Pin and weld suppressor?

Probably a bit late of a reply to be useful, but just in case.

Titanium is a pain in the ass to work with all the way around. It’s supposed to be welded in a sealed chamber, as I recall. Though you might be able to get away with not for something as simple as a pin and weld, because you’re really not doing much there.

And it’s a pain to machine as well. The chips are flammable like magnesium. And it’ll break drill bits if you don’t know what you’re doing with it. And the cutting speeds for titanium are pretty slow.

If you’re not experienced, and don’t have access to the proper equipment it’s going to eat your lunch.

Yeah, I get it. The whole idea of going light on the can was bad from the start.

I've been messing with ARs for better than a couple of decades now and it remains my favorite platform. They are just downright fun to shoot and get the job done.

... but once, just once, I'd like my to be able to have my cake and eat it too. All I want is a 12.5 barrel that gets me 3000 fps with 55gr ammo, with a 4", 4oz can to keep my ears from bleeding that runs smoothly, topped off with a 1-10x lpvo that is tough, with a good 1x, a good 10x, daylight bright illumination and a reticle that scales properly and comes in at 21oz with the mount. If I could have that, I'd only need one rifle. Am I asking too much? Lol.

Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

The fact is we agree that it sucks that happened to you. We mostly agree they should have given you the pre-paid label. What we have an issue with is the sitting there saying it will never work right and everyone should shout at the sky with me!
Again yes it sucks, but rather that fall on your sword for $40, spend the money ( a pittance this sport) send it back in, get it fixed and move on.

22 GT Barrel Help

I’m thinking of buying one of your group buy barrels in a 1:8 twist chambered in 22 GT.

The spring group buy link gave me the option to select 1:8 (what I want for 60-80 gr bullets I think).

However the 22 cal prefits page from your main website states that all 22 cal prefits are 1:7 twist.

Could you clarify for me, are 1:8 indeed available through the group buy?

They're 7 or 8, depending what you select in the GB.
That statment on the 7 twist is a couple years old, I missed fixing that when we started doing 224-8's as well.

Help me with my scope level obsession.

The following is likely to make you even more crazy than you are now. Sorry.

You're leveling the reticle. Another, arguably better, approach is to level the erector assembly. It's not safe to assume that the reticle is installed with the vertical axis perfectly parallel to the direction of travel of the erector. I had a Leupy for a while, and the reticle was a full 5 ° off from the erector. Called them, they said it was within spec.

If you dial for elevation, you should probably level the erector assembly. If you're holding, level the reticle. On most good quality scopes I've tested the reticle lines up nicely with the erector, but not always.

I regularly have the experience of going to the range with a scope I know is perfectly level and having it appear like it isn't. Even a slight slope at the range can totally fool your eye. To convince myself I wasn't crazy, I took a 6' level to the range one day and set it out at 100y. Shimmed it up perfectly level. Looked at it from the shooting position and it confirmed all was well and the ground was just confusing my eyeballs.
