    8.6 blackout 8.5” barrel gas port size

    Had a customer bring in a Ruger SFAR with an 8.6 blackout barrel. He wants it chopped to 8.5”, threaded, and recontoured for a pistol length gas system. Does anyone have an idea of roughly where to start for gas port size on a barrel like this?

    Night Vision Luna vs FP15 or similar

    I have a Luna that has been “modified”. I’m pretty happy with how bright it is for long range illumination when used with a pvs27. My problem with it is how fragile they are. I feel like I’m going to snap it in half if my rifle bumps into something. Also the zero kind wonders as the adjustment...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 extractor install and ejector modification (.223 bolt face)

    Ive done M16 extractor installs before on 700's with standard and magnum bolt faces. The process goes: take a standard bolt face factory 700 bolt, open it up, solder a nose ring, face the new nose, bore the bolt to a .223 bolt face, then cut the extractor groove. This has worked just fine with...

    Batteries left in NV devices

    Everyone has heard and repeats to always remove batteries from NV devices due to possible corrosion. This makes since, Ive had that happen with AAA's in a head lamp. In the Marine Corps, turning everything into the armory had to have the batteries pulled out. 14's, 27's, peq's, everything...

    I am selling my personal 20" MWS barrel chambered in .308. It is a bartlein barrel blank and a press fit collar to convert it for an MWS. It shoots consistently sub MOA, but its not the best shooting bartlein Ive seen. Still shoots better than most factory MWS barrels Ive seen. Because of...

    Gunsmithing Sako AI extractor cut

    Does anyone know what tool is used to cut the extractor cut on a Sako AI barrel, or the specs on it? It looks like its convex. Does it use the same as the winchester pre 64 that PTG sells? Attached is a picture of the take off barrel.

    300 Win Mag Lapua brass neck thickness

    I have been shooting and building .300 win mags for years with the same reamer. I seated bullets in winchester, federal, hornady, norma, and remington brass and they were all around .336 loaded neck diameter. I was excited to see that Lapua came out with win mag brass so I picked up a box...

    Gunsmithing AR10 barrel extension for 22 Creedmoor

    I am looking for an AR10 barrel extension that allows smaller diameter and vld style bullets to feed properly. With a standard ar10 extension such as a JP the angle of the ramp allows the long skinny .22 and 6mm vld style bullets to slide between and slam into the back of the barrel. In other...

    Night Vision Trijicon Snipe IR vs IRAY RH25 for clip on

    I tried googling this and couldn't find a comparison. Does anyone have experience using both of these thermals strictly as a clip on in front of a day scope? Thought I was set on the RH25 until I saw the Snipe IR. Once again, strictly as a clip on in front of a day scope. Any thoughts?

    .375 Cheytac brass vs reamer base dimension

    Peterson brass measures .633 at the .200" mark at the base and my reamer is about .6395 at the .200" mark. There seams to be different specs on the Cheytac all over the place. Is this .0065 bigger base going to cause issues with brass expanding that much at the base? What are you guys using...

    22 Creedmoor twist rate

I am looking to strictly shoot 75 elm's out of this and I know the 8 twist is the way to go. I can find 7.7 and 7.5 twist, which...

    Gunsmithing Beretta apx carry problems

    A buddy brought me his apx carry because it doesn’t even fire. He said there might have been some trigger parts swapped out on it but can’t get ahold of the guy who did it. What’s happening is if you lower the slide slowly it won’t go into battery. If you drop it, it will usually close all the...

    Gunsmithing Ar10 feed cone dimensions

    I’ve been running a 30 degree feed cone going about .030” deep on ar10 chamber ends with JP extensions. If you go much deeper you’ll be loosing case support. The problem I’m having is getting 6 creedmoors to feed with berger hybrid bullets. The elds feed just fine but that long skinny nose of...
