    224 V and 77SMK

    I'm really considering a 224 for shooting gas gun series and local matches. Most we go out to 900. I'm comparing the ballistics now with 224v 77smk and 90smk. Out of a 20-22" 2+ barrel what are you guys actually seeing for velocity and whats your load?

    Gunsmithing Best way to remove rocksett from threads?

    Is there a quick way to remove rocksett off the threads? I'm switching brakes and while I got the brake off I've taken a broken x acto knife and use the thick part (not the blade) to break up the rocksett and then going over it with a SS or brass brush. It takes a while but get it clean. I...

    To build a M1a (M14) or AR-10

    I have a chance to buy a new loaded Springfield and been pondering over this. New loaded for $1,300 while they normally go for $1,600+. I love Garands and love it's "son" the M14/M1a. The role of this rifle would be local precision matches for gas guns out to 1k yards at least. Building a...

    Discolor/damage muzzle brake with solvent?

    Typically I just turn the rifle with muzzle down in a vise, so that the rifle is vertical. I then will put a small cup filled with hoppes and let it set over night. I didn't have any hoppes so I ran butch bore shine. I pulled my rifle out of the safe tonight, it's been 2 months since I...

    Can a SB die still be used to bump the shoulder like a FL?

    Reason I ask is I'm going to start to load for .308 remington (only .308 I own) I intend sometime in the next year to get a .308 semi AR platform and I know I'll need to run that brass through a SB. Brass for the Remington is fire formed. Trying to get out of buying two sets of dies.

    What AAC Muzzle device to use on Rem 700aac-sd

    I picked one of these rifles up for a good price and need a MD so I can mount my 7.62SD-N6 to. I like to use brake (or a combo) to help buffer the blast to the suppressor. I rather replace 100 MD vs suppressor and have to wait all over again. I shoot 50/50 as is with my SPR (.223) using the...

    My Dad and I were talking the other night and cleaning came up. As we all know there are 1,000,000 different ways to clean. What I did find interesting is when storing a rifle in the safe or in the house. When do you run a oily patch down the barrel or if ever if storage is longer than say 1...
