Mick9abf Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I hope you 'garnished' it with extra swarf before taking the pictures - just for that flap effect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac.308 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Ok, CSR comp today (thanks to all those who organised and ran it)... And the CMMG AR10 was in action. Worked beautifully. Thanks to Mark and his patients with me. Got stung BAAAAAD by a "gunsmith" before hence I was nervous and more than likely bugged the snot out of him. 110% vouch for Bradley arms... Comms, customer service, turn around time, workmanship and the finish.... I was nervous I would have a patchwork rifle but all blends in nicely. Would utilise his services again (sorry Mark, may have to deal with me again) Now just need to man up and control the beast when kneeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasherman Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 May I suggest a sharp cutter and some coolant would have given you a burr free finish.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder about the kneeling shots as it does bark a bit and you loose sight of the target in an instant. Lovely job By the way Mark . Very very nice. I do love an AR10. Man's calibre .

dhpdean Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 It Has a good brake that does a great job , Still a lot more lively than a 5.56 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Looks good Mark and interesting to see you using parallels to protect the work piece, I do the same especially with soft metals. No matter how often you wipe the vice jaw faces down it is so easy to leave a fleck of swarf on the face that leaves a pressure mark on the work piece.

I bought a self timed brake from this guy http://www.muzzlebrakesandmore.com/Home_Page.php and couldn't be more pleased. My friend's 13 year old daughter emptied two magazines of my long range loads and told her dad she wanted a rifle like mine because it kicked like a .22.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
