    New m110 barrel offering? Possible PSA Sabre-10 upgrade for using the KAC/Griffin M110 suppressor

    While that doesn’t make sense to me I guess if you care about gay shit like instagram then go for it.🤣 Why not just buy a PSA and have d. Wilson put a htx concepts gb on it? Pretty sure Griffen is making 5/8x24 m110 flash hiders.

    New m110 barrel offering? Possible PSA Sabre-10 upgrade for using the KAC/Griffin M110 suppressor

    After re-reading your initial post I see this would be for gen1 DPMS compatibility. Don’t know much about DPMS but if their barrels aren’t compatible with SR25 or clone uppers I would say there is very little market for something like that. Why would a guy do a poverty build and then buy a...

    New m110 barrel offering? Possible PSA Sabre-10 upgrade for using the KAC/Griffin M110 suppressor

    I think if they move forward with this keeping as close to the KAC dimensions would be the best bet. i.e. keep with the .750 gb journal and keep the shoulder in the correct location to work with KAC, HTX, Nefarious arms gas blocks. As for me I would love to see a chrome lined bore on an...

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    Hopefully I’ll get it back in a couple of weeks and can provide a range report.

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    Got this in the mail a couple day ago but hadn’t got a chance to really look it over until today. Initial impressions; buy it. If you are on the fence about quality or workmanship don’t be. The machining is excellent. No chatter marks inside or out. Their markings are tasteful and in no way...

    For sure. Give me a month or so and I’ll report back.

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    I’ll be the Guinea pig here. Thoroughbred has them back in stock. I said fuck it and ordered a K1 in .308. Should have everything I need to put it together. I’ll likely have it dimpled by Templar if it shoots well.

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    Craddock will also make you one on a Bartlien blank. They offer the MK11, the M110, and one they call the CC. The later being a SR25 EC contour. They will also do it on a 400modbb blank. I emailed back and forth with a few questions about the Craddock CC barrel and it sounds like a direct...

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    Id be interested in knowing as well. On operation parts website it says they are using Rock Creek blanks.

    That’s definitely less than ideal. I would hope Geissele

    55’s not fully cycling in 223 Wylde 18”

    Glad you found the issue! It’s caused me more than my fair share of head scratching before. Like you said the last fucking place you would think.

    55’s not fully cycling in 223 Wylde 18”

    I should have elaborated a bit more on that last point. Take the proper sized driver and give it a good turn like 40-50 in lbs. I’ve seen broken screws where the head is held in by the staking and appear good with a visual inspection.

    55’s not fully cycling in 223 Wylde 18”

    Don’t know if it’s been mentioned yet, but did you check your gas key screws/bolts? They may not appear to have backed out but it doesn’t take much to let a lot of gas escape if they aren’t actually tight.

    RL-16 temp stable?

    When you think about it’s only 51 mph 😆 But on a serious note it could just the relative humidity of the powder. When I have multiple 1lb bottles of the same lot I usually combine them into one container to avoid unwanted issues. 75 fps is still quite a lot for just changing bottles. I’d run...

    RL-16 temp stable?

    Something is off then. In my experience the newer Alliant powders are solid in the temp sensitivity department. Did you use a different chronograph to measure? Not that it should make a difference if both are functioning correctly. Definitely not a 75fps difference.

    RL-16 temp stable?

    What was different about the ammo you shot today vs your previous ammo and data collection? Was it virgin brass from the first data point, different powder lot, different lot of bullets, similar bore conditions? A slip up on your reloading process?

    55’s not fully cycling in 223 Wylde 18”

    I vote it’s over gassed already unless it has a very small port like .062 or something. If I read correctly this is a mid length gas 18 inch barrel. I would go h1 as a minimum for a buffer. Does this happen with quality factory ammo as well?

    223/5.56 battle loads 14.5” gun

    Like many have already mentioned, 24 grains of TAC is a great load with a 77smk. In your 14.5 you will likely see 2630 to 2650. I had the same conundrum as you recently with a 14.7 fn mid gas. I put it together as a sort of recce rifle but still wanted some speed with the heavier bullets. TAC...

    Weird Accuracy Issues with AR Build

    Are you sure your scope mount is good? I had a Bobro that likely cost me a thousand dollars chasing other components and ammo.
