    Jewel trigger failures in the field?

    What about the single and two stage Huber triggers, are they worth looking at over the jewell?

    Suppressors AR action not cycling fully with TBAC 30P-1 attached

    You might look into trying some different buffers and buffer springs or even an adjustable gas block.

    Badger bottom metal question

    That makes sense. Never thought about the price of the mags making the difference. I've signed up on every email notification list I could find for .223 AI mags, so hopefully something will come up and if some do I'll let you know. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

    Badger bottom metal question

    Yes I was talking about the DBM. I figured that as long as it was a short action it would work. I just noticed on Badgers site they show a DBM for the .223 and it's even a little cheaper, so I wasn't sure after that. I emailed Badger and they said both would work in the same inlet. Yes I've...

    Badger bottom metal question

    I'm working towards building a .223 bolt gun and I've found a manners stock that has been opened up for the badger bottom metal. Now my question is, is the badger .223 bottom metal the same on the outer dimensions as the badger bottom metal that accepts the .308 magazines. I mean of course the...

    manners and harris bipod

    You could always buy an adapter to run a Harris bipod. American Defense Mfg. makes a solid adapter.

    Kestrel 4500nv Applied Ballistics?

    Yes it would be nice for a step by step initial setup video. Most I have seen just give a quick overview, Ryan's video was a pretty good one on how to set it up but still a little quick. I think once I have one in hand it will be easier to understand.

    Kestrel 4500nv Applied Ballistics?

    That's really great to know, all the stuff I have read and the videos I have watched have my head spinning, I'm glad to know it's pretty straight forward process.

    Kestrel 4500nv Applied Ballistics?

    Can you determine your muzzle velocity with it or would I have to track down a chrono to?

    Kestrel 4500nv Applied Ballistics?

    How easy is it to set up, like from the stand point of never using any type of ballistics application what so ever?

    Kestrel 4500nv Applied Ballistics?

    I would like to know as well. Also is this a smart purchase for a beginner long range shooter?

    Remington 5R .223

    Well I did own a good .308 but I had to sell it to pay for some other things, so as of right now all I have is an AR-15. The thought of using the .308 as a donor never really crossed my mind at the time. So now I'm trying to get another bolt gun and wanted to start with the .223 and work my way up.

    Remington 5R .223

    I had been eye balling the Tikka Varmint .223 for awhile until I found out about the change in the twist here in the states, so I had moved on passed that and went back to the Remington. I would love to get a Tikka, just hate to wait that long for the next batch of 1-8's to hit here. That's good...

    Remington 5R .223

    Can you use an action with a .308 bolt face for a .223 build or will it not work properly?
