    Annealer recommendations

    ...FWIW, I use the EP 2.0. The features I found most beneficial FOR ME, was the cost (I'm on a budget), no wheels to melt requiring additional expense, rapid and easy case size changeover, small footprint. In use, I found having to feed cases by hand wasn't an issue or actual significant...

    308 Handguard

    ...you didn't mention what receiver set you plan to put them on, receivers come in two formats, "low" and "high", which dictates the handguard type to get. I do know SLR makes both high & low for DPMS pattern receivers, CMT Tactical makes high for DPMS pattern receivers. I use both SLR & CMT...

    Aero Precision M5 build...question about BCG

    ...I'm of the opinion (and it's just MY opinion) that dual ejectors is a "workaround" for an issue that occurs due to improper(?) design/assembly/specs of the host platform and installed components that adversely affects reliability. In short, a "quick fix" for a specific problem that is...

    Aero Precision M5 build...question about BCG

    ...FWIW, the Aero nitrided BCG/bolt claims to be a "HP" type bolt, i.e., a smaller diameter firing pin and firing pin hole. The intent is to reduce the possibility of primer brass flow back into the firing pin hole when the round is fired, resulting in primer "cratering", a visual cue of...

    6mm ARC Barrel Length

    ...FWIW, out of my early run 18" RLGS BalAdv tube from Brownell's during my build validation, brass fire forming & powder testing. Conditions: 85F/80% Humidity, ~400F elevation, powder=LeverEvoution, primer=CCI 400, brass=virgin Starline 6.5G converted to 6ARC, projectile= Hdy 87 VMAX...

    Bulletseeker Mach 4 doppler chrono

    ....IIRC, saw some references to the "muzzle blast gas cloud (?)" potentially causing some issues. Since the brake redirects gas to the sides could be why it "reads better" 🤷‍♂️

    Rifle Scopes Arken SH4 Gen2 6-24x50 VPR MIL

    ....before finalizing, I'd suggest you mock-up where on the upper you want the scope to generally locate the free space between the power adjustment ring & elevation/windage turret and free space between elevation/windage turret to objective bell . Depending on your length of pull, buttstock...

    Ballistic Advantage barrels

    ....like ANY product, you're going to hear both good & bad about BA barrels. The real truth of the matter is it is always a 50-50 proposition with any "off the shelf" barrel, so to speak. So many factors involved in the process of assembling an AR that can influence the accuracy performance...

    General Purpose Rifle - Barrel Contour (Standard vs Lightweight)

    ....2 to 3 30rd mags in a short period of time..... I'd go beefier barrel. I'd look at shaving weight in the selection of LVPO, light, suppressor, handguard, etc.

    AR Rounds stuck in chamber

    ...the gauges are cut with a chamber reamer, yes, to SAAMI minimum. If your loaded round fits in the gauge (and drops out), it will fit in (and drop out of) ANY chamber that is SAAMI spec'ed. The utility of the slotted gauge is multiple in that it can tell you if your sizing die is set up...

    AR Rounds stuck in chamber

    ....if you're going to start investing in reloading tools, you may want to check out Sheridan's slotted gauges. At a glance you can see if it's a shoulder bump, case web sizing or bullet seating issue. All three of those individually can cause the problems you encountered, more so if more than...

    Honest Opinion on home defense rifle

    ...to the OP, your mitigation efforts are laudable and certainly much better than previous, kudos. You have identified that larger "window" type RDS work better for you, as well as the shortcoming of the battery life for the product you currently own. Incorporating a routine of swapping of the...

    Where is 6arc going?

    ...as more ammo is making it to the shelves, along with powders I suspect the cartridge progress will increase correspondingly. Brass is still an issue, but cursory looks online show Grendel brass coming up more frequently for those that don't mind converting... All in all, we haven't seen it...

    Switched AR10 to Carbine buffer with springco, and now I cant get it to lock back?

    ....Evintos makes some good observations, but I do wish to point out that my Aero .308 specific carbine spring doesn't jibe with the "coil count" nor "length" he states. Not that he is in error, if anything it just points out the lack of a "standard" when it comes to the .308 platform. A...

    Opinions on Odin works vs ER SHAW Upper

    ...SHAW does have a long standing reputation for being accurate tubes, and being "local" to you, IF issues are encountered with the tube may be easier to resolve.... there is that.

    Switched AR10 to Carbine buffer with springco, and now I cant get it to lock back?

    .....here are pix from 2015 when I built my large format AR using these Aero parts. There may be more than one picture of each from different angles to show the detailed measurement. You can see the numbers, make your own interpretations. ...FWIW, with a BA 16" Hanson barrel and SLR Sentry 7...
