    Are these threads cut properly?

    As someone that threads hundreds, if not thousands, of barrels a year on a CNC lathe, that looks completely normal. Personally I think not using a thread relief is better than having one for the simple reason of the washers not floating around on the smaller diameter of the relief. On the...

    Lets see your 6 ARC build

    Centurion sandcutter carrier, JP bolt I'll preface by saying a 556 RC3 is definitely not meant to fit a 6mm projectile, but after some very thorough alignment checks and making a custom muzzle device, I got it to work. It had very little back pressure which is nice. The bottom side of the rail...

    Lets see your 6 ARC build

    One of my personal 6 arc builds. 12" barrel I spun up myself, LMT Specwar upper, shorty PDW stock. Have since switched to an RC3 suppressor. Managed to get some hits at 1,000 yards over the weekend.

    AR10 Accuracy ?

    I have a factory 14.5” barrel. There aren’t many in circulation, but I managed to snag one when they first came out.

    Odd ball scope base help

    Thanks for the advice. I did plan to pin the scope bases since the Murphy bases already have a provision for that. I was thinking about using a West Texas switch lug too. I wanted to get all the machine work done before I send out the receivers to get nitrided.

    Odd ball scope base help

    That was the ticket. Defiance did get back to me and confirm that the anTI bases would work and they also suggested Murphy's While a bit spendy for the titanium option, this version will work for the short action I have...

    MK12 collar/brake and suppressor on different barrels?

    Little late to the party, but she was correct, it’s not difficult to do at all. Literally one extra step to cut a flat on the threads, so we are pretty unphased by this.

    Good AR308 smith recommendation

    I appreciate the referral, but this isn’t something I want to mess with. As a previous poster mentioned, replacing the extension itself isn’t an issue, it’s getting the alignment with the gas port and headspace to both check out when you do it is the issue.

    Odd ball scope base help

    That's what I was thinking as well. I did reach out to Defiance to see if they could provide the bolt hole spacing on theirs as it appears to at least look similar to a Rem 700

    Odd ball scope base help

    Fair, I guess one can never assume that people actually run the trap line a bit before posting. I do basically work for LMT, so I did check with LMT engineering prior to posting. Unfortunately these receivers are old enough that the paper prints were from a time long before many of them worked...

    Odd ball scope base help

    Lol, do you think I didn't try that already? These were made prior to most of their engineering staff working there.

    Odd ball scope base help

    I came into some 700 pattern receivers made by Lewis Machine and Tool (LMT Defense) years ago when they were still in Illinois. I am not quite sure what scope base will work since it differs from a Remington 700 receiver in that it's fully round. Does anyone know of a scope base like this...
