    Craddock RTR

    I am just finishing up an 18" .22 ARC build. I wanted to go with a 20" RTR barrel but they were sold out so I went with the 18" RTR barrel instead. It's going to be used for foxes, coyotes, ground hogs with a thermal once my tax refund comes it. I may try to use it on hogs next year. It will be...

    Gunsmithing Broken Hex Bit

    That's what I prefer as well. I guess the broken bit rounded the inside of the set screw a little bit. I had to use a torx bit to get the screw out. I let the soldering iron heat up the set screw a few minutes then slowly started turning it with the torx bit. Came right out. I will order new set...

    Gunsmithing Broken Hex Bit

    Sorry I am just getting back home from my second 16 hour shift in a row. I did get the bit out and no it was not a ball end. I only use those to start screws. I put the upper in the gun box in my cruiser overnight with an outside temp of around d 22 degrees last night. This morning I brought it...

    Gunsmithing Broken Hex Bit

    It is a small 3/32 bit. It broke off pretty flush with the top of the set screw. Didn't think about a magnet. Super glue was my first thought but unfortunately i am out. I am going to pick up a new tube today. I don't want to damage the gas block if I don't have to. If it had broken off in the...

    AR-15 Weapon mountable mag holster?

    I ran a Boonie Packer Redi-mag for several years at work before we got in car weapon mounts. They work well but you have to practice with them. I had both mags drop free several times when I first started using it. I am not sure how a mag coupler would work with rimfire but with standard 5.56 I...

    AR barrel profile suggestions

    Take a look at Craddock Precision RTR barrels. They offer a variety of lengths and caliber options. I am very happy with their customer service regarding an issue I had with a gas block I purchased from them. https://craddockprecision.com/rtr/

    AR Gas Tube Wrench

    So a quick update. I called Superlative Arms to see what they would recommend and they said to put the gas block and tube in the freezer for a few hours then try to tap the gas block against a wooden table to knock the gas block off. After 5 hours in a freezer and 30 minutes of hitting it...

    AR Gas Tube Wrench

    It is all brand new unfired so it shouldn't be carbon locked. I have never had this happen before.

    AR Gas Tube Wrench

    While attempting to get my gas tube aligned before installing the pin my gas tube has become stuck in my gas block. I am using a Superlative Arms adjustable gas block and the supplied gas tube that came with the barrel from Craddock Precision. I don't want to use plyers and risk damaging the gas...

    .22 ARC vs .6mm ARC for hogs

    Has anyone found a ballistic app that has the .22 ARC data in it? I have Strelok Pro, Ab Quantum, Shooter, and the Kestrel Balistics app and none show the. 22 ARC as an option. Are you just using a similar bullet say Hornad 60 gr Amax and adjusting the data to make it work for the 62 gr ELD VT?

    .22 ARC vs .6mm ARC for hogs

    I am about to finish building out a .22 ARC AR for coyotes and foxes at night. I am scheduled to go to Florida in February on a hog hunt. I typically use a 6.8 SPC AR-15 or my .308 AR-10. Will the.22 ARC be effective on hogs out to about 300 yards or should I go ahead and build a .6mm ARC upper...
