Anyone have suggestions on how to remove a broke. Allen key from inside a Gas Block set screw? I Stupidly tried to remove my gas block with a Ball End Hex Key and the Ball broke off inside the screw. I have gotten the ball “un-stuck” to where it will move around inside the screw, rotates back...

I am trying to remove a SureFire 3 Prong flash hider from my Geissele 11.5” Super Duty Upper and for the life of me can’t get it to budge. I have tried heating it with a torch, I have tried soaking it in water for about 36 hours part of which was boiling hot water, I have tried hammering on the...

Anyone here running a Curtis Vector or Terminus Zeus in 6BR based cases in a MDT ACC with AW mags? I had my Curtis 6BRA in a KRG W3 and just couldn’t get it to feed right so I gave up and took it out of the KRG and put it in a Foundation Stock just to have it in something and of course it seems...

Being somewhat new to precision reloading I was thinking about the never ending list of variables that go into creating good loads and it made me curious about what more experienced loaders thought was the hardest part of making good ammo so I figured I would start a little poll. So, what do...

I’m starting out with 6BRA and have been trying to do velocity testing to find a load range with a decent velocity flat spot but I am not finding any. I have done it shooting singles of each charge wait, I have done it shooting 3 of each charge weight, and don’t see much of a flat spot. Most...

Technically not a reloading question since I am looking to see if Prime’s 6 Creedmoor 115 RDF would work in my fun, I figured this is the best place for the question. Does anyone know the minimum/optimal freebore for a 6 Creedmoor to run the 115 RDF’s? I have a .109” Freebore which works great...

Anybody here have the KRG Arca Forend? The one that has the Arca built in and is all metal rather than the plastic Forend with Arca Rail bolted to it. I’m curious how you like it and if it stiffened up the Forend? The thing that concerns me is the reduced protection for the mags in the front...

I have a new rifle that is too long for my current drag bag so I need to get another one, but I can’t decide if I want to get a Tac Ops or Eberlestock drag bag, or if I want to get a Backpack/Scabbard Type Setup like the Eberlestock Operator or Phantom or maybe the Hazard 4 Overwatch? I know the...

Whose “prefits”/shouldered & chambered barrels are Curtis Vector owners running? Gonna be a 26” 6mm Creedmore M24 or MTU contour. PVA has a 16 week plus lead time so I have been looking at a Krieger from Keystone Accuracy, Proof Stainless Barrel from Straight Jacket Armory or possibly a...

I am putting together a long range shooting/beginner PRS setup with a Tikka T3 using a Murphy Precision Socpe Rail & ARC M10 Rings and have read about scope base bedding and understand the idea behind it and during the checking out of the base I found there is a TINY bit of gap when I snug only...

Before I get tagged for re-posting, I did multiple searches and none of them covered my questions! I use the Smooth-Kote & BP2000 on my barrels and like it, and I have read that you can use them on your slides, semi-auto bolt carriers, actions, bolts, triggers, etc. as a dry lube replacement for...

Before people tell me to do a search for this I did, and none of the results cover my questions. I currently use the Smooth-Kote & BP2000 on my barrels, but I have read that you can also use these to replace oil on your slides,actions,bolts and even trigger parts so that you have a dry lubricant...

I am planning on getting a Lucas bore guide but have a couple questions before I do. I know that the guides are made to fit the specific chamber size, but are they made so that a .308Win bore guide is the same for all .308Win. chambers? Is the only difference the length of the guide? Or are they...

I am planning to do some Cerakoting and was wondering if anyone could reccomend what they use to degrease? And has anyone coated any plastic parts? Brownells says that for plastic/polymer pieces a 200 degree 2 hour cure is adequate, will most parts hold up at that temp? When doing plastics...

Can I use a small toaster oven type oven to bake on my cerakote? I know that at the surface it sounds like a stupid question but for some reason food tastes a little different when baked in a toaster oven so I was just wondering if anyone has tried this before I do it and ruin my gun. The only...

can anyone reccomend a small,inexpensive blasting gun to use for blasting a couple guns to be Cerakote'd exclusively? I am hoping to find something between $20-$30 like you can get at Harbor Freight but am wondering if anyone has tried them so I don't end up frustrated and stuck with a worthless...

I am planning on Cerakoting a couple guns but I was wondering if it is possible to prep without sand blasting? Can I just use a coarse Scoth-Brite pad or something of that sort? I don't have a blaster and don't want to have to spend a ton of money on a blaster and hvlp gun for the two or three...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the air cure version of Cerakote? Is the application any different? How does it hold up? Also, since it doesn't require heating can it be used on polymer parts? Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated. I looked through the forums and did...
