      NWI Gunsmiths? Need barrel/flash supressor Install (AR-15)

      As an update, I ended up getting it assembled. I was initially worried about snapping the upper becuase I was improvising using wood blocks and not a real viceblock. I figured if it snapped I'd be out $100 and then I'd go buy the right tools. I ended up cranking it down hard and it feels...

      NWI Gunsmiths? Need barrel/flash supressor Install (AR-15)

      Update and question - I have the upper completely disassembled now and have a quick question on barrel nut torque. I understand you should go hand tight and then to the next gas tube hole. My issue is that when i get it solid hand-tight, putting a little force into it with bare hands, I have...

      NWI Gunsmiths? Need barrel/flash supressor Install (AR-15)

      As an update, I was able to install the barrel and flash supressor myself using some wood blocks and a vice. I put 100 rounds through the rifle with no issues, however after the range session i noticed the handguard had a little play in it. After further inspection, it appears the barrel nut...

      1911 Show-N-Tell

      Nice Kimber. I had Matt Mink from the CZ USA shooting team do the trigger install and trigger job. He did an incredible job. There is zero creep and almost no overtravel. About as close to a perfect trigger as I've ever felt. He's a great guy and I bought the pistol from his shop.

      300 Blackout 8'' SBR, Woot!

      Pics added! Hopefully we've got some Metal Gear Solid fans who recognize the custom engraving :) Enjoy! Also - +1 to Matt from Front Towards Enemy Firearms. Great sale on the barrel, and took the time to teach me a thing or two about supressors. He's got me interested :) Time to supress...

      New Dan Wesson Specialist 1911

      Yeah - I love this thing. Its tight, has run flawlessly, and is just beautiful... I'll get some more pics with a better camera. I'm about to upload my new 300 blackout SBR pics in the NFA section. Just finished taking some :D I'll get some more DW pics soon, probably tomorrow. Very happy...

      New Dan Wesson Specialist 1911

      Finally got the grips in from Sarge (He does AMAZING work, +1 to Sarge!) and have been taking her to range trips as often as possible. Dan Wesson makes a thing of beauty and the fit and finish is just outstanding. Dead-accurate right out of the box and so far has 800 rounds through it with no...

      NWI Gunsmiths? Need barrel/flash supressor Install (AR-15)

      Eep. I'll keep that in mind. Matt has been really helpful and has been following up with me ever since the barrel was ordered and comming in, I'll hit him up. Otherwise, any other recommendations in the NWI area?

      NWI Gunsmiths? Need barrel/flash supressor Install (AR-15)

      Hi all, Going to pick up my barrel from Front Towards Enemy Firearms (an INGO supporter!) tomorrow and I'm hashing back and forth trying to do the barrel install and flash supressor install myself. While the installs themselves arent tricky, I think it will be considering I do not own a...

      300 Blackout 8'' SBR, Woot!

      Pics will be posted likely on Tuesday after I pick up the barrel from the dealer. I ended up picking up a YHM Phantom 7.62 flash hider for now since at this point I'm pretty certain I'm going the YHM can route. Also got my Magpul MS3 sling in and, if anyone hasnt tried one, is really...

      300 Blackout 8'' SBR, Woot!

      Thanks for the info! Looks like I will likely go the YHM route. Saves money and its not like im going to war and carrying it all the time, so being slightly bulkier is a non issue.

      300 Blackout 8'' SBR, Woot!

      Would love to see pics - curious to see how much clearance is left between the rail and the can. Is that a 7.0 inch rail?

      300 Blackout 8'' SBR, Woot!

      Yeah, I'm just trying to confirm. If it doesnt reflex by .2 inches, I think I'm just going to pick up a YHM Phantom QD flash hider to prepare for getting a YHM Phantom supressor. I know i'll supress this rifle, just unsure of which route I want to go. YHM supressors being almost 1/2 the cost...

      300 Blackout 8'' SBR, Woot!

      Thanks - I'll take a look at Silencershop. I'm also waiting to get confirmation from AAC on if the new 90T flash hiders reflex over the barrel at all - last I heard is that the new ones reflex by .2 inches and is one of the reasons behind Noveske going from an 8.0'' to a 8.2'' barrel. I dont...

      300 Blackout 8'' SBR, Woot!

      EDIT: Just picked up the barrel from Matt of Front Towards Enemy Firearms. Excellent guy and a great sale. I'll be buying a supressor from him in the future for sure...he's got me curious... Also - Pics! :) Enjoy! Just got the tax stamp in the mail this morning. I'm picking up the barrel this...

      Season 3: SAT 11 AUG 2012 NWI Meet & Shoot

      +1 for the saiga if someone is bringing one along, same for the HD shotty that Jedi posted a pic of. Now that I've got my pistol done and i'm (still) waiting on SBR paperwork for my 8'' 300 Blackout (1.5 more months or so to go... :)) I'm kinda eyeing up a HD shotgun. Besides, real men shoot...

      Season 3: SAT 11 AUG 2012 NWI Meet & Shoot

      I'm thinking just out of principle I should put a round in the IL/Kentucky boarder - no conceal carry makes me sad. Othewrise, Ohio is geting a partial round in it for giving me speeding tickets on the turnpike T_T

      Season 3: SAT 11 AUG 2012 NWI Meet & Shoot

      Hmm, good question on the pistol comp - also, if you put a round in Kentucky and it touches Indiana, what is the score? Will be interesting to use a .45 for the event :) Looking forward to the meet - as an update it will be me +2 (wife and father-in-law) It looks like the food items werent...

      Season 3: SAT 11 AUG 2012 NWI Meet & Shoot

      That's fine. I'll bring grapes, fruit tray, cooler+ice, pop, water, and buns. Think 32 is enough or more? If we're plannin on two dogs per person I can bring 64. I guess I was a bit spoiled - the July meet was my first and I was like "holy crap so many people..." :laugh:
