    Ballistic Advantage barrels

    Right?! How many people actually throw a scope on their rifle to see what their rifle can actually shoot? How many of those people can actually shoot well enough and shoot enough rounds to give you an honest assessment? Answer - not many.

    This has also been my experience.

    Which lowers should I SBR?

    I think there is more of a probability that it would go down the opposite. NFA would be last to go.

    Which lowers should I SBR?

    Whichever are perfectly in spec which is probably the LMT.

    Mk262 clones ? Razor core ? Super performance 75s?

    I have found that PMC X-TAC Match 77g Sierra OTM is a fantastic substitute for Mk262.

    .300 Blackout 1:5 vs 1:7 for barrels < 8.3"

    It all depends how you set it up. So you could set it up that it's perfect with supers or you could set it up so it's perfect with subs. I essentially have mine set up so it's the least amount of gas that I can get away with subs (lock back) and then supers just always work. I think 7.5” is a...

    .300 Blackout 1:5 vs 1:7 for barrels < 8.3"

    In regards to Faxon, I have had a number of their barrels and I was never impressed. I know there will be people that love their barrels but they have never worked out for me. I think you are good to go with 1:5, I will just probably go with 1:6 with a 9" barrel because its longer. If you...

    .300 Blackout 1:5 vs 1:7 for barrels < 8.3"

    1:5 is fine for barrels under 8 inches. A 9" barrel I would probably do a 1:6. In 2017 we had a local police agency that was looking for a very short (AAC honey badger like) SBR that would take a full BCG, had adjustable gas, MOA or better, and a carbine handguard (their were some other things...

    M855A1 Accuracy and Velocity

    I get that but I think you are talking about (may be wrong) their gun handling in somewhat close combat say within 100 yards. Which I would not disagree that they are clueless. That being said, it's not very difficult for a few guys to block roads with cars or trees and sit out 6-700 yards away...

    M855A1 Accuracy and Velocity

    I take it your not in the mountains much. As someone that is pretty good with an AR and taken numerous classes I am very worried of the guys with deer rifles that could set up an ambush and block off whole sections of land that you need to get around.

    M855A1 Accuracy and Velocity

    I have a 12.5 Hodge that generally runs fast and is typically sub moa (5 shot groups with 77 OTM Match). Just seemed odd to me that a 14.5 would be less accurate around a round Hodge said the barrels were built for.

    M855A1 Accuracy and Velocity

    As always thank you for your time in putting all this together. I was surprised by the accuracy or lack thereof of the Hodge.

    Which twist rate for 300 blackout?

    Its totally dependant on barrel length, with 300 the longer the barrel the slower the twist. You are good to go with 1:7 from 16" down to around 8". At 8" I would start to switch to a 1:6 till around a 6" barrel and below I would do a 1:5 although Q has has excellent luck with a 1:5 on a 7"...

    Ambi Lowers from ADM vs Falkor vs Seekins vs LMT vs LWRCi

    LMT is totally obtainable at that price, you just need to sign up for alerts and pull the trigger when it comes in stock. I have recived 2 or 3 notifications this year for under $300. To answer the OP's question, both LMT and ADM (only two on your list I have used) are excellent with solid...

    what do you think of AK?

    I would rather have an AR but I'm fine with an AK with a red dot and a light. That can easily be archived with an Ultimak and thorntail mount. I have a 74 arsenal that I would take to war if that was all I had. I think you should be agnostic with any of the systems and know how to run them all.

    Which should I vote off the island?

    Presample depot had then for around 3500 a while back. You could look around and find it cheaper. I just saw those about a month ago. But like LEO trade in GLOCKS they look like they have under 500 rounds of use.

    Which should I vote off the island?

    I think the SR is a special gun. On the Reliability side of the AR house it has features that no one else has. Because of that and it was the final chapter of Stoner I think it's a no brainer keeper. The HK in my opinion is not a special gun. If it was a real 416 upper than that would be...

    Adjustable vs Non-adjustable Gas Block

    Do you still have the A2 gas block? If you do I have seen this in the past where because the way the A2 and barrel mate up when you take that away you change the harmonics. I would generally recommend to shave down the A2 to fit under a free float handguard. This has the benefit of keeping the...
