    Impulse buy AR lower needs a direction. 9x39?

    Call Frank Green at Compass Lake. Have him make you a 22-24" barrel on the mk12 profile in .223. Much lighter than a varmint. That extra 5 or 6 inches really helps with the blast and velocity. 1-8 twist with a cut blank. Larue 2 stage trigger. Put your money in a barrel/trigger/optic/ammo....in...

    Is it BDL or detach mag? Looks like the detachable magazine to me but hard to tell.

    Fairly new SS .900 barrel pitting.....?

    yeah I looked down a SS AR barrel made by kreiger that I adn't cleaned in like 5 months due to a injury. Had a big glob of red rust in it. I was amazed. Shoot fine and you have to know here to look to see the pitting. I'll be much more carful with my SS barrels now. SS ain't as S as it used to...

    Lightweight Hunting Build

    I was just out looking at deer in velvet with my new S&B 10x42 and my Leupold FX3 6x42. No contest the Leupold would give you at the very least 5 more minutes of shooting light. And it saves HALF POUND of weight. Check them out for a lightweight hunting scope.

    .308 AR BCG recommendation

    My advice would be get a Toolcraft bolt from spicetac.com. With the 100 bucks you save go to Krieger direct and get one of their AR 10 cut rifled barrels. Krieger barrels. You can search for them. Cut rifled. Top tier outfit. I have high end and low end bolts and really can't tell the...

    Lookin for AR-10 suggestions

    If you go the DD route note that the new DD5 series doesn't have the Geissele trigger as far as I can tell. I have a DD5V2 and it is a sweet outfit that has never failed once.

    Lookin for AR-10 suggestions

    Suppressed and lightweight don't jive very well. Ok. Get a Aero M5 set. You can save some money going with a blem. Get a Faxon Match series 20" ss barrel that goes 2.4 pounds. Get your accuracy by handloading or using high quality ammo, no military stuff. Save a bit with some titanium parts, end...

    Factory 556 Ammo Hunting & Plinking

    ;) Yeah I shoot the 60gr Ballistic Tips. They seem like they are everything your looking for but for price! If you look around many times you can find them on sale for less than premium prices but not close to surplus prices. But then how many rounds do you burn up hunting? If your that close...

    Factory 556 Ammo Hunting & Plinking

    The Nosler brand 60gr BTs are good but you have to find 'em on sale around the net. My DD likes 'em.

    First LR-308 build...barrel advise needed

    I"ve got a Faxon pencil on my AR15 and I've been impressed with it. Amazed really. You'll like that scope also. Good choices!

    First LR-308 build...barrel advise needed

    I went with a 22" Bartlein 1/10 twist from Compass Lake. Just got my scope on it. 3x10 Leupold. Don't overscope your hunting rifle. Don't even try to have a hybrid range/hunting scope. I'm in Kentucky and the very idea of my game standing there long enough for me to twist knobs and fiddle with a...

    Input for first AR build

    As far as I know that is correct on the length. And do NOT put a grip on the handguard. Have you got your brace picked out?

    Input for first AR build

    Since your car is going to be carrying it I would look a the 12.3 inch barrel. Should give you more velocity and still come under the 26" overall length for a AR pistol. Carbine gas. Aero is good to go so is their barrel co. BA. What sights are you going to use?

    Will a linear compensator quiet down my 16' bbl ar15 ?????Need a little less noise-

    I have a Les Baer NRA match rifle. 30 inch barrel that is back bored 6 inches. So 24 inches of rifling and a 6 inch tube. It's super quiet compared to my other ARs. Still not safe without muffs but a really nice pleasant "booooom" compared to the blast by the shorties.

    Interested in an SPR/DMR/Whatever you want to call it

    Just call up Compass Lake. Have them build you a MK12 upper but in 22" length bbl. Bartlein 1 in 7.7 twist and CL chamber. NO threads on the muzzle or "flash hider". Put it on a Aero lower with the screw that fits the upper and lower together tight. Get a Geissile National Match Trigger. There...
