    AR10 firing pin issues

    Not that I remember but there may have been one or two. Fire upon second try every time.

    AR10 firing pin issues

    I put together a mostly Aero gun with a BA barrel and Aero bolt, Aero upper/lower. Getting light primer strikes every once in awhile, 3-5 out of 100 and then after a couple hundred rounds 1 or 2 per 25 round mag. I bought a cmmg firing pin (darker colored pin pictured) which is a touch longer...

    How does it shoot?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I have a MDT mag in Manners T6a. The first one runs perfectly, ordered a second brand new MDT. Nothing but problems, had to get a new follower, still didn't feed right. Gave up for now, got tired of messing with it. Although my Tikka has a Bartlien on it, not sure if the breech face is any...

    White oak armament accuracy

    I would imagine there is a pretty large difference between the Bartlien tier barrels and the Wilsons.

    ATACR 4-16x42 - Usable hold distance with MIL XT reticle w/ 100 yard zero and 5.56 rifle (and mount concerns)

    You're not going to do very well past 7-800 with 77s out of a gas gun so I would prefer a flat base. Most scope would still allow you to dial close to what you need for 1,000 if you want but shooting an 18" gas gun with 77s at 1k sucks.

    Older leupold question

    What would a 2018 MK4 with TMR and tall .1 mil, 5 mil per rotation turrets, non illuminated in FFP be worth used?

    Older leupold question

    This is more what I was referring to. The Variax with the M5 looking turrets and mil reticle. I have seen Mk4s with TMRs as well. There seem to be many variations of both scopes just trying to figure out what's what when looking to buy one. I want a 3.5x10x40 with TMR and mil turrets for a semi...

    What are the differences between a varixiii 3.5x10x40 and a MK4 3.5x10x40?

    AI LE question

    The USSS guys photographed at the Trump rally had 700s in ATs. Also NF 7x35s so Imagine they could choose whatever they want. I have seen AXs as well.

    .223 - 5.56

    I would also add if you can get the 75gr eld to shoot use that over any 80. Getting that bullet going fast is pretty sweet.

    AI LE question

    Why does the AT chassis seem to be the most popular among LE, with even the SS using custom Remington in a AT? Is it a cost thing or something functional? I may be missing something and am not really a AI expert so be gentle.

    .223 - 5.56

    Sorry definitely not a wylde shouldve clarified. Think it's .169 freebore.

    .223 - 5.56

    I have shot a lot of 85.5s. 2900 will be the ragged edge of pressure with Varget, 2850 is realistic with 26+" barrel. Make sure you throat the chamber long enough to get the boat tail above the neck shoulder junction. A chamber for 90gr bullets should be fine. It's a fine bullet and you can...

    Many Thanks on a Devastating Day

    Much love Frank. She did something right. Sorry for your loss.

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    My thought is 322 is extreme extruded series and would be more temp stable than 335. Probably not a ton of luck finding it though. I may look at benchmark or N133/N135.

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    Yeah seems slow. So this means a faster burning powder is needed? Anyone have experience with H322?

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    What is a good velocity to aim for with a 62gr fmj in a wylde chamber, 16"? Would that speed be reachable with AR Comp? Trying to come up with a blaster load but will still do some load dev to see if I can shrink groups at all.
