    Given the same load and same length barrel, how much muzzle velocity would you say is lost shooting a round through a ar-10 platform vs a bolt rig. No adjustable gas block on the 10. Anyone's experience would be awesome. Thanks to all

    Gunsmithing HELP!! Burr in chamber

    I have a new rifle that was just finished being built, and after firing through the break in process, I have noticed that every last piece of brass has a ding in it in the exact same spot.
