Andrew,

thanks for for your input, I have no idea of the history - the rifle was bought from MFL some time ago.

the hole is 3-4mm deep and eccentrically tapered.

by removing the magazine and inspecting the chamber area below the hole it appears that the chamber is unaffected.

with regards to the fissure, it’s actually a car hair - the only marks on the surface are the light crossing marks from bullet feed.

Here is the hole in question - any concerns?

Hello,

bought the above rifle some time ago from MFL firearms, it has a 2-3mm hole in the receiver at 12 o’clock.

Doesn't appear threaded, and although I haven’t probed it, it doesn’t appear to go through to the chamber.

Is this a gas vent hole - or has anyone come across this before?

Thanks 

Reviving an old post but have people had issues with Tik Tac magazines and COAL in .223 and 6.5 CM?

Am leaning toward a Varmint with it’s heavier profile barrel, fitted into a KRG bravo using accurate magazines which appear to have excellent room for COAL. 

Maybe be an issue over nothing!

Have seen an RPA Interceptor in the above chambering for sale, 28 inch barrel but with a 1-9 twist.

i was expecting a 1-8 to stabilise the 140 - ish grain bullets for long range.

it appears that this twist is a RPA factory offering, is there a reason that 1-8 isn’t used by RPA for this chambering?

Thanks guys, have a powerpack as standard however wanted to keep batteries in it to at least keep date and time going - not imperative.

Didnt realise it was so low on batteries as hadn’t used it for more than a few minutes to attempt set up.

i assumed the abrupt cut off was down to a firmware issue but alas battery death!

Thanks John, seems to have done it, seemingly there has been battery drain whilst the unit has been bagged - time for fresh batteries but at least it’s not something more difficult!

have messaged the company direct but no luck so chancing my arm here!

it will only switch on intermittently, and when it does it isnt long enough to adjust settings!

has fresh batteries and it's a brand new unit so understandably frustrated!

any ideas?

Have used the OD suppressors on a few firearms, a 9x19 pistol, a .45 ACP pistol, a .45 ACP HK UMP, a 5.56 M4, a 5.56 VHS Bullpup, a 5.56 HK 53 and also on a .308 AI.

They are very lightweight - titanium and inconel, and do a good job during automatic fire.

Those are my 2 pennies.
