Thread: 223 help

I tried it on the existing barrel and the original barrel it came with they were both miles out probably explains the accuracy problems I was having

Well there you go.

Recoil???? fuck I hate the 223 hurts like errr

Me to

I wouldn't shoot my AR in a 3 gun comp without a muzzle break.

Tried shooting without either a suppressor or brake and the difference is a fair bit and my rifle is front heavy. Suppressor is actually worse for me than shooting without anything. And to be fair you would trash any suppressor in no time with the volume of fire on some courses.

Their is enough recoil in a .223 to make a difference in a fast course of fire.

Using a good brake speeds things up.

Exactly the reason why most built up AR's are braked. Try a double tap without one and see how difficult it is to remain on target. Would an ODL get trashed R93? They certainly get feckn hot!

Appologies. I should have stated that my suppressor would get trashed. It is well built but not as robust as some designed for the task.

I was properly advised when it was built for me to go to a couple brands that specialise in high volume suppressors if I was going to use it exclusively for 3 gun.

A lot of ROs complained about the noise of my AR during a course. So I thought a suppressor would help stop the whinging.
It did but it slowed my acquisition down way too much. I now don't use it at all. It is getting fitted to a new toy when I get home so not a complete waste of money.

They can whinge all they want about my break. It is legal and I will keep using it

A bit of info I got told to try a factory round in the chamber then put tape on the back of the case and try it 1 layer of masking tape measured 5 thou not totally accurate but better than nothing perhaps it took 2 strips of tape to stop the bolt closing

Yep brand new sent it away so hopefully it gets sorted

I am a bit confused here northdude.

I assume you sourced some headspace gauges and both barrels chambered the No go?

Or have I got that wrong?

Yep tried some gauges in the barrel I fitted to ar that was blowing primers and the bolt closed and still had clearance you could feel on the no go gauge so out of interest tried it on the original barrel it came with that was inaccurate as hell ant it was the same

Is it the same bolt with two different barrels? If so, I would think that the bolt face has been cut to deep, or the lugs set back too far.

Yep seems to be the bolt I'd think
