Surprisingly easy! I only had to take a few minutes to narrow a 15mm wrench. Only had to remember "Right to loosen" :) I may use a chop saw to cut the head off that wrench, turning it into a sleeve with octogon edges so a large socket can fit over it. Then, torquing it down should be a cinch! https:...

I don't think it'll be too tough. The work was originally done by TROS, where he cut and crown the original barrel, and then used their adaptor/barrel nut.

I'll try to remove it for s& g real quick, although I don't have any wrenches narrowed yet...

Thanks and Thanks! The loss is not that big of a deal. It was a good lesson learned. Folks that know me would understand how shocking it was for me to be a bit careless like that.

Thanks!

Thanks for the input. While I was out today I picked up some IMR 4064 as a backup, but I am still prepping the brass. I will see if I can score some H4198 tomorrow, and as a backup, are there any concerns with IMR-4198? Starting load in the Lyman Reloading Handbook (49th Ed.) is 31.5 (which was the ...

Hi All, It has been a rather long time since I have been over here, I hope all is well with folks.

Targets were @ 100 yards while sighting in. Only had the sling and mat doubled over on the bench to keep it still. As I mentioned before, the optic is just temporary to get an idea of what I am looking for.

Actually, that is not a joke. An alert went out a few months back (quite a few to think of it), of a web site that was selling ARs under the name of power tools. There was not FFL involvement in the process of purchasing these "tools".

The only thing to consider is that if you intend to take the case with you on a trip (plane), you will need a TSA lock. Pelican actually sells them.

The Spectre will add 6".

I had somewhat the same issue, but no real modification was needed. Just a little oil and working the ejector with a pin punch did the trick.

I'm certain you can take a suppressor out of the state as far as the NFA branch of the BATFE is concerned. But, you will want to be certain suppressors are OK to posses in the state(s) you are traveling through (and to).
