AR suppressor problem

I think a lot of suppressed ARs benifit from an A5 length buffer system. If you do not change to an A5 system, the next thing I'd do is add a lot of buffer weight(probably a slash). I know this goes against what some say but the heavier buffer causes the mentioned "problems" typically when paired with stiffer springs. The extra spring tension is what typically causes the issues.

Realistically, an adjustable gas block, heavier buffer, and spring change would be the most flexible combination of parts that would help solve all the issues. But you could first try the heavy buffer. Then spring change. Then add the gas block.

Sierra Precision Grip Mod

The Sierra Precision Grip is probably my favorite grip for a precision AR but one of the drawbacks is that the inside of the grip is hollow and it's weirdly shaped so there were really no options for storage. I decided to do something about that so I brainstormed some ideas and what I came up with was to cannibalize a grip that did have storage and figure out a way to graft that on to the SPR grip.

I had a Magpul K2 XL that I ended up not really liking much so it became the sacrifice for this project so I started hacking and basically left myself with this relatively small portion, basically the latch recess and "strut guide".

The remainder piece was still too wide to fit so I had to whittle it down and hog out some of the interior of the SPR grip using everyone's favorite tool, a Dremel.

Once I got it to the point the door was flush with the bottom I held it in place with a couple dots of super glue so I could prep it for epoxy.

I'll need to clean up the excess tomorrow so it's flush with the bottom and maybe splash it with some paint for touch up.

What's the deal with "Aid to Ukraine?"

The single best option for you and your countrymen at the moment is to put one in Z's grape. Should have happened years ago. End the puppet.

If it's any consolation you're one of millions who has swallowed the narrative that Russia can and will be defeated.

The longer this continues the worse the outcome will be for Ukraine.

Millions of lives lost and destroyed, your leaders and the globalists have declined every possible offramp and instead chosen to reinforce failure at every opportunity.

It's of no use questioning the why's of how you've ended up at this point, or bleating over slights and injustices. No one is coming to save you, face the reality you're confronted with.

I'm not a cheerleader for Putin but this is the factual situation Ukraine is in.

Zero press Gen2

At least on mine, with SAC dies if they touch the shell plate, I get almost 75k of sizing past where I need to be. Been debating about putting they die in the lathe.
If you’re getting 0.075” excess shoulder bump over your goal (with firm die-to-shellholder contact), you definitely don’t want to trim your die with a lathe. That will make matters worse. Your die is out of spec. You can back the die out ‘til you find the correct shoulder bump but it’s likely the case will not get sized correctly at the base .200 line.

Tac Ops Rifles

I got my first TacOps used with an unknown round count. This is the last set of 5-shot groups I printed at 100yds with FGMM before I sold it because I needed some money.

You really can’t go wrong unless it’s really shot out or has been neglected.
I really want to get another.
Were you fresh out of kidneys, blood plasma, your off side aiming eye?

300 yard consistency

My aggs have nothing to do with the tuner…. In fact no tuner at all was one of the better “settings.” The hundred yard groups had .9-1.0” vertical if I recall correctly. If the tuner worked I would see a better mean radius and I would be able to repeat it. If a tuner works at 200 it works at 50 and 100…… I shoot out to 600yd sometimes at 36” plates with pretty good success.
If you follow the steps you will see a difference. As far as repeatability, well you know 22s are condition dependent. What works @ 70° may fall apart at 90°. I have not played with the settings at different temps as of yet.

Have had see good results. It's like anything else, you get out of it what you put in it.

Everything shot at 50 yards.

Red circle is 10 rds nothing but barrel. Took the tightest groups and worked the settings.

These are 5 rd groups. Ran out of daylight, stop it there. Never went back to try to fine tune it more than what it is. Work 60+ hours a week and shooting matches when possible doesn't leave me as much testing time as I would like. Most of any free time I get, is watching my little guy play ball.
