    I wasn't sure if this should go here or in the pistol section. I'm thinking about buying one of these. It looks like a pretty well made unit. I also like the matte stainless (all the other conversions out there seem to be blue). Anyone have one of these? Did it take a long time to break in...

    I just got around to installing my conversion today, got my press apart then realized I was missing the 'spent primer tube tool.' Is it threaded? Is it something I could use a bolt in place of?

    Gunsmithing ar-10 308 to .260 conversion?

    someone told me that a .260 round is just a necked down .308, so my question is: if that is a fact, to convert a regular ar-10 into a .260 would it only be necessary to change barrels? will the clips, bolt, buffer etc. stay the same?

    If a scopes adjustment is .5 MOA per 100 meters how do you compute that if all your shooting is done in yards? Did it just add another step to all your calculations?
