I've had really good experiences with these guys (the company, not this upper specifically). I have 3 of their uppers in different lengths and calibers and haven't had any problems. Once I received a bent charging handle, but a phone call and they sent me a new one the next day. Didn't even ask for pictures. I'd consider this extremely budget friendly as opposed to a high dollar precision build. Worth every penny. If you look at their site, they have "quick ship" items that are on the shelf and usually ship in a couple days. Other stuff has to built and test fired so it takes a bit longer but still worth the wait.

 

Shit I was about to say Ozark Ordnance I thought had prices like that but I just looked it up and I guess they either got backlogged too long or were just a shitty company and folded, they had great prices on some bulk FMJ 125, 135 gr. 300AAC. I think they made subs too

 

Yeah this isnt going to be anything besides a fun gun that i shoot every once in a while.

Thanks man i'll check them out

 

Anyone have tips for ensuring the gas block is centered over the gas port in the barrel? I can't think of any good way to do it other than just eyeballing it. I know how far the gas block needs to be from the shoulder and I have the correct feeler gauge but I'm not sure how best to align things around the barrel.

 

Does your barrel have dimples at the bottom for your gas block studs to screw into?

 

Barrel has no dimples and I didn't want to deal with dimpling it myself so I got a clamp on gas block.

 

Get a sharpie and something straight. Place along barrel and put a dot forward and aft of the gas hole port where the gas block wont block it (using the straight edge to keep things in line). On the gas block put a dot on the front and back inline with the hole in the gas block. Slide gas block on and line up your dots and the gas port and gas block should line up just fine.

 

Eh I use my 300 for suppressed not too interested in supers. I get why you would but mine is basically a toy lol.

 

Mmm, ACOG.

 

I need to send my stamps in. I've got 4 ready to go. Once I build a house and can set things up permanently I'd like to get an automated press.

 

Can anyone tell me the maker of this barrel? I see no other codes on the barrel. It's a 20 inch btw.

 

Could be local machine shop. How did you acquire it?

 

Got it at the gun show over the weekend, I guess I could get in contact with the seller. It's a shop out of Ohio. 1-9 isn't a typical twist rate for the military is it?

 

For the military i do not believe it is. For the civilian market though it is pretty common. Its a fine twist rate for the 55-62gr bullets (and others) though and since thats what probably 90% of 223 shooter use...

 

This is my trusty old 20" Larue Stealth. It's like a semi-exotic older woman who still looks hot, doesnt have fake boobs and still performs wheen she feels the need.


And this is her daughter...

 

Primary arms is selling anderson lowers for $29.99, 4th of July sale. Seem decent, any feedback ?

 

No but it is for .223 wylde. Military uses 1:7

 

All mine are Anderson. I bought like 10 last year.

 

Nice, I need a cheap FFL transfer guy my usual shop is $35 per serial number.......

 

Yep. Makes sense.
