    Geissele 6 ARC in service with SOCCOM, some hands on comments.

    When my buddy was working at Surefire they built a rig to test 5.56 bolts. They had varying results of "milspec" bolts lasting from 12-25k, some longer. They tried several bolts on the market made of 9310 or other materials trying to find the "best" for something they were working on. Not many...

    California Gun Registration and Liability Insurance

    CA is a failed state. I've been saving money to make my escape from this place. It's not going to get any better.

    Gunsmithing Stuck scope base screw

    With a Torx there are times where you may be able to pound the next size larger Torx bit into it. Use some heat to heat the screw and the threadlock should return to a liquid state and spin it out.

    Cantilever scope mounts.

    Reptilia and Badger Ordnance both make mounts with different ring cap mounting options, as well as other mounting options on the mount. There are companies like Parker Mountain Machine also making replacement caps to mount other optics. I think Primary Arms is making a mount and ring cap that...

    BCM MCMR handguard and 6arc proof carbon barrel compatibility

    I'm running a 20" Proof carbon under the 15" MCMR with an Aero adjustable block. You may need to take some material off the threads on MLOK attachments depending on where it is on the handguard/barrel.

    $50.00 an hour minimum wage ......what could go wrong?

    The local Taco Bell to me is now using AI for the drive through ordering. It's super annoying, but it seems to be very accurate. At the window is some moron that can barely read that just hands you the food and takes payment. Long gone are the days of high school kids working jobs like fast food.

    Zco lpvo???

    I was told there were a couple of reasons some of the vendors were not at SHOT. Part of it was they had booths built based on the previous layout of the show. The layout changed and now the booth size and space was altered, so the millions they spent on the booth that would not fit. Instead of...

    Need some troubleshooting help: Bad Gas Block or Out of Spec Bolt Catch

    Carbon around the gas block is a sign of leakage but can be "normal" and typically will seal up after some rounds. If the BCG isn't efficient it can cause some issues since you aren't getting a good gas seal there since the bolt and carrier function like a piston. I would try and measure the...

    Going Away from 6 ARC Suppressed?

    The rifle and barrel that was developed with the 6 ARC ammunition was made with a rifle +1 gas system for an 18" Proof barrel. Why you would want to go shorter gas system when they spent all the time and money for development?

    Gunsmithing Aluminum to steel bonding?

    As far as I know you cannot tig weld aluminum to steel, or weld any ferrous to non ferrous metals. I could be wrong but I have never seen it done or heard about it before. I know there are some different solders out there that may allow you to solder different materials to each other. The bond...

    New 7.62x39 akm47

    The case dents are pretty common for the platform. The Finns used to have a clip on deflector but they are impossible to find now. I have toyed with the idea of trying to slit some rubber vacuum line and stick it on the dust cover to see if that would work. I just haven't gotten around to doing...

    Need some troubleshooting help: Bad Gas Block or Out of Spec Bolt Catch

    I haven't had issues with the gas tube roll pins or the hole for the pins. I was talking about the actual internal diameter of the gas block for the barrel journal. So the barrel has a .750 journal and the block might be .753+ I had one that I measured .756 on the block and the barrel was .749.

    Need some troubleshooting help: Bad Gas Block or Out of Spec Bolt Catch

    I run the Aero adjustable on mine. No issues for me. I was surprised that it fit fairly tight to my barrel. It seems they tend to run a little on the larger end of internal diameter. That means a poor gas seal in most cases and could be the cause of some problems.

    New to AK47s and want to learn

    His GF5 seems good in the mag fitment. My other friend with the KUSA has good mag fitment too. The issue with the KUSA was all mags were hard to push in to the lock point. The catch was a little long. I did the file and test fit until all the mags styles I own locked in correctly. Now it works...

    New to AK47s and want to learn

    One of my friends has a KUSA and it's been good to go so far. The only issue it had out of the box was mag fitment. The mag catch needed a little file work and it solved that problem. It feels like it is gassed correctly. I did a little action and trigger work to make it somewhat smoother...

    Need some troubleshooting help: Bad Gas Block or Out of Spec Bolt Catch

    I was asking to ensure the bolt catch was functioning correctly. A weak spring under the catch could contribute to that issue. I would assume the rifle is short stroking. I run the A5 on my 6 ARC with a 20" Proof and same VLTOR upper. I ran is prior with an A2 and rifle buffer. It locks back...
