    What's the difference between Black Hills 5.56x45mm NATO Ammo 77 Grain Open Tip Match and Black Hills MK262 MOD 1-C?

    "Back Yard" testing with 24hr soaked, dripping wet newspaper, while not perfect... can be enlightening. Having a burn pile helps getting rid of the soggy newspaper, Lol I used to do a crap load of it , prior to Ballistic Gel / the internet being available. What I am saying... is it was better...

    I wouldn't use grease in it. Try a different gun oil. I like purple ALG Go Juice.

    Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 28MAY25) Update!!!

    Having just re-read this thread ... it only makes me want this barrel more. Also, Bigjake83's assm. advice is worthy of a sticky. Anyone know if G is going to make more ? And those 20rd groups of BHA 77gr are a thing of beauty. The Phased Array Gas System, intrigues me greatly. I mean, who...

    What Could Cause Brass to get “stuck” on the bolt/extractor when manually cycling the action on 6 arc gas gun?

    Also...check the claw of the extractor... it might be holding onto the case rim.

    Ammo suggestions for M1A scout.

    No offense... but isn't that a SOCOM ? Different gas cylinder lock is used on the SOCOM... the OEM thread pitch is a odd ball size. https://www.m14forum.com/threads/socom-suppressor-question.509108/ FGMM 168gr has been a "standard" for 308's for a long time. Hornady 155gr Amer. Gunner shoots...

    Not what l expected

    No offense to you, but your BA barrel might need more breaking in. It is a "bargain" priced barrel... and isn't known to be great shooters out of the box. Clean the barrel thoroughly... "feeling" for any burrs while doing so.... I could be as simple as a burr at the gas port. Frankly, some...

    Gas Gun Groups Thread

    Just for shits and giggles.... even Surplus Ball ammo can shoot satisfying groups... Remember cheap bulk surplus ammo, so just sharing. 18" Criterion MLGS , rapidish firing Same rifle with 10rds 155gr Hornady AG, I flubbed the flier.

    What's the difference between Black Hills 5.56x45mm NATO Ammo 77 Grain Open Tip Match and Black Hills MK262 MOD 1-C?

    I believe the Hornady bullets are the newer "Aeromatch" line. This is for the cannelure version.

    adjustable gas block

    FWIW... I have only one LFAR barrel with a ( IMHO ) "appropriate" factory sized gas port. That one is a Krieger. All the others... Criterion, Ballistic Advantage ( A let down of a barrel ) SOLGW, FN, PSA... have had "oversized" gas ports. Various lengths and gas lengths. I have the gas port...

    adjustable gas block

    I like the SLR "linear" adjustments. For me, the adjustments are far easier to tune. I will second what TonyAngel said about maintenance, however, all mine have been set and forget. IE, the various ones I have , are happy at 6 clicks open from closed ( of 15 clicks to wdie open available ) ...

    what is the hides opinion on ballistic advantage barrels

    I'd say you certainly got your got your moneys worth. Is this the "2700 FPS" load, or the "2550 FPS" load ? .. I couldn't quite tell from your chrono numbers.

    New Build #4 Ridgeline RD15 / Geissele 18" SPR Cut Rifled Barrel. (03JUN25) First Range Session up.

    Excellent groups. I am kind of surprised the AAC 75gr Black Tip shot so well. ( Given it isn't a "Match" load or bullet )

    what is the hides opinion on ballistic advantage barrels

    I prefer to assm. uppers with accuracy being preferred... and BA / Aero barrels tend to be a "hit or miss" in that dept. A respected barrel is a inexpensive cost , compared to the ammo's cost used during a barrels life... so why not buy a better barrel for about a $120 dollars. We all are...
