    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Agreed. 20 inch proof with heavy JP variable BCG and ‘H2’(?) SCS. VLTOR Upper if it matters. I’d say a gas issue, but if it has issues when you hand cycle it, sounds like something isn’t lining up? You don’t have the buffer spring retainer in do you? I ran an unintended experiment with it in...

    Remove Blue loctite stain from wood?

    I thought there was a gunsmithing forum, but I guess it went away. I put a tube of blue loctite down on a table a the lid was totally secure, so I got a thumb sized stain on the wood. I think it’s polyurethaned, the table is like 30 years old, but this is the worst I’ve done to it. In the...

    6mm Arc Build Questions

    A Blemished BCM upper is hard to pass up. I wanted this to be a ‘nice’ looking rifle, other wise I think that you got the right idea. I think that any build I’m going to do in the future is going to have a variable gas block- unless it is a pure SHTF type gun. Just too many good things can...

    6mm Arc Build Questions

    I’d say non-thermo from what I read and with my Proof barrel. I didn’t heat it up and it didn’t seem to need it. If anything, it seems teh Proof barrel is ever-so-slightly tapered to be a bit bigger towards the muzzle? As I was test fitting it, I’d get to about the last 1/4 inch and it would...

    6mm Arc Build Questions

    Oddly enough, my go-to for parts was Optics Planet, but they have so many options, I sometimes didn’t get the differences. Plus they sometimes have the same thing (or what seems to be) the same thing under different codes. Got it together last night. Hope to get to the range today to at least...

    6mm Arc Build Questions

    Well, got most of the parts. I didn’t think that if I bought a JP Enhanced Bolt and a bolt carrier that neither would have a firing pin, bolt cam pin and firing pin retainer… Anyways: Vltor upper Proof 20 inch 6ARC 1:7.5 Aero precision adjustable gas block Little bastard 3 comp (replaced JP)...

    Aero Precision, going out of business or?

    So, is there an issue? Their lowers have some screws instead of pins (bolt catch?) if I remember from a video. Is that all their lowers?

    Proper Headspacing - resistance

    Thanks for all the input and time. If it were a stock 700, I would have just run the gauges and called it good, or if it were a ‘full’ prefit I would have just torqued it and run the gauges and called it good. It’s having that extra degree of freedom of having to/can adjust the headspace. That...

    Proper Headspacing - resistance

    The Archimedies is a controlled feed round so the extractor shouldn’t really have a role in trying to get headspace. The Archemidies (I’ll eventually spell it right) has that camming(?) or spring loaded bolt ‘arm’(?) knob, so I’m not sure on the ‘feel’ aspect? Wouldn’t getting any kind of drag...

    Proper Headspacing - resistance

    Similar boat as the OP, but I was wondering about the no-go gauge. PVA variable shoulder in an Archemdies action. Smooth on the Go gauge, and doesn’t close with the no-go, but it doesn’t really engage at all? Forster 6.5C gauges. I bought this a few years ago, and just got around to putting...

    Max range with 56mm scope on 20 moa rail + ?moa mount?

    I have a few Vortex scopes and I like them. I haven’t bought a Leupold since they brought out the HD range. While my son says he wants to get into long range, his current rifle is more PRS than long-range set up, and I think he’ll shoot more PRS in the short term. The Leupold to me had a...

    Max range with 56mm scope on 20 moa rail + ?moa mount?

    Thanks everyone. Went to MileHigh and got the Leupold. They even mounted it in the SPuhr with a SendIt Level..

    Max range with 56mm scope on 20 moa rail + ?moa mount?

    My son wants to get into longer range shooting. He has a Ruger RPR in 6.5Creed. For his birthday I wanted to get him one of the 35x scopes with a 56mm bell. The RPR has a 20 MOA rail, and I’m looking at either a Leupold Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25×56 with the PR2MIL reticle, or the Vortex Vortex...

    Loading magazines with out smearing bullet lube?

    I’ve got fat fingers and whenever I load my Center-X ammo, I always end up smearing the lube from the bullet onto the brass. I have to think that this leads to variation and maybe dirty chambers as the lube builds up. Anyone have a way to load rounds into CZ45X mags or Voodo mags with out...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Nice, building something pretty similar, but with an 20inch Proof carbon barrel. VLTOR and haven’t decided on a lower or if I’ll just canabalize one for awhile. I hope the Aero adjustable gas fits under the hand guard. You building it yourself? Trigger? Looking at a GEISSELE Super Dynamic...
