    M118 LR USMC vs Army

    Powder canisters I saw were similar in size to a 35 gallon drum but made of a heavy wall sort of cardboard material with ring clamp on top. MSDS label was from St Marks, listed as RL15. I can only guess they were authorized to manufacture RL15. This was at Lake City around 2010 or so, best I...

    300 Win Mag in 1:7 Twist Barrel

    I would venture to guess that optimum performance with that twist rate will only come from shooting solids. YMMV

    What is loaded in military 7.62 M118LR

    When I worked at LC as an outside contractor the powder was RL15 supplied by St Marks out of FL. This is what I read directly from the label of a canister of powder. Unfortunately I cannot provide a picture as we could not carry a camera or cell phone in that area. I have no firsthand...

    Suppressors Ordering a suppressor for someone else?

    No Sir. The Ignore feature lets you ignore a certain member. Thereby removing his/her post from your view so as to not having to read their comments.

    Suppressors Ordering a suppressor for someone else?

    So if I get a certificate for 100% off on a prize table firearm or suppressor then that supplier just made a straw purchase for me? Asking for a friend. And thanks SH for the ignore button, some people are better off not posting their opinion. To the OP, best regards. I am sure you will...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Manners would be my first choice. Inletting is no big deal for receiver and bottom metal. 1) Jeff @ Rivers Bend Gun Company 2) Moon @ Cresent Customs 3) GA Precision Any of these can accomplish that task Bottom metal I would run AICS compatible from PTG, but be aware of the consequences of...
