Its not Ceracoat. I used Duracoat. I wish I had the proper equipment to use Ceracoat since its more durable but I dont. From my experience with Duracoat ive found it to be decently durable. The only problem ive ever had with duracoat is when using a strong chemical bore cleaner, it ate the...

My first AR build is black metal with FDE furniture. To be honest, im not that fond of it. Everybody and their grandmother is going through a FDE phase.

I cant think of the exact brand off hand, but I bought it at walmart in sporting goods. It cost around $40, so I didnt mind trying it out. Its actually brighter than my $120 streamlight I have mounted on another AR15. It also has a strobe function that I really like. I usually stay away from...

Here is another AR15 I built for varmint purposes. I mounted a Simmons 4x12 scope on top and a LED light on the side. Surprisingly this gun doesnt feel very heavy despite the additions. I went with Simmons as a budget scope. They are affordable, reliable, and have crystal clear glass...

Thanks for the kind reply's. Im really happy with how it turned out. Once I started building these AR rifles its like an addiction. I cant stop. They truly are Barbies for men lol

Thanks. Hopefully next weekend I will get some good range time with it.

Just finished building another AR. This is the 3rd one in the past couple months. It has to be my favorite so far. I focused on cost and weight for this build. Im in around $800 not including the EOTech. It weighs in at 6.5lbs unloaded and without the EOTech. I have not shot it yet, but I...

Thanks. I was very surprised by the accuracy. I adjusted half an inch left after that group to put it dead center. This gun shoots as good or better than my R700 Varmint .308 which has more invested into it.

I recently bought some Remington bore cleaner to use on my rifles, and while it does a FANTASTIC job of cleaning the bore it also ate the duracoat from the muzzle of my rifle. I noticed a few areas on the action where the duracoat appeared to be "chipping" but it was from the bore cleaner...

My father owns a Remington 700 7mm-08 that he uses for deer season. I noticed that the gun wouldn't group at all shooting sometimes 3-4 inches at 100 yards. The factory trigger on the gun has a pull of around 6 pounds, which is absolutely ridiculous! I bought a Timney trigger for his gun and...

Im working on that. There arent many places for me to shoot that far. I do know of a 800 yards bench rest range but its about 1 1/2 hr away. I might have to head down there one weekend.

I searched on Atomic's website and stumbled across the powder used. They claim its Hodgdon powder. So its probably Varget? Also, the brass is Nato 7.62x51, so I hope it wont be any more of a challenge to reload nato brass as I have heard. As it stands I have around 200 of this brass.

I tried the 168 AMAX in my rifle and it wouldn't group at all. Im completely baffled by this. I have seem numerous people rave about the accuracy they get with AMAX, so I had to try it. The atomic ammo is right at home in my gun which is why im curious to see what its loaded with. Both the...

would anybody happen to know the load info for the atomic ammo?

UPDATE: I finally found a box of Hornady 168gr AMAX. I am very disappointed about this ammunition. This stuff is supposed to be the next best to handloads or thats what ive been told. I could not get this stuff to group at all. I fired 3 shots of my Atomic (value) ammo directly after and...

Im currently working on my first AR 15 build. Im building this gun for medium range shooting and possibly small game. I currently have a CMMG M4 with EOTech 512 that I use for home defense and plinking. The lower I used on this gun was a MAG Tactical Systems lower that I bought at my...

Yes sir, I shot that using Atomic ammo. If I can shoot a .5moa group like that using atomic ammo consistently as I have done, what does that say about my rifle? I wonder what I can do with custom loads? My rifle feels very good when shooting. I didnt get to shoot 500 yards today like I had...

Thanks for the reply's. Today im going to try my first 500 yard shot. According to my ballistics calculations, my bullet is going to drop around 65 inches. Hopefully the wind will have some mercy on me. I will post the results when I get back tonight.

Remington 700 SPS Varmint .308 I bought this Remington 700 earlier this year and its intended use was for target shooting. After reading the boards for awhile I decided the first thing to do was change the stock. The factory stock is cheap and hurts accuracy. I replaced it with a Bell and...
