    .223 Rifle Build

    I love 223 in a bolt gun. I shoot 77 and 80smk bullets. I'm running a bighorn origin action with accurate mags and it feeds like butter, never a problem. I'd definitely go 1:7 twist. Virtually every AR is a 1:7 where the majority of ammo being shot is 55g ball, why go slower for a bolt gun...

    Thorroclean & Bronze Brush Bore Cleaning Result.

    If you're starting with a barrel that clean and cleaning every 100 rounds I don't see an abrasive being necessary to get it clean again.

    Iron Bridge Armory (IBA)XM3 build not clone correct

    Based on posts I've read I also got the impression iba doesn't really do much themselves. I'm pretty sure iba did the clip slot on the originals but I'm not 100% on that. No way ptg did it originally. Guess they sent it to ptg for their half ass clip slot and famous U.S. stamp like on their fake...

    Anyone have a McMillan A5-7?

    I chose it because it gives it that early 2000s custom rifle look.

    Anyone have a McMillan A5-7?

    Almost went with a t2a as well. McMillan is more of a known entity for me and their lead times are much quicker so I went that route.

    Anyone have a McMillan A5-7?

    Thought I would update this since I've had a couple people ask me and there's very little information out there about these stocks. I ordered the stock mid November and it shipped mid January. I had them ship it to Terry Cross for his loggerhead cheek hardware install. Awesome guy to deal with...

    For the Love of God, GI Joe and John Wayne.... cleaning and abrasive cleaners

    I did end up getting one for ARs because they're pretty available so I figured why not. The cleaning rods definitely stay in better shape when using a guide.

    For the Love of God, GI Joe and John Wayne.... cleaning and abrasive cleaners

    @Frank Green Id like to expand on this a bit and get your opinion on cleaning firearms other than precision rifles. Milsurp rifles: I have some older mausers, 1903a3 springfield etc. Do you try to find bore guides for these, or just clean from the back and do your best? AR Rifles: Do you use...

    REMMINGTON 243 03A3

    That is a 1903-A3 springfield that someone "sporterized". Originally it would have been in 30-06. Just Google an original 03a3 and you can see what it would've looked like in military configuration.

    It's been fun, but it's time for me to move on

    Wow, really hate to see you leave. You are a wealth of knowledge and have probably the most interesting collection of stuff I've seen. Always look forward to your posts. I wish you the best of luck and thank you for all the information you've shared.

    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    Wow. Sounds like someone really went off the deep end. Is he really just naming everyone he can think of in the industry to try and back up his bullshit?

    Nightforce | Shot Show 2025

    I tend to agree. I've been looking at some options and I think reality is I could pick any of the ones I'm looking at and be very satisfied.

    Nightforce | Shot Show 2025

    For every great thing said about a certain optic I can find equally as many people bitching about it. Nightforce, vortex, kahles, zco, s&b, TT, leupold, you name it. Makes it real difficult to choose anything without firsthand experience.
