    Troubleshooting an Upper

    Interesting. From prone, my brass piles up right at about 4 o'clock and approx 2.5ft from the ejection port. Undergassed? If so...I'm running a 5.1oz rifle buffer and standard rifle spring. Throw in a lighter buffer or go to work on the block? I've also thought about turning the gas off...

    SOLD *** Surefire Warcomp 7.62 Flash Hider / Mount

    https://www.surefire.com/warcomp-762-5-8-24.html Came on an upper I bought recently. I need to use an ASR mount, so this can go. Nearly perfect condition, a minor scuff on the wrench flats is all. Comes with a bunch of shims. I see them selling for $129+tax/shipping at places like Primary...

    Troubleshooting an Upper

    It’s a Festivus Miracle! Moved the scope (XTR II 3-15) over to a Burris PEPR Mount, properly torqued but not precisely leveled and eye relief a bit wonky. I had 30 minutes to hit the range and came away with this group. American Gunner 123s That really errant shot is 100% me. I pulled across...

    The legend of Alvin York.

    I'm gonna go ahead and call shenanigans on this. Dude (Mastriano) had a book to write/sell. It's awfully convenient that 90 years later he can (a) find spent shells lying around and (b) tie them to York's weapons. It just doesn't pass the smell test. EDIT: FINDING stuff on an old battle...

    Troubleshooting an Upper

    @nn8734 While I appreciate the sentiment, I don’t believe the seller was nefarious. Sometimes shit happens. I’m very active (a moderator) on our NC\SC shooters forum and also do many many deals every year. I see a bunch happen in my moderator role as well. By and large, there are very few...

    Troubleshooting an Upper

    I removed the muzzle device, inspected the crown (looks good) and went back to the range. A little bit better, but not acceptable as of yet. I got a full 1" better with the 8x optic in a PEPR mount vs ~12x in the LaRue. It was cold and rainy....so maybe it IS the LaRue mount, either my not...

    Troubleshooting an Upper

    Huh. Never thought about using "the tool". My bad. I just kept tightening the nuts by hand until I had to use a good amount of pressure to close the levers.

    Troubleshooting an Upper

    Nope. His ad said he'd only shot out to 50 yards in prep for a hunt and only ran ~80 or so rounds through it. I have no reason not to believe him. But, if he was full of shit why own up to it now? Either way, it's on me at this point. It is what it is, I just want a shooter.

    Troubleshooting an Upper

    the Warcomp may be ever so slightly canted to the 11o’clock, but not much. Check out the shit show of shims that were used to mount it...8 of ‘em. I’ll throw on a simple thread protector for transport and I’ve swapped optics out. Back to the range for day 3...

    I picked up a 6.5 Grendel upper on here last week that has been...disappointing. Looking for tips to trouble shoot. 18” Wilson Recon barrel Odin works AGB Warcomp brake I was told only 80 rounds through it. I’ve run about 75, all with results similar to the attached images. It cycles...

    The legend of Alvin York.

    I’ve been to the Sgt York Memorial shoot at his homestead in TN several times. A bit of a departure from 3,000fps 1mile shots! For reference...I’m 6’4”. I need a step stool to load the .48cal flintlock. The old man on the left is my dad and built the rifles by hand, no powertools. The match...

    PSA: Don't let your bolt gun fall with the bolt open while cleaning it. **UPDATE: FIXED**

    Well. Darn. I probably ought to source one for backup then.

    MLOK mount ARCA/RRS rail

    I picked up a 6.5Grendel upper here the other day and am looking to mount my Atlas bipod. I already have an RRS mount on the Atlas for use on my bolt gun. So I'm looking to add a rail to the MLOK (7slots) hand guard instead of using a direct mount. I know Area 419 is likely the answer, but what...
