    Broken Bolt?

    I have a PWS Mk 110 upper (.223 Wylde, non-adjustable gas) from circa 2011 or 2012 - sheared off a bolt lug yesterday. I purchased the upper new and have been running a SiCo Specwar 762 suppressor on it. 99% of rounds fired have been suppressed. I ended up running an XH carbine buffer from...

    Optics Blurry - Are My Eyes Going Bad?

    I'm noticing lately that when I get behind a rifle with a magnified optic, that after only a minute or two of shooting, everything starts getting blurry. By everything, I mean both the target and the reticle. I'm pretty sure this isn't the fault of the optic, because it doesn't matter if I'm...

    CE ProChrono Died of Old Age

    Well, shucks. My Competition Electronics ProChrono purchased in 1998 died of old age today. It was a nice 24 years. Probably gonna stick with an optical chronograph. The LabRadar is just too much money and I do too much work over the chrono with handguns to justify a MagnetoSpeed.

    Suppressors DA Wolfman Q’s

    Expecting approval of a DA Wolfman in the coming weeks. Primary duty will be on a PTR9 via 3-lug. However, am curious about 300BO. Can it handle moderate subsonic duty (1000-3000 rounds per year) attached via 3-lug? Not necessarily mag dumps, but definitely rapid 3-5 round strings of fire. All...

    Suppressors Seeking input on adding a suppressor to my inventory

    Question: Which suppressor to add for the intended host, and which suppressor to use on other rifles. Intended host for new suppressor: PWS Mk110 5.56mm (10.5” non-adjustable gas piston). This is the nightstand rifle and what would likely be used in a SHTF situation. Current suppressor...

    Suppressors Form 4 Question

    Firstly, I'm not 'new' to the NFA game with 1x F1 and 2x F4's approved in the past. I've come across a first though, that I have a question about: Ordered a suppressor from SilencerShop in May, 2021. F3 goes through and suppressor gets to my dealer no problems. Per SilencerShop website, the...

    5.56 LC Brass Case Failure?

    Load data: 3x fired 23.5gr Varget 75gr BTHP 2.255” COAL 2650fps Rifle: 20” RRA AR-15 When I was working up the load, I went as high as 24.2gr, without seeing any ejector swipe or primer issues. I should add that the brass was purchased as once-fired from a reputable vendor. The other two...

    Nickel Plated Bore Jag?

    I somehow broke the pointy tip off my 25cal/6.5mm brass bore jag and ordered one from Amazon to replace it. They delivered a nickel plated one. Although the nickel plating will eliminate false positive copper in the bore, is the nickel plating hard enough to damage/nick the bore/crown with...

    Recommended 10/22 Barrel??

    Ordered a DA Mask in 11/2020. Needed to order a threaded barrel for my 10/22. Researched and decided on an FJ Feddersen 18” fluted/threaded barrel and placed the order. It’s been on back order now for several months. I’m getting close to giving up on it, canceling the order, and going another...

    Suppressors Newbie Suppressor Q's

    Just received a Specwar 762 as my first suppressor. Hosts are: 20" AR15 (5.56) 10.5" AR15 (5.56) 18.5" LR308 (.308) 26" Savage LRP (6.5 Creed) I've used the can on all hosts except the 308 AR. My biggest "issue" is on the SBR. Perceived recoil has increased with the addition of the can. As a...

    Member Link Up Red Cloud Echo Range on Ft Stewart

    Anyone interested in going? I haven't been there as a civilian (spent many rainy nights there as a grunt, though). I need to get out and stretch the legs of my rifle(s) and wouldn't mind some decent company to spot my shots and vice versa. I'll be driving from the Savannah area. I talked to...

    New Savage 12 LRP blowing primers

    Got out to the range today with a new Savage 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor. But it was raining its ass off outside so I didn't shoot much. Glad I packed up when I did, because this is what I saw when I was picking up my brass: I did look at the first piece of brass fired and it appeared fine, and...

    New Custom Build Cost Analysis

    So...I *had* a bolt gun. Then traded it for a semi-auto. Now I want a bolt gun again. But...I'm back in school and funding is tight. Tell me if I'm missing something below (parts, tools, labor costs, etc.) in my cost analysis. I haven't decided on any specifics yet, just trying to determine...

    .936" Adjustable Gas Block?

    I rebarrelled my DPMS LR-308 with a Fulton Armory 18.5" medium profile 308 barrel with rifle length gas. Currently, the rifle has a non-adjustable, lo-profile gas block, a DD 762 Lite Rail, and standard weight BCG, buffer, and spring and it's way over gassed. Considering I'll have a suppressor...

    Suppressors Suppressed AR Accessories?

    While I'm waiting for the ATF to approve my suppressor purchase (SWR Specwar 762), what should I plan on adding/modifying to my AR's? Example, should I go ahead and get GasBuster charging handles, adjustable gas blocks, heavy buffers/springs? The rifles to suppress are a Fulton Armory 18.5"...

    Changing legs on Harris bipod?

    Has anyone ever changed the legs on their Harris bipod(s)? I've got a 9-13" swivel with leg notches and a 6-9" that has leg notches, but doesn't swivel. I'd like to remove the legs from both of them and put the 6-9" legs on the swiveling base and the 9-13" legs on the non-swiveling base. I...

    Rifle groups well @ 100, but not at range?

    Can anyone explain why my 20", GA Precision barreled, DPMS LR-308 will shoot like this at 100 yards: But when fired at 200 yards, groups like this: The rifle does this with every load combination I've been able to throw at it. I've tried Varget, H4895, 178 Amax, 175 SMK, 155 SMK...

    Suppressors Bought My 2014 Christmas Present Today

    So after getting my first stamp in June of this year (10.5", .223 PWS), I bought a suppressor today. After a bunch of research, I called a local NFA dealer and asked if he had a SWR SpecWar 762 in stock, and much to my surprise he said he did. I made the trip over and got the paperwork done...

    1st OCW - Help Please

    I've been trying like hell to get a GA Precision LR-308 (DPMS receivers, 20" barrel) that I bought used to shoot decent. I originally found a load with 178gr Amax's that shot *okay*, but found that the primer pockets were shot after only one or two firings. Obviously these were overpressure...

    Handguard replacement on RRA Varmint rifle?

    I've got a 20", bone stock RRA Varmint rifle in .223 that I'd like to swap out the aluminum tube for a free floated rail. I've assembled a lower receiver or two and done some other minor gunsmithing (note: NO machining...simply assembly/disassembly/tinkering/adjusting/etc.) on various...
