I am running my suppressor more and more on my ARs, M1A, and Bolt action rifles. I have already fixed the gas blowback on my M1A by installing a gas shield (from a blank firing adapter kit). As far as the gas blowback on my ARs are concerned, i just wanted to ask what everyone else's opinions...

great info, Cpl Norton. Yes that was what I had heard and that they prefered the Army's rifle setup better. But knowing how shoddy the old reports were, you may be right as to what they were actually referring to. I had always thought that the Marines preference for the Army's sniper setup was...

my only real preference for using the 8x scope on the model 70 as opposed to the 1903, is that from everything I have read and heard the 1903 doesn't perform as well as the model 70 did. I have read numerous reports of the model 70 when paired with the 8x scope being a great rifle. plus most of...

I do see your point, Cpl Norton.

thank you. at this stage I will probably go with mounting the 8x scope on a winchester model 70 and mount the 1903 with a M73B1. but I will keep my eyes and ears open. i will also check out the books mentioned. always love reading first hand accounts of historical sniping.

i am looking to build a period accurate retro sniper rifle using the Malcolm 8x USMC sniper scope. I got the chance to use this scope about 6 months ago (mounted on a 1903 springfield) and i loved the look and feel of it. I have seen numerous pictures of this scope and the originals mounted on...

I have been seeing a lot of posts and suggestions for people recommending the Vortex Razor 4.5-27 for PRS matches. What reticles are people running? Pros and cons?

I am looking to get started into the precision rifle competitions. I have decided to start out with the Ruger PRS in 6.5 creedmoor. i have decided a nightforce ATACR optic with the Mil-c reticle. I have been using Nightforce for a while and have no issues, plus I am comfortable with the optics...

I just noticed a lot of PRS competition shooters that still used 308 have 24" barrels. I prefer the shorter 20" barrels for maneuverability, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't sacrificing anything in accuracy and tighter groupings in longer ranges by choosing the 20" barrel. I have read a...

How much value is there in having a bolt action 308 with a 24" barrel as opposed to a 20" barrel?

I know that gibbsrifle.com offers newly made firing replica 1903-A4 Springfield Sniper Rifles and Mauser.org offers very fine Mosin Sniper Rifles. Does anyone know where I can purchase a good Mauser 98k Sniper rifle or an British Enfield BSA M47 No4 #4 Mk1 Sniper rifle? i know I can probably...

yes i plan to run a suppressor

I am looking to purchase either a Larue Tactical OBR or a JP Enterprises LRP-07 both with 16" barrel and in 308. I am just wanting to hear some pros and cons of both rifles. i have read nothing but good things about both rifles and companies. Both are said to be accurate, durable, and...

I am looking to purchase a good AR-10. I have narrowed down my choices to the Larue OBR 7.62 with a 16" barrel and the JP Enterprises LRP-07 with a 16" barrel. I have heard nothing but good things about both of these rifles and the companies. I have heard that both rifles are capable of sub moa...

I see on FN's website they have a 10" replacement barrel called the CQC, but they don't list a price on that or anything else. Does anyone know how much they are or who sells them? Also is anyone running a 10" CQC barrel on a Scar 16s?

I know this is not considered a sniper rifle, but I am hoping to get some info anyways. Bushmaster goes on and on about how you can change barrels and calibres in seconds but doesn't sell any of those parts to do that, at least not on the website. Does anyone know what is going on? Is this just...

That's what I was thinking too. I think the flash hider would work best with a semi auto and the brake is best for a bolt action. i plan to contact the company and get their opinion.

I am looking to get the 7.62 SpecWar suppressor for a good (some say the best) multi-calibre suppressor. I intend to use this both for my Larue 7.62 OBR, several .223 AR15s, and my Remington 700 .308 bolt action rifle. I know that they offer both a muzzle brake and flash hider for the suppressor...

well i intend to call the class 3 gun shops first. lol. no need to trouble the atf if i don't have to.

I went to ATF.gov, but couldn't find any answers. There really should be some kind of online database for questions such as this. I plan to call my local ATF field division as well as a few local class 3 gun shops and ask them. So hopefully I can nail down any questions. I will post my findings...
