  1. How bad did you curse when you put the bolt catch roll pin in?
  2. Please let me know where to get 1000 to 2000 pieces of 5.56/223 brass for $20 to $30.
  3. I have a Jard Adjustable Trigger 1-1/2 lb Single Stage, JP enterprises, and Mil spec trigger that I did a trigger job on. I like them all. The Mil spec has a long pull but is only about 2 lbs. The JP and Jard have that bolt action feel. Just make sure you adjust it properly.
  4. I do my initial load development off my back porch. I have a berm at 100 yards. Once I get something shooting good I shoot on a buddy’s farm. It’s setup for shots out to 1000 yards. (Steel or paper) They just got 22-250 I had spare parts. They have about 200 yards on me but I figure most shots will be well within 300 yard and my semi will be to my advantage if two or more dogs show up.
  5. I got this gun together. It has a 16†chromed barrel a 5.56 chamber. The barrel is worth every bit of $89. I slapped a scope on it just for the hell of it and got a surprise. It shot between .350 and .500 3 shot 100 yard groups. I slapped the suppressor on it and shot three ½ groups in a row. lol, It has a mil spec trigger and a crappy rifleman scope. Sometime the gun Gods throw you a bone. Now I need to find some coyotes.
  6. My apologies. I wasn’t aware of the ongoing war in Oak Ridge. Maybe he should be looking into a SBS.
  7. You may want to look at this. I haven’t watched any in a long time but it should give you an idea of how to do it yourself. At the very least you will get an idea of what is involved. If someone tries to blow smoke up your ass about how hard it is to put one of these together you'll know they're full of it. If you decide to go this route let me know I’ll send you a receiver block and barrel nut wrench. Just send it back when you’re done. I will warn you, when you find out how easy it is you’ll end up with your own tools and three or four more uppers.

  8. For added stability. With shorter barrels you get less velocity and bullet stability suffers. It would not be as bad in an 11.5â€, but the shorter you go the worse it gets. You get greater range and the ability to shoot the heavier bullets. Bullets can and do destabilize at shorter distances. There in no real down side. Bullet stability calculator. I understand that most SBRs are used as short range weapons, but mine are not.
  9. Model 1 Sales: 5.56/.223 Pistol Barrel Google Get a 1 in 7 twist if possible. Too bad you don't live closer, I just put a 10.5 inch 300 Blackout and a 16 inch 5.56 together.
  10. It takes about 5 minutes to put a barrel on the upper you already have. A $230 barrel is much cheaper than an upper.
  11. Yep. It will cost you a $200 tax stamp unless you get one of these http://www.topnotchtactical.com/content-product_info/product_id-2191/serbu_super_shorty_mossberg.html Then it will cost you a $5 tax stamp.
  12. It's not the single shot that gets you, its the couple of hundred it takes to get familiar with a new gun and caliber.
  13. Uselton has some nice $900 1911s for $10,000. Then he would tell you that you could not look at them.
  14. I work in Nashville. If you need help with a load let me know. Subs need to be setup for your gun. What twist are you running? How long is your barrel? Do you have R5 rifling? Temperature also comes in to play. You need to shoot for 1040fps. Factory stuff is in the 950 range. Using a 180 grain bullet is a safe bullet to start with.
  15. Handguns: 22LR 380 357 10mm 45ACP Rifle: 22LR 22Mag 22 Hornet 5.56 25-20 6.5 WSM 300 Whisper 308 7.65x55 Swiss 30-06 7.62x54R 303 8mm Mauser 458 Socom Shotguns: 410 20 12
  16. I use 11.6 gr of Trail Boss and a 225 gr Outlaw State bullet. It runs about 1055 fps out of a 20" Savage.
