    Aero Precision, going out of business or?

    Lots of jabber about them owing the people that do coatings for them. They had Christmas sales and I happened to buy two lowers from them. First they said they didn't have a copy of my FFL guy's license. Then they were being difficult about getting his license, after he had sent it twice again...

    Developing a load for your gas gun, with or without suppressor?

    Just as the title says. I'm curious because I only have one can, a TBAC Ultra 9, and I get a lot of carbon back into the action of the Aero .308 i built. I'm thinking I should just use the .30 cal Area 419 brake I have and then remove it from the adapter and mount the can. What's your procedure?

    New build, tried something different

    I decided to build a 20" .308 but went with an odd combination. It is a +2 gas system, fluted, cryo treated, X-caliber in an SPR contour with a 1:9 twist. I already had the lower. It's an M5E1 Aero upper. The handguard in also Aero and the SA agb is sticking out a bit from the rail even...

    What is causing my horizontal wiggle?

    When I'm using a bipod and a rear bag, whether off the bench or prone, I have some horizontal wiggle. I feel like I've cleaned it up some by pulling the stock tighter into my shoulder while not tensing. I'm still more stable with a sling and jacket from prone, or just bags on the bench. I...

    Does anybody own a dual illumination RMR?

    If you do, is your reticle bright? I have no experience with this particular model but bought one recently. It is supposed to be the RM08 12.9 amber triangle reticle but is A) tiny and B) dim as shit. I never owned one but saw where people in the GWOT with the same dual illumination ACOGs had...

    What happened to Dracos Barrels?

    The website appears to be gone and no mention of them on Falkor site. I wanted to try one of their 6.5CM barrels on an Aero Precision upper.

    FYI, WOA SPR barrel sale on Monday the 19th

    I'm not affiliated with them. Just letting you all know it's their sale, $80 off SPR barrels and uppers. I got an 18" last year but took some time to receive and I still need to finish its upper.

    Does anybody own a Seekins .223 upper or barrel?

    I started off with an 18" barrel from them during a sale at least three years ago. Now it's all Seekins except for the gas block and Lantac E-bcg. I'm guessing the barrel is actually a button rifled Rock Creek but not sure. I haven't shot it off the bench for any meaningful test. I have an...

    SWFA tax day sale

    If you ever wanted to buy a 10X fixed as a beater spare or loaner now is probably the time to buy one. 1-4x, and 3-15x are cheap as well. It looks like they're getting rid of old stock, maybe a new line is finally coming? No, I'm not affiliated with them.

    Help me purchase some new Form 4 suppressors

    I'm going to pull the trigger on 3-4 suppressors within a month or so. I don't keep up with the latest and greatest which is why I'm asking for opinions. I'm looking for a rimfire can, a can for handguns up to .45acp, and another centerfire can or two for semiautos. I already have an .30 cal...

    Geissele is apparently going full retard Hornady style

    For the love of that federal contract $$$, obey the king's jab mandate or suffer the consequence.
  15. Mike_in_FL

    I think someone was looking for these, Hornady 73 ELD-M

    Blue Collar Reloading has a bunch. I thought I saw a thread where someone was using 75 BTHP because they couldn't find these. I've placed one order with BCR because they had something priced right off the Discord server. I get no money from them.

    What is up with Podbean? Are others seeing this?

    I have seen this before but I'll mention this now before I go senile again and forget it. I was re-listening to episodes and got up to # 265. It's showing up as over 5 hours long. It seems to be an hour-ish as usual but it continues on into silence, maybe an extra 4 hours of it. There's...

    Just paid for my Auto Trickler V3, what Area 419 goodies should I get?

    I remember folks saying you don't need the entire kit. So what's the consensus on the must have items? TIA

    Does anybody know where to find a .675 collar for dedicated .22 AR upper?

    Apparently CMMG changed their dimension to .700 and per Lothar-Walther I need a .675 to use their barrel. Thanks for any info or leads on getting one this size.
