When tightening the mil-spec barrel nut, if it does spoke does not clear for pathway for the gas tube, do I loose the nut, file off the spoke that is the way or use barrel shims??? What would be the correct method??? thanks

in stock now!

just checked right now, SSource still "out of stock".

still "out of stock" as of this morning

do you mean shooters source? and not shooters choice? thanks

can not the trimmer be set as not resize the case? I ve read here on the forum that it can be.

thanks, I think I will stear clear of polishing.

what would be the best way to polish the AR chamber??? thanks

Has anyone use either of these rods for AR builds? I one better than the other? Geissele's is 100.00 dollars compared to the Brownells at only 40 bucks. I can see where the flats sides of the Geissele would fit a vise better. Well, thanks for any inputs.

I have also noticed two of the mil spec rifle springs are not the same length. I changed both rifles to the JP springs. JP spring both the same and consistant. period no guess to what it is.

thats a good idea of running compressed air. how do you use the feeler gauge? between the back of the gas block and the step or shoulder on the barrel? also mpeltier did have some good tips on the other post about "gas block and pin leaking" thanks

am curious also, as to why 45? nothing wrong with it, I like too! just curious... thanks

thanks MPeltier. some good pointers with chamfering bbl and gasblock and credit card thickness. I did get the rifle to work! I went back to the standard carbine gas tube. In the photos that is a "fat tube". Before assembling the topend I would blow into the gas tube and take notice of where the air stops and begins into the bbl gas hole. Having that credit card thickness is about the right spot for gas flow. I dont think I had that space before, it was up against the step. When I removed the gas block prior this replacing the gas tube, you can see the discoloration from under the gblock from the gas escaping. Now there is no gas escaping at all. The gun is a 16" carbine length gas with a rifle stock/buffer and JP buffer spring. Full weight BCG. Shooting extreme 55grs, 26.0 grs H335. From my last chrono test is was near the 3000 fps. A fellow shooter shot up my chrono for now. Had I know about the chamfering bbl and block, I would had done that, Seems to make sense. thanks to all, am learning )

question, why do some 40/10 cal. slides have a curved area opposite of the ejection port, at the rear hood location? I have seen many slides without this curved area, where it is just straight and some older Colt Delta guns 10mm, have this curved section. What type of barrel would you use for a replacement? Or is the replacement barrel fitted to fit this curved area? thanks

Has anyone had any experience with the this? A17" forearm? Its not listed on their website but shootersource has them listed? Was wondering to mount one a 20" barrel thatnks

when I blow into the gas tube I can see bubbles from the Loctite come out from the gas tube and C pin. I was experiencing short storking. Came home and took apart the barrel assembly. Why would it leak from this area? Not from the gas block making contact with the barrel only from the gas tube and pin. Would buying a better gas block help or is there a technique to this that I don't know about???? thanks

I ve narrowed down to the two listed for a 20" build. any thoughts from the more experienced shooters on which I should get??? thanks

Why would the bolt not pick up the next round from the magazine????? When I load only one round, the bolt will pick that up but loading two or more the bolt will only get the first one and none others????? I did follow someone tip on screwing in the mag latch a few turn more. I guess that was suppose to raise the magazine but I didn't notice that. And the magazine after the last round will not hold back the bolt. That's really doesn't matter me as much as not picking up more rounds!!!!! thanks BTW these are reloaded rounds that am making.))))

what is the PF for 3 gun? 150?? So I need somewhere over 2800 FPS with 55gr bullets.

when making 223 loads what would I stride for? Power factor/velocity or what shoots best in my rifle?? my setup is a 16" barrel/fat tube. Xtreme 55grs. starting with 24.5 H335/2.220 OAL. Am going out tomorrow to try this and sight in/chrono. taking my RCBS loading stuff/scale/powder drop to load at the range as I check velocity. any tips. please thanks

what is that on the front of the hand guard???? thanks

What is a small base die? I have been reading up on the forum before I start reloading. I do a Redding FL sizing die and seating die but how can I tell if the FL die is a small base die? Would it be marked on the die? thanks

no what method you use, speaking for me, I or you need to focus on the FS. Its so easy to look through the sights to follow the swinger and end up with mikes. JMI

waterboy, thanks.... which one do you like better, 40 or 45?

waterboy what caliber is the Colt? JakeM what caliber is yours??? thanks
