Slowly But Surely - Big J - 05-05-2015
Just an update. My barrel from Precision Firearms will be in this week. Won't have time to finish the build but I'm excited to get the barrel, bolt and gas tube. I decided against using the vortex mount because it'd be silly to put ring mount marks on that brand new scope only to eventually swap it over to a mount with 20moa of cant on it. So I have a AD Recon 30mm 20moa on the way. Hopefully I'll have time to finish assembling and maybe even break it in next week.

I received my barrel last Thursday, it was beautiful, but it was missing a little something so I called Mark and it went back to PF on Friday. It was a bummer but oh well I'll get it back soon enough. Excellent customer service btw. My mount made it in today. Very nice, can't wait to toss it all together.

No assembly yet but I'm very happy to post a pic of a very nice barrel. Plus give some props to Precision Firearms for the best turnaround time in the world. They got my barrel on Tuesday and I got it back on Friday. You can't beat that. Mark is a good guy to deal with. Hope to make some time to assemble this week.

Well I made time and got my rifle together. Not sure about the rail, it feels nice and looks good but had a very noticeable tuning fork twang when the bolt slams foward, even when dry firing it has a bit of a tink sound. All from the rail. This rifle is for punching paper and whacking steel so I'm not too worried about it. Plus I used a dab of red loctite on the barrel extension and gas block, so I'll let it ride for awhile, lol. Now to make time to break it in then dial it in to see what it/I can do, lol.

It might be your flash hider/muzzle break since the ends are all the danger length.
Slowly But Surely - Variable - 05-18-2015
Yeah, my thoughts too. My Blackout flash suppressors ring, so I'd check the brake for the tuning fork ring.

As goofy as it is, its the rail, maybe I have it too tight or I'll try something in between the rail and barrel nut. I can grab the Brakeout, release the bolt and get the ping. Do the same thing, holding the rail and no ping. It may not be that big a deal on a rest when shooting it. We will see next week, hopefully.
