MOA...

    White Oak barrels vs Faxon MATCH & Criterion

    ^Exactly this. I’ve seen a lot of different AR barrels over the year teaching and I cant even begin to say how many times I’ve seen this trend play out. Guy’s, a good barrel takes effort and time to make, you’re going to pay. If you’re buying cheap all you are doing is playing odds. Also IMI...

    DMR SPR Optic

    ACTAR 4-16x42 Tremor 3 Kahles 3-18x50 SKMR3 Mk5 3.6-18x Tremor 3 Are all great reasonable options for SPR work, pair anyone of those with a decent MRDS and you’ll be off to the races.

    AR muzzle device for NRA matches

    Well maybe ask to shoot the match but not for record. I’ve done this before, sometimes match directors are open to that but sometimes the high power guys can be goofy. Start by asking first.

    AR muzzle device for NRA matches

    Well you got about a gazillion options but a standard A2 works perfectly fine and would literally run you a few dollars.

    Honest Opinion on home defense rifle

    Yeah there’s wide range of frangible, with the exception of Mk255 and some specific scenarios (VBSS) I’d be hesitant to rely on frangible munitions.

    Honest Opinion on home defense rifle

    Ok so for your benefit and the benefit of others I’ll try to hit the wave tops of shotgun projectiles vs. high velocity rifle projectiles in context to close combat engagements like home defense. Quick background, I am not a SME on terminal ballistics in the sense that I wear a lab coat, I am...

    is there such a thing as a FFP LVPO where the turrets dial like a PRS scope?

    Leupold CQBSS with M-TMR for the win

    Best home defense is no suppressor? / zero distance

    Failure to add the CORRECT things lead the situation becoming more complicated. …also you understand something like Peltors in no way impede your sense of directional sound or reduce you ability to identify and recognize friends. These are literally the definition of mission enhancing. It’s...

    Honest Opinion on home defense rifle

    By your logic .50 BMG is a superior cartridge for CQC/HD but we all know how dumb that sounds.

    Honest Opinion on home defense rifle

    Yes when it comes to common building materials for your standard American home (stick and frame) pistol and shotgun projectiles have a proven and repeatable reputation for penetrating farther than most 5.56 of your typical variety by a fare margin. It baffles me that this still isn’t common...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith for SMLE Project

    So as not a sniper, you’re going to get butt hurt about me pointing out that your understanding of sniper tactics is notional? You seemed quite confident earlier in declaring the actual sniper in question was not even such, when he clearly is and it’s entirely possible he has shot more Nazis in...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith for SMLE Project

    🙄 You do a lot of sniping or do you just parrot things you read on the internet? To the OP, super excited to see how this project turns out. I’ve alway had a soft spot for the SMLE.

    Recommendations to cut and thread Scar 17 barrel

    Parker Mountain Machine does phenomenal SCAR work, they did the work on our Mk20 cutting down to 16” from 20”, shoots better that the original. Highly recommend them for anything SCAR.

    M1A SOCOM 16.....what are you using for a bore guide when cleaning ?

    You could always just not clean the bore 😉 I haven’t cleaned a rifle bore other than a quick swipe from a bore snake (kinda nice to if it’s gets a little wet/dusty) since 2013. I am not even sure I own a clean rod anymore! Just keep the action clean and lubricated, and only clean the bore if...

    Barrett MRAD VS Berrett MK22 Accuracy

    Having shot both, I can confidently say 98% of shooters would not be able to shoot the difference between the two. Any variation would like come down to individual rifle performance.

    Barret ring cross bolt torque question.

    Yeah that torque is adequate for a .50 cal. I’ve found it best to simply torque to spec then witness mark with a paint pen so you can double check easily.

    Ammo POI Shift (Didn't think it would be that much)

    POI shifts has mostly to do with barrel harmonics. Some barrels like yours are going to be sensitive due to barrel profiles/materials. I’ve found Proof CF AR barrels to be finicky and inconsistent in this manner but steel barrels tend to follow the general rule that the heavier the profile the...

    Best home defense is no suppressor? / zero distance

    Lol, you’re not wrong but sometimes I have Sunday mornings off and am tempted by the idea of resurrecting the ideals of American Rifleman into some beyond…what ever the fuck this is. I usually come to my senses around lunch time. 😅 But I think there are good men to be found yet in this world...
