    Mk12 with suppressor won't stay open after last round

    Do you have the Magpul BAD lever installed on this rifle? I experienced the same problem but the issue was caused by the BAD lever contacting the upper and preventing the bolt stop from coming all the way up.

    Opinions on most accurate barrels in 223. JP, Noveske, etc?

    My Rainier Ultramatch 18" intermediate is sub MOA for match ammo and MOA for NATO type ammo at 100 yds. I like the company. They stand behind their claims. It's easy for me to hit 600 yard 10" targets with 77gr match ammo. I haven't tried further yet.

    Which AR10 to get? ($3500 rifle budget)

    Any reasonable person would surely choose GAP-10. I can't believe people actually ask this question still. :)

    Looking for 16" Match Grade Barrel for AR

    I just received a 18.5" Rainier UltraMatch upper in .223 Wylde. It's a shooter. I get nothing more than one MOA even with junk XM193 and M855 ammo. It does like the M855 62gr green tip better, but only slightly. I get MOA with these. My other ARs can't do this with this ammo. Now, when I...

    223 69 grn smk ar-15 16 inch ideas??????

    I have the same exact gun. I used the accuracy load from Sierra's manual for 69gr HPBT with 25.3gr Varget, LC87 Brass and CCI450s. I did do a lite neck turn on the brass to try and make my loads more concentric. But other than that, everything else was standard. My last range test on this...

    How to quiet down a 10/22?

    CCI green tags. They aren't advertised as subs but they really are. Anything under 1126fps for the most part excluding other variables. They are subs in my 10/22. They are very accurate as well. Just wish they were copper plated.

    Rifle Scopes Which to keep, Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x50 or Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50?

    Ditch both and get a mil/mil optic. I like the Vortex scopes.

    Is the M1A a Good Rifle?

    Its a great battle rifle. There are some ARs in the .308 realm finally able to outperform them. But even an "out of the box" match one is cheaper that the AR variants. If you ever want to see a scientific comparison between battle rifles, check out Boston's Gun Bible. Its and excellent book...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST vs. Leupold Mk 4.

    I have both now. I feel the Vortex is a better value. Vortex owners get the VIP CS kinda like Leupold so CS is about the same. I have a Razor HD and it is very clear and crisp. I love it. It was the only scope that could offer me all the options I wanted with no sacrifice for $2000. To get...

    Neck Bulging on Once Fired Hornady 308 Match Brass

    Diddo on the Lee Factory Crimp die. What happeded with your .223 loads that you had to crimp? Just curious because I don't crimp .223 only .308.

    Neck Bulging on Once Fired Hornady 308 Match Brass

    Yep, good reccomendation. Neck sizing only works if the brass was previously fired in the intended chamber.

    Neck Bulging on Once Fired Hornady 308 Match Brass

    Get a L.E Wilson Case Length Headspace Gage and see if your loaded ammo fits. If not, then you have a relaod problem, if so then you have a gun problem. look at it here http://www.midwayusa.com/product/880646/le-wilson-case-length-headspace-gage-308-winchester

    Suppressors What 22 Pistol cycles best with a can

    I have a SilencerCo Sparrow. I have used it on a Sig Mosquito and a Ruger 22/45. Both worked great but the 22/45 is a far more accurate gun. It's really amazing. The Sig had a few problems cycling cheap ammo without the suppressor. But with the suppressor those problems dissappeared because...

    m1a build recommendations

    jsnspck "I have also never had to use the semiauto feature of the rifle while deer hunting. I doubt anyone ever does. If you are hog hunting this may be a different story, but I have never pulled the trigger twice." Don't mention that to Joe Biden. ;) The M1A is a battle rifle...

    lwrc worth the money ?

    I agree with your comment on shtf. That's the original reason why I bought a Bushmaster which was my first AR. Now that I have the LWRC though, I think I'll put the Bushmaster up for sale. I think the proprietary part issue can be solved if you order an extra parts kit from LWRC. I think the...

    Gunsmithing Cleaning Crown Carbon???

    No, I used to be in that part until I retired and moved way up North. The hunting is better down there, sure miss it.. rockchucks, whistlepigs, coyotes, rabbits, birds, dear, elk. It had it all. We just have deer, elk, a smidge of rockchucks and maybe a wandering coyote once in a while.

    lwrc worth the money ?

    I know, yo are right of course. I just picked that load to start out with to see what she can do. I only had it two days when I shot this. I plan to do a OCW workup soon. I'll post the results.
