    CLE & Bartlein Sweetness

    I needed to run a few more rounds through the SPR before I felt confident in developing a load. It only had 40 rounds down the tube, and I'm still running the load from my last upper. Wife asked to go too. Sure why not; it's just trigger time. I crack off three and rang steel at 200, 300, and...

    Mixing powder lots/same powder

    Which Wrist Watch ?

    Citizen Eco-Drive Titanium I forget which model. Bought one 7 years ago for myself when I paid off my student loans. Pretty much wear it everyday to work. From t-shirts and polos with jeans to suits, it pairs well. I do think I’m going to switch to an Apple watch when I’m not wearing a suit...

    SOLD BCM/Douglas/Compass Lake Engineering 16” Upper SOLD

    Upper started life as a full BCM build using a 14.5” pinned barrel. Upper, BCG, and CH seen 200-250 rounds before I got the precision itch again. Upper was sent to CLE for a re-barrel in March 2020. They removed the 14.5” barrel, installed a new barrel, new barrel nut, new gas block, and new gas...
