    Anybody able to shed any light on this Trigger?

    Writer Dave Bahde wrote a review for Rifle Firepower magazine on this trigger that will appear in the next issue of that mag. He tested it in one of my Apache Light Tacical, AR's I had built for him so I got a draft of the article yeasterday. His review was very positive and he ran timing...

    Geissele Match Trigger compatible with B.A.D. Safety Selector ??

    The BADASS selector is the only aftermarket unit Geissele recommends, and B.A.D. sells Geissele triggers. We do most of the Cerakote work for Battle Arms Development and have installed quite a few Geissele DMR/Match triggers with BADASS selectors in a number of different rifles and have never...

    Adjustable Gas Blocks on a 5.56 AR-15?

    By far the best designed adjustable gas block I have seen is the MicroMOA Govnah. You dont need speical tools and with the three position plate, you can dial it in to multiple loads, or have a primary setting, an adverse setting and one for suppressed. I am now putting the MicroMOA on all...

    This is from Red Jackets web page. One can only hope their work is better than their grammar... "We are very sorry on the past delays but we finally have the improved trigger bar manufacturing process in place and has ramped up our production substantially. We now are having these Extruded ...

    Proof Research?

    Just about to start the third build with one of the PR barrels (a 6.5 Creedmore) and the barrels have all proved to be very accurate and the weight savings and balance are a big plus on the AR-308 platform guns. But, they are pricey, so only you can decide if they are worth it.

    NEMO Omen

    No, actually I didn’t "trash" them. I clearly stated that "I think very highly of them. Great company and great products". My response was a direct counterpoint to RHunter’s statement specifically about Wilson and I only used this one example to illustrate the point I had made previously...

    NEMO Omen

    To both RHunter and kl3309: I have never known a single company in the history of firearms manufacturing that didn’t have a gun that, for whatever reason, went out the door with some issue or problem and had to be returned. My issue with you RHunter, is that you are going beyond...

    NEMO Omen

    It seems you don’t understand the concept of a “Sub-MOA Guarantee” which is a guarantee from the manufacturer that if their gun doesn’t shoot sub-moa, with the intended loads (usually performed from a mechanical rest) then they will take it back and make it right. It appears to me, you would...

    NEMO Omen

    You have to consider the shooter and the ammo in the equasion. Fortier is no death dealing sniper or bench rest master... Also, most of the ammo used is not what the Omen is intended to digest, which is 190 MK's and heavier and note that the BH factory 190 MK's outshot the guys 190 MK...

    NEMO Omen

    I have it in writing (email) from a senior exec at NEMO, who I have known for a number of years, that they do have a sub-moa guarantee for all Omen's. Here is his reply: 1. We guarantee sub-MOA. We typically get .75. Sometimes better. I have also coated several Omen's for Army SF Snipers and...

    NEMO Omen

    They do shoot sub-moa and have a sub-moa guarantee.

    NEMO Omen

    RHunter: Thanks I don’t disagree with you that a $5,500 rifle should look, function and shoot like one. And, it sucks that yours didn’t live up to your expectations. I would just say that in over 30 years in the business, that I don’t know of a single company that hasn’t, on occasion, put...

    Some 6mmAR and other 6mm Grendel variants questions

    I looked at the 6mm AR and 6mm AT Turbo, etc and finally settled on the 6mm HAGAR. I really like the cartridge, Hornady makes brass and dies, Redding also makes dies, reamers and guages are available. it uses 6.8 SPC brass as the parent, so uses 6.8 bolt and mags, which are readily available...

    NEMO Omen

    Rhunter: NEMO has a sub-moa gurantee, so if you are not getting that with your rifle just send it back. I have had a number of them through the shop for coating and have one here now and can state that the rifles are outstanding quality as far as design, materials and workmanship are...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Unsafe XD40, hammer striking when squeezing beavertail safety

    There are a couple of issues with the XD/XDm pistols, which could be the cause of your problem or part of it. On the grip safety, the grip safety pin has a notch in it that engages the grip safty spring and if the pin is inserted from the wrong side or got nocked out then the grip safety will...

    Gunsmithing .260 ackley

    The 260 AI / 6.5mm/08 AI, which has a 40 degree shoulder doesnt have any feeding issues I have encountered and Terry Cross has won over half a dozen major sniper competions over the past decade with that cartridge out of magazine fed bolt guns. I think that answers the "does it feed' question.

    Gunsmithing .260 ackley

    If you want to get the benefit of the AI case capacity, which allows you to drive 139 Scenar and 142 MK's in the 2950 to 3000fps range (thats the sweet spot) then you need a 26" barrel. My 6.5 Longbow cartride is substantially similar, just throat and some other minor mods and from our testing...

    Gunsmithing Need to get a threaded bolt handle

    PTG does make and sell a machined, angled bolt handle threaded for any of the standard aftermarket tactical bolt knobs, such as the Badger. I have several of them, so I'm 100% certain on that point.
