  1. Yes. Aero Precision bought Ballistic Advantage, so the AP branded barrels are Ballistic Advantage barrels. You can calculate your specific load data via this program: http://www.jbmballistics.com/ballistics/calculators/calculators.shtml
  2. Make sure you click the YT link on the first one, and read the comments... There were some VERY SERIOUS PEOPLE about this one...
  3. You guys remember this one... The Vortex/Hornady bullet cam. It was announced around 1 APRIL this year... It seems that this technology is WAY too advanced, and it's been classified and shelved, for the time being... ...and, we wait...
  4. For the most part, stainless barrels have shown a greater potential for better accuracy over steel barrels, but that's old school mentality. It doesn't take into account new manufacturing methods, for either barrel material. There are steel barrels out there that are highly accurate, and even mass produced. As long as you get a barrel from a reputable barrel manufacturer, it will shoot very well, no matter what it's made of. The definition of "reputable barrel manufacturer" will typically not included budget barrels that you find on sale for $99, either. I'm talking about companies that only make barrels, and few other items... 16" will get it done. That's plenty of barrel. Depending on the weight of the projectile in the loaded ammo, you'll have enough power to make clean kill shots at 500. Example on loads, 178gr Hornady BTHP projectiles loaded to 2400fps. That's 1100 foot pounds of energy at 500 yards. Lot's of variables in your questions,though they might seem like basic questions. Tons of answers available.
  5. Is this a "guess" contest? What's the prize here? You do realize you posted this in the "Contest" Section, I hope. You won't get many answers here. It would be better if you just recreated the whole topic in another section. Toss the same question in this section, and you'll get more bites... https://forum.308ar.com/forum/48-308ar-parts/
  6. It's still an Armalite AR-10. That stamping of "SPR Mod2A" is only there to confuse California politicians, and make the rifle legal for sale in that state. It doesn't mean that it's a Cali-compliant rifle - just that it was made to meet the criteria for sale into that state. For all intents and purposes, it might not even be a full factory rifle at all - previous owner might have changed all that stuff on it, then sold it on GB. You might be chasing your tail trying to make it "fit" a factory offering, as it might not even be one...
  7. There was also a trigger recall on some of these rifles, but your rifle is not affected by the recall, provided the serial number is correct. So, if you hear about that, don't worry about it.
  8. Some info in this thread here: Where did you buy it?...
  9. Life. No probation, no parole, no reduction/suspension in sentence. LIFE. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/05/12/sons-guns-star-will-hayden-gets-life-for-rape.html
  10. I'm calling this one finished. Got the scope in for it, mounted and leveled. Primary Arms 4-14x44 mil/mil first focal plane. I'll leave it in the SWFA Bobro mount. It's done now. Next is to re-zero it with this scope, then dope it all out, put a sticky on the stock, and get some coyotes.

    I think this .458 is gonna hurt that bowling ball...
  12. "only valid while our supplies last or until midnight Monday, May 15th. " Primary Arms has a sale on Federal M80 Ball ammo, 147gr in Lake City brass. New manufacture, not old surplus stuff. $12.99/box of 20. Sale has an expiration of Monday, May 15th at midnight... http://www.primaryarms.com/federal-ammunition-7-62x51-149gr-fmj-m80-20-round-box-xm80cl_2?trk_msg=3GH5UT4EJGEKB2CCG04CM3N0MS&trk_contact=8V0L65B89JG3CKL2PPP2IG35AC&trk_sid=G9RJ16EBK66IQEECTE4Q7JA0LG&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=SLOT_18&utm_campaign=17_05_Ad09_Mothers_Day_Sale
  13. ^^^ That thing shoots SOOOOOOOOOO nice!!!
  14. Right on, man.
  15. Please make sure that happens - the potential for big trouble is huge...
  16. That won't help the heavy trigger in these things... I'm just sayin'... Light... Streamlight TLR4, brother...
  17. That works. I cut the case down so it's all the same diameter (cut the neck off, lose about an inch). Bored a piece of 2x4 for the bolt tail to sit into. Slowly screw it together in the vice jaws to hold it. Done. You'll have to hold the bolt from underneath while tapping the roll pin in, or you'll knock it out of the vice jaws. Easy-peasy...
  18. Shotgun stages in the Fall Shoot...
  19. I just checked this page for the extended mag release - only comes in stainless or black. But you could have it powdercoated... http://shop.powderriverprecision.net/category.sc?categoryId=41 Oh, their trigger spring kit with the improved sear is simply badass. I love mine...
  20. Probably...
  21. ^^^ Exactly so. Semi-auto pistols, semi-auto rifles, semi-auto shotguns... all of them...
  22. That's a Powder River Precision grip safety - just like mine, but red. Oh, and mine's well used... They also do a great extended mag release.
