    Secret Service Eyes New 6.5mm Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle (RFI)

    16.75". I was squeamish on cutting the 20" down. No cans because IL sucks and this was a personal toy. By the time I have enough glass and a decent stock (would probably do a PRS lite if it were today), 18-18.5" would've been just fine I didn't keep it long. Though in the spirit of this...

    Reloading Equipment 384 pc. Lapua 308 LP brass from Lapua ammo (once fired only) - $265 shipped

    384 pieces of once-fired Lapua 308 large primer brass (all out of the same AIAX) that was from Factory Lapua ammo. Again, once-fired and never reloaded. $265 shipped conus for all 384 pieces. (Or will do $0.72 per round with minimum of 100pc, $10 shipped per 100) Shot from THIS barrel...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Anyone own a Korth?

    There was some really good vids from “life size potato” I think (dude is heavy into shooting euro stuff) on how the Korth and the manurhin kick the shit out of American guns and would last 5-10x longer in service when I went down this rabbit hole. Now with newer imports I have no idea if this...

    PWS diablo 7.62X39 7.5" barrel accuracy problem

    Fair question. I wouldn’t be shocked if some of it was flinch as these never got suppressors. They were sent back for 12.5s with cans…. Which seem to be normal.

    PWS diablo 7.62X39 7.5" barrel accuracy problem

    One of our neighboring agencies bought a whole slew of PWS's and about 6-8 were 8.5"? shorty 5.56's and they were horrid. With 55gr fmj training ammo, they'd struggle to make 6MOA. And without suppressors, they were obnoxious as hell (could be a factor). OP, 7.5" 7.62x39 shooting...

    LPVO with FSB

    Not apples to apples, but given it's a what...1.5-2" difference, I noticed a difference in going from 11.5-12.5" rails and having things mounted on top (switches, folding BUIS's) and then going to 13.5/13.75" rails and having more things creeping into FOV at lower powers even though the height...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    And you wonder why no one has listened in the last 15 years. The next 15 won't be any better. Always kind of wonder why LFer bounced your ass, Steve...it's becoming clear

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    And then you proceed with 2 posts of bullshit and dance around my direct question... What do you think is the "proper" port size for a 14.5" middy?
  11. D

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    And just so we're clear....the gas port size for what YOU deem as "proper" for a 14.5" middy is what?

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    Gonna take a wild guess you were one of those losing their shit over 14.5" middy's on M4C (or arfcom) back in the day.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    Gassing is more of a concern in relation to the affects on the operating system and the longevity of the gun. Nope, I don't care if it can cycle some bullshit Tula. Cycle anemic .223 match ammo with good ejection when dirty...GTG. Drive on Yes, I believe you've been saying the same shit for...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    Makes sense of you to say a Hodge is under-gassed if you're a Noveske fan. Even without a can, they (Noveske) are overgassed even running A5H2/Green springco. I think I've run through about 8 Hodge barrels now. 5 have been stellar shooters, 1 had the heat issues, 1 had some finishing/bore...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    The only FN's I can get to run that well are the Hodges. Personally, I don't believe any of the "special" sauce bullshit Hodge, Noveske or anyone else claims... I've had a Hodge turd barrel before. I just shoot them and see what's what. Ya don't know till you try. A barrel is its own...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    99% certain YOU have bought a Noveske barrel off of me in the exchange in the past. Went back and edited but here it is again: Good CHF's would include HK 416's, and some of the better FN and DD offerings. I've posted pics before. I'll happily take a 1-1.25 MOA CHF over a 0.75-0.8 Noveske all...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    You have at least 1 of my cast-offs actually. I've had 4x Noveske's. 18, 16, 14.5 and a CHF 16". Or it might be 5 in that I doubled down and got a 2nd 16" stainless... Also had 2x of Joel's 16" V7 barrels 4x different Centurion stainless (2x 18" mk12, a 16" recce on a Bartlein, and a 14"...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I have no doubt that Noveske barrels were instrumental to getting people to believe a decently accurate fighting rifle could be had in the AR15. But beating a soft-as-butter "match" stainless with a hardness in the 20's and tight as fuck chamber isn't all that impressive... Doing it with a...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I miss a lot given how lengthy my ignore list is and any posts that get replied to. That and I never count the Hide out to be be out of the loop on anything that isn’t one of its few token niche disciplines.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    A while back, I posted about a CHF barrel I had that would hold .8-1MOA even from my meager hands for about 12 rounds. From there on out, it would grow about 1MOA for each 5-7 rounds fired (not rapidly either). When doing a 6x5, I'd be lucky to keep the last 5 of a 30-round mag in a 5" circle...
