    8.6 Blackout accuracy and barrel twist

    That video sure doesn't seem to have any real info. I have no idea who he is but that was all conjecture so I guess we will have to wait and see. I hope Hornady didn't drop it all together because they are good at supporting weird stuff. The more successful this is the better the chances that we...

    When did Hornady do that? Got any more info?

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Yeah he was a great asset to the gun community. I wish I would have sent a few more guns to him. This thread is big enough I think I posted that same thing before :)

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    He did mine and did the mod on the action for free. I remember everyone saying it's a very minor machining operation but don't remember the details.

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    That's not bad. I wonder if they will ever get into the Encores.

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    Have they actually made them? It seems like every time I've looked over the last few years they've been out of stock. I assume the $1975 price they have is a placeholder if not that's crazy.

    Lightening up a howa mini

    They probably had a stock picture from a regular 1500 I think that's how they all come.

    Lightening up a howa mini

    I've only ever seen the minis with their DMB setup. I think it's the only way they come.

    New build options. 6.5 vs. 7 PRC?

    What type of shooting are you doing? Do you share ammo? Why are you thinking 7 instead?

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Anyone who can rebarrel a Model 70 can do the FN. I know I've seen several SPR's that got rebarreled at LRI on here maybe in this thread.

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    It's got a brake I need to get off first. It's been sitting the safe for a long time. It's been a while but I tried a few of the usual ways and had no luck. I'll probably resort to a vice if I ever get around to it.

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    I need to figure out the threads on my 500 Encore. I really want to try some subs through it.

    Lightening up a howa mini

    A plain synthetic stock is almost always the lighter option on hunting guns. Your barrel is definitely the biggest hurdle. You could mess around with a bunch of stuff or just order a new barreled action and put it in a plain synthetic stock and move on with your life. Brownells has a new...

    No more 24" Howa 6.5 Creedmoor Barreled actions from Brownells

    Obviously I can't speak for them but there have been other models that disappeared and reappeared. Howa/Legacy seems like it's always a bit random with what's coming in and available. If you want something now obviously you have to go another way but it wouldn't surprise me if they were to show...

    New Barrett MRAD ELR?

    In the limited experience I have working around the gun industry there were plenty of times that actual factory guns were used by factory teams and shooters. It doesn't seem like there's a good reason to lie about it when you are talking about a tiny subset (ELR) of a smaller market (PRS)...

    New Barrett MRAD ELR?

    Desert Tech have any mil contracts? Bullpups really struggle with acceptance. As for Barret have any personnel been relocated?

    New Barrett MRAD ELR?

    When someone says I'm not going to call you a liar it's basically a chickenshit way of calling them a liar.

    Subsonic shooting, noise vs barrel length

    It's something you'd have to figure out for each load there isn't a rule. Too many variables.

    CDI FN action modification for AICS

    I remember it being a very minor operation which I think Jeff did for free on mine. I wish I remembered the details.

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    You say rechamber but do you mean rebarrel? I ask because you first mention 270 and then talk about 7mm projectiles.
