I took this class last year at Rifles Only in Texas. EXCELLENT instruction!

Oh, I'm getting warmed up to this one.....

what he's talking about is that BM guns haven't been known to withstand too many severe rigors... specifically, the redundancy that is built into a lot of 'top tier' manufacturers simply aren't there (again, historically speaking) into a BM gun. Things such as staking the end plate to the...

I use a Gemtech Trek on a 16" 'semi-precision' gun. The gas system is a midlength, and I've increased the buffer weight so that I don't beat up the gun too much. I really like mine, and I've walked all around Colorado and Texas shooting at critters with it.

what is the carbine course? Is it a basic beginner's course, somethign that you're going to run around with, or something that has been steered towards the 3-gunners/competition shooters? I attended my first course with iron sights and an army issue nylon sling. I learned a crap ton about how...

I didn't know you were 'operating' in Baghdad. Kunar, perhaps?

I disagree that an Law Enforcement Officer is my protection. An LEO serves as the investigative arm of the judicial system. Investigate crimes, gather evidence, and present it to the DA for prosecution. Hence the title "Law Enforcement Officer" and not "Citizen Protection Officer". Wearing...

That is your opinion. I believe we'll just have to agree to disagree on some of the finer points in your words, as it is not possible for me to comment further without being a jerk. I think we both can agree, though, that when it comes to something as a multi-thousand dollar purchase, a smart...

unless they are extending that same courtesy (the 'We Got Your Back' program) to the rest of us lowly citizens, then that might also be something to consider when making a decision to purchase a gun. To me, I don't just purchase an item.. I purchase a company.

This is the entirety of the post to which I was referring.

Thanks! 355sigfan 's post could be interpreted to imply differently (especially when directly comparing JP's policy), hence my question. I guess going down the rabbit hole of the publicly stated motivations of either company could delve into the realm of politics. That's a fine line...

What's the reason for this?

NOW its time to get the popcorn!

I had the same issue, almost exactly: .223 Wylde from Rainier Arms, carbine gas system, FTE on M855. My fix was to break the rifle in. I shot some steel cased plinker stuff through it, and it has worked fine since then. I chalked that one up as 'the barrel/BCG combo had to wear themselves in'.

Here's the Sanity Check: If you want precision, get the match grade barrel. LMT sells a pretty decent match grade .308 barrel. Learn all about it here: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-semi-auto-rifles/46635-lmt-308-mws.html (This is a sticky at the top of the semi-auto forum.)...

I load a tangent-profiled bullet (123gr Nosler CC or 120 AMAX). This allows me to seat off the lands where the gun likes it and still maintain an OAL that fits in a PMAG.

123 gr Nosler CC 41.0 gr H4350 Fed 210 Primer LC LR 12 Brass necked down and then neck turned this gives me 2695fps without the can and 2710 with the can. ETA: the gun is an LMT MWS with a factory 20" stainless .260 barrel.
