    Want to duplicate BH 69 grain Blue Box Load

    Hi Guys: I would like to duplicate the Black Hills 69 grain SMK Blue Box load. What is the Case Overall Length? How many grains of powder do they use? On others forums they have stated that they use Ramshot Tac and when I pulled loads from their 77 grain and 68 grain rounds the powder looked...

    16 inch .308 vs 18 inch .308

    Re: 16 inch .308 vs 18 inch .308 Thanks for everyone's replies. Well it does not look like I would be losing that much by sticking with a 16 inch. My rationale when I initially went with the naked 18 inch was that the overall length of the barrel was about the same as a 16 inch with a A2...

    16 inch .308 vs 18 inch .308

    Re: 16 inch .308 vs 18 inch .308 Well I wanted the 18 inch naked. They made the mistake on length. They sent me a naked 16 inch. The flash I know is going to be bad on this one. The gas port is carbine. I'm sure they will make it right it just sucks to wait.

    16 inch .308 vs 18 inch .308

    Hi guys: After a wait of about one month I finally received by Krieger .308 barrel on a RRA LAR-8. The only problem is that they cut it too short. I requested an 18 inch and they sent back a 16 inch. The reason for the 18 was to have more reach. How much performance will I lose with a 16 inch...

    Surplus .308 and Krieger Barrel

    Re: Surplus .308 and Krieger Barrel All jokes aside guys. This is maybe a silly but serious question. When I took my bum barrel to a gunsmith he said not to shoot surplus through her.

    Surplus .308 and Krieger Barrel

    Hi guys: I just sent off my RRA LAR-8 upper to get a new Krieger barrel put on her. Old barrel was not that accurate and copper fouled terribly after about 2500 rounds. I posted here before and some commented that my factory barrel was a tomato can with a hole in it. They were right. I know...

    Mobil FM 102 Grease, Help!

    Re: Mobil FM 102 Grease, Help! Hey Guys: I found a great substitute. It is made by CRC and it is called Multi-Purpose Food Grade Grease. It's made for food processing machinery. It's specs were close to the original Mobil FM 102. It looks different (white) but it functions much better...

    Mobil FM 102 Grease, Help!

    Hi Guys: Is there anyone out there that knows where I can get a tube of this stuff? Can someone sell me tube? I need it for my Geissele triger. Mobil stopped producing this stuff and they can no longer obtain it. It seems to make a big difference on my match trigger. Thank you!

    Need advice on AR-15 upper

    Re: Need advice on AR-15 upper I hate to keep harping on the same subject, but CLE will build it the way you want and with the chamber the way you want. I have a 20 inch Krieger 1 in 7.7 twist with .223 Wydle chamber. It will shoot 5.56. My lower is a Bushy with a VLTOR stock and a Rock...

    Need advice on AR-15 upper

    Re: Need advice on AR-15 upper Hey guys: Man we have gotten way off topic here. To answer a previous question Compass Lake quoted me a two week wait on my Douglas barrel and matched bolt. I think that it will actually run about 3 weeks. In my opinion 2 to 6 months is a crazy wait for just...

    Need advice on AR-15 upper

    Re: Need advice on AR-15 upper I feel the same way sub MOA out to 200 is great for me. Good to know that I may be able to get 6 inches out to 600. I really do find 1/4 MOA unbelievable.

    Need advice on AR-15 upper

    Re: Need advice on AR-15 upper Hey Bucky Brew: So you are saying that you are getting 6 inches at 600? That is MOA or are you saying that you are getting 1 inch at 600? I just want to get to know that capability of my rifle.

    Need advice on AR-15 upper

    Re: Need advice on AR-15 upper Oh, ok I get it now. Under those rules my best group without flyers and just counting three shots is 1/4 MOA with my Krieger. Hell, I even got 1/2 MOA with my shot out chrome lined bushy shooting 55 grain M193 the other day.

    Need advice on AR-15 upper

    Re: Need advice on AR-15 upper Wow 1/4 MOA! After reading that one I measured the back of a penny with the Lincoln Memorial. That group is smaller than the mesurement from the top to the bottom of the memorial on a penny. You can imagine what the overall diameter of the group would be...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Re-Break in?

    Re: Barrel Re-Break in? Hey Guys: Thanks for the info. The .308 factory barrel does about 1.5 inches at 100. The .223 does 1/2 inch at 100. I followed the break in proceedure that Krieger had on his website of 5 one shots, 1 3 shot and 1 5 shot. I just was not sure of what the gun smith...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Re-Break in?

    Re: Barrel Re-Break in? Wow that's cold. Where did you learn? How did you learn. I bet from other people. You certainly learned bad manners and poor etiquette in your early childhood. Be nice we all have to learn from some where and maybe benefit others in the process.

    Gunsmithing Barrel Re-Break in?

    Hello Everyone: I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong forum, but I thought that this forum was the most appropriate. I have a .308 chrome moly LAR-8 that I have about 700 rounds thru. Unfortunately, I did not break in the barrel. By contrast I also have a .223 stainless Krieger barrel that I...
