    Hard decision: your thoughts between HCS recce or Noveske

    +1 on the above. Hard to go wrong in either rifle, but it really all comes down to what specific roles/purposes/expectations you have for the rifle as to which, if either, may prove to be the better option for you. Knowing more along those lines might help sway this decision toward one or the...

    DPMS 308 vs. Armalite AR10 BCG dimensional difference, my recent experience.

    +1 on the above! If I have said it once, I've said it 1k damned times...DO NOT MIX/MATCH DPMS AND ARMALITE PATTERN COMPONENTS ON ANY LARGE-FRAME AR BUILD (AT LEAST IN TERMS OF BOLTS/CARRIERS/BARRELS/EXTENSIONS/FIRING PINS/ETC.)! And tipper...well...what can I say, tip?!? ;)

    Dude on here that stocked McMillans...

    ^^ What the man said! ^^ There are also other folks on the Hide that deal in McM stuff, including but not limited to Accurate Ordnance and many others that might be able to help you out or at least cut down on the wait time a good deal that dealing direct with McM these days!

    Help with CMMG accuracy expectation

    He said above he's using Wipe Out...if that's the case and its the same product of that name that I'm familiar with, anything "blue" coming out on patches is indicative of copper fouling being removed as carbon build up is usually "tanish/brownish" in color if that's what's left in the bore...

    Drank the Geissle Kool-Aid Finally

    +1 on wanting to give the Hiperfire triggers a thorough T&E of my own. Alas...like Redmanss, I've got too many irons in the fire to do so now to do so, but they certainly seem promising on paper and from the couple reviews I'd trust that I've read on them. There's always room for another...

    308 side charger upper ???

    JP has arguably the "best" design for a CH based on my experience with them due to the NON-RECIPROCATING left-side CH mechanism. There are also companies like Fulton Armory which makes their "Titan" series rifles (and stripped uppers, side-charge BCGs, etc.). They are nice, but really are...

    Help with CMMG accuracy expectation

    If I missed it above, my apologies, but how many total rounds through the current barrel? Just seems like a WHOLE lot of copper fouling if you are just getting the rifle up and running. Furthermore, at this point in time...break-in isn't going to help! What's done at this point is done...

    want too learn long range shooting

    CLASSIC!!! ;) You know you are a hard-core, dyed in the wool, dedicated precision long-range junky when you have to eat @#$%ing Ramen noodles to be able to afford everything else that life throws your way in terms of guns/gear!! ;)

    want too learn long range shooting

    I see you updated your profile and are in Ashland! I lived in Huntington just across the way for a few years a couple decades ago. Lots of good places to shoot down that way (or at least...there were) and there's a fairly active Bluegrass State contingency here on the Hide with organized...

    Drank the Geissle Kool-Aid Finally

    The HS NM triggers (whether Match or DMR) have no comparison on the market today in my experience. They are simply outstanding in every respect, especially the man (and woman) behind the scenes with respect to Bill. Another shining example of putting the CUSTOMER in customer service. The SD-E...

    want too learn long range shooting

    ^^ What Kirk said!! ^^ Additionally, its "ARMALITE"...if you want a .308 AR, its an AR-10 and NOT and AR-15. Finally, as Kirk said, knowing your locale will help in getting you at least somewhat close to available ranges within a reasonable drive of you. Even if you don't have access to...

    Stiller vs. Seekins Lower

    I have not had the opportunity to test ANY Vltor upper with a Seekins lower so I can't comment on any compatibility issues, however, I don't foresee it being an issue as I have seen Seekins lower run with all manner of different uppers and haven't noted any incompatible models thus far. Drop...

    Stiller vs. Seekins Lower

    They are both of exceptionally high quality and backed by folks who you can count on if, God forbid, something goes awry and you need CS in a rush. That said, having used both, I prefer the Seekins thanks to the Ambi-bolt release, overall ergos/fit/finish, elimination of all the @#$%ing roll...

    sniper rifle question

    +1 on all of the above. With that serial prefix and number...it seems that somebody has got their wires crossed with your rifle's "born on" date whether its Remington (for whatever reason) or there's been a miscomm of some sort. As for pics...there are tons of hosting sites online from tinypic...

    Help me accurize my 6920

    I always thought that Trijicon's claimed velocities were a little on the "wishful" side of things, but I can't honestly see getting 3000fps+ out of 62gr from a 14.5" barreled M4 and frankly, even the 2970fps is probably on the wishful side of things. The 2970fps is the FM figure...which also...

    Help me accurize my 6920

    The biggest items that contribute to the accuracy of any AR-platform rifle are (VERY generally): a) a quality match trigger that is crisp, clean, and consistent (regardless of the total weight of pull, type, etc.); b) a quality barrel capable of delivering accurate performance in and of...

    Gunsmithing Looking for gunsmiths that can make an AR10 barrel from Krieger blank

    ASI would be my first thought as they have done a TON of .358Wins over the years in both Armalite and DPMS pattern uppers and they are proven performers. While I don't know if he's setup to offer the .358Win, you might check with Paul Craddock at Craddock Precision. Paul has built me and a few...

    9mm AR uppers?

    It was an absolute, unholy abortion of a system...PERIOD...despite the acclaimed "advantages" of being able to run their upper on an unmodified AR-15 lower, buffer, spring, etc.!! The old Oly system used modified Sten mags (feedlips modded along with mag catch cuts into the mag body) which also...

    Watch your playgrounds fellas!

    Now, now, now...let's be reasonable! Why waste good taxpayer dollars on such a worthless piece of @#$% when that kind of money annually could easily pay the salary for another NFA examiner? Far better use of the funds in my mind!! ;) Just saying...razor blades are far cheaper than...
