    Gunsmithing Bighorn 12 point Barrel Nut Question

    I used a crows foot socket on my torque wrench. Plenty of people using the unscientific method of using a regular 12 point box end wrench and a healthy whack with a mallet.

    Gonna build me an SPR. Which upper will be best?

    Mine seems to like the hornady match 75 eld load for out of the box. Handloads with Rl15 and a 75hpbt have a bit more pepper on them and group just as well.

    Gonna build me an SPR. Which upper will be best?

    Totally agree. Two years ago I knew nothing about black rifles. 2 large frame builds and about 8 ar15 builds later I wish I hadn’t drank the kool aid. LOTS of good parts out there.

    Gonna build me an SPR. Which upper will be best?

    I just put a WOA Bartlein 4 groove in a run of the mill Aero upper. Did nothing more than lap the face of the upper square and a little anti seize on the extension. Rl15 and a 77 smk went under a 1/2 an inch for 5 in LC unprepared brass sorted for weight only. Same load shoots tighter in a proof...

    Anyone using a Area419 Hellfire brake on a AR10?

    Stuck a two port on a 5.56 and it was more of a loudener than recoil reducer. Have intentions of moving it to my Matens in 308 and 6.5 creed. Had it on my daughters 6br and she liked it well enough. I like having each rifle set up with an adapter and just swapping brakes as needed.

    Question for those who removed expander from FL sizing and use Mandrel

    It is not physically impossible and have seen same when working with a 6 Grendel. Screw it in more a bit at a time and re measure. You will hit a point that the shoulder will start to push back. Initially brass will grow until it reaches a point in the die that limits its growth in length (ie...

    Calling all owners of Ultralite Rifles

    I just got my EH6A in from Manners and it’s inlet for a Remmy sendero contour with plenty of meat left over in the forearm....and comes in at 31.75 long. For some reason the non-adjustable will supposedly handle up to a number 3.

    WOA barrels, any recent reviews?

    Have two Brownells Sale WOA barrels that shoot SubMOA. I haven’t run any handloads through them yet but they LOVE hornady black 75’s. FedEx just dropped off my WOA 20” Bartlein national Match barrel and hope to shoot it this weekend.

    Top tier bolt gun decision

    If you haven’t shot a chassis rifle spend a day or three with a borrowed one. They aren’t for everyone. I find them comfortable to shoot and a pistol grip fends recoil like no other.....but in the end I prefer a stocked rifle.

    Gunsmithing Side Bolt Release and 5x...

    Truer words have not been spoken. Getting over the hump when you are growing and need new equipment to keep growing is a bitch too.

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    I know when I swapped from a barrel nut type Barloc with coned washer to a more “proper” setup with the coned recoil lug (they were unavailable at the time i originally got my nuke) it would NOT drop back in the bedding. I bed my lugs tight (flame away all you want I’ve never NOT had one shoot)...

    New upper build... adjustable gas block or fixed?

    Have jp and superlative. I prefer the superlative and have yet to have any type of failure. Although I’m not running suppressed and generally give a couple blasts of brake cleaner down the gas tube after a day of shooting.

    This is why I’ll continue to be a Bighorn customer.

    Gunsmithing I Need a Bighorn Gunsmith in Virginia

    I was always more of a sleeper guy with my favorite somewhere between a 1970 Newport with a 440-4 and cheater slicks under full hubcaps and electronic cutouts with the switch in the ashtray and a shit brown 9c1 with a hot LT1 and full hotchkiss suspension and tubular a arms on widened...

    Gunsmithing I Need a Bighorn Gunsmith in Virginia

    Good to know. I’m used to shipping everything. Maybe I need to build a 300prc instead of a Norma.

    Stock to chassis and back?

    Nothing like a pistol grip to fend recoil.....but I still prefer a stock. I have an MPA and I just can’t warm to it. I can get comfortable on it and I think for a novice shooter it helps with fundamentals. I’ve yet to try a KMW sentinel but it’s on my list for next. As of right now the...

    Join me in begging and pleading with the folks in Verona aka HawkHill to start offering these. Their savage prefits are skookum but I’d like to get away from barrel nuts

    Gunsmithing Mausingfield vs Defiance Deviant for 300 Norma build

    I’ve been contemplating a 300 Norma build and almost decided against Mausingfield based on a previous Facebook post from your page. Not doubting you one bit....but what changed? I’m glad to see this. Wish you still had some HTR long actions laying around.
