The QC on the cheap ammo sucks a**. Good luck on getting anything more then fair/poor accuracy. Handload, use 25.0gr to 26.0gr of AA-1680, the 123gr Hornady or the 125gr Sierra, zero your 20" AK at 30-31 yards and this will get your +/- 2" to 200 yards.

Posted for those that want more information: CProducts LLC will be producing Mini 14 mags Also they are looking into making Hi-Cap Mini 30 magazines. You can talk to Larry at SHOT this weekend.

I think it means this: NATIONAL ORDER OF "THE WHITE FEATHER"

A1 and A2 use the same tube. If you use an A2 stock, you need to buy a spacer and an A2 screw to accomodate the extra 5/8". Bushmaster sells both, as a set, for $6.50. You can find them cheaper elsewhere, but this should get you started in your search.

The A2 stock might be a bit too long for some scenarios. You might be better served getting a new A1 stock from Cavalry Arms.

The RRA 2 Stage Trigger is the most redily found trigger upgrade out there. For a mass produced trigger it is very good and, if you are not a do it yourselfer, IMO, it is money well spent. That said, it is mass produced and some are outstanding, most of them are good, and a few are not. RRA has a very good exchange/repair poilcy on them, if they do go down. Their are two things that can go wrong with the RRA 2 Stage Trigger. 1) The amount of engagement between the disconnector and the disconnector stop. * Too much engagement means that the trigger is creepy. * Too

They are made out of Heat treated Beryllium Copper. As to their durability, I cannot say, but there is a review here that might be of interest to you: KNS Duplex Front Sight Review

I think that CProducts is not forming their feed lips correctly for either of the 6.X calibers and are not heat treating them correctly. There are threads in the ARFcom Archive about how to tweak the magazine lips of the 6.X magazines from CProducts. Now there have been issues with the PRI's as well, but these are fewer and PRI has been much better responding to their customers needs. Since the Grendel is seen as a 'Sporting' cartridge, i.e. not Military, there has not really been the...how can I say this, the 'push' to fix the issues stemming from the magazines. Not to worry thou

Errr, how can I say this....my Grendel is a Contender. I do not have any issues with magazines. But I refer you to this: http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showthread....hlight=products Pull quote from Dr. Gary Roberts on ARFcom. "...We use the 30 rd Barrett 6.8 mm mags, as well as PRI 6.8 mm mags (NOTE: when we want to practice malfunction drills, we reach for our CP mags as they suck)."

Your post made me go back and plug the numbers. I am using the 2,100 fps fragmentation limitation with both Sierra MK and the Hornady BTHP bullets (only in Factory Loaded Ammo) 12" Barrelled 6.8 = MV of 2,370 +/- 30 fps = 100 meter Frgamentation Range (SSA 115 Sierra MK) 3.0" Low @ 200m / 1.3" Drift w/ 10 mph wind @ 200m 12" Barrelled 6.5 = MV of 2,220 +/- 25 fps = 70 meter Fragmentation Range (BH 123 Sierra MK) 3.3" Low @ 200m / 0.9" Drift w/ 10 mph wind @ 200m 14.5" Barrelled 6.8 = MV of 2,460 +/- 30 fps = 127 meter Frgamentation Range (SSA 115 Sierra MK) 2.3" Low @ 200m / 1.0"

Now THAT would be a great VCQB carbine with a 12" barrel in 6.8. Sorry, in barrels that short, the 6.8 is a better round than the 6.5. 10" to 12.5" Barrels - Advantage 6.8 14" to 14.5" Barrels - Six of one, Half dozen of the other. 14.5" to 16" Barrels - Slight Advantage, 6.5 Barrels 18" and over - Advantage 6.5

The Swiss made SIG 551 and 552 Commando have had the pi** beaten out of them in AFG by many European PMG's. Verdict?? Not bad, but they get worn out quickly. Don't think the US made version would be any better. The RobArms XCR intrigues me. Can't swing the cash for this right now, though.

The G36 is only so-so and the XM-8 is a joke. To me, if we are going to replace something is should be measurably qualitatively better, not just because today is Friday, so lets change. The FA is not useless, but if you have to hit it more then 3 or 4 times, you are in world of sh*t, and the FA is NOT going to save you from the Zombies. I have only had the type of malfunction you describe with the M-200 Blank ammo, because the BFA came undone at the muzzle. To remove this case, you would have to pound the buttstock on the ground while pulling down on the charging handle to lock the b

It is not the tolerances, but the clearances that you speak of. As long as the debris is kept flowing, it's fine. This is one of the reasons why we developed a new lubrication protocol after Operation Desert Shield/Storm. The main issue the has plauged the M-16 series of rifles have been its poorly executed 30 round magazine design. Because the original mag well was straight, when they could not design a continuious curve magazine, they just said eff-it and did the best they could with what they had. Aside from proper lubrication, IMO the M-16/M-4 will benefit from: * Ensuring that

The M-16A2/A4 and M-4 are field reliable and easy to maintain. There are issues with them, as any system is likely to have, but to state this is not being accurate. Gas Piston? Please.... Maybe if you are going to have a VCQB carbine, a la Mk18, I can see the gas piston's usefulness. Also if you use a suppressor, a piston will make a shorter (12" to 14.5") carbine more user friendly when clean up is done, but if you are talking about a 18" barrel assault rifle w/o sound suppressor, it would not make that much of a difference. You are missing the point, you could spend BILLIONS o
