    Remage Prefit and Piercing Primers

    After cleaning I haven't had them come back. Starting to think they are linked to the break in of the throat. Read somewhere that in the first couple hundred rounds that a new barrels throat moves .010" before it stabilizes. one of those cheap borescopes are great for checking how clean you...

    Remage Prefit and Piercing Primers

    Both of my ar10 308s had to have bolts replaced to the small firing pin versions when switching to 6.5 cm due to that same issue. All of my issues with carbon rings have happened with new barrels in 100-200 rounds.

    New bolt action upper for AR15’s BCA. Budget friendly.

    A couple of us have bought these receivers to build subsonic pistols. I haven't decided on a barrel yet but put an old model 1 24" 556, reversed gas block, and mismatched handgaurd just to play with it. Shimmed the barrel with 1 wrap of .001" foil and thermal fit it. Honestly the barrel shot...

    Buffer. Heavier buffer is what you need. Also if your suppressor allows, go to a larger caliber endcap. Or dial down the gas.

    I think my problem is with the heavier bullets I've got just a touch more gas than I had it tuned for. That receiver damage looks like the brass isn't getting all the way out of the chamber and the bolt is driving the case mouth into the edge of the receiver as its closing. Recommend black...

    Loaded up some 155grn FTX bullets to play with last weekend. Shot well but think I'm now getting excess gas as the bolt was over running the next mag. Funny thing was that it wasn't scratching or denting the cases. Almost polite about it.

    $180 demo from the bushnell outlet store. Took the clamp off and installed the arca rail that came with the ball head on that so it clamps in if needed for a rifle without the adapter. Allows the tripod to still fit in the bag. Holds a 16# dpms sass solid.

    Pulled mine outta the safe tonight and everytime I'm amazed at how good it feels. Picked up some mlok to arca rail adapters to try it on the new tripod setup. Picked up a Primos Apex trigger carbon tripod and put a $36 ball head on it. All in under $250 for everything.

    My 16 is a 563-23xxx. Most of my issues were barrel.

    Yep the clamp on SA adjustable. I did have to clearance the bottom when i did the top of the original handgaurd. The clamp screws stick out a bit.

    It would be pretty crazy if the 6.5 had a different barrel extension and or receiver than the 308. I need another 6.5 creed like a hole in my head but there's an already unneeded 6.5 ar10 in the safe. If that one was to wander down the road, then maybe the 308 sfar needs a 6.5 sibling.

    It is funny that there is zero reports of them in the wild yet. Brownells lists them available for sale.

    Missed this. That's an old Galaxy 10 phone. The camera is behind the phone in the provided mount and just high enough to see out of the window. I did pick up an 6ft usb-c cable incase we mounted it to the outside of the sxs with the screen inside.
