Assembled many AR15 rifles, first one in 9mm.
Bought Aero Precision upper, lower, bolt, tube spring and buffer, all for their epc parts.
Test functioning it with 9mm snap caps I noticed that unlike manipulating the slide on a semi auto, the shell eject...with the AR they do not fly out like a...
Some bit ago, I posted about a build of mine (.458 SOCOM) that I noticed the bolt didnt measure as it should, obviously not the proper Bolt. Fast forward until this morning, I was looking at that bolt, and saw a tiny inscription on it "7.62 x 39."
In as much as I certainly know the likelihood...
Setting up press to load my first .308 Winchester and ran into an odd problem (for me anyway). Die instructions are to raise ram, screw in die until sleeve is compressed up into die and makes contact with shell holder. Then unscrew micrometer until 2 or 3 shows, with 3 being top of the range of...
Having finished my .458 SOCOM AR, I decided to buy a little factory ammo to try it with once it warms up a little. I have not yet purchased the ammo, or dies, brass and bullets to load any.
Looking over the gun and my various receipts, I see where I ordered a bolt head which receipt shows the 3...
Looking at scope specs, I see many that list whether or not they have zero stop. I thought I knew what this was, but I just looked a specs on a scope that did not have zero stop, but went on to list that turrets were "resettable to zero." Can someone explain this difference?
Another feature...
Was just over on rifle forum, where I queried about variances in fire formed brass with new Winchester Brass in Savage 12 FV in .223 Remington.
After being assured this is no big deal, (variance of 1.4540 to 1.4600) i being only .002 difference,
I have a reloading question. I know once upon a...
Wasnt sure if Reloading thread might be more appropriate, but decided here as it is a question more centered on Bolt action rifles, their chambers and how they affect the brass specific to them.
Rifle in question is Savage 12 FV in .223 Remington. I kept the bras fired in this gun separate from...
Okay, looking at my 12 FV with Accutrigger, it has varmint barrel and if I recall correctly can be lowered to 2.0 - 2.5 lbs. I see the 10T-SR, with a target version of Accutrigger can be lowered to 1.5 lbs. Further online reading ( for what that is worth ) seems to hold that my gun and the...
I have a couple of 12 FV rifles with Accu trigger. I keep reading thing like, "With a couple of tweaks, spring changes this is a first rate factory trigger." I have seen recommendations of various spring changes, etc.
What is the low down? Both of my 12FVs are recent buys, during the last 100...
Most all AR15 barrels I have used (mostly from Ballistic Advantage) on the threaded end are basically flat around the bore. One Ballistic Advantage Barrel I have is an 18 inch "SPR" barrel, it differs slightly from the other 16 inch M4 type profile barrels I have, the Extension is Nickel Boron...
Some threads ago, I was asking how various lengths of bullets didnt fit the 12FV chamber.
While the SMK at 69 grains worked fine at Sierras suggested 2.260, the SMK in 52 and 53 grains did not fit at the suggested 2.250.
When chambered, the smaller bullets different ogive shape, when...
Thinking about Howa barreled action for my next gun, short action.
Wondering about what and whys are in selecting one over the other? In another thread I read where someone suggested the mini for its smoothness at its price point and really got to wondering. .223 Remington and 6.5 Creedmoor...
I decided to try a Savage tactical bolt handle:

There are shinier, fancier more expensive ones out there, but for 40 bucks I thought this warranted a try. This is the Cabela mania Savage 12FV rifle, by the way...
What are the hard and fast considerations here? I have previously only scoped AR15 rifles which require higher mounts. Now my first bolt gun. A Savage 12FV in .223 Remington. I mounted the scope rail, and ordered a somewhat expensive set of rings, Burris signature XTR. I heard on guy writing...
I have put the scope base and rings on this gun and loaded up a few primerless, powderless rounds from the brass and bullets I am starting with. It is comprised of a Sierra 53 grain HP bullet, and LC brass I have sized body and neck with Redding Competition micrometer bushing neck, and their...
Perhaps this should be "length of your bullet" but here goes. ( i have also posted a similar, but more geared to handloading in the handloading forum.) In the handloading forum, I am inquiring as to preferred COL measurements and anomalies with my hand loads , here the question is more specific...
