    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    Glad to hear you got some satisfaction. I dont plan to call since their answer will be the same as they gave you: ship in batches, a couple more weeks, lather, rinse, repeat. What seems pretty crazy to me is that they apparently will take the time to respond to some emails and answer the phone...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I can’t seem to find the thread about the necessary tools for removing a RPR barrel so I’ll just ask it here. I thought there was a tool similar to a geissele reaction rod that went into the barrel to hold it while you cranked on the barrel but that Ruger apparently torques to a bazillion...

    223 version of the RPR

    I’ve got about 100 tounds thru mine of several different brands including Black Hills, GA Arms, Hornady and I haven’t had a single issue with primers.

    I have a bunch. Pm me your email or cell and I’ll send you some pics. I have a drawer full of top hanguards as well. At one time I had a dozen SKS.

    Range Report Labradar

    The more I read the more convinced the magnetospeed is the direction I need to go. Not only is it significantly cheaper it seems to be a whole lot less finicky. Several companies now also make mounting solutions that address some of the concerns I had initially. I do think the radar is a slicker...

    Rifle Scopes Verticle Split Rings Question

    I know the consensus here is that verticle split rings (mount), regardless of brand, are generaly an inferior design to horizontal. I am curious where this leaves those such as Spuhr SP 4001 that are cut on a 45*? I also would like a little background on the mechanics of why the the orientation...

    Ruger RPR 5.56 Mags

    So I picked one of these up the other day for $789 delivered. I thought this was a smoking deal and considering they have been discontinued, I figured if I wanted one I had better jump on it now before they are gone completely. I have read most of the 50+ pages of the RPR thread here but...

    Pressure Signs?

    Barrel is on its way back to X-Caliber for inspection and one form of correction or another to be determined.

    Pressure Signs?

    OK, so I called X-Caliber this morning and spoke to Pat. As I described the issues, he seemed to know exactly what I was talking about as if I wasnt the first time he had heard of this. He almost immediately offered to have a return authorization sent so they could figure it out. I pressed him...

    Pressure Signs?

    Yup. I found that earlier and posted in it. I sent the OP a PM but I don’t really expect a response as he hasn’t logged in here since December 2017. Hopefully he does. Thanks

    Gunsmithing X-Caliber barrels

    I know this thread is 11 months old but I wondered if any of the original participants are still around. I am having issues with a new albeit year old X Calier barrel I finally got installed. I cant chamber rounds without them being jammed into the lands as lengths far shorter than published...

    Pressure Signs?

    Ok, whats the back story here.? Its clear you have an opinion regarding X-caliber. I am not real happy with them at this moment either. Care to share any first hand knowledge or experience? I was aware of some turnover in personnel as that was the reason given for my long lead time. I double...

    Pressure Signs?

    This is insane. I chambered an empty piece of brass without issue. Went in easy and came out easy when I raised the muzzle up. I then tired a piece of the same brass with just a bullet seated and it got stuck so I had to use a cleaning rod to tap it out from the muzzle end. I then started...

    Pressure Signs?

    Damn this is frustrating!!!! I spent a little time today mocking up some rounds to the same length and tried chambering them. Either the bolt wouldnt fully close or it would not allow me to eject the case without mortaring the charging handle. I am guessing the bullets are "jammed" into the...

    Barrel work order

    Pressure Signs?

    Thanks. Barrel was supposedly headspaced with the bolt that came with it. I totally forgot about that bolt and used a different new BCG so that may be part of the issue, thats my mistake. I will mock up a dummy round to check the throat and report back with a pic.

    Pressure Signs?

    I don’t believe there is a SAMMI spec since this is a wildcat but I did load to the prescribed length in the load data, 2.715”. This is shorter than mag length of 2.810”

    Pressure Signs?

    How exactly do I verify the barrel was made to proper specs? It’s the proper length, mounted properly, the twist looks correct at 1:10 (but I don’t have a precise way to verify this). Rounds chamber without issue. Rifling looks clean and well done but again I am not a gunsmith, machinist, or...
