    Suppressors AAC Cyclone vs Thunderbeast 30P-1

    They are very similar and share the same baffle stack, possibly with some slight changes I'm sure. Essentially it is the newer version of the 30BA, so yes they are very similar. And no the brake does not affect long range performance. TBAC's brake attach mounting system is solid and the benefit...

    Official First Look at the Accuracy International, AX308MC

    With a two stage trigger in a rifle you really do not notice that extra weight, I have become very partial to two stage triggers over the last couple of years. The trigger of the AI was love at first sight for me, I haven't touched the factory setting as it works beautifully when you are sending...

    Am I wasting my time?

    On the super swage you can set it up for a deep swage and do it by feel fairly reliably. That's how I get away without sorting if swaging is of concern, I've heard of others doing the same.

    Suppressors AAC Cyclone vs Thunderbeast 30P-1

    The Cyclone is one AAC can I'd have no issue owning if all I wanted was a stainless direct thread on can, but I'd say there is cheaper out there with similar performance if I didn't mind lugging the steel can around. I've got a stainless direct thread 30 cal can and you know where it sits now...

    308 winchester vs lapua brass

    I've got no issues with either one, both have been very consistent. I will say that I buy almost exclusively Lapua brass now, it's consistency is great. Just gotta be careful with it as you can't rely on it to always tell you if you're running into pressure issues. I don't see pressure signs in...

    Hearing Protection

    Which HL's do you have? Impact sports or pro's? I am currently running the impact sports with either surefire EP7s or foam plugs underneath. Still can hear well because of the electronics, but they also help cut out additional noise. No issues with the rifles knocking them around. Only other...

    Remington 700 AAC-SD barrel break in question

    I wouldn't touch any lapping bullets or worry about any other voodoo magic bs at this point. You've got two things going on from the sounds of it: -An inexperienced shooter. Time behind the gun at home doing some dry fire exercises and working on building a stable firing position will help as...

    Official First Look at the Accuracy International, AX308MC

    To run 308 in the AXMC 338 you will need the caliber conversion kit that AI will be selling (not sure if it is available at this time). But yes, it is possible as long as you purchase the needed accessories.

    Chinese Fighter Jet Almost Coooooollides with USN P-8 off coast of China

    Yeah, this shit has been going on for quite some time, but eventually one side is going to go too far. And so we just keep slowly marching closer towards another global war, not a good thing.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Concealed Carry: What is your setup?

    I carry my backup, a Glock 27, off-duty concealed either on the ankle holster I wear while on duty or it's carried in a CB Supertuck. I try not to leave home without it, but there are times I leave it behind.

    Rookie reloader. Best powder for ar15

    Many do, if ever unsure, you can usually go to the powder manufacturer's website and get that sort of info.

    Official Accuracy International AT First Look

    My only guess is that maybe the barrel was swapped from another AI received so that you could get your barrel choice sooner. Just a guess though, most of the ones I've seen line up as does mine. Shouldn't make a bit of difference though, time to get out and shoot it! Enjoy.

    Rookie reloader. Best powder for ar15

    Depends on how you are going to be filling cases, progressives are going to favor spherical or very short extruded powders if you have any hopes of consistent charges through a powder measure. I've had very good success with TAC and Winchester 748 out of both the Hornady LNL and Dillon powder...

    Dayum. Lower for next build has been selected

    Interesting, probably the first Spike's lower I would consider buying, especially if they do a no logo version. Call me weird, but I've always disliked their logo.

    Am I wasting my time?

    Depends on what kind of consistency you're looking for, if it's bulk ammo I never bother and never have any issues with it keeping 1.5MOA or so for general blasting purposes. If you're looking for the tightest groups, sorting by headstamp helps. I only worry about it for my SPR when it comes to...

    Make sure you have thick skin for the assholes out there that will always have something negative to say about the police.

    I want to be a cop Where do i start? LEO replies greatly appreciated

    -You may not need to sign up for the national testing network, a lot of agencies do not use it and use their own in-house training. First, figure out who is hiring that you are interested in working for and read their application requirements, etc. Make sure that you meet all of the state...

    Gunsmithing Pheonix/Mesa AZ gunsmith recommendations

    Unless my understanding is incorrect, as long as a gunsmith has their FFL they can be in possession of your items without any worries as long as you have your approved form. You can always bring it by while picking up the rifle to have them confirm it will work fine, but as long as you bought a...
