I was wondering if anyone knows of any PC video games where you can practice long range shooting. My issue is I spend a lot of time getting down my Mrads and MOA, only to not target practice for many months or even a year and forgetting the ranging. This is something which if I had a video...

I did read many of the spotting scope threads but many are older and go for the really expensive ones. I was thinking, maybe I should pay out the money and get a vortex razor HD but I'm not sure if I need that to use occasionally at the gun range to see bullet holes. What I want to do is see...

I'm not too happy about this. This is a new 10.5" faxon pencil barrel I purchased. After building the rifle and doing the first cleaning, the inside of the barrel looked all cruddy, like it has had a lot of rounds through it. I though maybe that was from the factory test firing the barrel?? Do...

I am going to build a 6.5 creedmoor AR10 before the bans come in next year. Well, lets assume the bans come in next year and I'm stuck with this single barrel. If you really have no idea what you will use the gun for, what would be the safest length to get, assuming you will never be able to...

What would you guys say would be your best bang for your buck barrel for an ar10? Thanks

Just wondering because the bore guide enters the chamber and you bypass that area when using a bore guide.

I'm using a tipton 22 caliber carbon fiber cleaning rod and a Tipton 22 caliber Jag for my ar15. I have to use very tiny cleaning patches on my ar15 or they will get stuck. The diameter of the tipton cleaning rod is almost the size of the bore. If I use 22 caliber cleaning patches for ar15...

I'm somewhat new to this long range shooting. I did shoot a PSA 16" ar15 using this same scope and mount and I believe my groups were very close. I built an ar15 rifle with a Faxon 16" pencil barrel. LaRue MBT 2s trigger Barrel link...

From what I know and read, if you are screwing together dissimilar metals you should use anti seize. One one gun I have a titanium barrel nut and black steel screws. I am also am using a titanium grip screw into aluminum. I can already tell that when leaving the steel screws in the titanium...

I'm having some bad luck. Aero Precision 308 and a titanium barrel nut that needs to be aligned for rail screws. The barrel nut recommended torque is 35-80 ft lbs. Here is what I did so far: and right now my barrel is torqued with 85 ft lbs and a .001 shim. no shims = 90 ft lbs of torque to...

Just something I was always wondering about. When you run a patch through a barrel, one side gets real dirty. Is there anything bad about just turning it around and reusing the other side?

I take noise induced hearing damage more seriously than most people and in the past when I would go out and shoot it was in the desert by myself. I am in a different state and there is no desert shooting for me, I will have to go to a range. At the range what I noticed is that not only will...

I'm using an aero precision ar10 upper and a faxon 308 barrel. The barrel slides into the receiver easily. If I put the barrel into the receiver and then hold the barrel, the receiver will easily slide off the barrel by tilting the barrel. I don't feel any resistance at all when pushing the...

I bought this linear compensator, which has the logo on the right side. I then installed this on a barrel from the same manufacturer and it did not line up like that. I figured they must have timed it somehow to get it to line up. Then I purchased 2 faxon barrels. To my surprised I screwed...

I want to build an Ar-10 light weight battle rifle off of an Aero Precision M5 upper and lower. I narrowed the barrel choices down to a BSF carbon fiber barrel which weighs 28 oz with fluting cost = $600 https://www.bsfbarrels.com/product-page/308 Or a Faxxon 308 pencil barrel for $259...

I would like like your thoughts here, I built a 300 blackout rifle with an 8" Vseven barrel. Using an Aero precision rail and upper receiver. I am using a blast can and the rail opening is only about 1.2mm wider than the blast can. This would give me about .6 mm on both sides of the muzzle...

Would like your opinion on this. Should the last patch you run down your gun be completely dry, or should it be a little wet with oil? I read that you can damage the barrel if there is too much oil in the barrel, but I don't know what constitutes too much. Will applying oil to the last patch...

Everything else being equal, will different bullets shoot left and right differently? When I say different, I mean like will 145 grain bullets shoot differently than 168 grain bullets. I know that the they will shoot higher and lower differently. But is it normal for them to also shoot left...

I'm shooting out to 300 yards and it seems that some of my shots hit close to center, some don't hit the target at all. Some shots are 5 inches from each other, some 10 inches or more. Basically my shots are all over the place but some do hit close to center. What is the best way to...

I am sometimes forced to leave a rifle scope in a hot car. It gets pretty hot inside the car especially on 85+ degree days. My searches came up with nothing so I am wondering if it is a bad idea to leave a rifle scope in a hot car.
