jtallen83 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Threaded barrels can have "target crown's" go threaded and use a thread protector if you don't want a muzzle device.d.wilson makes a sweet looking BCG; http://www.dwilsonmfg.com/store/c5/AR10_Parts.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Help me finish That's what she said. BANG! Unless there is a reason not too...I'd keep it threaded. Comps make a huge difference in the feel of these guns. Edited August 25, 2015 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazam Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) What do you guys think of the boron coated bcgs? Edited August 25, 2015 by shazam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Never got one dirty yet. I think I'll stick with coated carries and go with nitride, QPQ or melonite bolts, they don't add any dimension or wear off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazam Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Mmm I ment 20in and because I like the look. I've heard many things about the seekins gas block.

washguy Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I was thinking Lantac dragon all those awesome choices and you want a Lantac dragon? that thing is fuggly.....gas tubes ...brands dont mean much....scope mount...what scope are you thinking of using? get a JP Benny Cooley or a PRI quiet brake so you can run off the guy on either side of you Wash Edited August 27, 2015 by washguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazam Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I think I'm gonna go with a vortex, I've heard great things about them for the price point. And HEY I happen to like the look of the lantac, but the jury is still undecided with the break. I'm from ma so it'll be violated anyways.

shazam Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hey guys does anyone have a side by side of the Bennie Cooley brake standard vs large style? I'm going with a criterion barrel from brownellshttp://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/barrel-parts/rifle-barrels/308-ar-stainless-steel-barrels-prod80215.aspxJust want it to look normal ha-ha,if I go with a 20in barrel I need the .750 compensator correct?

shazam Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Ohhhhh and this is the brakehttp://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPTRE-5.58S.750Although it says the brake is for a bull barrel...should be interchangeable...

mrmackc Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 When you pull the charging handle all the way back and release it on a full magazine does the round chamber and fire okay? do you soak the upper friction points and BCG and bolt rings with lube oil? keep the oil out of the chamber. Mobil 1 motor oil works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazam Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I was thinking that it just needed some breaking in. I lubed the hell out of it, I brought it to the shop that headspaced it. They were going to polish the throat? This is my first and wanted to make sure everything was in order. I chose an Odin Works adjustable gas block, nearly cranked the gas adjustment all the way. I figured it was an excessive amount of gas, amongst the lube I used I thought something else was the issue. Plus the casing had a "snake bite" on the primer lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazam Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Cycles correctly now, vortex optics are awesome. Frigging bi-pod sucks though, its an blackhawk sportster. Does not mate well will my slr handguard, loose as hell. I understand most of you guys are Harris or atlas guys but im only pushing 400-500 yards. The blackhawk is wobbly as hell, the "set-screw" just bottoms out. Should i replace the screw or suck it up and go Harris, atlas is just way to excessive for me me in mass. I think she is quite pretty though huh? haha Edited February 29, 2016 by shazam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Nice looking rifle! I have an Atlas myself, pricy but I've forgot all about that after using it a couple years. I had a bipod like yours, it literally fell apart after several hundred rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'd go Harris if price is your main objective. But both are nice (Harris and Atlas) I've got a couple of both of them, and have never had an issue with them. Watch out when you talk Bipods my man. You can open up a whole can of worms (read as headaches) when you do. A couple of the other brothers around here wore my ass out about bipods (one in particular), when I brought it up one time. Ha!
