I agree with the above post. I live about 2 hours from JG sales, have been to their shop multiple times and dealt with them at some area gun shows. I purchased a WASR 10 in person which they let me select from a crate for no extra charge. I did ask just as desidog reccomended and they didnt...

I have the Mark AR 6-18x on my AR10 and am pretty happy. I did have the conversion made to the elevation turret for my current load from the stock 55gr 5.56 load it was built for--thought thats a really cool feature from Leupold and I am sure they can do it for any of their scopes. I...

Did you buy it as a resale investment? If so...bad choice. Guns usually don't pan out, especially not now with the ar market like it is today. Many will ask this question but what do you ultimately want the rifle for? You mentioned a couple of reasons. I recommend you do a build and...

Learn something new every day. Mcrae, like your tagline.

Just so any curious folks are interested, I got my vise block today and it fits like a champ. It held to 75 ft. lbs, of torque in my vise and no damage to my upper receiver. I am very happy with it as well because if you flip it over it is machined for an AR15. Will work on that LMT I have...

Why do many AR barrels have a notch machined into them approximately 3/4" down the length of them? It is about .5" in width. Isnt barrel rigidity a key contributor to accuracy and if so, material removal does lower strength in that wall thickness? I cant imagine this is some type of weight...

I agree with what you are all saying. I found a block on midway after posting that is for upper repair only and attaches to the detent pins. 50$ isn't cheap but to have the tool and prevent damage is well worth the moola. Will let you know how it goes.

I am tightening a barrel on my rifle and need to find a proper clamp block for doing the job so I can give it the torque it requires. There are a plethora of them out there but I am not sure I like the design and was wondering if anyone has used the type that insert into the magwell. I will be...

Man, honest opinion, I wouldnt do it at all. As you mentioned, you have some nice rifles and without a doubt bigtime $$$ invested in them. I have shot Brown Bear, Silver Bear, and Wolf in my desert plinker AK only-and I mean ONLY!! I would never put that brand ammo in my AR's. It is not that...

5 in my rifle. DPMS LR308. Recoil is totally manageable. I shot all day this weekend and felt fine.

Lot of good information and I appreciate all of it. I looked up torques and they are going for 150+ so I think I am going to take it to a smith (different one) to lap and torque properly rather than me just guessing in the basement with my AR wrench. I noticed there is a good deal of oil...

I think you will have a hard time heating the barrel all the way up to 800F with a heat gun. Even if you can somehow get there, 800F is hot enough to alter the microstructure and could cause problems with integrity. Is there a reason you want to get it that hot?

I have a question about barrel nut tightness. I recently had a gunsmith remove my standard free float rail from my DPMS LR308 and I added a Troy Industries TRX Battlerail. I took the rifle out to the range on last Friday and I had an issue that I wanted to ask the experts. Right as I was...

The drama of the latest season definitely disappointed me however I agree that the challenges are awesome. To me there is totally a market for what you describe. PS jamie got the shaft

I purchased the Umarex HK416 last weekend and ran a helluva lot of rounds through it last weekend. After a day of shooting and a box of 525 not one malfunction or problem. A friend also bought a tactical .22--the ISSC Scar clone. Cannot say the same for his as he had multiple jams of the...
