    OSS 7.62 or Omega 300 on 8" 300 blk build?

    I dont really see the point of 300 blackout subs unless they are quiet and I would assume the Omega will be far quieter than the OSS.

    Barrel for a 16" Recce build?

    On the higher end, I would add Centurion Arms - https://centurionarms.com/barrels/ Monty's stuff is top notch And on the lower, I would add Sionics - https://sionicsweaponsystems.com/parts/barrels/ I think Sionics is one of the most underrated builders in the industry. I would completely trust...

    Kac dimpled barrels

    They came that way to meet the weight requirements of a customer. The new 6.5 uppers have dimpling and from what I have heard are lasers.

    Kac dimpled barrels

    I really don't think it does anything for resale unless someone's looking for that specific thing. If I was looking for resale I would probably just not shoot it and stick it in the closet. I definitely think as of right now there's an FDE value but that could go away. The markets are fickle.

    Kac dimpled barrels

    Definitely think it's worth it on an APR. You would drop a tone of weight. I think the barrel probably warms up a little faster with less mass but also cools down faster but other then weight I didn't really notice. I would ask ns armory or presample Depot their thoughts.

    What flavor do you have?

    Kac dimpled barrels

    Brought the weight of my 16" PC down to a 16" CC. You lose about a 1/2 lb. No issue with accuracy after the dimpling.

    ar15 barrel quality experience

    X-Caliber makes excellent barrels.

    custom build shooting large groups

    If the barrel is a 1:10 twist, I would take the muzzle device off and shoot some 168gr gold medal match and see where you end up. I have not had luck with faxon barrels of any profile. Shooting a large frame is not the same as shooting an AR15. It took me a while to tighten my groups.

    Quietest 300BO precision rig build. TB vs AE30 vs Liberty

    There are other pieces to the puzzle other than just the can. If you are truly trying to make the gun as quiet as possible you will need an adjustable gas block. Suppression has a lot to do with tone. A suppressor can technically be rated to have fewer db but a can with a lower tone rated higher...

    Buffer weight question using Vltor A5 tube

    @Clayman is spot on. Generally, I run a Sprinco Green spring with an A5H2 but do run A5H1 on some of my properly gassed rifles. So to answer your question it depends on how gassy the barrel is. My gut tells me with a 20" barrel a A5H1 is probably the way to go.

    18 inch gas gun 308 vs 6.5 creedmoor

    16" 308 would be fine for that role.

    Barrel for a 16" Recce build?

    I think there was a time after Johnny passed when this was the case. All the stainless barrels I have seen from them as of the last year or two have been excellent.

    Barrel for a 16" Recce build?

    What is your definition of a recce gun? The traditional Naval Special Warfare side of the house answer is a 16" accurate stainless barrel (MOA) that is scoped. That was from mid-GWOT and has since morphed into today's SPR. Under that definition, the barrel needs to be accurate but can also take...

    First suppressor decisions???

    A lot of recommendations that will come in a thread like this come from shooters that only have one or two cans and that is generally the can they will recommend. It is typically not the view of the current market. There will be a lot of great recommended cans but are they a good fit for what...

    SP10M vs SP10

    Sorry, I poorly articulated my question. The difference between the Seekins and the GAP in price is $1000+ and it looks like the only difference in the barrel. Is it worth the extra money? Or do they shoot similar?

    SP10M vs SP10

    Is the Bartlein worth the extra grand + for the Gap-10 G2?

    LaRue Big Bore Match Grade Uppers

    Do they even have anything precision like that? Seems like it's out of their wheel house and the production numbers would be so low that's what's the point.

    LaRue Big Bore Match Grade Uppers

    I don't know if they have updated the requirements from 2021 but the objective requirements for the MRSS-S are pretty hardcore (https://events.sofwerx.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/MRGG-S-Objectives-Statement-23JUN21-002.pdf) and some of them would only work with LMT and LaRue like quick-change...
