    I was wondering if an armalite .223 ar will accept and function with a surefire 60 magazine. I know the .308 armalite platforms are different from the dpms style. Just not informed on the .223 side.

    Recent build first time firing it.

    Re: Recent build first time firing it. Yep. I really liked the factory 20" 5r and I didnt build it specific to ftr. I like short barreled guns. Just cosmetics but I purchased a barrel off here that was only 21" unfinished. Some guy had it in his safe for several years and never got around to...

    Recent build first time firing it.

    I have been picking up parts off this forum from time to time as they came up. I pieced together a rifle I plan to compete in our local F/tr class with. I have a remington 700 action that the threads were true on. Didnt have to chase them or anything. Just faced the action. Lapped the lugs on...

    Colt 901 vs custom Mega ?'s

    Re: Colt 901 vs custom Mega ?'s Thanks M21guy. That is the answer I was looking for. The 901 falls short to me due to the barrel,trigger, and stock. I like the monolithic upper design. As far as looks go, It's got it. But I plan to shoot 175gr smk and I like the 1 in 11.25 or 1 in 10 twist...

    Colt 901 vs custom Mega ?'s

    Re: Colt 901 vs custom Mega ?'s Well I hope he orders one just for the sheer fact that I cant wait to push him out to the 300-500 yard range with it and see if he can hang. He has been pretty arrogant about a rifle that he can only back order while I am enjoying my build piece by piece...

    Colt 901 vs custom Mega ?'s

    I am currently in the process of building a couple AR 308 rifles. I have a buddy who is trying to purchase the new Colt 901. He has been trying to talk it up. I am a huge colt fan but I feel that a custom built rifle if done right will suit ones needs better and perform more accurately. Can...

    My neighbor bought a brand new Smith and wesson ar15. He brought it over to show me and said he just realized the gas block was very crooked. Can this be adjusted very easily?

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 x mark trigger springs?

    Re: Remington 700 x mark trigger springs? Thanks guys. I ordered 4 new springs from a remington contract gun smith. They told me no to use the springs I have. I thought maybe they just wanted to sell me something but after reading, the stiffer spring I think may slow firing pin down and slow...

    Gunsmithing Trigger operation? how does it work?

    Re: Trigger operation? how does it work? I just got off the phone with remington again and they said they do not sell individual trigger parts. That if I was to replace that spring with a heavier spring it would add more weight to trigger pull. Of course it is remington and trigger in same...

    Gunsmithing Trigger operation? how does it work?

    Re: Trigger operation? how does it work? I called remington. They will not sell any part of the trigger. I called wolff and they do not make that spring. I purchased 4 triggers and they are missing that spring. The guy I purchased them from went back to the gunsmith he bought them from and he...

    Re: Remington 700 x mark trigger springs? I took one of my good triggers apart to compare springs. The new ones just didnt seem right to me and I am glad I did.

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 x mark trigger springs?

    Re: Remington 700 x mark trigger springs? I am not opposed to using these other springs if someone can tell me if they would be safe. I installed one in a trigger and it is a bit taller by 2 coils and seems to be stiffer. would a spring in this location being stiffer hender the safety? Can...
