  1. I am starting to purchase parts for an upper build and plan on running a low mass BCG and a mid-length gas system. I have a couple of questions as I have never run an Low Mass BCG previously.

    1. Is it required to run an adjustable gas block or is it just a nice to have.

    2. I would like to run a slim handguard. (15" Vltor Freedom Rail) with a ID or 1.38".  What Adjustable Gas Blocks would fit inside a rail of that dimension?

    Thanks in advance.

  2. Just picked up my 2011 in 9mm built by Accuracy X and noticed that none of my 1911 holsters fit due to the full length dust cover, Dooh.

    Any recommendations? Will be mainly shooting 3 Gun so retention is a must.

    This is my first 2011, so any other recommendations are also welcomed. I have noticed that I am going to have a tough time reaching the slide release without changing my grip.

    Thanks in advance.

  3. The only issue at that range would be the speed. You need to check your ballistic calculator and make sure the velocity is still supersonic (about 1,300 fps). I would also be concerned with the FMJ as the back of the bullet has lead exposed and may cause issues with accuracy, but if the load groups 1 MOA at 100-200 yards, you may be okay. If not, try a match grade bullet as long as it is not a 168 gn SMK. They do not perform well past 600.

    As far as the lower SD, 10 is not bad especially in a factory rifle. Anything in the single digits is good for MOA at distance. You can sort the brass of you like. If you are using Lapua brass, you really do not need to uniform the primer pockets or flash holes, unless you feel better about doing it.

    You are going to get your biggest gains by changing primers (experiment with this. Wolf is good, and basically any match primer. I use CCI BR2)

    Also using the same lot of Varget.

    And neck tension is critical.

    Good luck.

  4. The best way to check this is to measure a fired case from each rifle. I will bet you that the AR chamber is longer (from base of case to shoulder).

    You should also check our seating depth of your bullet. Makes a big difference in accuracy.

  5. Just because of your username, I would go with the 6.5-284 out of the 3. But would consider the 338 Lapua if you really want to go Big Guns.

    Seriously, really curious on how you came upon those 3.

    Out of the 3, I would choose the 6.5 Creedmoor as you can use it for more than the other 2. Also 6.5-284 eats barrels, and the 6.5x47 is a little light for Long Range.

  6. Steve at Accuracy X said that it was going in the bluing tanks last Thursday. He has sent me photos of it assembled in the white and disassembled in the bluing basket. So I would say within a week or so.

  7. I know this has probably been beat to death, but have not paid much attention until now.

    I am taking delivery on my first 2011 and I need some advice on which magazine tubes, basepads, followers, springs and magwell to purchase.

    This is for a 9mm. Thanks in advance for the help.

  8. I decided to go with the 260 after considering all the suggestions. Thanks to all. I made the decision base on having about 2,000 pcs of 260 brass that was given to me and having the dies from me shooting NRA Highpower.

    Going to try the 130 Bergers to start.

    The rifle is waiting on me to get to the gunsmiths shop to pick it up....and write the check of course.
