  1. The Siete announcement was this morning, available for pre-order. * LaRue Enhanced Siete * * IT’S HAPPENING !!! * You’re probably asking “Mark, why the F did the Siete take so long?” Well, there has been a slew of things. Mainly, the finite number of hirable folks in America that can be considered “craftsmen”. Sure, we’ve always had more than our fair share of American Craftsmen, but just enough to keep up with the ongoing demand for our QD mounts, MBT triggers, uppers, and rifles. The constantly-changing political climate continues to trigger unprecedented rushes on our website, kicking the Siete back off our priority board. Reacting to all this, we’ve systematically polished our act by internally organizing work around an all-enveloping ERP system. Now, we’re there - backorders have been reduced – parts inventory built up, etc. *So … Let’s Do This * There’s no doubt, our Enhanced Siete will be your go-to bolt action. The kit includes a LaRue Enhanced (Switch-Barrel) Siete 6.5 Creedmoor (with a 23” barrel), a LaRue 40ft lb. Torque Wrench and Action Bar for precision barrel switching, 5-Round AICS Magazine and a nice discreet Carry Case. The introductory price of $2,899 includes a free second barrel of your choosing. Below, is a list of the free second caliber and barrel length options 308 Winchester - 20” 260 Remington - 23” 243 Winchester - 23” 22-250 Remington - 26” A deposit of $950.00 will confirm your place in line. You will be billed the remaining $1,949 when your order ships. (Optic, Optic Mount, Bipod, Muzzle Brake and 10-Round Magazine not included.) https://www.larue.com/products/larue-siete/
  2. I barely had the chance to spot, but when I did, that trace was EASY to watch. You knew if they were gonna hit it 1/2 way there - or if they were not gonna hit it. We usually don't have enough humidity to see it that well. Damn great match.
  3. ... dit dit dit... My question exactly. They need to fire the "AR GUY" that they have. The 5.56 guy can keep his job - that's cookie-cutter shiit. That Large-Frame guy? Their barrel GURU?... he needs to find a cheaper apartment. He doesn't know what he's doing, and it's obvious over the years that I've been buying large-frame barrels. First one was 2017 or 2018. That first .260 Rem barrel that had a fucked up gas port diameter. I DEAL WITH the gas tube length problems, and the gas port diameter problems - because the barrels FUCKING SHOOT lights out. Unreal accuracy. If, you're willing to put the work in to make them right, for a large-frame AR, in the first place. I'll still do it - I a;ready know now, how the barrel will come to me. Gas port needs work, gas tube needs verified... That's okay with me, based on the accuracy I have from them. "NO diamond is every really finished" I guess. I'll finish it myself. They can't seem to do that at the factory, so I'll take up their slack, and just DO IT LIVE!...
  4. You assmonkey. I'll stab you in the trigger finger if you ever talk shiit about Robert Plant again...
  5. As you can see -I have a love/hate relationship with them. Their AR barrels are fucking CRAZY ACCURATE... after you FIX THEM, and make them run in an AR gun. Some of the most accurate AR barrels I've ever shot, from WC. I had to work on every single one of them to make them shoot, though. (2x) .260 Rem barrels, a .338 Fed barrel, a .358 Win barrel. At this time of night, I'm probably forgetting another WC barrel that I've blindly put my trust into, and fixed to make run. They FUCKING SHOOT LIGHTS OUT!!! Once you fix them. (Pay attention, WC... contact me privately of this offends you_..) ^^^ Or, just nut up, and let's do it LIVE...
  6. Directly from WC: We manufacture all of our AR models to be the most reliable and accurate rifles and carbines for hunting, competition, long-range, or short-range tactical use. We control the quality of every major component in our ARs to ensure that they will last for many years of service. We continually refine our parts and engineering to give you the best shooting performance. Also, from WC: " Because of the nature of the AR parts business and varying pressures of commercially available ammunition, Wilson Combat cannot guarantee function in customer built AR rifles. We recommend all components be installed by a competent rifle-smith. If you assemble a firearm with Wilson Combat components and it fails to function, you first need to check the fit of the barrel to the gas block and the overall condition of your rifle’s gas system/bolt carrier group to ensure your system isn’t leaking gas. As buffers and springs play a role in overall reliability, the use of an aftermarket style buffer system is not recommended. When using an adjustable gas block, reliability is best achieved at the fully open setting without any gas port restriction. Wilson Combat will not troubleshoot customer built firearms/uppers. If you feel a Wilson Combat component is defective, please return the component only to us using our Return Form. Shipping to Wilson Combat is the responsibility of the consumer." Both my .260 Rem barrels had gas ports that were undersized, and I had to fix that. I learned from the first one, and fixed the second one as soon as I received it. Gas port drilling was fucked up - I had to use Armalite AR-10 gas tubes in ALL my WC barrels, because WC thinks that "in-between" gas port locations are okay for consumers. That's BOTH .260s, the .338 Fed Barrel, AND the .358 Win Barrel. Yes, I have WC barrels - and they DO SHOOT! Once you fix them. Just think - I'll buy my 7mm-08 barrel from them -because I KNOW it will shoot. It will be deadass accurate, like all the others I have from them. I just know I'll have to "fix it first" to make it run right. That gs port diameter will be off, as well as the gas port drilling location, again -and I'll have to use a different gs tube to make it run right.... Thanks, WC. Hat's off to you fellas. Fix your AR gun barrels already. Oh, special, one for you WC... Love your barrels, accurate AF. You need to fix them before they leave your shop, though, so I don't have to. For that, you get an extra Love making your barrels right - once they're fixed, nothing else out there can match them. Nothing.
  7. I can't believe Wilson Combat fucked up a factory rifle - with all the shiit that they talk about "superior firearms... " I have a pile of Wilson Combat barrels, and they truly do "Shoot lights out" - their AR barrels are badss, amongst the very best. They can't figure out the Larger Frame gun, though? For real?! I know they know know what they're doing with the gas port sizes on the .260 Rem barrels -they're OFF on that. By far. Otherwise, badass .260 barrel. Fix that, WC, unfuk your gas port diameter - I already told you it needs to be 0.080" on the 20" rufle gas barrel - same thing for the 6.5C barrel - same cartridge, for all intents and purposes. Instead, they ship that barrel under-gassed, with a 0.070" gas port diayclemeter. THey might learn, one day. Maybe. I FULLY TRUST the accuracy of Wilson Combat AR barrels. I CANNOT TRUST the gas port diameter of ANY Wilson Combat barrels -that are not 5.56 barrels. If you buy a Wilson Combat barrel, it WILL shoot lights out, If it's in a large-frame AR, that might be for one round, if it doesn't cycle, because the gas port diameter is fucked up. Let's discuss this , WC. Talk about Your gas-port guys need to be fired. Just my opinion, after fixing your amazing barrels, and making them truly function.
  8. WC sucks in the recoil system department, and don't know what they're doing. They often compromise this in the gas system department, as well. They need to get ahold of themselves, as a "premium manufacturer" I hope they read this. I'll talk to their "armorer" here, if he wants to join, and have a discussion. My advice - shiit-can the entire recoil system, entirely. Save the oarts for an AR15 build. You need a 5.4oz buffer (not a 3.8oz buffer), and you need a spring that can handle that - and it's not their spring that they sent you, if it was "tuned: for that weakling buffer weight. Get rid of both. Trashcan, unless you save them for an AR15 build, pending specs. Buy this recoil system: Don't look back, don't be scared. Just do it. https://www.armalite.com/SACItem.aspx?Item=AR10REKIT01&ReturnURL=/Armalite/Product-Category/AR10-Parts-Accessories/Lower-Receiver-Parts&Category=ac614400-ff09-4cdf-9d35-419a654e7201 THEN, we need to look at your gas port diameter. If you get that recoil system, and we fix your gas port diameter - your gas tube is good - you'll have a rifle that will eat any ammo, anytime, all the time.
  9. Let's dig into it then - he hasn't been here since his first port. Not a peep. Let's hear from him. That's exactly why I quoted him. He'll see this.
  10. This is the first full-on WC gun that we've had here, to diagnose. I've told them, myself, about the issues with recoil systems, and specifically about the gas port diameters in their .260 Rem barrels... and they don't listen. .260 Rem barrels from WC are LIGHTS OUT barrels. If you work on them. The barrel is a 20" rifle gas barrel, 0.750" journal diameter, and WC just fuks it all up and ships it with a 0.070" gas port diameter. It SHOULD be a 0.080" gas post diameter. Found this out the hard way - money, reloads, ammo, powder, etc. WC fucked it all up on their .260 barrel, but I fixed mine. Fixed the 2nd one I bought from them (badass barrel), before I ever installed it. I knew better, right outta the gate. They make great, super-accurate barrels. They need to FIRE THE GUY that's telling them gas port diameters. He's clueless. We have to fix most of them that come out of WC.
  11. I need recoil system specs, and i gas port diameter in that WC Barrel that you received. Both my WC .260 barrels shipped with undersized gas ports. I fixed that myself. I'm super-curious at the recoil system that they sent you.
  12. Gas tube is good. We;ll look at the other stuff in the recoil and gas systems now.

  15. He posted on 13 Aug, and was last on here 13 Aug. Can't say that I blame him, after this shiit-show from a know it all idiot, though. @rogu 777 - let's get your gun fixed...
  16. What's the length (overall) of the buffer that's in this gun right now?
  17. Give me the measurement-specifics on these 2 things, and I'll give suggestions. I think I know what it is already, but meen the details on the components. Take a pic of your gas tube, in the upper receiver, BCG removed. I'd like to see how far it protrudes into your upper receiver. EDIT - post links to the 2 WC components that you bought, and I'll figure out the specifics on the parts themselves.
  18. It'll work great. If you know the muzzle velocity of the ammo you're using, I can fire up an MOA dope chart for it, and post it here.
  19. That 4~14 PA you picked up is the ARC 2 MOA scope, right? It's the bext MOA scope on the market, IMHO, that doesn't break the bank. It's enough glass to shoot really well, FFP, great reticle. It'll work well on any rifle you want to put it on. I still have a 4~14 ACSS HUD DMR (the .308 Win version) on a few of the 5.56 rifles, and even on the Rem 700 AAC SD rifle. Been thinking about trading that one on the 700 out for the newer 3~18, after I put that 3~18 on the Mk12 Mod 1 gun I use for the matches. You'll like it alot, Al.
  20. It's an absolute blast, man. Over the past 7 or 8 months, we've kind of worked up the same people in the squad, and we all sign up in the same squad when the match registration opens. Great group of people to shoot with/around, and alot of fun (and comments) during the actual match. It's usually around 75 people total, 5 squads of 15. This month, all squads were capped at 14, and there were still a couple spots open, A couple months ago we had 18 in our squad. There's an October championship match open signups now, 12 squads of 12 people, 12 stages over two days. THAT is gonna be a big one!
  21. Fantastic shooting day - literally excellent! Good conditions, the humidity sucked, but projectiles were going where they're sent to. Had to deal with these guys twice during the match - two safety shutdowns, to chase these free-ranging bastards away, before they got turned into "delicious..." Click it several times - it gets bigger. Rounds-remaining was very good, as well. I pretty much hit what I was supposed to, per stage. Stg 4: 13 remaining, 7 sent downrange Stg 5: 10 remaining Stg 1: 9 remaining Stg 2: 6 remaining Stg 3: 9 remaining Overall - excellent shooting day.
  22. We got after it today, men!!! 39 total targets over 5 stages. @JBMatt cleaned the course again, and he has found some speed! Fastest shooter of the day was in our squad, we shoot with him every month. He ripped a 30.08 second time for this timed stage, and Matt crush aa 40.02 second run. I fould a little speed, too, and pulled a 47.21 on that stage for time. Matt cleaned every stage, perfect 39/39 score, and was 2nd place overall, out of 68 people total. I dropped the last target on the last stage, ran out of time. Pulled a 38/39, 14th place overall. Matt pointed out that if I cleaned that last stage, didn't drop that last target, I would have been 6th overall, based on my time on the timed stage. Oh well, next month for me, I guess... https://practiscore.com/results/html/866eb7cf-5b4a-4756-a597-2447160691d0?page=matchCombined
  23. He's about to blow an assgasket... I just feel it...
  24. I think we're booked here all week, brother - but every night might be a different show. Buy your tickets daily, because I wouldn't want anyone to miss any of this shiit... Just remember to tip your server...
  25. Why do you spell like shiit, late at night then? Or, do you just spell like shiit ALL THE TIME?. You were a COP?!!? How the fuk did you write reports?!!?
