Nice AR, enjoy it. The builder's lessons I learned first were Pick a hand guard with anti-rotation tabs of some kind and don't bother trying to crank down the barrel or muzzle device without a good vice and block/reaction rod. The big takeaway from your story, which is something I harp on...

I have a 1:7 PSA pistol that shoots terribly with 55g m193, which is my practice ammo of choice. So, I reload 75g Hornady OTM for it, solved that problem immediately. I also agree that absolute accuracy needs to be defined with a good scope. I'll be really surprised if this is anything but...

Going price for these starts at $800 and goes up, with most maxing out before $1800. Special rifles (Garand's Garand, for example) can go into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Are you sure? I seem to recall that the cheap x39 had a steel rod beneath the point - I could be mistaken, I know that there is conflicting information on the web. I do know they are steel jacketed (copper plated) as well, but I thought the steel rod was the reason they don't like the imported...

I think you're overgeneralizing. Supers out of a carbine length barrel are roughly equal in energy to 6.5 grendel or x39. Think 125g SST @ 2400 FPS. That's a solid pig or deer gun. At hunting ranges (100-200 m) the grendel, 6.8spc, 300aac and x39 are all very similar terminally. I agree that...

I have a hard time finding x39 bullets or loaded ammo other than imported FMJ type ammo - the imported hollow points and SP are steel core so they are effectively FMJ too. .308, on the other hand, I have a dozen different choices of bullet and even more loaded ammo at my local Bass Pro. I have a...

Like Space Ghost, I like the 300aac for lightweight, supersonic bullets in pistol length barrels. I have an 8" that is my HD weapon - a 110g VMAX pushed to almost 2200fps with no recoil or flash provides enough power without the overkill that a .308 would be, and quite frankly the 5.56 in...

This really needs to go up the ladder to SCOTUS. Chicago's handgun ban is unconstitutional, but yet an AWB is fine? I might be missing some minutiae, but it really doesn't make sense.

It's also very mild to shoot, with minimal report and micro recoil - since it has good powder burn in short barrels, it's not blowing a ton of unburnt powder out of the front too. I think of the 300aac as a pistol cartridge that can be used in carbines. It's almost a rifle caliber, and almost...

I walked away from this thread for a couple of months and it took on a life of it's own - love to hear all of your stories! I am trying to fix a date to go find some ducks this year - I have a bunch of friends in central IL who have volunteered to drag me along - I'm sure the Remington is...

I did not know this, I will look into it - my next build will be a rifle caliber (not 5.56 or 300aac) with some gettyup, and I've been considering grendel for it. I have also considered 6.8, but I have read mostly mixed reviews. I guess I've never seen a grendel pistol - not that I've looked...

I like it for home defense. I dont know any other chambering - and anyone may correct me if I'm wrong - that moves a 110g vmax/barnes blacktip at over 2100fps out of 7.5" barrel. 30 rounds on tap. Tiny gun. I have a 16" for hogs, the recoil is very light so I have lots of follow up power...

I just finished putting this bubba back to fighting trim. I probably overpaid but it sure is fun to bring a gun back from the purgatory of someone else's bad decisions . I'll buy another if I can find the right price.

.32 is my favorite handgun round - it amazes me that it was such a prolific m&p round for so long, and hearkens back to days of a demilitarized police...and demilitarized criminals. If you're collecting, the PPK (not PPK/S) is .32 is an absolute must have, but you'll pay dearly. If anyone has...

This is the hardening issue that Century has dealt with - from what I have experienced and read, properly hardened parts WILL NOT peen and wear just as hard as any other AK will. Certainly my personal rifle is at about 1200 trouble free rounds - there are markings on the BCG that indicate how...
