    Am I just trash with an AR?

    You should probably try a Quigly Ford. A dude slinging some concrete once told me that they were the best.

    Am I just trash with an AR?

    I agree that the shooting hand can play a big roll. I've decided that I like having complete control of the gun with the thumb wrapped around the grip. Three fingers pulling back into the grip/shoulder can pretty quickly turn into slipping and dangling on a grip with any kind of angle. But I'd...

    Does Mile high have the best customer service?

    Ive had mixed CS but I think that it's more based on the indavidual and the day they're having. I think their practices have gotten a bit more standardized moving to the new building. With that said the dudes are generally just like us. They get excited about sweet gear, are happy to show you...

    Precision Rifle Gear Using Hornady HIT indicators? How are you attaching them?

    I'm not saying you're wrong. Just thought it was funny that you mentioned that and I was given back a unit that just lasted a ridiculous amount of time in the elements. I'm sure, like anything, there are probably a lot of factors that determine battery life for these things.

    Precision Rifle Gear Using Hornady HIT indicators? How are you attaching them?

    Funny you say that because a friend just came by for dinner and gave me a HIT indicator that was shot off in the fall. The snow just melted and they found it near the targets. Obviously was not tuned off and has not been charged.

    LMT Barrel conversion review and accuracy report, before conversion vs. after D Wilson conversion

    I have a similar report. Just got my barrel back maybe a week ago but took it out yesterday. I didn't shoot a lot but the accuracy held. I was hesitant with this barrel to begin with but it seems to have gotten sorted out. Pre- conversion Post- convention It was pretty windy and...

    Best Budget .30 can

    I've got a OCL 5.56 Polonium K that I really like. Back pressure seems to be pretty high but I'm happy with the can. I'm sure the .30 Cal version would be just as good. I think that OCL has become the standard for traditional baffle cans that don't need to be Ti and just need to supress an AR...

    7-6.5 PRC

    Yeah, a little. I'm sure I wrote about it somewhere but it was just a standard drill bit with the die chucked up on the lathe. Can't remember what the diameter was to begin with but it was something like .004" less than fired neck diameter.

    Am I just trash with an AR?

    That's wild. I think we can all agree that in general a decent barrel with good bullets, good brass, and a consistent powder charge should shoot 1 MOA or under. Again, I'm not familiar with gas guns but that seems reasonable. All I was hoping for was 1.25". I hear this a lot. And it's was what...

    Am I just trash with an AR?

    No, different bullet. 69 smk vs 77 smk.

    Am I just trash with an AR?

    I have never seen a barrel go from 5.5" to 0.6" I was about to order a new barrel but glad I tried the 77gr SMK. I'll run more through it before sending it off.

    Precision Rifle Gear Using Hornady HIT indicators? How are you attaching them?

    I think it'll work, this target wasn't the best test as the steel was hung out pretty far but it did protect it and didn't let any spalling to get embedded into the plastic. This was 30 rounds at about 30 ish yards.

    Am I just trash with an AR?

    Update. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I made two changes. First, I changed the B5 bravo out for the Magpul DT PR. I felt much more stable and the gun had a predictable recoil impulse straight back. Second, I tried a couple more types of bullets. This is really where the...

    Precision Rifle Gear Using Hornady HIT indicators? How are you attaching them?

    Ya, I've had the same issue with the Caldwell though (even with a 6.5CM at a mile). If I was hosting a match I'd be a bit more concerned. I mostly like these for new shooters and for my kids. My wife says every time I go to scheels I buy more lol. So $0.50 is cheap insurance. I'll post about...

    Precision Rifle Gear Using Hornady HIT indicators? How are you attaching them?

    Here's my attempt. I'll see if I can blast it with some 5.56 tomorrow. just a scuffed with 400 grit and some rubbing alcohol. The bend is just because. All buttons and ports are still accessible (has anyone actually charged one twice?).

    Precision Rifle Gear Using Hornady HIT indicators? How are you attaching them?

    This thread has been in the back of my mind since it was posted. I've ordered some adhesive steel plates off amazon. My wife's got one on the back of her phone and it sticks on really well. I imagine this will increase the life span. It was $8.99 for 16pc. I'll test single and doubled up.

    Am I just trash with an AR?

    I do have 3 ARs I can play with. This is my first precision AR. If you're right, things should sort themselves out with the full LMT build. I'm going to see if I can figure it out before spending the money on the D.wilson conversion. I'll report back once I change some crap and test some...

    Am I just trash with an AR?

    Exactly. I've never shot a 4" group let alone 6"+ I haven't ruled the equipment out but I don't want to be that guy. I've been shooting and reloading for a while now and this is a new low lol. I'm all for learning though.

    Am I just trash with an AR?

    I think you're right. I really try to practice my fundamentals but I don't think the bolt guns are telling the full story. Although I still shoot my 300 NM decently. It's an SSAE, however I also have a MBT2S that seems to be a bit more crisp. I did try both with and without a crimp. I'll get...

    Am I just trash with an AR?

    The stickers are just under 1". It is a 4-16 ATACR @16x. I don't have any issues seeing the target and felt good about POA throughout. The mount is a 1.54" and I generally have more contact with the stock, so cheekweld could be an issue but I'd assume parallax adjustment would solve that (?)...
