I have had a lot of Faxon barrels and they have all shot great. Faxon makes that 2A Creedmoor barrel.

Got my 6.5 Creedmoor with 20" 2A Arms (Faxon) barrel down to 4.9 pounds. I like the rifle length gas system better than the previous mid length gas.. Would cost a lot more $$$$ to get it much lighter.

I was boored so I purchased a 2A 20" Creedmoor barrel, was 4 ounces LESS than the Faxon 18" barrel. Did some other magic and got the weight of the rifle down to 4.9pounds.

Midsouth Shooters Supply has all the Leupold Mark AR scopes on sale now between $70 to over $100 off

Shot yesterday, 90 degrees and winds less than 5 MPH. Used a box of Federal 95 grain Hornady Varmint ammo. Best group was .75 inches, but 5 inches from the bullseye LOL. The left right adjustment knob on my expensive Viper scope just spun, in fact actually came off in my hand. Rifle woked great...

There is no such thing as a true light weight scope in 30MM. Same with a 50mm objective. Leupold weights are usually right on. There are others who lie thru their pie hole. Like the 30 MM Sightmark 6-35 power they claimed weighed 15 ounces, actual weight was 38 ounces! I can say from...

Josh, The AR Mod 1 is made in several powers, all you have to do is Google

My favorite scope is the Leupold Mark AR MOD 1 Rifle Scope 6-18x 40mm 1/10 Mil Adjustments Adjustable Objective Matte. Unfortunately it is discontinued. You might be able to find one though. List was $750, Optics Planet has 14 left @ $449. You get free shipping and many times you can get a 10...

Just got confirmation the 95 grain Hornady rounds from Federal are finally in at Midsouth. $18.20 for the federal vs. $26 for the Hornady with the same bullets. Also Form3D had the titanium pistol grips with black ceracote blemish for only $64, weighs a huge 1.1 ounces. I got mine and couldn't...

Finally shot today before the winds got over 25 MPH and the rain came. Slightly different configuration with a PDW buffer tube and a Rogers Super Stock. Using a 0.9 ounce buffer without weights. I was shooting in 20-25 MPH winds from the right, using factory Hornady 147 ELDM ammo. Took me 18...

After dozens of AR rifle builds including a 2.85 pound AR15 in 556 and a 3.9 pound AR308, I have concluded THERE is NO SUCH THING AS Carrier/buffer bounce in a Semi Auto AR rifle. I haven't used a buffer with any weights in them in nearly 4 years. Have a bunch of empty AR15 buffers @ 0.95 ounces...

Just ordered 5 boxes of Federal with 95 grain Hornady V Max bullets, only $18.36 each, much less than the Hornady and the CC 95 grain ammo with Hornady 95 grain V Max bulletsl

Just found out Federal is loading Hornady 95 grain V Max for the 6.5 Creedmoor. Federal Hornady 95 grain V Max On back order already but at under $19 a box and only $2 a box for shipping a great deal. At least to start out I can order 2 boxes of the Federal 95 grain for the price on one CC and...

I like what they did on that upper. I have built five 224 Valkyrie uppers now. I like they used a rifle length gas system. Like that they didn't thread the muzzle, the Val is the first AR that I don't think needs any muzzle device very low recoil. I take the barrel is Wilson and not Wilson...

I use the PTG for lapping all my large frame uppers. But some uppers don't need much, my 2A Xanthos uppers needed 3 seconds, while cheaper ones needed a lot more. I like the PTG, doesn't come with a flex coupling which isn't needed at all.

I still am using a couple of their load development packs from when the 178 ELD-X in 308 first came out. Their products are very high quality, like Black Hills quality.

Not that I wouldn't love to shoot at 1000 yards or greater. I just don't have easy access to long ranges and I am getting old and eyes just aren't making it now. My strongest scope is a FFP 35 power, most are 24 power scopes. Great for 100 yards as I can read the target and see every point of...

Great Article from Zedicker at CTD AR-15 Tech: Extraction and Ejection Tips and Tricks http://blog.cheaperthandirt.com/ar-1...n-tips-tricks/

I built the worlds first 5.5 pound AR308 back in 2015, then the first 4.9 pound AR308 (16" fluted barrel) and my lightest now weighs 3.9 pounds with a Faxon 16" 308 barrel. Shoots sub MOA for the first 5 shots, under 1 MOA with 10 rounds of 175 SMKs.I just don't shoot 25 shot strings. I would...
