Yes, 24" 1:9 twist barrel, Hornady brass, Fed 205 primers, 123 gr Sierra HPBT.
I don't currently run GRT or QL. Instead I stick to published loads from a bullet or powder company and work up. I recommend never using max loads from random strangers on the internet. For 6.5G, when I "work up" I'm...
The potential consequences of getting caught breaking this law - which include a lifetime, 50 state ban on owning modern firearms - is enough to deter many of us from doing so. The juice ain't worth the squeeze.
I don't mind the weight of a 16" HBAR in 5.56/.223 and appreciate being able to...
I kinda like the idea of a .45 ACP AR pistol like the radial delayed blowback CMMG Banshee for subsonic suppressed use.
G21 is a great companion for that since they use the same mags.
I've never heard of a requirement to have a dedicated lower that won't accept a .223 round. As far as I know, only the fact that you've attached a non-HBAR 5.56/.223 rifle upper makes the entire rifle banned.
Not all .30 cal barrels are HBAR. Faxon makes Gunner profile barrels for .300 BO...
No idea about dealing with BCA. I would have thought the bill of sale or whatever paperwork you originally got from Blue Fins would suffice.
But it seems like it might be quicker and easier (and possibly not any more expensive when you factor in shipping) to just fix it yourself.
I use mine from my cell phone.
Besides finding excessive copper fouling, I've also found a carbon ring on one of my rifles, and some weird shiny black hard-to-remove fouling that I think came from some black colored powder coated bullets that I bought, in a sbr barrel.
The borescope is also...
Or you might end up with a weapon that has a body on it from sometime between when you claimed to have acquired it and when you actually did. Not very likely but not impossible. . .
This.
If you want a tricked out 10/22 you'll probably end up replacing everything except the receiver and possibly the bolt anyway. So just buy those, and, if you don't want to keep the Deluxe, sell it on to fund part of the build.
Never too early to start thinning the herd. . . .
But, yah, I don't feel like listening to more crying mothers whining about how their young hoodlum was "turning his life around" if it can be helped. Sometimes it can't.
I'm all for any teacher that wants to being able to have a gun at school...
Would probably like the teacher to verify who's coming through the door before shooting.
Also, maybe part of the training should focus on how a 5'2" 135 lb teacher keeps an enraged 6'6" 270 lb thug student from taking her gun away from her without shooting him (if possible.) Not that I would...
Federal law. ATF Form 4473 question 21(d) specifies conviction for a Felony or "any other crime" (e.g. a misdemeanor) for which you could have been sentenced to more than 1 year in prison.
So this depends on the max sentence for the state in which one was convicted.
I haven't had an issue with set screw gas blocks with a dimpled barrel. I have a "dimpling" jig for this (and a very hard drill bit) for barrels that aren't pre-dimpled. I usually only dimple one hole directly under the gas port. A drop of rocksett for each set screw and gtg. I try to use new...
I "retire" my 9mm brass after 2 firings by reloading it a third time and putting it in my "stockpile."
As others have said, lots of 9mm brass out there. In fact, right now I only reload Winchester brass. I trust other brass, e.g. Federal Blazer, but it seems to get beat up more, so I've just...
