    Craddock RTR

    I've got 4 coming, two .750's and two .625's that Craddock is doing the assembly on. Will post results. Week of the 26-30th I should have them and range time with any luck. ETA - Who built yours/other components?

    Sons of Liberty Armorers Class - AAR

    I've had great luck with switchblocks. I've gotten away from other adjustables - I had a Superlative that was bad from the factory with a piece of metal shaving in the adjustment, and that made it a single shot when first built. Slowly but surely switching everything else out to the SB or...

    I'm not trying to debate that the amount of pressure you signed up for is the amount of gas you want. RE: there are bleed off gas blocks - exactly - and they are trying to deliver the amount of gas you want. You could well want more or less based on ammo, cans, specific set up. That is the...

    Maybe both. Less gas is like less horsepower. There is no benefit to a bad seal that leaks a bit out either. While it isn't a requirement per se, there is no benefit to anything other than 100% of the gas you're supposed to have.

    Mike illustrated a good fit as one where he taps it on - not beats it - tap tap tap. Not finger loose slide, not warm up your shoulder.

    Battle Arms Development barrels and customer service – Caveat Emptor

    I can say the guy who told me BA was still "accurizing" gave me the impression that in his short tenure there, he's seen some shit.

    Battle Arms Development barrels and customer service – Caveat Emptor

    Don't know. I made my monthly "can I please have my guns" call and the new guy said - We're still waiting on BA to accurize the barrels. That's when I started laughing. I didn't know much about them other than my impression they were budget build barrels. The time between that call and them...

    Knights Armament parts availability

    Counterpoint - I'm less concerned with innovation that launching metal reliably and accurately. My experience is they're still doing that the right way. I'm trying to get a bullet out of a barrel. I'm fine with a 30 or 70 or 100+ year old system (I'm thinking of HK USP, AR, 1911 and various...

    I'll be fine. George is the one that has to live with the knowledge he didn't do right. Maybe he doesn't care. Lesson learned. Stick with known supplier for the heart of your rifles. https://craddockprecision.com/rtr-6-5-grendel-13-9-the-pangris/

    Realistically Best Option for a 7.62 Gas Gun

    AMEN. I have a couple custom builds that I've fought for years. I would have been WAY better off buying an N6 (surprised no Noveske with a SB suggestions??) or whatever else. I just rebarreled with an N6 barrel and - bearing in mind I have countless springs buffers etc - had the first range...

    Battle Arms Development barrels and customer service – Caveat Emptor

    10/3/2024 - Edited to add - The owner of Battle Arms did follow up with me and offered a store credit for the amount I was out for the costs incurred. I got their ultralight receiver set. It all worked out, just like Lil Wayne said it would. A long long time ago, before the wind, before the...

    The public lynching some of you were hoping to see is being typed. The saga has reached an end. The culprit is Battle Arms Development. All details in a new thread, coming shortly.

    Having trouble using the site?

    The email I signed up with in 2006 is dead and I can't get it changed, hence I can't log in with email - and my password is long forgotten as I've been living on cookies since Thor only knows when. I'm hanging on by a thread. I've emailed support with a request to have it corrected but as of...

    Hunting & Fishing Experimenting w/ different calibers on deer (Graphic)

    I've been blessed, out of my 12.5 and 20" Noveske barrels - same same accuracy and POA/POI are so close that they are almost interchangable. Not quite, but I could interchange within 150-200 without re-zero'ing.

    I believe that is the joint task force range thingy in the Zachary area - yes. But, open to civilians.

    Hunting & Fishing Experimenting w/ different calibers on deer (Graphic)

    Thoughts on the ELD vs SST, in a Grendel specifically? I don't have a big enough sample size to have statistically significant opinions. In short, many say the SST is a much better choice but the ELD seem to work well enough on pigs.
