Mk 13 Mod 0 stock

Posted this in bolt too so I apologize for the double post but it might appeal to the historically minded too.

Noticed a neat sale on Ebay.

Ive seen the McMillan return stocks from the M40s but didnt realize that the big gun parts made it into our world. Nice to build a tribute or clone that has some legit history.

Not my sale, I stick to affordable calibers, but it seemed like an item people on here would find use for if they knew about it.

Dillon 550 only- Tips, Tricks, Process Q&A thread .

This thread is all about setting up your 550, bench for 550, or loading room for 550, and any tricks or tips you've learned along the way. I know there's a lot of 550 guys on here, and I would appreciate any info you guys can bestow upon me.

So here's my first Q:

How would you guys set it up if you were doing a new reloading room with about 13 of 14 ( L shaped) , linear feet available for bench, and the following presses to put there.

7 - turret press (2 turrets total = 14 die locations)
Mec- single
Dillon 550c

And what operations would you do on which? I'm kind of struggling to figure out how best to set it up and I've never run a progressive press before.

Also, any aftermarket items or whatnot that are helpful are welcome suggestions as well.

Longtime Listener, first time caller - CO

Hey guys, I've been on here for a bit casually before joining and then finally introducing myself now.

Denver(ish)/Elizabeth, CO area -yes, the recent gun law changes suck.

USMC vet (2008-2016), shot a few local matches with handguns, looking to move to 3-gun eventually, now building my first long-range platforms now to try my hand at the vintage shooting matches (notably an M1903-A1 restoration and M40A5).

Spotters Spotting scope general picture thread

Looking to start a thread similar to all the rifle picture threads for people to share pics of their sporting scopes or other shot observation tools and their setups, and to discuss the various options and accessories that they find most useful. Institutional knowledge, experience, and experimentation welcome.

My humble first offering:

1st Suppressor / 1st Day Out (HUXWRX FLOW Range 36 Ti)

I once shot a half dozen rounds from a buddy’s bolt gun with a popular can from 10 years ago. I think it was a Gen1 RPR. I was blown away with the amount of suppression and have been pining for one ever since. Beyond that I have zero experience firing suppressed. A few months ago, I put out an inquiry for suggestions, and thank you for the responses :

https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...k-pressure-30cal-can-so-many-choices.7244768/

I went with the new HUXWRX 36ti in the hopes of getting it my on M76 and M49, optimistic that the newer flow-through design would behave well on them as well as other semi milsurps. This was an interesting experience. I had three hosts to revolve through today. I shot five round groups before and after and observed peculiar (to me), inconsistent results between rifles:


RPR in .308
  • This is a sub MOA gun when I do my part with the ammo it likes (168gr FGM)
  • When suppressed it’s PoI shifted 3.5” down x 1.5” left
  • Report was a fairly sharp, loud snap but does not ring the ears

RAR in 7.62x39
  • This is a 1.25” gun with best performing ammo, so far being Rommy surplus :-/
  • PoI shift was 2.5” straight up with no drift in windage
  • Report was a pleasant sharp snap

LAR8 Elite Operator (basically Rock River’s AR10 pattern from 10 years ago)
  • I fired a string with it’s Vortex flash hider and got about 2+” group using XM80 Lake City, 150gr “ball”
  • I then fired a string, bare-muzzle (w/o the Smith Ent, “Vortex”) and got abou 1.5” group (THAT was a surprise)
  • Next, I fired five rounds with the 36ti and got the same 1.5” group with literally NO PoI shift (huh?)
  • Report was quite a loud crack+POW that would almost ring my ear.
  • Perhaps not hearing damaging loud BUT not nearly the amount of suppression as the .308 bolt gun. Is this to be expected?

All in all, I was pleased with the performance on the two bolt guns. From what I’ve read I believe a traditional baffled can would be even quieter on bolt guns. Yes?


Takeaway/questions:
  • Is it typical for such a PoI shift with vs. w/o the can.
    • Strange that the .308 RPR would shift down and to the left whereas the x39 RAR would shift straight up.
  • While I need to do further testing it’s also interesting/revealing that after all these years the Vortex flash hider unbeknownst to me, may have been hindering accuracy on the LAR8
    • Why no PoI shift on the AR10 ?
  • AND why I this semi-auto vs. the bolt guns so much louder. Typical? Moving parts and places for gasses/sound to escape?


Thank you for taking to time to review this and offer any contributive insights.

Gas Block Problem

Put together a new .308 gas gun a few weeks ago and I'm having a hell of a time getting the gas system running. Thought I'd see if anyone here has faced a similar issue. The components are as follows:

LaRue 16" Midlength Barrel
Superlative Arms Adjustable Gas Block
Melonited Mid-Length Gas Tube

I've assembled a lot of gas guns over the years and have never had this much trouble with a gas system. I installed everything and test fired only to seemingly get no gas to the bolt. So, I disassembled and the reassembled with the same result. I'm wondering if it is an issue with the gas block or gas tube. I have a new gas tube coming to see if that fixes things. I used the spaghetti trick to make sure the gas hole is lined up with the gas block.

This is the first time I've tried a SA adjustable block, so I'm not sure if there is a defect with the gas block. I set it up per the instructions, but I don't know if I might also be doing something wrong. I guess I can replace the gas block with a standard one as well to make sure it's not a barrel or bolt issue.

Anyone have suggestions or other obvious things I might be missing?
