Has anybody taken this dude's lunch money yet?
I used to do accuracy and final shooter QC as an independent contractor for a particular rifle manufacturer most here would recognize. I preferred to be independent because that would allow me to call out any problems I found without worrying about employment, and them still being held to the contractual arrangement.
At that time, the company used a lot of LW barrels, as well as Krieger barrels.
Many of the LW pipes would either need to be tested over and over until we could get a good 3 round group, or they would be rejected because we couldn't get a test target to ship with the rifle that met the standard.
Almost all of the Krieger barrels would crush it out of the gate, easy initial grouping, box it up and send it off. Some I would have to re-test.
I was going back and forth overseas at the time working with coalition sniping community partners in Europe, and the topic of LW barrels came up.
One guy owned his own firearms retail business there, and said basically what he heard at IWA (the European SHOT show) from LW was that they keep all their pipes that pass their German standard QC processes for the European market, and send the reject barrel blanks to the US "because stupid Yankees don't deserve the best they have to offer, can't shoot anyway".
The accuracy problems were not as bad with .308 bores though, so a lot of those shot just fine. In the 6mm bores and .338 LM, we had a lot that just wouldn't shoot. There was one particular customer that ordered a .243 Winchester initial barrel that would put 4 rounds into a bug hole, then always throw the 5th at 1.7" at 100yds. It was vexing, and repeatable no matter the shooter.
I don't recall if I ever got a .338 LM to shoot into the standard out of the gate with LW pipes. Maybe half of them would shoot 3rd groups after some breaking-in.
BTW, all the test ammo we were using was Lapua coming in on pallets in ammo cans. It was crazy burning through .338 LM just to do 100yd accuracy testing, sending nearby shooters packing after I politely warned them that they probably didn't want to shoot next to me at the range with that big muzzle break and .338LM or some of the .300 WM barreled-rifles.
The LW pipes I've used that were sourced within Europe were very accurate, including the 6.5mm and .338 LM ones. A good friend of mine had a custom LW pipe made for his rifle to shoot the GS Customs really long bullet, and we were punching chunks out of side plates from APCs at considerable distance.
Same with .260 Rem and 6.5x47 Lapua rifles. Anyway, this is what I think of when I see LW pipes and accuracy mentioned.
It is pinned with a MAMS on it, but my 11.5 is SBR'ed. Its a good soft shooting rifle but honestly I wished I had just pinned the factory flash hider for less concussion at the muzzle. Recoil is already almost nothing on the SR15.Did you have the 14.5 pined and welded or is an sbr?
Most of the ranges around me have been closed. But I’d say most people are probably are not that concerned with hurry to the range to dump $30-$50 in match grade ammo to prove someone wrong that will Likely try to find any way to weasel out of paying up.Has anybody taken this dude's lunch money yet?
Do you have footage of your 600 yard off hand shot from a tree stand?
Seems logical because all the other manufactures from ruger, larue, Daniel defense, etc.... have never had a failure or had to warranty any work. I’m sure they don’t even staff a customer support team because their rifles don’t fail and if they do the customer is dead.No I did not call Knights, I figured if I where dead what good would a phone call do.
Yes and its filmed through a Leupold MK4 spotter and also camera was popped off and then connected to a sig kilo 2000 immediately to prove range. I need to post it and the 440 yard headshot.
Not trying to be mr super tacticool.....just using the gear I own effectively.....meat goes to freezer and feeds my family.
Sharfshutz762 started that by trying to shit on me with my savage and cheap scope.
I don't claim to be the most awesome shooter out there because I know I'm not.
History interests me (especially military history) so all the equipment used and how it came to be makes for good reads/viewings.
Sr25/m110, mk12....lists goes on and on of rifles I'm a "fan of" so to speak. MK12 was developed with 5th group which is close to where I grew up and Crane isn't too far.
Sr25/m110 has dropped a lot of individuals need to eat lead.
I am thankful I wake up every day in the land of the free and HOME OF THR BRAVE. Those that have served THANK YOU. I am privileged and honored to serve those who have served.
A good watch for everyone is Mike Ritland and Nick Irving (Nick's book is great too.)

Nice! Yeah was really a ding on you more of asking for curiosity when you said no one gave you accolades in here for such An achievement and were dining on the elitist mentality. I have taken plenty of game from around 300 yards. Mostly because I hunt in Kentucky, you don’t get typically get a lot of range when it comes to hunting.
That’s a bummer on the elk! I actually live in southern, OH nowPoint taken, sounds like I came off like an asshole...wasn't my intention and kudos for calling me out on it
You will like videos....I live in Kentucky (wasn't lucky enough to get selected this past Saturday for Elk though)

To the OP I challenge you to put up a Large Frame AR that can shoot a 6x5 under .75” MOA. In addition can shoot a wide range of ammo light and heavy projectiles suppressed and unsuppressed Without any modification to the gas system or buffer. If you can produced this I’ll trade you My ECC straight up for said rifle.

Whats wrong with someone spending good money on a good gun? Not everyone wants a backyard build with mix and match parts, or cares to brag that "I only spent $27 and a pack of bubble yum to make a sub Moa rifle". I like nice rifles, all my glass is nightforce, all my rifle suppressors are Surefire. Can I build a rifle? Sure, im an armorer for my agency and ive built plenty, but I also like nice things and dont mind paying for them if they are a quality product. Ive built many cheap camaros, mustangs and corvettes, many of them running 9s and 10s with over 800 horsepower, but I can tell you none of them ever compared to my BMW M5, even though it *only* had 700 hp and wouldn't have beat any of them at the drag strip, followed closely by my 600 hp M3.I only made it through 3 pages of this shit show. No targets, no groups. A bunch of whiners who paid for copies of Uncle Sam's guns instead of buying something accurate. I'd be happy to make a sub MOA copy, but I wouldn't spend $4k on it with a can and stamp. Instead showing off micropenises go shoot something.

I did my 20, hence "Retired Swab Jockey", thanks for your input.**This comment brought to you by a civilian, protected by American military men with Knights rifles and other manufactures that shoot < 1 MOA**
I wasn't making fun of what they spent, I'm making fun of their pissing contest. Go fuckin' shoot something instead of pissing and moaning about it.Making fun of people who spend a lot on firearms or accessories makes you the same douche as those with money making fun of people who can only afford to spend $400 on an AR15.
I shoot past 1,000 all the time...I wasn't making fun of what they spent, I'm making fun of their pissing contest. Go fuckin' shoot something instead of pissing and moaning about it.

Oh this will be good...Just imagine, in 15-20 years those $5,000-$6,000 sr-25s and $10-$12,000 mk12s won’t be worth jack crap.....
But my Rolex watches will be worth 2-3 times what I paid.
You’re stupid in the head if you spent $8,000 on a SR-25 /optic/ can package just to post on an online forum photo thread.

I'm only agreeing because it is so simple to know:Just imagine, in 15-20 years those $5,000-$6,000 sr-25s and $10-$12,000 mk12s won’t be worth jack crap.....

I have a 50 BMG, want to change it to "Shoot to 1,000 yards, through a brick wall, at a target inside a car" for fun?Bringing Miley Cyrus on a wrecking ball to a gasser fight.
I would raise you 375 CheyTac BUTT!!! you are unworthy.
I was trying to find my 1 mile videos and gas gun videos, but all I could find was my 13 inch Scar at 700 and 800m, and the warmup videos for my win mag. Childs play..."Go shoot something" was meant for the posters earlier but now I'm jealous. I only get to shoot 1K a couple times a year and not quite as well.

You realize the market for Knights rifles didn't start at 10-12K for MK12, right? I suppose you make fun of people who buy machine guns as well for $30,000+, not realizing that many bought them for $1500 or less before the ban and are now worth 20 times what they paid. Sure you might make 5% or so a year on your Rolex, but ive doubled my investment with Knights, HK and many others in the time it took me to get bored of it and list it online, and the values only go up. In fact, id go as far as saying there won't be a time in history when any popular name brand is worth "jack crap". Even the Colts no one cared about a year ago are worth 3-4 times their original value right now. Just because you like to buy garbage firearms that have zero value when you buy them, and zero value when you try to sell them, doesn't mean quality stuff doesn't have a better market.Just imagine, in 15-20 years those $5,000-$6,000 sr-25s and $10-$12,000 mk12s won’t be worth jack crap.....

I can see it now... he's happy as can be shooting his JP rifle, then he looks over to his left and sees the crowd wooing over a SR25... Then he says "Hey Look! I have a JP rifle! They are WAAAYYYY more accurate and can shoot sub MOA 6x5s!". The crowd went back to taking selfies with the SR25, telling stories of their victories in battle, and the day was won by Knights Armament.I'd like to know what the guys name with the SR25 was that broke your heart..
What a random ass dumpster fire thread to start lol
B-Series ARMALITE Double Hand-Lapped C-L'd 20" AR-10A4.
It's fancier younger brother beat the piss out of the M-110 Survey..
Is Kevin allowed to talk about it... by now?
Does your recorded zero look like mine on page one?
You should post it.
We shoot different games.

Today's 100 yard slow prone. Home built AR-15, Vortex Viper 1-4 (My current match rifle.), MK262MOD1, 100 yards. 90 degrees and killer humidity.
Called flyer 7 at 11 is 3.66, the other 19 are 2.8. Not sure how I pushed the one at 2 O'clock out there but I'll claim it.

You guys paying 2k more for a KAC than a LMT are retarded. You better hope the markets are as retarded as you in 10yrs lol
1. I never said an SR25 wasn't accurate.I think I missed the joke.
Says an SR25 is not an accurate weapon, says he can make a sub MOA copy; and then posts minute of barn door groups with a home built small frame.

I called LMT and tried to give them money, they said we dont sell rifles direct, go to a distributor. I said ok, find me a distributor with a MWS Sniper package in stock... they said none have it, we can build you one to order and have it done around November.You guys paying 2k more for a KAC than a LMT are retarded. You better hope the markets are as retarded as you in 10yrs lol
