    LMT .308 MWS

    Talked to a tech at LMT. My rifle was built in 2010. I bought it second hand a few years ago but haven't shot it much. Had issues on my first range trip and never got around to diagnosing things. Wife has had cancer twice, her mom passed away, I had neck surgery, then a stent, her brother passed...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Aimed at any particular portion of the conversation/thread or just a general query? The answer is yes either way.

    LMT .308 MWS

    Plan on getting out this weekend to see how she runs with a new buffer tube. The old one on the left had the first thread stripped so it HAD to be threaded in one additional rotation. I also bought one of the $500 LM8 uppers. If none of this helps, it almost has to be the barrel.

    I hope to have my MWS set up by then. I'll probably bring my LMT with 224 Valk and 223 barrels. May tote the 6.5 RPR and sling a few at the long gong.

    As long as you're under 250 I'll give you a piggy-back ride from the car/truck to the bench. Lol.

    Long time no see kids. Lots has happened. How's May 1st work for anyone else? I know it's a Sunday but my lil man, nieces and nephews have baseball on Saturdays.

    LMT .308 MWS

    I guess the buffer tube just looks more polished in that area than deformed. It's to the left of the retaining pin. She mates up fine without the bcg. About a 1/4 inch gap with the bcg.

    LMT .308 MWS

    My apologies folks. Factory rifle bought from another member. 16" SS 11.25 twist. I have fewer than 300 rds through it, unknown how many prior to my ownership. I've tried FGMM, Hornady Match 168 and 178, Norma 150 or 155, M80s. None performed worth a poo.

    LMT .308 MWS

    I've had my rifle for a few years but haven't shot it much. (Wife had cancer twice, her mom and brother passed away at separate times, I had neck surgery and a stent. FUUUUUUCK) Anyway, it's never produced anything but shit "groups". I mean, 8-10 inches at 100. Finally broke it down the other...

    Hey Scott, any info on the new 1-8 Strike Eagle?

    Tikka T3X in .284 or 6.5-284 ?

    Not mine unfortunately. First page of the Tikka build thread. I've been in love with this rifle for years!

    700 Rem Action Rebarrel?

    If you don't reload, stay with a 270 or go 30-06. If you do reload, go 280AI. Drop it all in a KRG Bravo and go fill the freezer. I lust for justification to build a 7SAUM/284Win/280AI so I MAY be living vicariously through you just a touch. 😁

    Hunting scope options with mil reticles?

    Bushy LRHSi, Burris XTR3 or Vortex LHT. Hell, a Gen1 PST 2.5-10x32 is what I use on my 450 Bushmaster for Ohio deer gun season.

    Appendix Holster

    Tier 1 Axis slim is what my PPS M2 rides in. It was my first foray into AIWB. I'll be picking up a combo pack for my Shadow Systems mr920 and g48 MOS pretty soon. I also definitely recommend getting at least a small wedge. Medium feels better to me. FYI, when I started carrying appendix, I was...

    @reubenski had an LRHSi 4.5-18 for sale recently.

    6.5 to 223 Ruger Precision conversion

    I have a Gen 2 6.5 creedmoor. Any way to bush the bolt and adjust the extractor to run 223 or maybe 224 Valk? I've looked all over for an old 223 RPR. As the title states, I'm probably clueless to the point of being ridiculous.

    If Vortex is watching this thread or Scott wants to relay a message, @Basher said it better than me.

    I personally think they made that model significantly less appealing/useful when they blocked it in with the 22x LHT and the Gen3. For half the price you can get less weight and a comparable mag range. For a few bucks more, get the latest and greatest.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR3!!!

    It doesn't... but it does. Lol. Loved my Gen 2's but HOLY SCHNIKE'S were they toads. Now to decide whether I want a 5.5-30 or 4.5-22 Razor LHT for an upcoming tac/hunting Origin build.
