    Question about BCG

    I am in the process of trying to finish putting together a presission LR308 type rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. I have all of the standard accuracy stuff as a precision trigger, Bartlein barrel, etc. My question is should I use the Toolcraft double ejector bolt that I already have or should I go with...

    Who is considered the best to chamber a barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor

    I am about to order a barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor for a project that I have been working off and on for the last few months. I see that Compass Lake Engineering, Precision Firearms, and Craddock Precision all will be approximately the same cost (give or take a few dollars) to chamber the barrel...

    AR10 Build....Advice on Barrel Length

    I am currently down to placing an order for a barrel for a AR10 accuracy build in 6.5 Creedmoor. Before I place my order however, I have two questions that I would like to get answered. First, I am torn between either a 22" or 24" barrel. I know most people say to go with a 24", but I am...

    AR-10 Barrels....CLE vs. Craddock or Precision Firearms

    I am in the market to order a accuracy barrel for a AR-10 that I would like to complete. In the past, I have ordered two barrels from CLE (Compass Lake Engineering) for AR-15 builds with superb results. I have decided to shop around and compare pricing this time and was wondering if Craddock...

    McGowen Cut-Rifled Barrels for AR-10

    It looks like most of the post answer my question.....let's forget about McGowan. There is too many other options to put up with poor quality control. When you spend the kind of money that McGowan barrels cost, there is no excuse to get anything but something that is perfect.

    Aero Precision M5 build...question about BCG

    I also see that the Toolcraft has a couple of BCG models specifically designed for the 6.5 Creedmoor that seem to come with a high pressure bolt with dual ejectors. I would see that as a extra margin of assurance that the spent case will be ejected properly and a plus for reliability. Is there...

    I am currently in the process of building a Aero Precision M5 in 6.5 Creedmoor. After doing a little research, I have discovered that the 6.5 Creedmoor may need a high pressure bolt. I have come up with three different brands that I am interested in....JP Enterprises, Toolcraft, and Aero...

I am going to order my barrel from Compass Lake Engineering but can't decide between the Bartlein and Krieger brand. Does anyone have a preference? Frank at CLE says they are equal....just trying to...

    Wylde Chamber vs. CLE Chamber

    Well, I am now wondering how well the CLE chamber will handle factory 5.56 ammo? I think it is really considered a .223 chamber but it is my understanding that 5.56 ammo can be used in it. I just want to make sure that it isn't very picky if for some reason I find myself shooting 5.56 ammo...

    Wylde Chamber vs. CLE Chamber

    I am looking at a accuracy build and was down to thd decision of choosing a chamber. I am planning to order a 20 inch Krieger barrel from Compass Lake Engineering and can't decide on the chamber. CLE seems to push the CLE, but it seems the Wylde is much more popular. I am wondering if anyone...

    Buffer Tube Assemblies....Questions on Accuracy Potential

    I am in the process of completing a accuracy AR-15 build and was down to selecting the buffer tube. I am wondering if the buffer tube assembly has any effect on the total potential accuracy of my build? In other words, will I gain anything by going with a name brand buffer (Geissele, Spikes...

    AR-15 Linear Compensator / Muzzle Brake and Accuracy

    I am in the process of putting together a semi-accuracy build and have come to the point where I am having to decide on purchasing either a linear compensator or a muzzle brake. I think I want to go the route of a linear compensator over a muzzle brake because I don't like the idea of increased...

    Brownells changed their “forever guarantee” return policy

    I think Brownells really did you good with your gift card credit. Let's be real...Brownells will not be able to sale either one of these scopes again without taking a huge loss on them. Their only salvation may be that they return them to the manufacturer for credit, otherwise, they take a...

    Comparing reloading die sets.....RCBS vs. Redding

    I am just getting into reloading and had a question about buying my first die set. I am trying to decide between the RCBS 3-die set (20904) and the Redding 3-die set (80209) for my Marlin 45-70. I have read that both seem to be really good brands, but most people seem to give the edge to...

    Deciding on a Compass Lake Engineering chamber for a AR-15

    I am just a little puzzled why everyone that has compared the Wylde and CLE chambers on precision rifles seem to claim that there is no noticeable difference in accuracy between the two but then go on to say, that if you use factory....go Wylde....if you reload....go CLE. It makes no sense to...

    Deciding on a Compass Lake Engineering chamber for a AR-15

    I am about to make the plunge in buying a Compass Lake Engineering (CLE) chambered barrel for a AR-15 accuracy build. The problem is that I can't decide between the CLE match or the Wylde chamber. I see that CLE claims that their own CLE match chamber produces about 23% smaller groups than the...
