    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    On mine, I've used neither, but if I were after a more permanent solution, a dab of blue Loktite would suffice. Just have your wife/buddy hold the upper receiver while you work the strap wrench. I'd be shocked if the nut ever backed out.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    By all means, get a receiver rod. Or, someone here will let you borrow one. They'll all fit the SOLO upper. That said, for straight-pull builds, I've never had an issue with just going hand tight with the barrel nut or using a strap wrench to go just beyond that.

    “Ulul R. 1985” sounds like the name of a future president

    Reloading Shotgun for Tungsten - Guidance?

    I just read an article on China stopping tungsten exports to USA. Might be a good time to buy. Could get even spendier soon.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    To go really lightweight, you must do four things: 1. Luck out. Example: the polymer Blackthorne upper receiver I scored years ago is a rare find. Without that, going sub-3 would have been more challenging. 2. Get creative. Off-the-shelf parts won't cut it. You must modify and think...

    Yes. It’s possible. Check out my post #282 on page 15 of this thread.

    WTS Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5CM 16" w/ TBAC CB Brake

    Sweet rifle. Good deal, too. Hope someone jumps on this quickly. If I owned this, I'd snag some 107 TMKs and start rippin' throats.

    Anyone Dialing Trijicon Accupoint 4-16/ 3-18?

    I believe the guts of the various Trijicon scopes are built to the same standard. The only variables are tube size, illumination, turrets, and reticles. From what I gather, the consensus across the product lines is glowing endorsement for tracking, holding zero, RTZ, etc.

    Shopping my first "nice" rifle

    6mm Creedmoor is my vote. Buy the best rifle you can afford.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Case size being equal, the bigger the bore diameter, the more efficient the cartridge will be in a short barrel. Examples: 338 Federal is more efficient than .308, 6.5 CM is more efficient than 22 CM, .30-06 is more efficient than .25-06, etc.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Here’s my take. There’s two reasons to go 6x45 over .223. 1) legality in certain states. 2) increased performance from sub-16-inch barrels. That’s it. No animal will know the difference. Put bullet in vitals, and lights go out in less than 20 seconds.

    When I do it, I’ll post pics. At this point, it’s purely theoretical

    SBR Howa mini vs ULUL- 7.62/6.5/300blk

    Darn good point, but the AR isn't for everyone. It's too industrial in appearance, I suppose.

    TMK for hunting?

    OP, if you have a few years to waste, search "TMK" on this forum. You'll find 13,464 firsthand accounts of kills that range from 10 feet to 1,000 yards on lil' critters like prairie dogs up to the big stuff like moose and brown bear. Even the little TMKs work great. Most on Rokslide love 'em...

    SBR Howa mini vs ULUL- 7.62/6.5/300blk

    Sweet rifle. Well done. I'd like to build something almost identical. My Mini .223 would have the barrel chopped and threaded at 12.5 inches. I'd spin on a Griffin GP5 suppressor and pin and weld the can to the barrel. This would be short, handy, balance nicely, and provide adequate ballistics...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    It's been a year since I used that 6 ARC barrel. At the time, it wasn't smooth to operate, but it was usable. An important note is this: At the time, I was clueless about removing the gas rings and extractor O ring, so I never used it correctly in my traditional upper modified to be a...
