    Dedicated 22lr bbl recommendations for CMMG conversion kit?

    Sounds like you're really burning up some ammo. Are you shooting all this up with a Borebuddy Barrel? How are you liking the 1:12 twist rate?

    Dedicated 22lr bbl recommendations for CMMG conversion kit?

    IMO it looks a little goofy when the barrel is about the same length as the handguard. I'd opt for the longer barrel. How much smaller is the SPR profile than 0.920" Why not just go 18" x 0.920" the whole way...maybe fluted if you wanted to save an ounce or two. I love those Aero Enhanced...

    Dedicated 22lr bbl recommendations for CMMG conversion kit?

    I like Federal Auto Match. For the most part it works well. I've noticed that even if it's a Bentz chamber, each barrel is different and what runs fine in one, may not cycle in another. I've never bought any of the bulk winchester or remington stuff. The bulk pack Federal Target has given me...

    Dedicated 22lr bbl recommendations for CMMG conversion kit?

    I looked at the X-Caliber website and they make dedicated barrels but you have to use the chamber adapter. I'm not a fan of that. The chamber adapter is the .223 cartridge shaped adapter in lieu of a round collar that fits over the chamber spud of a dedicated barrel. With the chamber adapter...

    Dedicated 22lr bbl recommendations for CMMG conversion kit?

    I'm not sure if he responds to emails. He may but I think most folks have been able to talk to him. I have not. I have never ordered one from him mainly because I have so many AR22 uppers already. Occasionally I see a used Beyer barrel pop up on the classifieds and I have to restrain myself...

    Dedicated 22lr bbl recommendations for CMMG conversion kit?

    I would think just as well as any other...maybe even better as the aluminum will dissipate heat quicker. He uses a SST 22LR liner shrouded in aluminum tubing with a 0.920" diam. So you get a bull barrel profile with significantly less weight. Very similar to many 10/22 barrel makers out there...

    I see you mentioned lightweight. Beyer Barrels in Oregon will make a custom length for you. His are the lightweight aluminum barrels with a sst 22LR liner. Many reports of excellent accuracy from his barrels.

    Goodbye Tucker Carlson

    I generally click on the "New Posts" and that one actually caught my eye because it was the first I'd heard of it. I don't trust anything from MSNBC so I did my own search and found the link directly from Fox News that I posted. I'm still not sure what a Glowie is but I've been visiting the...

    Goodbye Tucker Carlson

    Are you taking exception to the link I posted or to the fact that, unlike you I have a life outside of commenting on forums?

    Goodbye Tucker Carlson

    The MSNBC article is loaded with speculation and mis-truths. Here's a simple statement from FoxNews on the matter. https://www.foxnews.com/media/fox-news-media-tucker-carlson-part-ways

    Dedicated rifle to shoot CCI quiets (710fps) CZ457 American or Varmint MTR?

    I've shot Colibri out of a 24" barrel. 1 out of 10 didn't make it out. But to the OP's question, I purchased a CZ457 American Synthetic and put a 16" Whitlepig barrel on it. Shooting the quiets suppressed in the back yard is how I get through the week sometimes. The quiets shot well with the...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    Is the breech end of the barrel aluminum too? I would think it wouldn't take much abuse to start deforming that end of the barrel. Maybe a cap of some sort to capture the aluminum but give the collar something harder to beat agains.

    That’s amazing!

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    Holy Mackerel that thing's a pig! You machined that one to take the CMMG collar correct? What blank is that? On another note, I was able to procure a couple of those sleeves from Chiappa. I have a tactical solutions upper and the bolt face of the TS bolt lines up pretty dang well to the...

    Suggestions needed for: Peep Sights for Ruger Precision Rimfire

    That solution offered in the RFC thread seems to be a simple, effective, and inexpensive at that. I don't have a Ruger PR but I see it has a picatinny rail on the receiver. Is it intended to mimic the sight height of the AR platform? I only mention this because the NECG sight might be a...

    SOLD WTS: Arken SH-4 GenII 6-24x50

    Is this a 34mm tube? Would you entertain handloads in trade? I have 100ea -142gr Sierra Game King that I loaded for a friend and he never claimed them.

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    ....so back to the OP. It seems that Exscooze has the answer. You guys should link up. I know those Anschutz blanks are still available...or any other black of your choosing.

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    I do have a chronograph. I'll have to break it out and see. I debated on whether or not to go this short with the barrel, but I've got the 18" and several 16" uppers already. I know that a member here, padom, had a KA 12" barrel that shot great. His experience and a quick reference here...
