    Suppressors AR action not cycling fully with TBAC 30P-1 attached

    Glad to hear the heavy buffer got you sorted out, Richard. Best of luck with the Sentry AGB. I think you'll be VERY pleased with the results/flexibility it affords you. Also, hang on to your standard wt buffer/spring just in case. Once you get the Sentry installed, you can remove the heavy...

    Barre cut down?

    Not all barrels were created equally, but with a quality tube, going from 20" to 18" with a match load of a 69gr SMK, I'd guess you'll lose ~50-60fps. YMMV! You might just ask the folks at ADCO outright what they think and if they have any opinions on the matter. In many, MANY years of...

    Barre cut down?

    Depending on what ammo you are primarily running in the rifle, you won't notice a HUGE decline in MV going from a 20" to an 18" barrel. Furthermore, you won't experience a significant reduction in max effective range either. That said, a quality AR smith that deals in barrel work should be...

    FAL's

    The words "precision" and "FAL" generally should NOT be used together! Some of the DSA's I have seen were quite capable with ammo tuned to their liking, along with a decent optic and shooter doing their part, but at best, I'd call them no better than 1.5 MOA on any meaningful, consistent basis...

    BAR White gold medallion (ammo?)

    75gr should be fine.

    Atlas rail mount

    The ARMS mounts are renowned for doing just that...BREAKING!! ;) The ADM mount is a MUCH better product in every respect, but particularly the adjustments and the strength of the lever and mount as a whole. I know its a big pill to swallow, but its worth the price of upgrade. If you don't go...

    BAR White gold medallion (ammo?)

    Sorry...should have been more specific. I mean in terms of both reliability (fairly lightweight loads like that may hamper reliable cycling/operation of the rifle) and in terms of accuracy as the 55gr stuff is fairly lightweight (although certainly not outside the realm of "reasonable" for a...

    Atlas rail mount

    You mean JUST the mount-portion of the Atlas bipod? If so, I have honestly NEVER seen one for sale before. You might contact Kasey here on the Hide or otherwise Accu-Shot directly by phone or e-mail and see if they can sell you one. If you have a BT10-NC and are just looking for a mount, go...

    +1 on the above. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours as you go through this ordeal.

    BAR White gold medallion (ammo?)

    Should be a 1:10 twist if I remember correctly. I can't recall what the mag limitations are for that particular BAR, but it really shouldn't make much difference in .243Win. Your top end in terms of max bullet weight will vary somewhat depending on the specific bullet design, but I know many...

    A2 buttstock and prone shooting

    If you are just wanting something for the A2 stock you have now, then check out the Sorbothane buttplate offered by Kick-Eez which is a bolt-on replacement for the standard plastic trapdoor buttplate. Same for the rubber buttplates offered by John Masen. All will add at least SOME length...

    LRP-7 MOA rail?

    Something sounds awry if you have only 7mils of elevation adjustment in one direction and 2.5x that in the other direction with a basic 100yd zero. What optic/mount/rings are you currently running? Did you reset your turrets correctly after zeroing? Zero-stop (if applicable) not fudging...

    Summer will SUCK...

    Damn!! That REALLY sucks!!! Hopefully you'll get it scheduled ASAFP and then get on to the healing/rehabing quicker so that once late summer rolls around, you'll be ready to get a jump on things then. In the meantime, best wishes and God speed you to a successful surgical fix and smooth...

    Got the AK itch, looking for some advice.

    The Bulgy/Circle 10 Waffle mags work flawlessly for poly mags, as do the quality steel surplus mags I have run, including Bulgy, Romanian, Russian, Chinese, etc. Save the new Magpul AK mag offerings which show a LOT of promise, all of the US-made AK mags (ProMag, Tapco, etc.) are just pure...

    Criterion 308 AR barrels

    That's your call. I'd put the overall quality of the Criterion M110 and that of the Rainier UM barrels about on par with a slight edge to the UM in terms of its accuracy/guarantee and the quality of the overall workmanship/fit/finish of the Shilen Match blanks that Rainier spec'd for their UM...

    Can we please stop calling them "sticks"?

    But is it ok if I still tell someone that they seem to "have a major stick up their @$$" or are "being a stick in the mud" or other such uses of the word "stick?" What if someone is "being a real pill" or otherwise needs to "take a pill?" ;) All word/grammar/spelling/puntuation-nazis, please...

    Criterion 308 AR barrels

    The DPMS 24", non-fluted barrel weighs just about 1/2oz short of 5lbs!! It is a total pig of a barrel by any and all large-frame AR standards! The M110 from both Krieger and Criterion weigh in at just a hair over 3.5lbs so if that's the direction you are headed, your savings will be just a...

    Got the AK itch, looking for some advice.

    I have run a variety of Arsenal AKs over the years and have always found them to be at or very near the top of the food chain for production-quality AK variants (eliminating all the "custom" shop AKs of course). The fit/finish/component quality and overall value of the Arsenals is just tough to...

    What's your favorite adjustable gas block?

    They are relatively new to the market having only been out since ~1st of the year now so you won't find much in the way of lengthy reviews or long-term results showing how they hold up over time/thousands of rounds. Having used their previous DA design blocks and having talked extensively with...

    What's your favorite adjustable gas block?

    Your search-fu sucketh, sir!! ;) Look, there are a host of quality adjustable gas blocks on the market that vary considerably in terms of their price-points, adjustment methods, design, sizes, construction, etc. Each have their pros/cons and those vary a good bit primarily based on what the...
