    Burris Customer Services at its worst, please help/advise. (UPDATE: 09DEC23)

    Damn! That dude would be fired on the spot for treating a customer that way. We’re not talking about some 500$ scopes here. Two xtr pros are a significant investment. They are the flagship of the company, I’d think they’d be immaculate after being sent back for cleaning, then to just blatantly...

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    I agree with you on your theory. I’d say if someone has doubts, just go to harbor freight and pick up a cheap heat gun. I don’t think anyone could do any damage with a heat gun. With a torch I put maybe 10-15 seconds with the torch. Not long at all, it’s pretty thin aluminum it’s doesn’t take...

    Good question, I doubt it, but not sure. Maybe someone can chime in that’s done it with other colors.

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    Yes, the more I have wrapped the better I feel. The 620 will fill all the little gaps that’s left. I have used a heat gun and a torch. It doesn’t take much heat, a hairdryer might work, but not sure. With a torch I don’t spend much time in one spot, and I don’t put the flame tip on the upper.

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    This is what mine looks like when I do the whole procedure. I order stainless shim stock in various thickness and I start something like a .002” shim and lube it up with 620 loctite and try it with heating the upper, if it slides in without crinkling the shim I set it and tighten the barrel nut...

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    Like others have stated, I’ve never seen it hurt a rifle’s performance. It’s a relatively cheap process too.

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    As a matter of fact, the one sloppy prefit is a McGowen. It’s been about five years since it’s been installed and it throws a flier. It’ll stack 3-4 shots in the same hole and boom 5th shot an inch away. Edit. Scratch that it was a mcrees precision barrel. I mixed those two companies up, my...

    Rifle Scopes $700 scope comparison

    Unfortunately compromises have to be made with variable scopes. They seldom do everything perfectly. There’s usually a spot where scopes perform really well and a spot they perform ok. When you get into the 5 and 6 times mag ranges things get kinda wonky in the upper and lower powers. I think...

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    This thread has me wondering if 620 loctite would help sloppy fitting remage threads.

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    I I agree, anodizing can be considered a bearing surface and could make the extension shift easier because of the slicker surface, by removing it from the face it gives a nice flat surface of raw material that should be a little more grippy. After doing so, i always use brake cleaner to...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    What I’ve found with Arken the last few years. Tubes are weak, any more than 15 in lbs and things get squeezed and the parallax doesn’t feel right. Arken even revised their torque specs accordingly I’m hearing. Turrets are clunky and feel cheap. I have had several of them and no two arkens...

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    I agree, and if you have a rifle that spits good groups with a semi cold barrel but starts throwing fliers as it heats up, then it would probably benefit from truing the face and shimming/bedding.

    I like that idea, what glue do you use?

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    Yes, I lap it while I got it apart.

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    They basically made a case for shimming by mentioning the manufacturers that use an interference fit. I do both, i shim and use green loctite as a sorta lube to help the shimmed extension go into the upper. I’ve personally seen fliers disappear by doing so.

    PIC HEAVY: SEEKINS SP10 6.5CM PART 2 - BORESCOPE PICS! Vs Larue Vs Wilson (Experience In Progress, It is NOT A COMPLETE REVIEW)

    That was my first guess, someone liked the case, or… it’s a used rifle that was returned and the original purchaser returned it without the case and the vender didn’t notice or just didn’t want to argue about it and just took it back.

    Not name calling, I just talk like that with people being whiny about trivial stuff. Nothing personal it’s just a description I use. Good luck with your Snipershide quest to trash Seekins without hearing from them first.

    PIC HEAVY: SEEKINS SP10 6.5CM PART 2 - BORESCOPE PICS! Vs Larue Vs Wilson (Experience In Progress, It is NOT A COMPLETE REVIEW)

    Someone liked the case at the vendor and swapped it out. As you can see, no one cares that your pussy hurts over that case. Lol Not bashing you, just stating the obvious. You’re going to get nowhere here with that gripe. As far as the other stuff, you really need to shoot it, and I don’t mean...

    I sold it to someone who was very happy with it and went back to Athlon.
