    Firearms Insurance

    Decided to inventory the gun safes and document all of my guns and scopes. Put a replacement value on it and the number surprised me. I guess when you get tired of one and don’t move them on you accumulate more than you would think. Our homeowners insurance will only let us put a rider up to...

    B14R Bedding

    Is needing a factory stocked and barrel B14R worth the effort? Has anyone done it? My older green mountain barreled 10/22 shoots better than the Bergera. CCI green tags are a solid 1 MOA in the 10/22. The B14R can be all over the place at 50 and 100. Think I want to bed before considering a...

    Aero EPC-9 Enhanced Hand Guard on a Standard Upper

    Probably a dumb question. Got my stamp back for my SBR lower, also got my Dead Air Wolfman out of jail. Got the 10” Macon Armory Barrel. Hope this feeds better from Glock Mags than the Faxon Barrel does. So with the (extra provided for enhanced) barrel nut and an enhanced hand guard do...

    Geissele and Larue trigger question

    NXS 5.5-22 50 -vs- NX8 2.5-20 50 Both SFP

    So I am partial to SFP as I don’t like the size of the reticle changing. No PRS here just a friendly club comp out to 600, sometimes just 300. I also am partial to a true cross hair center sighting point. I really like the NX8 but it has the dot center point. Buying through the mil program...

    Grey Ghost Precision Barrel Nut Fitment

    On a Proof CF AR-10 barrel. Barrel was thermally fit to the upper. ID of barrel nut is 1.170ish, and OD of Proof CF 6.5CM Barrel Shank is 1.200. I have the GGP 18” hand guard that barrel came with? Suggestions? Thinking of finding a machine shop to take .004 out of barrel nut. Want a...

    JP SCS H2 Spring for .224V

    May be a dumb question. I have a JP SCS H2 for a build. Mega upper and lower, head spaced bolt, adjustable gas block and a Barg CLE 224V 22” barrel. Any suggestions on which of the 5 springs to start? Have a spare steel and tungsten weight to tune. Want to push a bit on velocity and not...

    Dead Air Wolfman

    Looking for my first can. I have a PCC and want to SBR both it and a standard frame for 300BO and 5.56. Looking for one can for both. The Dead Air Wolfman has came out of my research to be an option. It can take sub and supersonic ammo. Any others I am missing? Any negative reviews of the...

    224 Valkyrie Barrel

    Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Compass Lake custom AR barrel. So I am leaning Bartlien (you only live once, why not build it right), but am stumped on 20” vs 22”. It will not be threaded. So any thoughts on length or the 4 brands that Compass Lake offers? I will get the matching bolt...

    Trigger Pins Walk Out

    Aero Standard Lower with Enhanced Upper. Nice build. JP SCS. Standard BCG. Luth-AR MBA-1 buttstock. Ranier Arms Ultramatch 308 barrel. I am not the best shot, but not bad. It honestly is 1 MOA (5 shots) with about any load I have made with 175 SMKs and 4064 or CFE223. I have stopped load...

    Dumb Question (Heated Brass in Oven)

    So after I wet tumble brass I dry it in the oven on the warm setting to speed the process. Didn’t pull it out the next morning, and the wife preheated the oven to 425F to bake something. It was 40 S&W brass if that matters, Wouldn’t think it would have annealed it like we anneal rifle brass...

    Annealing/Sizing Advise

    I bought some processed 7.62X51 brass. These things are close to 0.015 long, and am having to move the shoulder that far. First batch I did came out good. I annealed. Moved the shoulder. Held the press for 8 seconds and hit my target. The press took considerable force. Two questions...

    Dumb Question

    Have some once shot nickel plated brass. Can it be annealed? I just ordered an Annealeez. It’s really the only 280 brass I have (160 or so). Was not wanting to go on a brass hunt.

    224V/6ARC/6.5G

    Ok, supplies being un-obtainium lately I have found 7.62X39 Small Primer Lapua and Winchester Brass. Also can find some Federal 224 Valrkerie brass. Trying to decide on next AR build. Lessons learned in this shortage but the components before the build so you know you have something to load...
