    Muzzle Brake question

    I have across the Insite Arms Heathen and the Ace muzzle brakes. Both kinda sound like the type of muzzle brake that I am interested in. They both claim to tame recoil very close to the more aggressive muzzle brakes while not beating up the shooter with blast. Does anyone have any opinions on...

    Muzzle Brake question

    I am trying to finish up a AR-10 (LR308) accuracy build in 6.5 Creedmoor that I have been working on for quite some time now. I am down to deciding on a muzzle brake to basically finish it up. What I have is a barrel that ends in a diameter of 0.925", so I need a muzzle brake at least 0.925"...

    Question about BCG

    I am in the process of trying to finish putting together a presission LR308 type rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. I have all of the standard accuracy stuff as a precision trigger, Bartlein barrel, etc. My question is should I use the Toolcraft double ejector bolt that I already have or should I go with...

    Who is considered the best to chamber a barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor

    I am about to order a barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor for a project that I have been working off and on for the last few months. I see that Compass Lake Engineering, Precision Firearms, and Craddock Precision all will be approximately the same cost (give or take a few dollars) to chamber the barrel...

    AR10 Build....Advice on Barrel Length

    I am currently down to placing an order for a barrel for a AR10 accuracy build in 6.5 Creedmoor. Before I place my order however, I have two questions that I would like to get answered. First, I am torn between either a 22" or 24" barrel. I know most people say to go with a 24", but I am...

    AR-10 Barrels....CLE vs. Craddock or Precision Firearms

    I am in the market to order a accuracy barrel for a AR-10 that I would like to complete. In the past, I have ordered two barrels from CLE (Compass Lake Engineering) for AR-15 builds with superb results. I have decided to shop around and compare pricing this time and was wondering if Craddock...

    McGowen Cut-Rifled Barrels for AR-10

    It looks like most of the post answer my question.....let's forget about McGowan. There is too many other options to put up with poor quality control. When you spend the kind of money that McGowan barrels cost, there is no excuse to get anything but something that is perfect.

    Aero Precision M5 build...question about BCG

    I also see that the Toolcraft has a couple of BCG models specifically designed for the 6.5 Creedmoor that seem to come with a high pressure bolt with dual ejectors. I would see that as a extra margin of assurance that the spent case will be ejected properly and a plus for reliability. Is there...

    I am currently in the process of building a Aero Precision M5 in 6.5 Creedmoor. After doing a little research, I have discovered that the 6.5 Creedmoor may need a high pressure bolt. I have come up with three different brands that I am interested in....JP Enterprises, Toolcraft, and Aero...

    I am at the point of a accuracy build AR-15 where I need to get an order for a barrel sent in. I am going to order my barrel from Compass Lake Engineering but can't decide between the Bartlein and Krieger brand. Does anyone have a preference?

    Wylde Chamber vs. CLE Chamber

    Well, I am now wondering how well the CLE chamber will handle factory 5.56 ammo? I think it is really considered a .223 chamber but it is my understanding that 5.56 ammo can be used in it. I just want to make sure that it isn't very picky if for some reason I find myself shooting 5.56 ammo...

    I am looking at a accuracy build and was down to thd decision of choosing a chamber. I am planning to order a 20 inch Krieger barrel from Compass Lake Engineering and can't decide on the chamber. CLE seems to push the CLE, but it seems the Wylde is much more popular. I am wondering if anyone...

    I am in the process of completing a accuracy AR-15 build and was down to selecting the buffer tube. I am wondering if the buffer tube assembly has any effect on the total potential accuracy of my build? In other words, will I gain anything by going with a name brand buffer (Geissele, Spikes...
