    Triggertech Diamond AR in a JP LRP07?

    I bought a Triggertech for my LRP07 and was about to do the switch. Quickly realized that the JP trigger assembly mounts differently than other ARs I have worked on. I searched online but can't find any instructions or videos on how to remove the JP unit. I have done trigger swaps before in...

    Loose muzzle brake changed POI but tightens groups?

    Was at the range today shooting a KRG SOTIC. I have a PVA Jet Blast self timing brake on it. The brake is awesome at reducing recoil but I noticed something odd today. My first group was about 1.25" high and .25" left of my normal zero but very tight; less than 3/8". So, thinking I must have...

    Quick Load bullet library question

    I just bought Quickload software v 3.9. I was under the impression that their bullet library was extensive and included pretty much all popular bullets. Instead, what I'm seeing is that only a small handful of popular bullets listed within a given caliber and some more that I've never heard of...

    Compass Lake Engineering AR 10

    Anyone have any first hand experience with the CLE AR 10? I was wondering how they compare to some of the top manufacturers like JP, GAP, Seekins, etc. I know CPE has a great reputation and their pricing seems pretty reasonable.

    Small primer brass with AR10?

    Has anyone used small primer brass in their large frame ARs? If so, any issues? Seems like that might extend brass life a little since primer pockets are generally the first thing to go, at least for me.

    JP LRP-07 and VVN-550

    Broke out my LRP-07 in 6.5 Creedmoor for the first time this season. Been wanting to try some loads with VVN-550 and finally got around to loading some up. Wish I had done this sooner. This powder works great in my rifle. I loaded mostly 123 SMKs, but also loaded 5 rounds with 130 ELDs and...

    Is this hacker mischief?

    Is anyone else seeing a bunch of threads full of Chinese characters? Is this the work of hackers?

    JP billet vs forged

    Getting ready to order a JP AR15. Going through their rifle builder app, I see that some models have billet receivers and others are forged. While I understand the difference between billet and forged, I'm wondering if the billet option is worth the extra $500 on the base price. What are the...

    DTA 284 Win conversion

    Wanted to post this on the official DTA thread, but couldn't seem to open that thread. So anyway, I have been thinking of doing a 284 Win conversion, but seem to remember hearing that 284 Win may not feed reliably in a DTA. Does anyone have any firsthand experience with this?

    Falkor Defense Dracos barrels

    Saw a video about these. Similar concept to carbon fiber wrapped barrels but with a different material. They have been using them on their ARs but now it appears they are offering barrels for bolt guns as well. Falkor is making some pretty bold claims about these barrels. One is a lifetime...

    G-9 Bullets

    Anybody try their target bullets? They look pretty similar to Flat Line bullets. Definitely the same principle... a high BC, light weight bullet. Wondering how they perform.

    Nuclear Exploit Kit Download 4?

    Over the last few days, every time I pull up the Hide website, I get a warning from my security software that it blocked an intrusion attempt called "Nuclear Exploit Kit Download 4". It appears to be some sort of malware that can be implanted into a website so the website ends up hosting it...

    Best sourse for a DTA SRS

    I'm considering picking up a DTA SRS and was wondering if some existing Hide members who have bought DTAs might not mind helping me out a little. It seems everyone who carries them lists the same prices. Who typically offers the best deals on these and what should I realistically expect to pay...

    Price check, please...

    Remington 700 bdl varmint special, 25-06, built in1971. Original trigger, HS Precision stock (never bedded). The action is in excellent condition, barrel looks good but has a substantial round count. Probably around 900. Still shoots sub moa, but not the tack driver it used to be. What'would...

    Older Remington 700 actions

    I have noticed that older Rem 700 actions seem to be thought of as superior to new ones and very desirable for builds. What makes them better (if in fact they are) and what production years are considered the best?

    pierced primers with moderate loads...

    I have a Savage Model 12 F-class in 6BR. I'm getting cratered and sometimes pierced primers with what should be moderate loads. I've tried a few different powders and results are the same. No other signs of pressure, such as flattened primer or hard bolt lift. I'm getting low to upper 2800 fps...

    Price checks allowed?

    I am considering selling a barreled action but I have no idea what a fair value would be since it is older and somewhat rare. I don't want to mention any details until I know it's not against forum rules to ask for a value check. Don't want to do it on the "Firearms for Sale" forum since I will...

    .284 175 GR MATCH TARGET XLD BERGER 100 CT (Anyone ever heard of this?)

    I just ordered 400 of these since they were the only match grade 7mm bullets I have been able to find. However, I just checked Berger's website and they don't list a 175gr, 7mm bullet. The only 175gr bullet I was able to find was a 30 cal. Anybody familliar with this? I tried to call the...

    TRG-22 + new Steiner Military 5-25 = falling in love all over again

    Took out my TRG-22 (Euro Optics .260 Rem) for the first time since last summer mounted with a new Steiner Military 5-25x56. Almost forgot how much I love this rifle and now I love it even more with the Steiner. Great scope! Here is a pic of my target. The top 3 groups are 42.0 gr H-4350. The...
