    Rock River Arms 17 HMR

    Very interesting. The bolt hold-open is kind of an issue with rimfire ARs. S&W and Kriss make magazines with followers that hold open the bolt catch just like the centerfire mags do. But to my knowledge they aren't making a 22WMR or 17HMR magazines. They may eventually get there. Did the...

    Rock River Arms 17 HMR

    A measure of that may be true but I recall the big issue being blowback actions. There wasn't enough bolt-weight in early designs that would prevent blowouts. Semi-auto 17HMRs were pulled mostly for safety reasons. Alexander Arms and Bear Creek offer blowback actions but they've added a...

    AR-15 Rimfire conversion for NRL22?

    Very cool! Did you have to modify the Sako barrel much to fit the TS collar? On the advice of "Exscoose" in another thread, I purchased a couple of those Chiappa adapters. To my eye, the fit up to the TS bolt nicely but I haven't laid the calipers on them. Congratulations on your re-barrel...

    JP JPRFX 22 rifle

    Myself and another fella at RFC modified the CMMG bolt to work with KRISS DMK adapter. It just took a little filing to fit the rails. Works perfectly and you have all the aftermarket support of the CMMG bolt. There's a build thread on it at RFC.

    Match barrel . . . Really?

    As a follow up to my earlier post here are some targets from this weekend. These were shot from 50-yds and you can see my set up. The lower has a Daniel Defense trigger. It's a pretty high pull but breaks very crisp. I'm not sure this is the right lower for the upper but it shot alright...

    Match barrel . . . Really?

    Here's a link to some targets I shot last summer. These were the first rounds down that barrel, and I bet I still haven't got 500 rnds through it. Too many other projects going on. I need to get back out with this one and see if it continues to impress. I have some SK ammo to test with it...

    Rock River Arms 17 HMR

    Which one do you have? I was very close to buying an Alexander Arms .17HMR upper several years ago and then I came across the Garrow DI version. Aside from the Savage SA offering, the direct blowback has been the only operating system available. AA seems to have the secret sauce but it's...

    Need help putting together 22LR AR15

    This is awesome! I got a notification resurrecting this old thread. I'm dyin' to know if 68Hoyt ever did shoot that 18" Lothar Walther barreled upper I sold him. TimK...I've got a couple questions for you. What chamber did your 'smith use? I have several barrels with the Bentz chamber...

    JP JPRFX 22 rifle

    I have the same expensive JP bolt catch. I can’t recall with mine but did it come with a replacement bolt catch spring? Mine works pretty well but I learned from using the Kriss version of the bolt catch on another CMMG upper that a lighter bolt catch spring is needed for reliable LRBHO. Kriss...

    JP JPRFX 22 rifle

    JP makes some very nice stuff. Their uppers, lowers, and handguards are machined perfectly and just have a feel of quality...perfection. I love AR22s but I'm not sure I have $2,600 wrapped up in all of them that I have. I have an earlier JP bolt/barrel assembled. I have several...

    JP JPRFX 22 rifle

    I think "Pursuit of Accuracy" did a similar video or two with a Kidd Supergrade. He always uses good ammo and gives it a fair shot.
