  1. These have actually been around for many years.  I saw one in person [under a lexan case] at Knob Creek about 15 years ago.  I was told when I asked, the cost was just over 6 figures and the wait was LONG.  

  2. FC case
    Winchester large rifle primer
    44.0g of IMR 4166
    150g Sierra Game King


    This will make a 2.00 inch group at 100 yards from my FNAR......and that's a TEN round group. Not some cheaters 3 round group that only tell lies. This is my 'Go To' inventoried load. It's about the ONLY .308 load I currently load. I shoot this load stone cold barrel or so hot I get heat mirage in the scope, it performs the same every time.
    From a fouled, warm (not hot) barrel, it will put 5 rounds in a 1 inch circle at 100 but opens up a touch as heat builds. Some of it may have to do with the fact that I am a sucky shooter too.
    I'm loving the new Enduron powder too by the way.


    As always, start with a starting load and consult your load manual. Use at your own risk.
  3. I don't know if any of you D&D adventurers ever read the Heritage of Shannara series back in the day but it was an excellent series.
    I actually read the Elf Queen first, I couldn't get the ones before it at the time. Lol!


    If you liked the Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, you might check out the new tv series starting January 5th The Chronicles of Shannara.

    In the interest of full disclosure though, it's gonna be on Mtv so the chances of fail are high.
  4. This might seem a bit crazy to some, BUT

     

    If one were brave enough to take a legally purchased suppressor and pin & weld it to a shorter than 16" barrel to make the OAL 16+ inches, would that not be the same as any other 'muzzle device'?

     

    I really don't want to wait around for ANOTHER stamp for my 9mm AR build. Once completed I would have suppressed for good anyway and not remove it.  Despite my propensity for cast lead, i would even stay away from that and shoot only jacketed/plated loads so the need for disassembly would be rare, if ever.  

     

     

     

    Just curious for opinions and thinking out loud.  

  5. Start with the simplest things first. What ammo and magazine are you using? You don't see magazine problems in AR's too often, but still.

    Next, did you do a thorough cleaning and lube job before you shot it? Many if not most guns need to be cleaned and lubed before you run them. That sticky crap they use for packing grease is often the culprit.

    Try that before you do anything.

    I'd also be sure everything is torqued to spec and assembled correctly. Bought an upper a few years ago and the barrel nut wasn't even tight. No, I mean, I took it off without a wrench.

    Does it have a clamp on gas block or pinned? Clamp on gas blocks are easily misaligned. By not even attempting to cycle, it sounds like a gas issue to me, but without seeing it, who can say for sure.
