    Aero precision m5e1 with JP barrel issue

    Your upper is probably fine. Torque values on that wrench are linear, so when you add an extension and angle (90 degrees and about 3” extension).....37 ft/lb becomes 45 ft/lb.

    Rifle Scopes GAP Deal on Bushnell LRHS Scopes

    That throw lever is made in China, and they purposefully make the wording imply that it isn’t. Shady, IMO. All of the LoneStar stuff is Chinese open tooling stuff.

    Will my retarded DIY equipment idea actually work?

    I’m not familiar with the TAB gear mat, so you may need to adjust the placement to get your mat to still fold, but here’s what I did with a standard midway mat: Take your existing mat, buy a grommet kit. (Grommets are the metal eyelets commonly seen on tarps and banners) Install grommets about...

    I’m probably 10 minutes from you. Let me know if you wanna get together and shoot in the desert or something after the fire ban is lifted.

    What happened to Mega Arms?

    For what it’s worth, Zev’s customer service treated me way better than Mega and that idiot “Jason” ever did. Their shop was clearly capable of cranking out quality products but their management (prior to Zev) was a straight dumpster fire. Zev went above and beyond fixing an issue that Mega...

    JP LRP-07 BCG sticking

    If nothing else, thanks for coming back and posting the cause and solution of the issue! Nothing more frustrating than searching an issue and OP disappears or worse just posts “got it solved thanks” and doesn’t give details.

    Falkor Petra on its way

    Clint always seemed like he was more concerned with promoting himself than actually working to make the product better. Always nice and fun to be around, though.

    Problems with my CA-10 (ar10) 6.5cm

    Well, as I mentioned above, I had Superlative Arms block explode on my Mega Maten after about 300 rounds of 308 use. First time for everything, I suppose.

    Problems with my CA-10 (ar10) 6.5cm

    Good to know, I swear I have the worst luck with this stuff. I'll see if I can find photos of it. I suppose there's a chance it was a one-off or an older Syrac model that the original rifle owner represented as a Superlative, but mine definitely blew apart in half. So I don't seem completely...

    Problems with my CA-10 (ar10) 6.5cm

    Yes, that is what I use across 10+ gas guns. I had a rifle with the Superlative block on it when I bought it and it failed spectacularly. Just keep in mind that running any rifle both suppressed and unsuppressed is a compromise, unless you are dedicated to finding what load you want to run...

    Sticky / Tacked Thread consolidation

    Hey Frank and Mod team, Long time user since a few years prior to Scout. I was hoping to post some feedback regarding the semi auto and bolt action rifle forums with regards to navigation and user experience. In short, the amount of space taken up by stickies / tacked threads in these forums...

    Problems with my CA-10 (ar10) 6.5cm

    Glad to hear they recommended an easy fix. Word of advice, skip the Superlative and go for an SLR block. I personally have had one of the early Superlative blocks explode / split in half on me, and I've seen a number of its predecessor (Syrac Ordnance) design explode as well.

    Problems with my CA-10 (ar10) 6.5cm

    Potentially, it depends how your barrel and block are currently configured. If your factory block is designed to restrict gas flow (some manufacturers do this to reduce felt recoil and wear/tear on the gun), then yes, an adjustable gas block should correct the issue. The more likely reason it...

    Problems with my CA-10 (ar10) 6.5cm

    With gas guns like yours, everything is connected. The gun relies on the backpressure behind the bullet to travel through the gas block, into the bolt and begin the process of unlocking, extracting, ejecting and then feeding a new round. Your gun sounds like it is being starved for gas with...
