Anyone have a line on correct upper receivers? Finally got the rail. Listings for Colt bolts or BCGs would be appreciated too.

Next time it comes in, going to order some of it to try out. I do have some Black Hills 77gr Blue and Red box also. Just forgot to bring them this time. Once I find a good load for this rifle, I will stock up about 500 rounds for it. |

Went and picked my Allen Engineering aem5 today.. took 10 days for my approval which was 5 days longer than last one.
I think all I have left is to get a bore guide.. Boy does my aem5 take a lot of rotations to thread on. I think I'm at 9 1/4 turns.  Attached File Attached File |

Bison Armory barrel... shoots 77gr SMK's well. I'm sure it won't do this all the time, but initial range results are promising.
 Five rounds 77gr SMK hand loads...  Three rounds 55gr ball...

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Nobody69s: @bigbore Are these available for sale or just personal usage? You can get covers all over, it's just hard to find them to fit the AE cans. I made one to test the design and it works great on something you would use for precision (not dirt blasting) shooting. I'm just taking silicon lined pot holders from Amazon and sewing locally made covers to length over them. I'll sell them for about $50 if anyone is interested.  Been through a couple designs, and have it pretty squared away now.

I don’t mind 1/2-1” of suppressor hanging out the end, but there’s no friction fit in the world that will keep a can cover in place under recoil unless it can ‘hang up’ on the backside of the can. |

I got my ARMS 40 from RRA - they show them as in stock still. You misunderstood my post. The website said they were out-of-stock and that they could be backordered and payment would not process until they returned to stock. My order was not processed as a backorder, my credit card was charged immediately. In any case, I contacted them and they said they would reverse the charge until they came back in inventory; problem solved. I also got my ARMS #40 from RRA, then a week later I found a wingless one.

Hopefully I don’t lose too many points for the cs stock and swfa. Just got my pri upper dropped on a h&r lower. If it shoots as well as I hope maybe I’ll be tempted to steal the nxs off of my 7rem mag. Also trying to work up the courage for paint.

The collar is correct, but your front sight is not. The collar is likely stopping on the sight and not the shoulder/step on the barrel. Add a crush washer and you should be good or switch to a short collar. ETA - 4-5 turns is what most of the real MK12s got. It's all mine gets and is one of the real ones. |
