    SAKO TRG-42 factory trigger replacement

    Just grabbed mine. The pic without the ruler is in the cocked position one pic is with the ruler in the cocked position and one is in the fired position. There is some movement in the post fired state, maybe .125 inches but nothing near like the first stage in the cocked position. Hope this helps.

    LMT feed issues

    What mags are you using? From the picture of the cartridge it looks like they are oriented nose down in the mag.

    Will a Ruger American barrel fit a Tikka action?

    The threads are the same pitch and diameter but tenon lengths are likely different. The Ruger barrel might be okay on a tikka due to the barrel nut and having a variable shoulder.

    It has been great for me! I started using it when Varget was nowhere to be found and I’m not going back.

    AI .308

    I’m my AT im running the 168 sierra tmk with an oal of 2.915, cbto is 2.235. I’m my chamber this puts me .030 off the lands. Shoots very well. It also shoots the 175 mk equally well at the standard 2.81. I use 41.6 grains of ar comp in Norma brass with a br-2 primer for the 168 and 40.3 for the...

    308 Winchester AR Only

    Funny story. I was just out shooting this afternoon. Had some 125 Speer TNT’s loaded up with with 50 gr of CFE 223 in mixed year nato brass with WLR primers. I had never shot that load on paper. It was just a cheap load for blasting. That same ACC shoots them into 1.375 5 shot groups. I thought...

    308 Winchester AR Only

    175 smk federal 1x brass CCI #34 44.8 gr staball match 2.80 OAL. 10 round string on the magneto speed gave me 2439 fps for an average. ES was 37, SD was 12.3. This was shot out of a SR 25 ACC 16 bbl. 5 shot groups were right at 1.25. That’s about as good as anything shoots in it.

    Talk to me about 358 Winchester

    I live in Iowa too and hopped on the .358 bandwagon. I’m really liking the Barnes 180 ttsx, my gun has a 22 inch tube and I’m able to get them into the 2750 fps range with H 335. I also played with the Hornady 200 ftx and Win 748, I’m able to get these to 2550 or so. Either one and it is a very...

    Which 6Arc barrel?

    Just got back from shooting today. Had an AR 15 out with a BA barrel on it nothing fancy, it has an 18 inch spr profile in 5.56. I had shot it a few times before today but never sat down to see what it could do. Groups at 100 yards looked more like shotgun patterns with imi 77 grainers. I know...

    For anyone wanting to know a urxll sr25 rail is not compatible with the new style gas system!

    SR25 barrel swap.

    I evaluated what was important to me and decided durability was paramount. The sr25 that I do own is an EC. I love the looks not so much the weight. It is an absolute hammer. I consistently get .875 moa with ten round strings at 100. Out to 700 it can't be beat for a 16 inch gas gun. I have...

    SR25 barrel swap.

    The barrel is complete with the gas system installed. I thought about doing it myself. On the fence still. I made the barrel nut wrench and have a reaction rod to hold the upper. My main concern was removing the gas block on the existing barrel. I have a press and could make a block to hold it...

    SR25 barrel swap.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to install an acc barrel onto an ec? I have not been able to find a good answer anywhere. My main concern would be the new style gas system interfering with the urx II rail. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
