Wait

2020-11-24 05:40:58 UTC  

6.5 creedmore AR can only exist as an AR10 because it needs the bigger magwel than the AR15 can fit

Absolutely has to be an AR10 or something larger (If we're talking AR's exclusively). I think Nemo makes a .338LM and a few others in their extended action, but that's something entirely different. I've heard the 6.5 Grendel was a good intermediate range cartridge for the AR15; but that was before the .224 Valkyrie. I haven't shot either but the velocities are good an the BC's are relatively high for the heavier bullets. I do like my 6.5CM.

Depends on what you want to do. I personally love to ding the steel plates as far out as I possibly can. The range I usually shoot at had a target at ~900 yards. Where I'm at, its hard to find a place to stretch it out farther with a good line of sight, a good backdrop, and no random ATV traffic.

So you guys ever changed sights on a APX pistol?

nice

2020-11-24 06:32:27 UTC  

of course added the 922r parts...

2020-11-24 06:32:43 UTC  

that AK above is a SAM7K pistol SBR'ed

2020-11-24 06:33:07 UTC  

Nice. How is the backpressure on that?

2020-11-24 06:33:24 UTC  

pretty awful so I have an adjustable gas piston on it

2020-11-24 06:34:54 UTC  

KNS?

2020-11-24 06:35:45 UTC  

yes

2020-11-24 06:35:56 UTC  

I have a Rugged Surge 7.62 and pretty much every semi-auto I have sucks to shoot with it except my 300BLK with subs.

2020-11-24 06:36:02 UTC  

works like a charm. though with it cranked all the way up, subsonic ammo still won't cycle it

2020-11-24 06:36:11 UTC  

bummer

2020-11-24 06:36:19 UTC  

if you can get adjustable gas blocks I recommend it

2020-11-24 06:36:37 UTC  

I forget what brand I have on my 300 blackout but it's a bleed off one

2020-11-24 06:37:14 UTC  

My STG58 has the standard FAL adjustable system, but it still sucks with the gas vent all the way open.

2020-11-24 06:37:36 UTC  

you mean closed?

2020-11-24 06:37:52 UTC  

or is it not cycling?

2020-11-24 06:38:21 UTC  

KNS may make something too

2020-11-24 06:38:27 UTC  

or another company

2020-11-24 06:39:54 UTC  

That system basically bleads off the excess gas like the KNS. It cycles, but its still over-gassed. I could change them out on my ARs, but I don't want to take off the fixed FSP. I also have a TAVOR. No hope for that one.

2020-11-24 06:40:19 UTC  

ahhh I see

2020-11-24 06:40:37 UTC  

I've got an adjustable one on that MPX too

2020-11-24 06:40:39 UTC  

super light

2020-11-24 06:43:14 UTC  

Its pretty easy to change out the fixed FSP on the ARs, I just don't want to take out the taper pins... there will always be the holes in the barrel. At least with the AKs, it's like changing the gas piston in general. And it's hidden.

2020-11-24 06:44:49 UTC  

Its ok. It's supper cool to shoot bolt action suppressed. I almost always have that can on my RPR in 6.5CM. I'm really wanting an OSS, but it's like 9 months + with form 4s.

2020-11-24 06:48:26 UTC  

I agree

2020-11-24 06:53:31 UTC  

Anyone do a E-form form 1 lately? I heard the wait times were reasonable. I'm thinking of trying to get ahead of the pistol brace problem...

2020-11-24 07:01:38 UTC  

@BrianC yes, under a month sometimes

2020-11-24 07:01:47 UTC  

Nice

2020-11-24 07:01:58 UTC  

just make sure you have all of the information exactly correct lol

2020-11-24 07:03:12 UTC  

Had that issue with a Form 4 before... was the shop's fault on the SN. It was pretty easy to fix with the ATF

2020-11-24 07:03:35 UTC  

yeah with the eform 1s it was super quick. 10 minute turnaround.

2020-11-24 07:05:05 UTC  

Do you have to do the engraving right away? I've got a trust. A lot of shops want to sell stuff but don't know much about SBR conversions. Someone recommended I get the engraving done before I submit the form 1.
