    MK 12 Mod 1

    FWIW.. Criterion also has a Fluted RLGS 18" SS416R Polished. Its Rifle length GP is considerably smaller then the Centurion 18"RLGS I just bought. Centurion 18" RLGS, .101" gas port size.... The 18" Fluted SS RLGS Criterion has a .092" gas port size...

    American Ammunition Company 77gr SMK HPBT

    In the past few months I have bought numerous cases of the 77gr OTM. It does sell out fast however... what is your idea of "This ammo has been out of stock for a long time now." ?

    M14 with Lothar-Walther heavy profile 6.5 Creedmoor barrel testing (ongoing)

    This thread was a good way to start the morning ! Excellent info and post. Also very good to hear Lothar-Walter was receptive to using a smaller gas port size in the 6.5CM barrel. FWIW.. keep an eye on the Federal 120gr OTM ammo.. some of the first batches blew primers in my 22" RLGS w/ Adj...

    Newly Question about ammo

    As mentioned... until you try all the available factory loads, you won't know. ( Not trying to be a smart ass )

    AR Gassing help

    While more expensive then a Adj. GB.. there are "improved design" BCG's. How much do they help ? I don't know. Lantac https://www.lantac-usa.com/product-page/enhanced-bcg-full-auto-style-223-5-56-nitrided CMC / SanTan 5.56 BCG...

    308 / 6.5CM FP tip sizes, and the variety I found.

    And I just realized, I never posted the Rubber City Armory ".308 Win+ Multi HP Bolt and firing pin info. Proprietary SD Non-Tapered FP... .066" , Bolt face hole... .071" https://rubbercityarmory.com/product/308-win-multi-hp-calibers-bolt-firing-pin/

    308 / 6.5CM FP tip sizes, and the variety I found.

    Azimuth / Aero Precision Nitrided 308 / 7.62 BCG Single Ejector To Aero's credit they at least publish a comment concerning the size of the firing pin hole. "firing pin hole diameter is reduced to .070" TAPERED SD FP tip size... .068" .... Bolt face hole... .070"...

    Questions re: AR-10’s, LR.308’s, Bolts

    Cascade Hemi Dagnabbit... I was hoping the Tapered SD FP could be traced back to Azimuth.

    Questions re: AR-10’s, LR.308’s, Bolts

    After searching around on the internet...#2 and #3 might be Azimuth made bolts and Tapered SD FP's . Azimuth also makes / supplies 308 BCG's for quite few "big" names... Wilson Combat, some of the Aero Precision, KAK , Odin Rifle works, Battle Arms Development. Azimuth has produced a Dual...

    New Barrel Coating Tech? This is interesting...

    Over the weekend I was dwelling on this hBN, and also remembered it was the newest best thing years ago. I also remembered the hBN did not reduce friction the same across the board in respect to bullet construction. Solid copper bullets showed very little reduction in friction. Cup and core...

    M5 6.5 CR Shortstroking

    Given your description... a heavier spring would probably make it worse.

    M5 6.5 CR Shortstroking

    How many rounds have been fired through it ? LFAR's sometimes need a little longer break-in. And I assume you are running it well lubed ?

    308 / 6.5CM FP tip sizes, and the variety I found.

    I realize most people don't "need" to have spare parts... but hopefully others can gain by this info. After receiving the Toolcraft SD FP tip size... I will update the thread. I have also e-mailed Craddock Precision, asking where they source their supplied headspaced bolt and Tapered FP. For...

    308 / 6.5CM FP tip sizes, and the variety I found.

    Small Diameter / HP setups... Both Tapered and Standard profile FP. PSA / Toolcraft 6.5CM Dual ejector BCG... FWIW, my first one of these comes from May 2018. And the latest from a month ago. Tapered SD Tip FP... .068 and .069" , Bolt face FP hole... .071"...

    308 / 6.5CM FP tip sizes, and the variety I found.

    A odd ball in the middle... JP Enterprises "Enhanced" 308 bolt and FP .... NOT The HP JP setup. IMHO, use of the JP enhanced FP in a "DPMS" typical bolt ... will induce primer flow / cratering. Again.. buy and use your FP and Bolt from the same manufacturer.. and you will be just fine. While...

    308 / 6.5CM FP tip sizes, and the variety I found.

    While a lot of this info is in another thread... I thought others might like it more cohesive. This is gonna be about the various FP tip sizes, and styles and bolt FP holes I have found. IMHO... All manufacturers should post FP tip sizes and bolt FP hole diameters... Yeah I know.. Good Luck...

    Will nickel plated cases scratch chamber or feed ramps in AR10?

    FWIW... I also have had a 45/70 FL die get internally scratched from a Virgin Rem. Nickel case. However all the virgin cases had been trimmed to a same OAL.... and I may not have properly radiused the sharp edge completely... ( It was decades ago. ) It didn't stop me from using Nickel cases...

    Interesting. I would also like to know more. Since this applies to barrel longevity... what barrel / barrel material might be a good candidate ?
