Metro arms They just made a nice long slide for Segal. He's probably gonna endorse them. Spent a lot of time with them at SHOT Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

John, John, John... I'm not going to tell you that while training the Queen's 3rd Regiment of the Light Brigade I saw them puking pea soup.. But here it is why I think there are better options and are over priced. Wonky grip safety that Colt had a patent on til the late 40's and never used. MIM parts, for the high price they get they should be forged. Parts fit I've seen lately ...Not good. Same money better quality...STI Less money...Springfield Me personally.. I like the Filipino 1911s coming in to the country some not all are very good.

For what is worth... A NICS is not required for every firearms purchase. If a state has a vetting process that qualifies with the FBI the state can use it's own vetting. For example: If I have a SC CWP (and I think NC does this too) no NICS just fill out, just file a 4473. So if NJ qualified their vetting process for their FID with the FBI they could eliminate their $16 NICS

Yo Mipafox - I buying two cans, 22lr and rifle multi-cal Catch me offline and tell me what you like.

Bought the house in Oak Ridge at the height of the market. gonna take a hit...Oh well! Yep but I only have a 100yd range.

I have a couple of HavAHart traps you can borrow. In reality Paul's option may be a better answer. Less the can of course.

Paul - It's Gamecocks or Clemson

As many of you know I'm a resident of the Low Country in the first state to fire a shot in the Civil War As a training aid I ordered a CAI C39v2 AK...The SC FFL was so apologetic when he had to do a background check. When my CWP comes through in SC no more background checks... Sweet. Bad...Gotta sell the house up here in this garbage dump of a state. Will take a beating of 100k but made about 40k already on the house in SC..go figure! So I drive up here 13 hours so I don't leave my wife to handle this white s4it! Well it snowed in SC today but will be gone by noon. Just a rant. If I survive this winter up here I have it made. I'll take the mosquitos, lizards, and gators and you can have the snow.

Been doing it for years. Just make sure you have ample sear engagement. WILL NOT LIGHTEN THE TRIGGER. That must be done with springs.

Mrs Peel - Sandy's gracious invitation you should take her up on... It's a great "Ice Breaker". But never loose sight of the fact the the shooting sports are gender blind. You can be as proficient as anyone else provided you want to regardless of gender. Welcome!

NJSP either don't talk to each other or can't read. You filled out a mental health background form allowing them to investigate your mental health background. Don't they trust their own investigation?

I have a motor you could buy cheap 1/2 hp... I'll get the data if you want it for cheap or a box of 10mm pistol ammo give me a PM. Correction 1/3 hp 1725 rpm or 1/9 hp at 1100 rpm 120V amps 6.2/3.0 GE model # 5kh3xla0943x exa

OK Lapua brass? Neck walls measured .015" ? You'll have those cases forever.

OK so that gives you .001" neck tension. To me that's pretty light. I run .002 in my bolt gun and (I forget'cause I'm old) .002-.004 in my 6mm AR. Wait until you start playing with COL....LOL

It is a little treasure chest @ $.90-$1.00 a piece. How did you calculate your bushing diameter?

OK They are out of a benchrest heritage but make AR barrels. They should pay me for explaining this stuff. You go to 22CF=Center fire Pick your rate of twist Pick your chamber designation Pick your contour Pick your gas port length Pick your muzzle designation (crowned or threaded) Pick and of course length. The reason you don't see loads of reviews is this is not a tacticool/mall ninja company.

Look I don't have NO DOG IN THIS HUNT! Did you check out x-caliber barrels? These are the employees that left McGowen. This is bench rest quality stuff at decent prices. And as far as lapping the upper... Spot it with bluing or grease If you have 80% contact or better and the barrel extension isn't sloppy in the receiver.. Lock it up. I think Vlad said he's seen Billet uppers out of spec, I don't doubt it but I haven't seen it. I buy billets because I feel they are more likely in spec. I have one more build in me and it's going to be a defense gun. If you saw where I live you'd know why...LOL

You not doing more work if anything you're doing less work You always have to check your case length and trim if necessary So you're not spinning your wheels Just keep shooting and get as good as your rifles potential Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have no idea why you re having the success you are. But don't mess with what works. Even my 6mm AR which I consider a precision rifle, I FL size but use a bushing die so I can regulate the neck diameter. My precision 223 AR I just FL size with a Dillon carbide and it shoots a ragged hole at 100 with magazine length ammo. So what works for you works. But, if you start having problems you know where to start looking.

I believe for all practical purposes you are correct about the case . Though I remember seeing someone state there are negligible differences, maybe internally But really you're correct. Here's an excellent article...http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2013/3/4/223-remington-vs-556-whats-in-a-name/

Check out x-caliber barrels. Hand lapped, send your bolt and they'll chamber and headspace...$235 And pick your contour. http://www.x-caliber.net/

You are losing me. Again my experience and opinions. You ALWAYS FL size when reloading for an AR. The dies you use are .223 Rem. (i've never seen 5.56Nato dies, but maybe they're out there) So In a semi auto you will never have fire formed cases. Just to close for reliable feeding. Unless of course if you single load it will work.

As related to chambers and twist and this is my personal experience. 223 Rem chambers are more accurate than 5.56 NATO And, I shoot 69gr SMK out of a 223 Rem 1:9 twist with very good accuracy.

Shane please explain... I'm following this thread, love it, but, have no idea what you're saying.

Nick you are so confrontational. You know you're not supposed to call out a bullshitter. This is the internet.
