    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    That is cool! I actually sent one blank to Keystone Accuracy. I'm anxiously awaiting that one to show up. He's machining it to accept the CMMG bolt sans collar. I have another one of his that is an 18" Green Mountain barrel and it shoots great. The Anschutz blank is going to be 12" with a...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    Running a 24" match rifle profile (1" under the handguard and .850" gas block forward) is pretty common with AR setups. I would think that the way Exscooze has his set up being shorter would be even less stressful. I like it. I have two Tactical Solutions uppers. I really like them. If you...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    Did you turn it to accept the CMMG bolt/collar? Or did you do something similar to what Keystone does and machine the breech to accept the CMMG bolt w/out the collar. I have a couple of those Anschutz blanks from Numrich Gunparts. edit: I see you have the Chiappa Upper. Their bolt does not...

    AR-15 guys, please help

    The fact you had to "mortar" the gun to remove spent cases is is where I'd focus. Obviously matching the buffer with the correct buffer tube is important but I'm trying to understand your experience here. Is the spent case stuck? Or did the bolt lugs not disengage? Drop a resized piece of...

    Ammo: .22LR in dedicated AR-15

    I've had great luck with CCI SV in my CMMG upper builds...and one of them is a Keystone Accuracy barrel. I have the borebuddy anti-bounce weight. Sometimes I'll get a short stroke (not resetting the trigger) if I have that installed. No problems though without it. I've never shot the Norma...

    I only use the suppressor for backyard plinking.

    Best polarized sunglasses around $50?

    Midway has been having some legit sales on Oakley sunglasses. I bought a pair of Crankshaft for like $60. It's worth checking...I'm not sure if that sale is ongoing.

    Nice rifle, Ronnie! I have heard only good things about Beyer barrels. How's it shooting for you?

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    I'm probably gonna get flamed for this but I've never found the charging handle to be an issue with rimfire ARs so I've never used anything other than a standard charging handle. I've got a Midwest Industries reaction rod for my centerfire ARs that I like pretty well. That doesn't help with the...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    A bench vise would be helpful but I've seen some guys use a C-clamp and a couple pieces of wood to hold it to a workbench. I don't even measure the torque on rimfire barrels. Snug and then a little more is all I do. If you do have a bench vice, just use use a couple pieces of wood to protect...

    Entry Level AR

    My first was a Rock River Arms...no regrets. But I can tell you, a friend at work bought a S&W. We've been to range a few times now and every time his carbine fails. Fails to eject, fails to feed, fails to reset the trigger. It's painful to watch him struggle. I've put together many ARs...

    Looking at Facebook and Instagram, he's active at Shot-Show 2022.

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    I don't think anyone with either a Compass Lake or a Keystone regrets their purchase. I know I don't. I asked him for the HBAR Service Rifle profile in an 18" barrel though an it is pretty heavy. I think I would have preferred a profile more like that one Padom just got. I've had it out to...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    obx22 - are you giving up on rebarreling your tactical solutions? If you can get that sleeve off there, I bet any smith could duplicate the TS dimensions.

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    Oh hell! That was you that posted that picture. That's funny! I was wondering the other day if you'd had any success doing that. I actually purchased a couple of those Anschutz blanks from Numrich like I mentioned. My brother is capable of doing this project, he's just not able to do...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    Here are a few pictures of my barrel showing the sleeve. Sadly, I did not take any pictures when I had the sleeve off. I really like the Tac-Sol bolt. In my opinion it's a much improved version of the CMMG bolt. Nearly identical except the Tac-sol and CMMG are "clocked" just slightly...

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    I have two Tac-Sol uppers. One with the lightweight aluminum barrel with the steel (or sst) liner and one of the M4 profile steel barrels. I've never shot either of them for dead on accuracy but they do feed everything I've put in them. I disassembled the lightweight barrel once. The barrel...

    300 Blackout or 7.62X39?

    I have a 16" 300BO and a 16" 7.62x39. I reload for both and I currently find myself shooting the x39 more because I'm damn near out of small rifle primers and I'm not gonna pay "gouging" prices....yet. I have thousands of large rifle primers. I had parts available so all I had to buy was a...

    Why they didn't want to release the videos of the "violent insurrection"........

    THE NYT video does a good job of painting an ugly picture of the day's events. Lest we forget the NY Times also ran cover for Adolph Hitler in NAZI Germany's persecution of the Jewish people. They have traded their credibility for leftist indoctrination going back 100yrs.
