    To Arbor Press or not?

    Looking for anyone with experience running an arbor press and how it compares to a conventional press. Did you see obvious results in down range performance? I am also interested in an arbor press because it is more portable and less “work” in turn of cam over and effort. As a follow up, has...

    Magpul DT-PR Stock

    I am running a CTR on my “SPR-ish” rifle. I don’t love all the slop and I have tried a lot of the old tricks to get it out. I saw the new Magpul DT-PR stock and I am thinking about just dealing it out. Supposedly the new design locks up tighter than the old ones. DT = dual tension. Anyone have...

    Enhanced, Monolithic, Semi Monolithic AR-15 Uppers

    I am planning a “SPR/GPR” build and wanted to see if there were any upper receivers I should consider outside of the ones listed. I would like to use a monolithic, semi-mono, enhanced, etc. upper to reduce flex on the barrel. Ideally I would buy a mega mml but zev, in all their wisdom, decided...

    Primer Pocket Crimp Removal Tools

    I am going to start reloading 5.56 using LC brass. I need to remove the crimp from the primer pocket but I don’t want to swage. I would rather lightly trim the crimp out and give it a good bevel. I see 3 good options out there. 1. 21st century innovation adjustable depth uniformer 2...

    I am looking to purchase a couple more suppressors and I am considering the purchase of the 1.375” hub mount versions. If given the option, which hub/muzzle brake interface do you recommend. I will be using them on a large frame AR, small frame AR and potentially a bolt action. I see the...

    B-14R Steel in .17 HMR

    Anyone out there running a B-14R steel barrel in .17 HMR? How is the performance/accuracy? I want something a more lethal and flatter than a .22 LR for close range varmints. I like the R700 compatibility.

    Spiritus 34A vs Tracer Split Scout

    Good evening, LARPers I am looking to purchase a split rig system to carry magazine, water, equipment, etc. when hunting under nods. I will likely start most hunts in the late evening with 1-1.5 hours of daylight so the rig needs to be a split front system in case I want to shoot prone, off a...

    Bush Match Pro ED for .22 LR?

    I need another scope for my Vudoo .22 LR. I plan to run this in local matches with a max range of 300 yards. Anyone have recent experience with one of the Bushnell Match Pro EDs? I was looking at scopes in that price range, Arken EP5, PST II, etc. The Bushy has good reviews for durability...

    “Budget Bino” for son

    I am looking to get my son a “reasonable” binocular. I think that 8x42 or 10x42 range will be perfect for a young boy. Looking to spend $500-$1000. I see the Vortex Viper HDs for about $500. Alternatively, I see some Zeiss conquests and Leica Trinovids on sale for $700-$800. Thoughts on...

    GallowTech vs Secureit

    So, I am in the market for a couple of gun storage lockers. I plan on storing mainly equipment and a few guns. I don’t want to buy another large/heavy safe. I have narrowed it down to GallowTech and Secureit. Anyone else I should be considering? Anyone have either? GallowTech: a more...

    March FX 4.5-28x52 FFP High Master

    What is the word on this scope? I have the older 3-24x42 version and have enjoyed shooting it over the years. Now the FX comes out with a better turret, better reticle and a 34mm tube. I am looking at the for a hunting rifle and was considering the NF 4-16x42 until I saw it weighs roughly the...

    AG Composites - what’s the word?

    I am building a light weight 6.5 PRC and have seen a lot of buzz about these guys. Aero uses them for their Solus stocks and they have reasonable lead times. I was leaning towards a Manners LRH but short of finding one in stock, I am not willing to wait 6+ months on a stock. How does AG stand...

    Arca Vise Jaws for Barrel Swap

    To my surprise, I can’t find anyone who makes a RRS dovetail / arca jaws that fit my vise. I am using a Wilton. From my web surfing I found the “dependabite” which isn’t rated for barrel swaps, and the orange vise and area 419 kit (1600) I was just thinking, there has to be a way to mount my...

    Bartlein #3 in B&C Sporter

    Does anyone have experience running a Bartlein #3 in a Bell and Carlson sporter stock? I have a Tikka T3 Lite that I am planning to drop in a B&C Sporter. I have future plans to swap the barrel and go slightly heavier than the stock barrel. B&C was telling me that their sporter barrel channel...

    Boyds or Bell & Carlson - Tikka T3 Lite

    Good afternoon, My father-in-law passed me a Tikka T3 Lite in .270 WSM. The rifle shoots great but the stock is not cutting it for me. Does anyone have experience with the Boyd's Laminate and/or the Bell & Carlson sporters? Both companies make drop-in stocks for the light models but I...

    Suppressors Latest recommendations for a 5.56 can?

    I have a problem. I have 7 suppressors and not one of them is a dedicated 5.56 can. What is the latest craze right now? I am running a 11.5” SBR with adjustable gas and an LMT BCG so flow through doesn’t have much appeal to me. I could be convinced though. I have read they are quieter at the...

    Griffin Armament SN-ACH

    Anyone used one of these yet? I do not see much out there on YouTube/forums. Considering this for my .308 AR. I like the idea but the lack of info is concerning. Any feedback is appreciated.

    BCGs “Optimized” for Suppressors

    I am in the market for a new 5.56 and .308 BCG. I will use the rifles with a suppressor 99% of the time. The rifles are an SBR 5.56 and 16” .308. Is there anything to these suppressor optimized / enhanced BCGs? I see the LMT, LWRC, CMC and Lantac specifically call out design enhancements...
