    "Budget" AR in 7.62x51

    Re: "Budget" AR in 7.62x51 For $1000, I think you're shooting yourself in the foot trying to do an AR in 308. If you're stuck on 308, get a bolt action and decent optic. If you're stuck on the AR platform, go 5.56. You'll have a MUCH better base rifle with either of these routes, and I...

    CZ Rifles

    Re: CZ Rifles I have a CZ550 full stock in 308.... It's a great rifle. I went with simple rings that attach directly to the receiver. They do make a one piece base that attaches to this for standard rings. CZ has it on their website.

    Long action? Or Short action?

    Re: Long action? Or Short action? The above is correct. Remington's website shows this model is only available in 308, which is short action. That will be a nice setup... be sure to post pics!

    Gunsmithing Dura coat

    Re: Dura coat I used an airbrush to spray an AR handguard OD green in order to match a Magpul stock and grip. It held up very well, and I would use it again. I've used duracoat, cerakote, alumahyde, and krylon... They all have their benefits.

    Muzzle Brake or Suppressor Effects on Gas System?

    Re: Muzzle Brake or Suppressor Effects on Gas System? Scientifically, I'm sure it does affect it slightly. Keep in mind, though, that even with a brake, the gases have somewhere to go. A suppressor is containing most of them to keep the noise down, whereas a brake uses them to push...

    6.5 Grendal

    Re: 6.5 Grendal Better performance from shorter barrels, ammo slightly more available off the shelf and has a better selection (though neither is really great), and more aftermarket support (mags, barrels, etc). I'm not saying the grendel is a crap round, saying my 6.8 is better than your...

    Gunsmithing How to clean muzzle face?

    Re: How to clean muzzle face? I bought a set of nylon brushes to clean "delicate" areas like this. It came with different thicknesses of the bristles, some soft and some pretty firm. They work well if it needs to be scrubbed. Otherwise, as stated, some solvent and a patch should get most of it.

    Same Price: Buy a rifle or build a rifle?

    Re: Same Price: Buy a rifle or build a rifle? I agree with above... If you have a specific configuration in mind that you're having trouble finding, build one. Otherwise, I think there are some really good options you can buy.

    T-shirt concept

    Re: T-shirt concept It looks good, but I do think it's a little busy. Perhaps take off one of the rings and put it in a line at the bottom or something. Good work though!

    Which Geissele for AR15?

    Re: Which Geissele for AR15? No first hand experience, but I'm planning to put one in an AR soon and from the research I've done, I'm going with the SSA-E. For what it's worth, I have had multiple RRA 2-stage triggers and while there are more expensive and better triggers out there, I've...

    Recommend a 17/18" SS barrel for AR-15

    Re: Recommend a 17/18" SS barrel for AR-15 Is there a reason you don't want mid gas? Do you have a budget in mindd? Other than Noveske, look at White Oak, Rainier Arms ultra match/match, and Wilson Combat. Shilen makes a drop in AR barrel as well.
