Removing LMT MWS bolt catch

The bolt catch on my MWS has started flopping around freely, no spring pressure against it. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I need to get this fixed as the bolt gets caught about every other round.

Tonight I found an allen wrench the correct size for the screw in the bolt catch, but I can't turn the screw. I actually twisted the little wrench and broke the tip off. I got the tip out with a magnet but I am still at a loss on how to get this screw loose.

Do any of you have ideas on how to get the screw loose that holds the bolt catch in? Any ideas why the catch would just flop around freely? It's like the spring is broken or stuck in the compressed position.

Thanks

Charging handle toss up

In my search for a durable charging handle I figured the DS arms steel charging handle would be a good fit. I soon came to the conclusion they werent so easy to obtain.

I began searching for a durable aluminum charging handle that might as well have gas divergence built in to the design.

My toss up at the moment is:

The pri gasbuster m84 (non Ambi) has a great reputation.

Original BCM gunfighter mod 4 made now by Vltor.

I do like how the LWRC CH has its oversized steel rivets and steel latching mechanism.

The raptor has dominated the markets lately but I would like to get members take on their current goto.

Gotta let this optic go unfortunately. A hunting reg change in my state eliminates my need for it.
These are fairly difficult to get a hold of

This has been handled gently but never outside the house or on a rifle

Velocity variability in factory ammo

I have always been impressed with my Hornady Precision Hunter ammo for my 270 Winchester, but this past weekend I shot with my brand new Garmin chronograph. I was a little disappointed with the spread on velocities in each of the shot groups I took, but I was most shocked seeing a difference of 100 fps between two different lots in the ammo I brought with me. Has anybody ever seen anything like that in their use of precision hunter specifically?

As interested as I am in longer range shooting and hunting, I recognize that standard deviations and differences between lots will be larger than the folks out there loading their own ammo. But that’s just way more than I was expecting!

While I’m at it, anybody have experience with 270 Winchester in federal premium? I guess it doesn’t really matter the caliber, but now I’m questioning whether Precision Hunter is the best load for what I’m trying to do? Or is this just a fluke? I want the best consistency I can get until I jump down the reading rabbit hole…

Dudes With 6.5 CM Experience, Looking for Input

I've assembled (9) ARs to this point from the ground up, and generally enjoy the process. I possess all of the necessary tools and equipment for both large frame and small builds.

Where build #10 is taking me though is into new territory for me...specifically I have in hand a 6.5 CM, steel Proof barrel, 22", with +2" gas, and JP enhanced bolt. It'll be going in an Aero (ewww) M5E1 set with 15" enhanced handguard. I got the whole set for $360 because it is in a fugly color and was a blem...nothing a little Krylon can't fix.

If I'm running the (most likely) SA AGB, are there any concerns with certain buffers and springs that I should know of and avoid? I have zero experience with the Creed, but my last .308 runs like a champ. I do intend on running a carbine stock and not fixed.

Admittedly, it has been about 3 years since I fully assembled an AR. So if there are cerain parts manufacturers these days who stand out in a good (or even bad) way, I'd love to know where to look, and where to avoid.

Not looking for the most hard-core parts, but don't mind spending a little more to get higher quality materials.

Much appreciated for any insight.

Reloading Equipment Area 419 auto trickler base and hopper

Upgraded to an inginuity trickler and this has just been collecting dust. I used a dremel to open up the back of the base to clear the rubber orings I used that were slightly larger than the original orings. Doesn’t hurt anything, just cosmetic and trying to be transparent.

Asking $50 shipped CONUS.

Canada's Embarrassment.

When the war kicked off in Sudan a few years ago...there were 1000 Canadians there.

(Dual citizens that abuse our system....Snowbirds).

The weak Canadian military got out a few hundred.

Hundreds were raped, murdered, and sold into sex slavery.

This is the biggest death of Canadians.

Ever heard about it? Probably not.
