    Precision Rifle Gear Question on RRS Anvil 30 R-lock tension adjustment

    The gritty feel with excess drag on the main clamp lever out of the box was very disappointing, but as soon as I backed off the 2 screws on the upper arm plate and it got smooth I knew what the fix was. I did try opening and closing it about 100 times first to see if it would smooth out and when...

    Ingenuity Powder System

    If you really want to dig down on the spec sheets the sartorius has lower hysteresis as well, but who knows if you can actually shoot that difference between the sartorius and the A&D. I'm not convinced you could actually measure and prove the difference on the target or chronograph between the...

    Precision Rifle Gear Question on RRS Anvil 30 R-lock tension adjustment

    Yep, came from thermal optics plus, and it's from a recent shipment and the latest revision with the retaining screw for the r-lock pin. Somewhat disappointed I had to take the clamp lever apart and lap and polish the thrust washers right out of the box to free up the lever, but it was an easy...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    That's my second one, a Gen 3. I had the 7th or 8th Gen 1 that was made, I preordered right after they were announced. It was comfy but the gen 1 had no adjustable front ferrule tensioner and my action had no tension on the front ferrule in the gen 1 so accuracy suffered. The gen 3 with the...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    I drilled and tapped the rail on my M25 and made an 1/8" thick ABS brass deflector / scope turret protector that bolted to the top of the rail and sat under the scope that protected the windage knob. Worked well and did not cause any ejection issues. For a scoped M1A I prefer a scope with a low...

    Georgia Gun Shop is about as legit as accuracyinternationalusa.com -- save 15% by paying with Crypto! (I can't believe that website is still up... wonder how many people they've scammed.)

    Precision Rifle Gear Question on RRS Anvil 30 R-lock tension adjustment

    Picked up an Anvil 30 R-lock, and have to say I have mixed feelings about it. I like the safety lock on the ARCA lever as well as the R-lock feature. However, I'm disappointed RRS reduced the spring washer stack in the ARCA clamp compared to my earlier non R-lock Anvil, and overall the new one...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Having been down this road before, while the Sadlak and other make side mount scope mounts can work well, if you plan on scoping it most or all of the time I highly recommend getting an LRB M25 action from the beginning and be done with it. With the LRB M25 action and the dovetailed and bolted...

    Coup De Grace action for reloaders?

    The narrow slot in the bolt face for the blade ejector isn't as prone to brass flow as a plunger ejector and isn't a good indicator of pressure until you get *way* up there in my experience, but a draggy bolt lift is still a reliable indicator. With the pivoting handle installed there's no...

    JP LRI-20/LRP-07 with longer barrel

    I'm tempted, but the current cost of just a new complete semi monolithic upper is nearly what I paid for the complete rifles about 8 years ago, lol. They shoot great with the "old" uppers, not sure how much the semi monolithic uppers can improve things, but I do see them being stiffer and...

    JP LRI-20/LRP-07 with longer barrel

    I was just looking on JPs site the other day and noticed they now have heavy profile 24" 6cm and 6.5cm barrels available; that's something I have not seen them offer before. They typically used to offer light and medium profile barrels from 16" to 22" on the large frames, that's all that was...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns If you had $2000 to spend for a range pistol…

    Thought about doing that to my .40 STI since my .40 SVI is a sight tracker and should probably stick with irons on it. Might convert the 45 SVI to 9mm optic though, because a 2011 in 45 is kind of an oddball gun without a purpose IMO other than being the closest thing I own to a classic 1911...

    A&D FX Scale Deal

    If it won't read and won't calibrate, very good chance it was damaged in shipping. Would not be the first time an A&D has been damaged by rough handling in transit, another member had it happen a couple months ago buying a new one from a dealer.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns If you had $2000 to spend for a range pistol…

    Wasn't even in the market for a new pistol, read this thread, now browsing CZ Shadow 2s at Cajun and my wallet looks nervous as I'm thinking it would be nice to have both the compact and full size versions... Not even sure why I need them when I have 1 STI, 1 limcat, and 2x SVI that I don't...

    AT-XC bolts are not compatible with AT/AW bolts

    Anyone interested in a nice LH AW? Just picked one up by accident, didn't realize it was a lefty. Just looking to recoup the shipping and dros costs, asking $9k. ;)

    Precision Rifle Gear Question on RRS Anvil 30 R-lock tension adjustment

    Just looked at the instructions for the SC-ARC clamp as you mentioned and it appears there are 2 belleville washers under the clamp nut to allow some "squish" for the lever camover when closing and also compensate for a bit of rail width variance. From what I can tell my older gen 2 non r-lock...
