    Re: Robert Gradous's Tactical Rifle Gunsmithing Class Poke, More like a team project. Robert and I built it. One to one instructor to student ratio. I got my hands dirty and put tools to parts too...under the instruction and guidance of Robert.

    Gunsmithing 243AI???

    Re: 243AI??? My COAL for the 243AIs with 107g Sierra MK is 2.834. My only questioning was related to how can/did the gunsmith not ream the chamber deep enough? If the gunsmith used a go/no go gauge how can the throat not be deep enough? And how can he cut the throat deeper without cutting...

    Gunsmithing 243AI???

    Re: 243AI??? BTW- I measure COAL after I have determined where/when the bullet touches the lands. I back off a nats ass, check magazine clearance and measure overall case length with a caliper.

    .223 twist rate

    Re: .223 twist rate I'm surprised that John has given you only those 2 choices! When he built me a match upper, I could pick any twist rate I wanted. The only thing was he had some barrels on hand and if I wanted something else, it would be a longer wait time. No big deal. I went with a...
