Re: suppressor compatible handguards?

What exactly do you mean "compatible"? There are a gazillion of them that are 'compatible'. If the hand guard isn't too long for the barrel then it's 'compatible'. The best fitting ones I've ever seen are from SLR. They make hand guards at very otherwise odd lengths to ensure a close fitme...

Re: Optic for first AR 15

You need to define your parameters of what you are doing. At first glance it's easy to say a 1-4 or 1-6 power but it depends on what kind of shooting you will do. For general purpose I would start my look at those focal lengths. Also what focal plane do you prefer? Of you aren't sure watch some vide...

Re: Light Subs--Powder Recommendations

Another specific point I am interested in is (in the context of those powders) what kind of case fill I am looking at... (and of course) as I already mentioned function of a semi auto.

Light Subs--Powder Recommendations

I am looking at data to make light subs... primarily because the bullets are... well cheaper. This will also be an opportunity get bulk boxes of ammo and make plinking ammo. 150 grain bullets, 168 (ish) grain bullets, and 175-180 grain bullets are easy and cheap to come by... It looks to me like Rel...

Re: Getting Started with 7" Barrel Suppressed AR15 Pistol

Holy crap, I never even thought seating depth played a role in tuning. It's probably one of the more important parts actually regardless of caliber. The seating depth is one of the big three. Case weight (or just plain old quality of cases) Charge weight (of whatever powder) Seating depth If you ca...

Re: Suppressor question

That's interesting. So many questions. Were those A weighted measurements? I can't see the muzzle devices on those 3 rifles, but I assume they are all the same. Lastly, this should really be done more than once, in opposite barrel length order..... The 10.5" barrel unsuppressed muzzle reading ...
