    Chronicling all the optics that have failed me

    I see alot of posters come aboard to ask questions about optics on their long range guns as scopes and mounts will always be a weak point for a rifle set up no matter the amount of money spent. For this reason I have decided to chronicle all the optics and mounts that have failed me or caused...

    Christensen Arms MPR .300 inaccuracies. Rude customer service and lousy manufacturing.

    I want to start off by saying I am no rookie when it comes to long guns. I'm no competitive shooter, but I know more than a thing or two about guns. My family has had an FFL for years. I have way more precision rifles in 6.5, .308, .300, .22-250 than is reasonable. I routinely shoot "long...

    Troubleshooting Savage model 10 in .308 WIN

    I got a savage model 10 in .308 Winchester with the accu-trigger as a Christmas gift in 2012 and I had numerous issues with failing to feed. It would push the tip of the round out then next it might push the tip in but the end of the round is out or it might just jam the round forward and blunt...

    Hangfire problems- RE15 and wolf primers?

    I was testing loads today for a 6.5X47 Lapua. I just received some Wolf small rifle magnum primers and a new lot of Re15. I have never used wolf primers which seem to be highly regarded here. I figured i would test them out at the same time I tested the new Re15. Every few rounds I would have...

    5.56 case length with bullet problems now!

    I just trimmed 50 rounds of LC 5.56 and was thinking maybe I trimmed to much. I am loading for a 5.56 AR15 and read the Hornady manual and it says 1.750, is this right for 5.56?

    Gunsmithing More 700 Ejection Problems

    I have had this issue for quite some time. When I run the bolt as quickly as I can, I will sometimes have a case end up backwards in the ejection port. Originally I thought this was from the oversized turrets on the Falcon Menace. I had brass marks on the turret from cases striking it. I...

    Gunsmithing .233 ammunition versus 5.56 pressure problems

    I built a couple of AR-15 uppers for some clients and when test firing each upper I could not get the bolt to latch back on the last shot. After changing gas blocks, BCGs, etc, I finally tried some 5.56 ammo and it worked fine. The ammo I was originally using was .223 PPU 69grn. Has anyone...

    I've put together an AR from some bits and pieces that I've picked up over the past several months. Got out to shoot it yesterday and had cycling issues from the start.

    Rifle Scopes USO Problems (Dust / Dirt) - Anyone Else?

    I have a brand new SN-3 that I received back in April and have so far been extremely disappointed with the quality. The optic was clear when I received it, but when I mounted it I noticed that there were several areas where dirt or dust fell on the glass. As disappointed as I was, I called...

    RRA Problems

    I bought a RRA coyote carbine and put no more than 650 rounds down the tube. I now have a problem. The weapon is short stroking (I fire one round and next "click"). At first I thought it was the extractor (nope) and than I thought it was the carrier key possibly coming loose (nope). I've been...

    Well I have had my DPMS LR308 for a week now and have taken it out to the range twice. I like the rifle BUT I have an issue with it. On only the 3rd and 2nd to last round in the mags when the bolt goes to cycle it skips over the head of the round, starts feeding the round by grabbing the body...

    Suppressors Kahr problems

    I bought myself a Kahr 45 CW. It has a problem where it feeds the rounds but then fails to fire. So it would be like this: 1. It fires, 2. it ejects, 3. pull trigger no fire. Each time all it takes is a chamber check and then its ready to fire again. Does anybody have a suggestion.
