Not to resurrect an old thread, but I do the same. Thanks for this as it answered all my questions.

Well, both JP Enterprises and BHW came through in a big way for me. BHW offered to take all my parts, make them fit right and even test fire it. All this for the cost of shipping! I was amazed. I expected at most them to offer to turn the barrel down. JP then emailed me and said they already...

So I have all my pieces and I go to put them together. Then I run into a major issue. The OD of the BHW barrel is 1.204 near the chamber area. The diameter of the barrel retaining nut that came with the JP Enterprises tube is 1.210. The inside diameter of the tightening tool for it is 1.160...

The barrel has shipped! on the 17th I put her together

I had the old GB inside the tube so no adjustment. Muzzle velocity is 2650fps with 150gr FMJ's. this is still the .308 barrel. I can't wait to put on the 24" 260 and see what I get with it and 123gr SST's.

I have the adjustable GB already, just a pain to swap out the tubes on them. The suppressor is not something I am into. Looks horrible (personal opinion), and if I shoot against someone, I want them to know I am there, which the brake does really well. I tried a couple shots with it on and man...

Here we are so far. I Got the old gas block to fit under the JP guard and went shooting. Oh boy does it make a difference! I was bursting milk jugs at 400 like no body's business.

All of the parts are in except for the barrel. That I have to wait 8-12 more weeks for. I might do some testing with the other components while I am waiting. I do have a few 308 rounds left around.

Here is a thread the I will track a build I have been dreaming of for a few years now. I will only update when something changes or to reply to you guys. Hope you enjoy as it may take a bit for all the parts to come in. First is the starting point. I bought the upper rifle a couple years ago...

Sorry, I disagree with those statements I left in and gave reasons why. Not trying to argue, just stating my view. I am new to the site, but have used this gun rather extensively. I think most are better served with he 20 simply due to the recoil difference. It allows for better shots. Not...

Thanks for the welcome. I can already tell I will like this site! Here are a few pics for you all. My daughter sighting in for deer season! I think she likes it! A new .243Win gotten for a steal. A future .260? Her current favorite deer rifle! All three over 500yds. Howa .223 40gr Noslers...

It isn't the same gun, but my old bushy hated light bullets. Mine preferred near max loads of H335 and A2230, 55gr Sierra Blitzkings, and Federal primers. That is about all I can give to you that might help. I will say it was a sub-MOA rifle with any bullet 55gr and up and that was with the...

My best load for this rifle was the one you see. 28gr H335 under a 40gr pill. However, there were other issues with that load that made me refrain from hunting with it. From another write up: After some trial and error I came with a load that was a compromise load several factors. I needed a...

I love the AR platform just because its cycling functions lead to an inherently accurate firearm. I will not claim they can replace a bolt gun in the most accurate of venues like benchrest, but they can compete quite well in field conditions. I would argue that an average bolt gun and an...

I have one of these and it shoots pretty good. I like the handling of it as it is comparable to my AR15. It recoils lightly, swings quickly, and gets on target as fast as you can expect from it. I do think the larger round is better served in a longer barrel as my AR is my "fast gun" to use...
