    Rifle Scopes Spuhr Caps

    Just got a Spuhr 34mm 4616 QDP. Caps are labeled differently - A40 and A41. The instructions don’t mention a difference. Is there a difference?

    Geissele SSA-E and TriggerTech AR10 in LRP-07 **ISSUE RESOLVED _ SEE LAST POST**

    I want to replace the stock 3.5-4# JP roller trigger on my LRP-07 with one that has a lower trigger pull, and have tried both the standard two-stage SSA-E and the TriggerTech which has a reverse two-stage. I've run into problems with both of them: The TT failed the safety function test despite...

    Modifying A&D FX-120 Draft Shields

    I've noticed in various pix of the Autotrickler/Autothrow that some users have modified the draft shields of the FX-120 scale. The most common mod appears to be a hole in the right shield for the trickler tube. It also looks like some have cut the front shield in half vertically. I'd like to...

    Newbie Question on Load Development for Gas Gun

    I've had a good deal of experience developing loads for precision bolt action rifles but have been very frustrated in developing a load for my newly acquired JP LRP-07. I expected that both shooting and loading for a gas gun would be more complex than for a bolt action rifle and that was...

    Modular Trigger on JP LRP-07

    I'm thinking about replacing the standard single stage component trigger on my LRP-07 with a TriggerTech AR10 modular fire control unit. Reasons: I prefer a two-stage pull for precision fire, a lighter pull than 3.5-4# and a flat curved trigger bar as opposed to the roller supplied with the...

    Feedback on XLR TR-2 Buttstock

    I'm thinking about putting this stock on a JP LRP-07. I'd like to hear from anyone that uses this stock on an AR or as part of XLR's chassis. I'm particularly interested in how solid the cheekpiece feels and whether there is any noticeable flex in the top of the buttplate (which is not supported...

    Loading 6.5CM for A Semi Auto

    After many years of reloading and shooting BA rifles exclusively, I acquired a JP LRP-07 in 6.5CM and need some advice in getting started reloading for it. There are some obvious differences in loading for a BA vs SA rifle, including: -Optimal powder charge is not determined by chrono data and...

    How to Choose Scope Mount for AR10

    I recently purchased a JP LRP-09 and am in the process of selecting a mount for the ATACR 4-16 scope I plan to use on it. My past experience with mounts and rings has been exclusively with bolt action rifles, and I've realized that little of that experience seems to translate to selecting a...

    Fired or Sized Case When Measuring COAL

    I use a Sinclair tool to measure max COAL and calculate max CBTO. The instructions say to use a fired case and that's what I've always done. It occurred to me recently that a fire formed/cleaned/annealed/sized case might provide a more accurate value since such a case would fit the chamber and...

    Change in Brass = Increased Pressure?

    I have a go-to 308 load using Lapua brass - Varget 43.5/-030 jump/BR2/175SMK - that yields 2700fps MV through my 22" Gradous barrel. SDs are usually 8-10 and 3 to 5 shot groups under 0.5". I've heard some good things about Alpha brass so I thought I'd try them. Before loading the new Alpha cases...

    AR-15 Gas Piston Conversion Kit

    I've been thinking about converting my home built mid-length AR15 to gas piston, using a conversion kit as opposed to a new GP upper. There seem to be several popular conversion kits on the market. Is there any consensus of opinion as to the "best" one, or is it a matter of Silverado vs F150 vs...

    Rifle Scopes Scope and Mounts for Large Frame Precision AR

    I need some advice selecting a scope and mount for an LPR-07 AR type precision semi-auto. All my prior experience has been with bolt action rifles and two-piece fixed scope mounts. In the AR world though, there seem to be a lot of QD uni-mounts and short scopes used. I've wondered if one of the...

    Reloading 6.5CM for the JP LRP-07

    I'm expecting my JP LRP-07 in a couple weeks and would like to get a start on reloading some ammo for it. So some questions for those of you who have been reloading 6.5CM for this rifle: Are small base dies actually required for trouble-free functioning? JP recommends them for all their...

    Tripod and Head for Terrapin X

    I'm eagerly awaiting a Terrapin X which will be my first laser rangefinder. It just occurred to me that I should probably have a solid mount to get the best results from the LRF but after looking at a variety of models of tripods/heads, I'm totally confused. The tripod itself is pretty...

    "Best" Semi-Auto Precision Rifle

    I know this may be like Silverado vs F150 or Bud vs Coors but I'm interested in adding a 6.5CM/308 semi-auto precision rifle to my bolt action guns. I'm sure this question has been asked before but I'd like any input into what constitutes the "best" semi-auto PR in terms of accuracy, ergonomics...

    I've tried numerous times to contact Jason Christian at JEC Customs regarding a refund he owes me for a brake I returned (with his approval) five months ago. His phone goes to voicemail and he doesn't return voicemails, emails or messages through his website. I'm posting this on several forums...

    Load Development in High Ambient Temperatures

    I tried to do an OCW (H4350/6.5CM) yesterday when the ambient temp here in the NV desert was mid-high 90's. I've done OCWs in the past when temps where more "normal" (60-80) and not encountered any problems related to environmental conditions. I was blown away yesterday by the inconsistent POI...
