    Rifle Scopes M1A entry level scope

    Re: M1A entry level scope Kind of off subject and I apologize for this but would using a wolff recoil spring, vented gas plug, and recoil buffer help with this issue and also would a combination of these parts cause any problems with the rifle cycling?

    Rifle Scopes M1A entry level scope

    Re: M1A entry level scope That price is just for the optic itself. I plan on getting the Troy battle rail because I have heard that the majority of the receiver/side mounts always come loose. This may sound some what overkill for my needs but I would rather have too much support and make...

    Rifle Scopes M1A entry level scope

    Re: M1A entry level scope I plan to use it mostly for hunting but also some recreational target shooting. My budget is no more than $300

    Rifle Scopes M1A entry level scope

    I was wondering people's opinion on a good entry level hunting scope for a SA M1A since the action tends to knock everything around quite a bit. Thanks

    Which primer to use

    Re: Which primer to use Did no one read the rest of that sentence? I've used Sierra, 77gr OTM/MK262, when I was overseas. So not only did my friend say to stay away from them but also from personal experience. I hit a target 6 times in the chest and he kept advancin, so I would rather use a...

    Which primer to use

    Re: Which primer to use I said screw it and changed almost everything. Current is Lapua match .223 brass, Berger 70gr VLD, IMR 4895, and CCI BR4 primers. Going out in the morning to test it in my AR and my Mini-14. In the process of building a new upper as well.

    Which primer to use

    Re: Which primer to use A buddy of mine that reloads said stay away from sierra as much as possible plus my experience with them overseas left a bad taste in my mouth. I've had good results with hornady match rounds. I was at my wife's grandma's house talking about reloading and my wife's...

    Which primer to use

    Re: Which primer to use I tested a few today and shot 1.2" at 100 yards (H335, LC brass, and CCI 400 combo). Gonna change it up a little tomorrow. IMR 4895, LC brass, and CCI BR4 primers

    Which primer to use

    I am about to start loading some Berger 70gr VLD rounds in NATO brass and I'm going to use Hogden H335 powder. Which CCI primer should I use for best accuracy and reliability? I'm using a 16" 1:9 twist American Spirit Arms AR-15.

    Parts Question

    Kind of a dumb question but does anyone know if anyone makes an A1 or A2 style butt stock that will attach to a carbine style buffer tube. I'm in the process of building a rifle upper for my AR and prefer the fixed style for prone firing but don't want to have to change out the entire buffer system

    KX3

    So I put a KX3 on my short barrel and after 60 rounds it loosened up because the crush washer got too hot. This has never happened with my A2 flash hider. Any ideas? Thanks

    .22 suppressor on different rifles

    Re: .22 suppressor on different rifles That was my thought too. I guess I'll stick with the 10 until I can get my manufacturing license

    .22 suppressor on different rifles

    Re: .22 suppressor on different rifles Its an SRT typhoon. The only difference is the receiver themselves, the 10 is a YHM with an American Spirit barrel and the 16 is American Spirit on both the barrel and receiver

    .22 suppressor on different rifles

    Re: .22 suppressor on different rifles I used CCI stingers, CCI standard velocity, Remington subsonics, and Aguila super colibris

    .22 suppressor on different rifles

    I have built 2 different uppers for my AR. One is a 10.5" and the other is 16" and both are 1:9 twist. I was out playing around at my brother's place and for some reason the 16" was louder than the 10.5". Why would that be?

    MK 12

    Re: MK 12 White Oak has the best price I've seen so far and looks to be exactly what I'm looking for. Next question is (and this might make me sound like dumb ass) will it handle the MK262 round in the chamber?

    MK 12

    Thinking about mocking up a MK12 upper for my AR for longer range desert shooting and coyotes. My problem is that I can't find any barrels tighter than a 1:8 twist and my question is will a 20" barrel with a 1:8 twist stabilize a 77gr match grade bullet?

    Long Range AR Upper

    Re: Long Range AR Upper The deer on my lease usually don't get over 150 lbs. and because of the oil equipment it's pretty easy to get close to them. But as far as wanting to build something that can reach further than the 5.56, I want the distance for target shooting and the larger caliber...

    Long Range AR Upper

    Re: Long Range AR Upper To be honest I would prefer to stay under $1000 and as much of a pain in the ass it is to install a barrel, I did enjoy building the rifle I have now. I looked into Alexander Arms and I am thinking of getting the barrel from them
