    Looking for a truck gun

    That looks to be the best deal going right now for someone who doesn't care to build. Helluva a good deal. MM

    Looking for a truck gun

    My "truck" gun (actually any vehicle) is a 14.5" Geiselle Super Duty with a 1-8x Sig LPVO. I don't want a pistol & I don't want an SBR; the 14.5" is good enough at any kind of CQB & can easily handle 250 yd engagements, or longer, if you know your dope & are capable. JMHO, YMMV MM

    Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

    The data for the BlackArc stuff is very impressive, but the real question is how much pressure can the AR platform receiver& bolt really take over the long run, & I've never seen that published anywhere. Even given the additional 8% case capacity, the pressure would still have to be something...

    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    Does anyone have a series of 5x5's or several 10 shot groups with these barrels? 3 shot groups might be an indicator, but surely need some additional verification. MM

    Thinking about another new can.

    Not really sure why you want something different in flow design & sound suppression are your needs.................the Hux Flow 762 is really hard to beat in those 2 areas. YMMV MM

    adjustable gas block

    Same here, of their better version & their basic (set & forget) version. They works just fine & were the "cheaper" ones I referred to in my earlier post. MM

    adjustable gas block

    SLR for me, all day, every day. Whenever you go to the range, turn it up & down a few click & it won't freeze up, but it comes apart easily to clean. But honestly, all the AGB's I've used, even some cheap ones, have worked just fine. A little high temp anti seize on the adjustment screw helps...

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

    Well, you can call it differential, or whatever you choose; to my thinking, it shows a definitive, quantitative change from un-bedded. But I'll say again, there are enough really good uppers that will make up to a thermal fit with a typical barrel extension, so no "goop" is required at all...

    1/2 moa to 3-4 moa. Help

    Might be worthwhile checking your barrel nut for tightness too, but more likely optics related.. MM

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

    Well, if you replace either or both of the parts, then "the gun" would no longer be "the gun", but now "another gun", wouldn't it. The only way to be able to know whether "bedding" helps a given barrel / upper, is to shoot the combination in question un-bedded, shoot enough data points to...

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

    How many different "goops" have you personally used on how many different rifles? And yes, I do agree with the fact that the shooter & the ammo can, & usually does, over ride most gains from bedding.....................very few shooters are 1/2" capable, much less 1/4"..................ditto...

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

    Too many "smart" people either don't get this or they simply don't understand the concept & try to overthink it. By far, the easiest method is to use a thermofit upper, like BCM, SanTan, or Cross Machine...............if one of those can't satisfy you, then 620 is your friend. IMHO, SanTan &...

    BCM Receiver and Lapping

    I have a Wheeler lapping tool; lapped lots of BCM uppers, never had a need for a "special" reduced diameter. But I've never measured the diameter of the tool either..............................works fine on every upper of numerous makes, that I've used it on. MM Your comment made me go &...

    Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 28MAY25) Update!!!

    Yes, it is on the warm side, especially if ambient temps get hot. I've used 8208 for quite a few years & have a good stock & I am 23.4-23.6 across numerous rifles. 24 gr is a bridge too far IMHO. MM

    what is the hides opinion on ballistic advantage barrels

    Buying BA barrels is like playing Russian Roulette with a 6 gun with 4 of the chambers loaded. Maybe you win, maybe you don't, but the odds are against you. Personally, I'm 50/50 with them. But I was able to salvage the bad one by recrowning & chasing the muzzle threads to all a brake to...

    Replacing the barrel on my Medium weight 14.5 inch run and gun upper

    Kinda depends on what you will accept for absolute accuracy & rounds life expectancy. Both Criterion (CORE) & FN make some very, very good, accurate chrome lined barrels today. MM

    Best AR-15/M16 Bolt Carrier Group For The Money…Who Ya Got??

    Absolutely nothing wrong with a good mag phos BC as long as it's lubed.........................but the other coatings will run better dry or with less lube & are just plain far easier to clean if that matters to you, especially the bolt stem. KAC still uses mag phos on all their rifles as far...
