    New 224 valk barrel chamber length question

    So, got a new 224 valkyrie barrel to fit ar-15 platform. 24", 6.5tw, 5R, stainless. I am not naming the manufacture until I put it together and fire it. I have a 6.5 CR barrel from the same manufacturer that I am very happy with. My issue, if it is an issue, is that the chamber seems to be...

    Interesting timing

    Am I the only one who finds it the least bit curious that all we're starting to hear about now is an outbreak of monkey pox, and just on the cusp of D.C. attempting to turn over U.S. sovereignty to the WHO. Good thing Bill Gates warned us a year ago that there would be another virus headed our...

    LR 308 lpk with enhanced bolt catch

    I am gathering parts for a 6.5cm build on a LR 308 platform. Does anyone offer a lpk that has an enhanced bolt catch? I know I could buy one separately, but would prefer to get it with the kit if possible.

    advantage of extended gas length?

    Ok, right up front, I'll admit I have very little luck using the search function on here, so if this has been addressed, I apologize. I am looking to buy an lr-308 barrel in 6.5 creedmoor, and would like a better understanding of the effect the gas length has on the barrel or cartridge...

    High velocity "ftf" with my LR-308

    Went to the range today to work on some loads. Rifle is a DPMS LR-308, 24in, 1-10t. The loads were 178gr hornady A-Max, 42.8grs - 43.3grs varget, fc210m primers, LC 12 (1x). Anything that I shot that had a MV above 2600 fps resulted in a failure to feed. Also would not lock the bolt back after...

    Standard small pistol primers ok in ar-9?

    A friend of mine, who loads for and shoots an ar-9, asked me today if I knew of any issues with using standard small pistol primers in his ammo for his ar-9. I thought that was an interesting question, and had no good answer for him. With the whole floating firing pin thing, I guess the...

    Concerns with 300WM load

The rifle is a gen 3 Ruger RPR chambered in 300WM. 26 in barrel, 1-9 twist factory barrel with (at the time) less than 100 rds down the pipe. I had some Nosler 210gr RDF's that I had loaded up for...

    Mystery primers?

    So my brother tells me his neighbor brought him some mail that had accidentally been left in his mail box, a piece of which, was a dillon catalog. That began a discussion on reloading. The neighbor tells my brother he acquired some small pistol primers from his father, who had passed on. He...

    A rhetorical question

    I am finally going to pull the trigger (pun intended) on purchasing a muffler for my toys. The atf requires fingerprint cards and passport photos. To get the photos taken, I must go to a local pharmacy to have the picture taken. Being that the pharmacy is a public business, my King Roy cooper I...

    Help me understand......

    I truly believe trump cares about his supporters, and I'll admit that I'm not nearly as connected or in the know as some on here. Why hasn't there been a peep out of potus regarding the all-out assault on conservatives over the past week?Granted, it's been going on for a while, but it has ramped...

    Sidney Powell, WTF????

    Let me start by saying I have only heard bits and pieces of this story, so hopefully some of our more learned members can shed some more light on this. Why has Sidney Powell been separated from Trump's legal team? I just heard this, but have not seen anything "official".

    Ask yourself this........

    Don't know why this didn't occur to me before now, but why haven't the dems contested any of the states that Trump won outright? Possibly something about sleeping dogs? Just curious. :unsure:
