    Aadmount scope caps for kahles

    Did you try Tenebraex? Probably the best. Or, ask MK Machining to make you a set.

    SAI 1-6 7.62 BDC to MRAD (conversion)

    Hmm. My guess is that they do not know or do not want to research it for you. PA has some really nice and easy to use reticles, but do you really think they gave that much calibration to a mini prism? When using an optic of that nature, the BDC is more of an estimate than a science. Your...

    Second guessing a part

    I think it depends upon the length of the barrel and the gas system. I suppose you could never go wrong with adjustable, but the longer the barrel and the gas system, the less variability you will have in back pressures suppressed and not. Also, there are so many good choices in suppressors in...

    18" 22ARC

    We just got in some Geissele 18" 6mm ARC rifles, and before ordering them, had several conversations with people who used them competitively, and in the field. Very impressive results, but I was examing the rifle and the results and did not ask about the ammo.

    Does it make sense...

    Enjoy the rifle and have fun. If you are serious about RECCE and SPR, lose the Aero and BCM parts. You probably have better parts than the operators in the early 2000's so make your clone your own.

    Remington 700 Custom Shop M40ish ID help!

    I think you said it all. There is more to the story though. This nice older gentleman or his alledgely dead friend also has a USMC manual. We work with the later generation M40s, so not an expert on this version, but fluting does not seem to fit an older gun, and the bottom metal is unknown...

    Mk4 Spotter Upgrades?

    We represent Cadex and Badger in that market, so I have a bias, but the Cadex is what is asked for the most from "operators" and it is reasonably priced and does the job.

    Suppressors Baffle Strike Diagnosis

    Yeah, like others said, an suppressor made for 8.6mm and you are shooting 2.1mm thinner projectile has to be a barrel or mounting problem. I hate to ask, but did you run a rod through the suppressor before starting? I am guessing not, but not judging. Barrel concentricity on a button cut or...

    Anything Cadex, let us help you out

    If you are looking for Cadex rifles, Cadex chassis or accessories, check our our website, and give me a DM to look for anything not on the Website. We have many models in stock if you are not picky about colors, or we order direct from the factory for rifles and chassis. We carry .50 cal...

    Re-anodizing?

    I would not say that is an obstacle, but the real question is what you want to do and why. We send out uppers and lowers for anodizing, and sometimes have to strip the existing anodizing. It is as simple as applying gentle media hits and keeping the grit to a very fine level. If you are going...

    Barrel Question

    I once spent some time talking to Boots Obermeyer, who you might now from developing the 5R rifling barrel, and he made tight barrels at .298-.308 for sniper rifles. His barrels were used in the Mk11 and early M110 gas guns and used 168 grain 7.72 NATO rounds. His logic was that the tight...

    Precision Rifle Gear $600 Tripods

    My personal favorite is the Cadex tripod, but is a little north of your price range. Leupold is spot-on in that price range. There are a lot of choices, and assuming you have a good foundation, the head makes all the difference in the world, and you can go from basic to fantastic.

    SureFire FA762-SS cloning?

    This has been a conundrum for some time. We have some research going on now. Yes, we have the muzzle device, but no suppressor options. Yes, we have the Warden conversions, but that ONLY for the SOCOM series. The FA762-SS requires an over the barrel fit, in addition to the locking device. I...

    FBI Sniper Rifles

    Bumping an old thread. We have been researching and are building FBI HRT rifles. We have had the 11.5" Carbing in a folding configuration for a few years. We are just releasing our "near-clone" HRT Sniper Rifle, which has all the FBI contract specs, but a swap of barrel and receiver (and thus...

    Barrett M82a1 Optic

    That rifle is known for quite a punch. There is a reason that military riflescopes are recommended. Nightforce ATACR, Schmidt & Bender, Leupold Mark 5HD, Steiner, et. al. Same with mount: extra secure.

    Suppressors Barrett AML-338 Question

    We have a number of customers with the Mk22 rifle and suppressor, and have not had any complaints. That is not to say it is the best suppressor, but it works, and the US Army uses it with up to .338, so its no slouch. I have no personal experience with the suppressor.

    Scope for a HK SL8-6 under 600$

    The tactical nature of the rifle would lead me to a true tactical scope, but at the price point you mentioned, the only scope that I can recommmend for long distances is the Arken EP5 or the lighter weight EPL-4. These are scopes that compete with others that are 2x to 3x the price. Another to...

    Optic advice for 22” 6.5 Creedmoor build

    My thoughts might be in the minority, but if you are doing such a great job on the barrel, you need a scope that matches the rifle. Burris, Athlon and other brands mentioned will leaving wishing for more. There are so many good scopes and so many opinions. I like to use what I refer to as the...

    Oversized Barrel Extension Preventing Installation Of Barrel on Thermo Fitted Upper Receiver

    Yeah, I would change receivers. BCM is good enough for a chrome-lined barrel, but if you are working on a $500 barrel, I would get the right receiver to work, and I might mill out the receiver by .001. I would probably move to a Vltor upper. Take it to a gunsmith. This type of fit is normal...
