Sorry mate, i must have missed something on this forum being a 'new member'
is the forum just for 'switched on' shooters of for all shooters who pay homeage to the black rifle, me thinks you may have pissed off some people with that comment. |

Me, or Streetfighter? Or both of us?
It's all a big piss take here, don't take a single word we say to heart, have you not noticed that we can't stay on topic ever, and most posts are us taking the piss out of each other? You will have noticed that out of the three main black rifle suppliers in the UK, we have one who posts here, whom we all know and get on with. So SGC tends to take a back seat in discussions regarding purchasing . Maybe if he got himself on here and joined in...... Dave |

AAAAAANnNYYYway, This was my topic so i'll go off on a tangent and tell you about the first outdoor shoot of the new rifle.
The morning started out very iffy, i woke up in a strange house with a very big hangover, after watching the mighty ENGLAND beat down those welsh people  After a sausage buttie and a cup of industrial stregnth coffee i headed out to altcar with new toy and various types of ammo. We were on the 200yrd I range ( which was good because i didnt want to have my first shoot at 500yds or worse) Anyway after removing the crowd from around my stunning new baby i got up there and tried various types of ammo ( couldnt get the 7.62 to fit though  ).I found PMC to be the best the dodgy russian stuff wasnt to bad to my supprise, the radway was stiff to eject and being a hungover tard and letting someone talk me into trying there home loads i spent 10mins with a live round jammed in the breech ( took the upper off and eased it open !  ) problem solved !Question time :- What type of groups do you chaps get from the factory stuff ? What do you guys find shoots well out of your ar's and do you think loading my own will improve the groups i'm getting ? Cheers for reading. Steve P.S. To drunk to remember the camera, pics next time. |

Steve i know it's more expensive than reloading but i buy in bulk the 62g American eagle, This ammo is really AR friendly and my Speedmaster ejects with unbelievable ease and the buggers are pretty accurate also, Get some and see for yourself chap!

agree with that 62g american eagle goes great in the m4gery. Anything out to 600yds if the winds not mucking about.

Wadda you do with your empties if you are not reloading? I just finished yesterday reloading 50rounds of SMK 69gr to try one day this week. If they work as well as the 52's did or better I'll probly stick with this combination. And now I have about 400 cases by the same manufacturer I'm good to go. What caused that reload to jam in your chamber? Cheers Taffy |

Cartridge headspace problem. Lemme guess, you tried one of your "friends" reloads and it wouldn't chamber correctly, Yes?? In fact the bolt wouldn't even go all the way into battery. Correct?? And you couldn't get the unfired round out of it. Am I right??? Then you had to disassemble the upper and lever the live round out. Sound familiar???? Your mate hasn't screwed his sizing die down far enough and therefore he isn't resizing his cases enough. The distance between the case head and the shoulder is too long (it's only marginal, 1 or 2 thou). The bolt lugs just start to turn but the cartirdge case is oversize, causing a total lock-up. When you size your cases, you should have about 1-3 thou cartridge headspace clearance. Mark |

Glad to see you've calmed down now after your wobbly this morning. I think you'll fit in just nicely here. No-one takes anything too seriously here, it's all a major piss-take. Regarding the Internet...when someone posts anything, and I mean anything......it can be the most abusive insult ever, but if it's followed by one of these , that means it is all in jest.And I look forward to taking the piss from you even more in the future Feel free to do likewise Mark |

Taffy, it's impossible. No-ones ever seen Fat Bob, ever. He's just a myth, a voice on the telephone. A bit like Bosley in Charlies Angels, or Capt. Mainwaring's wife, Or Robin Master's in Magnum Actually, I think I will try and get a pic of the "Beast of Bodmin" one of these days. Maybe rbecks can get one. After all, he is "close" to him you know Mark |

Rumour has it he was at the Phoenix, but as he did not move all day he may have been just a cardboard cutout… when I spoke to him he did not respond so he may have been a fake FB. ANdy |

So his rifle has slightly more generous headspace than yours. That's down to Fat Bob and his reamer/headspace control Mark |

Whaddya buy that for??? It's F**king Sh*t Actually it's not that bad...oh wait a minute...it is that bad. Accuracy is abysmal in my opinion, but it's probably one of the better factory .223 rounds, which doesn't really say a lot for factory grade .223 ammo. But you get what you pay for. If you really do want top quality factory grade ammo then you have to buy Federal Gold Medal Match ammo. It's expensive though. But remember, every time you shoot manufactured ammo and don't reload, you're throwing away 15 pence worth of case which you should be reusing. How much do you pay for AE .223?? £25/100?? I can reload top quality 223 with 77gn Sierra's for a lot less than that Mark Mark |

Dave, Bob does make a good rifle though - eventually. I've used his parts in the past and will do again if needs be, and I believe Sabre have helped him out and vice-versa. Most of these AR parts are interchangeable, the only thing that makes a difference is the service. Now if you'll all f*** off and stop ringing me to complain, I'll be able to get me tea.  Matt |
