    MDT Oryx - Weight adding options

    Nicely done! Over the last couple days i added a piece of brass bar stock from amazon to the inlet below the barrel thats about 10” long. I poured clear epoxy under it and over it after spraying the brass with a light coat of black paint. Turned out good for about $45 total in parts. The epoxy...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    B&T is coming out with some really cool stuff lately. If i was in the market for another .223/556 can, it would be one of the new hard use B&T cans.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I am watching my email like a hawk. I certified on a ultra 9 and a velos lbp 762 about 2-2.5 weeks ago and im hoping for a quick turnaround like others are getting. My last 2 cans were 7ish weeks from certified to approved but that was aug-sept of 2023.

    cleaning a rocksetted muzzle device

    Works for AR BCG’s, barrel extensions, and other tight little spots that need attention too.

    cleaning a rocksetted muzzle device

    I leave my muzzle devices on until i have to absolutely take them off for whatever reason. I use the long handled q tips, like the medical ones, to put solvent on my crown and then dry it out with new dry q tips. Easy button.

    20” 6ARC bullet selection…

    Thanks for the help. I have some 87gr Vmaxs on hand now and some 80gr eld-vt’s on the way. I may just skip trying Varget all together and save it for my other cartridges that I already use it for.

    20” 6ARC bullet selection…

    Thanks for the advice! I wouldn’t consider myself an expert by any means but I have been in the reloading scene for about 11ish years now and have seen the good times and the bad times go by during different administrations and various events in the news. I learned a while back to stock up in...

    20” 6ARC bullet selection…

    I definitely think bullets in the 80gr-90gr class will do what im trying to. I picked up a pound of Leverevolution to try and i have varget on hand but i may grab a pound if benchmark or cfe223 to try…. Maybe one day i can find xbr8202 again.

    20” 6ARC bullet selection…

    Im in the process of assembling a 20” 6mm ARC upper and wanting to narrow down bullet selection and powder options for the uses this upper will see. It will be ran suppressed 100% of the time. At first it will be scoped and do some load development/plinking. Probably later this year it will...

    Cloud Defense EPL

    I have been using a tlr 7hlx for several weeks now and i have been really impressed with the output. The only downside in my opinion is the 30 min runtime with their rechargeable battery. But the size and weight is way smaller than a x300 ultra with very comparable output. The throw seems better...

    Trending 6 ARC barrel manufacturers??

    Thats kinda why I was kinda on the fence about buying the PVA. But, I know that they wouldn’t put something out subpar intentionally and even if I do have issues with it im sure they will take care if me. According to them i should have it in several weeks but unfortunately it will probably be a...

    Trending 6 ARC barrel manufacturers??

    I was heavily leaning toward a Craddock RTR or their custom barrel and just went the PVA route on a whim. We will see how it goes but im sure it will shoot fine for what im going to do with it. On any AR platform I shoot for any relative precision, if im holding .75 moa groups regularly with it...

    Just ordered the PVA last night. It will still be a few months before I have the rest of the parts and begin shooting it but definitely looking forward to it.
