    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    I sourced my own bolt(toolcraft dlc). I had a local gunsmith check headspace for me because he did it for free and thats a lot cheaper than buying a set of go-no go gauges. He didn’t give me measurements just said I was good to send it.

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    Interesting, I didn’t have to do anything with my virgin Alpha except lube the necks and run a mandrel through it.

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    Good deal, I have about 250-260 rounds on this barrel now so it’s as broke in as much as it will get by now.

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    Post what kind of results you are getting. I have only heard good things about the M89 rail. One thing i have started doing is incrementally placing the bipod closer to the receivers instead of all the way out toward the muzzle on the rail. I can only image there is more influence on the rail...

    6mm arc alpha and peterson brass experience?

    Some of the rounds where the velocity swings high(typically 40-50fps above the average)will show some slight ejector marks but not anything that really concerns me.

    6mm arc alpha and peterson brass experience?

    I just built a 6ARC upper a few months ago and started with Starline 6ARC brass to break it in and get initial velocity info. The Starline brass showed pretty early pressure signs even with the gas turned down pretty low(Superlative Arms adjustable gas block). This was with Leverevolutiins and...

    Glock .22 G44...?

    I bought a G44 within the first 3-4 months they were released. Mine was super finicky on ammo and how i stacked the ammo in the mags. I tried most available ammo that you could buy at wal mart, cabelas, academy, places like that. It was just finicky. Bought a Taurus tx22 comp and it has been a...

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    Im kinda battling with this issue right now and im leaning toward it being a fundamentals-consistency issue while shooting my rig from prone with bipod far forward and rear bag. All my groups are around 1”-1.25” and in that group I will have 3-4 rounds stacked in a .5”-.6” group and then a...

    Suppressors SOLVED - New to cans - by far my biggest surprise has been...

    I have never smelled anything like that from a can, even one taken off a recently fired gun with smoke still coming out of it. When running higher round count drills on AR’s the gas blowing back in my face from the charging handle and ejection port will have a little sting to the eyes and a...

    6mm ARC Gas Gun Barrel Lengths and Muzzle Velocities

    No I already had a BCG to use so i ordered just the barrel. So far it is looking promising thought. The first 20 rounds out if the barrel was a 87gr vmax with a random charge if varget that was fairly mild it printed three 5 shot groups back to back just over 1/2 moa.

    6mm ARC Gas Gun Barrel Lengths and Muzzle Velocities

    There are several older threads around with a lot of load data and velocity info in them. I would definitely take the time to search them up and read through them. That said, i have a PVA 20” 6ARC AR that has about 110-115 rounds down the tube so it could still be speeding up a little bit. I...

    ZEISS LRP S3 4-25 For Hunting?

    Usable depending on the environment color. Cut the illumination on the desired brightness(red or green)and its perfect.

    ZEISS LRP S3 4-25 For Hunting?

    I have two S3 LRP’s, the 6-36 and the 4-25. I really like them for price point and features. I have two G2 razors and while I prefer the zero system on the razor, I think the glass is a little better on the Zeiss and i prefer the feel of the turret adjustment on the Zeiss over the razor as well...

    Would you shoot this?

    I recommend to clean it for the same reason I recommend to clean a factory new barrel. If it is corrosion or some sort of buildup, I wouldn’t want a bullet with a lot of pressure and heat forcing it down the barrel and potentially causing more harm. Scrub out the loose stuff and then send it.
