    Electro Magnetic Rifle

    75 ft-lbs of energy. 200 FPS. Pretty anemic, but it’s cool to see them working on it.

    Rifle weight

    My match guns have always been in the 19# range. I thought I was happy with that till I shot a team match and had to shoot my partner's rifle. Not sure how much it weighs, but it was a lot heavier. Actually, I whiffed on it when I went to grab it the first time on the clock. The weight...

    Does the AR upper receiver matter?

    You can ask your barrel guy to fit a +0.001" barrel extension. It'll require heating the upper to get it together, but it eliminates all slop. I've done it a couple of times to duplicate JP's thermal fit, and it works perfectly.

    Anybody know what this is?

    Pretty sure it's mold release.

    Anyone have the Eberlestock G2 GUNSLINGER II

    Had one and sold it. It would be fine for toting a rifle and gear around for a few miles, but mine lacked structure and turned into a floppy mess over about 45#.

    Help with 224 Valkyrie AR accuracy issues

    I feel your pain. I built one with almost exactly the same barrel (mine is a 24") from Craddock. My problems were different from yours, but just as frustrating. I've resigned myself to shooting this barrel out in local matches and then switching to 6 ARC. If the suggestions above don't fix...

    224 Valkyrie gas port errosion

    My Valk looks a lot like that with 1,000 on it. It looked that after 300, though. I don't think you're going to be able to estimate round count with port erosion.

    Mid weight 6.5 bullets Lapua 120,123 136 or Berger?

    The 130 Scenars have been excellent for me. I don't shoot my .260 much anymore, but it really performs when I do break it out of the back of the safe.

    Gas blow back with TBAC Ultra 7 or 9 on a precision semi-auto?

    I must be the only one. I run an Ultra 5 on a couple .223's and a Valk. All run AGB's. The 14.5" .223 gasses me out pretty darn good.

    550 vs 750 accuracy loading

    I load all precision ammo on a 550. It's a beautiful thing. I trim dirty brass, clean it, anneal it, then straight to the 550. One trip through the press. Once I get to the press, I'm loading two rounds a minute. I also have a 750 and a 1050, and I wouldn't consider loading precision ammo...

    Buffer Weights?

    Increasing buffer or carrier weight have roughly the same effect. Increasing buffer weight might be slightly better for reliability because that mass actually bounces once when it drives the carrier home adding some hammer effect to bang it closed. I'm running a JP adjustable mass BCG in a...

    Vertical zero shifting with new AR15 build

    I've been struggling with a rifle with a very similar problem. I'd put a zero on it and then halfway through a match the zero would shift by like a lot. Not heat related. It's a Valk, Bartlein chambered by Craddock, Wilson upper and lower, blah, blah, blah. After screwing with it extensively...

    Best Reloading Room Contest

    Ha! I miss the old 40x Mafia. Buying a Voodoo is too easy. You should have to suffer with converting a rifle built in the 60s. 40x Crips is cool. I do love my Dillons.

    Need help putting together 22LR AR15

    Correct, my Compass Lake conversion wouldn't run. To be fair, it ran fine on the supersonic ammo it was probably designed for. Subsonic match ammo did not have enough energy to reliably cycle the action. I have a friend with one, and I swapped parts back and forth between them. His ran, mine...

    Need help putting together 22LR AR15

    I've been searching for exactly what you're after for about 4 years now. I started with a Nordic. Accuracy was OK and it was relatively reliable. On the advice of another hide member, I next tried a conversion from Compass Lake. Accuracy was eventually pretty darn good, but it was very...

    .224 Valkyrie Buffer & Spring....which one?

    I’m running an SCS in my 24” Craddock barreled Valk. I like the option of substituting tungsten weights if a little more thump is needed to get the bolt home. In fact, I am running at least one tungsten weight. Might be two. Old fart memory... Im also using the JP adjustable mass BCG. Pretty...

    Gunsmithing Shopfox M1112

    I'm a professional cabinetmaker. We have one piece of ShopFox equipment in the shop, and it will be the last. It really is crap. I obviously can't speak directly to the quality of their lathes, but I'd steer clear on general principals.

    40x trigger?

    I have a Jewel in my 40X repeater. Lovely.
