    Suppressors Form-4 efile??

    Got a response from ATFE when I asked about the eForm 4 the other day--- "No projected time for the EForm4 currently."

    How far are you guys getting from mag fed 223 AR's?

    Second day of the Weekend in The Arena event (the open range day) earlier this month I got several hits in a row at 1000 with a 17.3" TriArc barrel running 73gr ELD-M handloads. In the March match the bonus stage was 10 shots at 1180yds in 2min. According to the match director there were more...

    Range Report Federal Premium edge TLR

    I haven't used them for hunting yet but I have gotten from .3-.5MOA accuracy at 100 from the 175gr 308 load. Only had a box or two of them and didn't have anywhere to shoot further at the time. One of the YouTube channels shot them into an oatmeal media at 800yds and was still getting expansion.

    M4 replaced?

    While I won't disagree with you, if the performance is significantly better, then it may be worth it. Having said that, this cartridge will be used in new rifles, so they may very well weigh less, etc., than existing platforms (not that the M4A1 is necessarily heavy). Part of me is also...

    M4 replaced?

    No. We are not switching to 6.8SPC. It's a 6.8 cartridge that is not commercially available. The 7.62 battle rifle for general issue was killed off quite some time ago for a number of reasons.

    Suppressed rifle lube / cleaning

    Slip EWL or EWL 30. I shoot a suppressed 11.5" DI SBR and it runs fine without a lot of cleaning (not sure I ever have cleaned it).

    AR-15 + suppressor problems

    Stand your assembled bolt carrier on the bolt face with the bolt extended in the unlocked position. The gas rings should support the weight of the carrier without collapsing to the locked position. If they do collapse, you need to replace your gas rings.

    Range Report Federal 260 Rem 142gr Gold Medal Sierra MatchKing vs Hornady 260Rem 130GR ELD

    I've shot both from my Tikka. My rifle definitely prefers the Federal 142 load over the Hornady 130. Strangely enough, while I have the same slow barrel problem Frank and others have observed, the Federal was only 20fps slower than box data where as everything else has been closer to 60-80fps...

    Best Lubricants for AR's?

    Slip EWL (FireClean has worked well for me too) I was first turned onto the Slip2000 products by Pat Rogers (RIP) after my AR ran dry in a carbine class in 2006. Later he brought by the spray bottle of Slip 2000 and we put some into the action, getting the bolt, rings, etc. Zero lubrication...

    Night Vision PEQ Height and Scope Issues.

    Keep in mind Larue's 1.93" mount came about as a result of a need by an organization wanting their low power variable optics to be able to clear top mounted PEQ15s. Geissele's mounts initially were for 1.54" to allow them to line up behind CNVDs and a later addition to their line of mounts was a...

    Is it worth going for a monolithic setup?

    I'd say that the biggest benefit to a monolithic upper is in a situation most shooters won't have to deal with and that's running a tertiary sighting system like a PEQ15 where rail flex may result in the laser being on target and the barrel pointed elsewhere. More an issue with carbines than...

    Brit Army officially withdraws AW308s from service

    Re: Brit Army officially withdraw AW308s from service Here's a major disadvantage to those arguing for 6.5 Grendel. This is a weapon intended for combat, not a range. If you have a Soldier who's primary weapon shoots a different caliber from everyone else, what do you do when you're in a TIC...

    How reliable is the M4/M16 rifle?

    Re: How reliable is the M4/M16 rifle? Sandwarrior, I've been using Slip 2000's EWL in Afghanistan for the past 2 deployments (15 mos for OEF 8 and 12 for OEF 10). I haven't noticed it turn to butter in the colder months. It also doesn't collect the crap like CLP and other lubes do-at least...

    6.8 W/ AK-47 type gas piston

    Re: 6.8 W/ AK-47 type gas piston I have an LWRC in 6.8. I don't have a lot of rounds through it specifically, but enough through it and other LWRCs that I can probably answer your questions. Based on what I've read, my own experiences shooting LWRCs (I've never shot POF, PWS, or any other...
