    Need a buffer system for suppressed 11.5 SBR

    I drill the port in the gas block then tap it for a setscrew. Then I drill the correct port size in the set screw and screw it up into the gas block. Works great, will not fall out of adjustment and it can be done to any gas block. I do this to a LOT of short barrels with a factory FSB. It is...

    Night Vision Photonis Echo tubes

    Look up Low Light Innovations. They sell a $25 amber filter that changed my green PVS14. No more eye strain.

    Gunsmithing Marks in Barrel

    I use a bore scope as I finish up the chamber. That way if I see a problem I can fix it while it is still on the lathe and indicated.

    Gunsmithing Marks in Barrel

    All Savages have massive chatter marks. What makes them a shooter is when they copper evenly. I buy used Savage barrels and scope them. If they have even copper they generally shoot well. If they have patches of copper they generally won't shoot well. First time I looked down one I was...

    Need a buffer system for suppressed 11.5 SBR

    I run them on everything. Never had a problem with them changing adjustments or coming loose. I run a lightweight bolt and lightweight buffer (1.5 ounces) on my 11.5”. It is as soft shooting as any AR I have ever shot. It has been 100% reliable in a few thousand rounds.

    Need a buffer system for suppressed 11.5 SBR

    Get an adjustable/tuneable gas block and run standard parts. No need for special buffers or springs. Tune it to lock back without the silencer and it will be perfect with. Or if you run a silencer all the time, tune it for that. It reduces the amount of gas in your face, reduces felt recoil and...

    Accessories FS: Bolt handle extensions

    Different threads but as often the case I had someone back out after I bought the tooling to make an extension. What I can do is make a few that might work for you. Then we can discuss any changes you need to fit your rifle as best as I can get it. Let me think on the QD thing for a bit too...

    Case neck mouth belling problem

    Do you tumble with pins? I have witnessed myself and well as told by a bunch of others that tumbling with pins can mushroom the case mouth enough to cause problems in tightish chambers.

    The Northern Alliance

    I have worked with 80's Mujadeen that fought the Russians. Without a doubt more committed fighters than the current crop of Afghans.

    Pork Sword chassis by Black Collar Arms

    Still looks like the hinge is in the way of the grip. Had they made it to accept buffer tubes it would have been WAY better. The XLR Carbon is about perfect using a picatinny adapter.

    Go's around comes around

    Sounds like Capitalism is about to defeat the cartels. It's ass weed. I swear that stuff smells like it was stashed in between two butt checks for the walk across the Rio Grand Valley. Hemp is now legal, the ass weed wouldn't pass for much more than that.

    Pork Sword chassis by Black Collar Arms

    I replaced the Pork Sword with an XLR Carbon chassis. Magnitudes better at this than the Pork Sword. Mine is in 458 SOCOM and will have a 16" silencer. I am going to launch 528g Match bullets from LeHigh at 1,000 fps.

    Gunsmithing Education on how to mount a rifescope on PRS competition rifle

    I used to use levels on everything and was very meticulous, spending a few hours to make sure everything was square and level to the action. Then I started using feeler gauges between the scope and mount to ensure the scope was level and square. Most of the time now I start by setting the rifle...
