I had the idea rattling around in my head for quite a while where I would use all the latest, greatest most high tech materials to build a light AR-15 rifle that would be able to shoot 0.5 MOA groups, handle well, and shoot well suppressed. After Sandy Hook, I decided to turn my aspiration into...

Good Evening Board, I recently ordered two boxes of Lapua .308 Palma brass. I figured since I have cases of small rifle primers stockpiled, I might as well get some brass for my .308 that can use it. My question is, have anyone observed any significant changes to either accuracy and/or...

Hi, I was reading that the Commercial and Mil Spec Buffer tubes have different diameters. So I was wondering, do the AR lowers accept both kinds of buffer tubes? Looking at the various manufacturer websites doesn't seem to provide me any clue on what kind of buffer tube do the lowers accept...

Hi, Let's say I'm trying to build an AR whose parts can last a long time without breaking. What are the parts I would need to focus on to ensure it maintains its function? Also, what would be the expected life of: 1. Regular extractor vs chromed extractor or TiNi coated extractor 2. Regular...

a rifle whose barrel is threaded 3/4"x24? Hi guys, I'm thinking about getting a DTA Covert rifle but I wanted to make sure that it was compatible with my 3/4"x28 tpi thread titanium suppressor. The thread on the DTA's are 3/4"x24 and Mike at DTA says he doesn't see why my suppressor won't...

The Dad's Club at my kids' elementary school will be doing a trap shooting contest. So I'm thinking about getting a tactical shotgun for it which can also double up as a home defense gun. Something like the Remington Versa Max Tactical or the Mossbery 930 Special Purpose Blackwater. However...

I been looking for a threaded clamp on muzzle brake for my barrel's thread of 3/4"x28 tpi and ran across the Grizzly Brakes. They are kind of pricey but seem to be what I'm looking for. Has anyone experience with them? How do they compare to the Vais and the JP Recoil Eliminator (both of...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here can expand the neck area of a RCBS .300 Win Mag small base full length die so it effectively becomes a small base body die. I've spoken to RCBS about this and they said the neck area has a Rockwell hardness of 60 so they don't want to do it. So I'm wondering if...

Hi, I recently gotten a 1 in 9 twist barrel for my 10/22 rifle. My goal was to shoot the Aguila Sniper Sub Sonic bullet suppressed. Well, I would get constant jams because the charge in the bullet does not result in proper extraction and ejection of the brass. What do I do to get it to...

Went to the rifle range early this morning and did these videos. The first one is me shooting four different sized targets at 100 yard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI0YAYB-7hA I got this done in 1080HD so that should show some more details.

I was testing the various sunshades I have lying around the house. Here is what works and what doesn't: 1. Trijicon 50mm - no 2. Leupold 50mm for VX3 - yes 3. Rubber slip on sunshade purchase from Natchezss for 50mm scopes - yes Cool thing is Leupold sunshades should be readily available and...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPWPz1aiZbI Just did this one for the Trijicon Tactical Scope. When I get the SS 5-20x50mm HD in, I'll do a side by side comparison.

I have a Badger low profile gas block that appears stuck to my Rock Creek/ABS carbon fiber wrapped AR-15 barrel. What would be the safest technique to use to remove it without damaging the carbon fiber wrap?

I was shooting with a Ranger 2 suppressor on my 24" AR today. The first 15 shots were really great with touching groups and predictable POI shift from unsuppressed. However, after the first 15 shots, my rifle got really really dirty and each succeeding shot was .5" lower (at 100) than the...

I recently received my Ranger 2 and on its warning label is not to shoot frangible ammo and 22LR through it. Why is this so? Shouldn't both be stablized enough to not cause any baffle strikes?

I got some interesting tidbits to share with the Hide. 1. The March 1-10 can be ordered with daytime visible illuminated reticle. It cost another $120 or so. 2. Specifically, I asked about the FFP version. Kelby told me they will be demoing a 3.5-22 March scope at the next Shot Show. He said...

I recently got a custom AR 15 that comes with a Magpul PRS stock. So I've been doing load development. However, I'm running into the issue where I'm shooting vertical stringing 5 shot groups that are between 0.67" to 1" long but only 0.4" wide on the horizontal plane. I'm currently using...

http://www.superiorshootingsystems.com/RELOADING-FINAL_FINISH.html I am intrigued by this. Am thinking about buying some for a few of my rifles with factory barrels. Has anyone here tried it? What are your impression of the product?

where cost is no object? Here are the requirements I got: 1. Not too long, I hate scopes longer than 13" 2. Not too heavy. There are lots of great glass but a 2lb+ scope is not conducive to a long range target/assault AR. 3. Good magnification range. I'm looking for something with...

Hi, I was shooting my reloads for the first time in my AR-15 this last weekend. After collecting the brass and cleaning them, I noticed two of my brass cases had incipient split indicators, the whitish line across the middle of the body. I used a dentel pick to confirm a crack inside the two...
