    Well. Looks like really the only thing that's changed is brass is about 20%+'more expensive and sold out.

    Whats good brass these days?

    Thanks guys. By quality I mean Lapua or similar. Specifically I'm looking for 7saum and .300 rum. Looks like Nosler and Norma make them. Getting them might be another story. I also have a Grendel, 6mmbr and 6.5x47. I always used Lapua there too but I'm curious about the other brands. I...

    Opinions on switch barrel

    I have a Win M70 and have 3 barrels for it. 2 - .243 AI barrels, one being a fire forming barrel and the other is a 6mmbr. I like being able to switch barrels and shoot something different. As for the .22-250, you might want to go to a 24" barrel with a longer shank. that way, when the...

    What's the point of three groove rifling?

    Re: What's the point of three groove rifling? My .243Ai is a switch barrel rifle so whenever I swap out the barrel I get a better look at the rifling and take measurements. Im not trying to start a debate but rather ask about the style of rifling along with the land and groove count.

    What's the point of three groove rifling?

    Re: What's the point of three groove rifling? What im saying is from what Ive seen from two different barrels with diferent styles of rifling. On my 3 groove barrel you can clearly see the leading edges of the lands being eaten away at. And my thought is that square edge of the lands being...

    What's the point of three groove rifling?

    Re: What's the point of three groove rifling? I shoot a .243AI with fairly hot loads. What I have noticed between button rifled 3 groove and button rifled 5c style rifling, is that the radius on the edges of the lands do not seem to erode as quickly. I have many more rounds through the 5c...

    odd wear on carbine receiver?

    Re: odd wear on carbine receiver? I thought about the carrier key being mis aligned. Its a pretty good bit of material that has been rubbed off. I keep the rifle oiled well and didnt notice the wear untill I took the barrel off as Ive been wanting to re-build this rifle for a while...

    odd wear on carbine receiver?

    Re: odd wear on carbine receiver? The only thing I can figure is somehow the carrier is tilting side to side and eating up the flat surfaces in the gas key area? I thought this was only a problem with the piston rifles. Jerid

    odd wear on carbine receiver?

    Re: odd wear on carbine receiver? The charging handle does not cover the slick sides of the key. the charging handle is in mint condition. In the right light you can see a curve where material has worn away from the slick sides of the gas key. this rifle has over 10k rounds through it...

    odd wear on carbine receiver?

    I took my DPMS 5.56 14.5" carbine rifle apart that Ive had about 5 years. after cleaaning everything up I noticed that the flat sides of the gas key has removed quite a bit of material from where it rides. there where patterns in the bolt carrier bore look good and smooth in my opinion...
