Understand your logo now - you are simply a satisfied customer. I was hoping you were somehow connected to the factory so we could ask you for an AR-10 barrel run. :laugh:

My gunsmith has good things to say about Bartlein barrels but I don't own one. Sounds like you have some nice bolt action rifles.

I can call Frank and ask him. Not sure what the differences would be in the production.

Short progress report from the range outing. Using a M308 Nikon scope (I know.....) at 100 yds the smallest group off a bipod was at 1.25" By the time you factor the -.308 you get a .94" center to center group. Sub MOA, but barely. I didn't like that particular ammo, so will be looking for something else to tighten that up, plus the next set will be benched I think. All in all, shoots well. I do need to get used to that trigger though. Seems like I start in one zip code and go bang in another.

Good! It'll tighten up after you break it in.

Lol. You should have been on the trigger end of my HK-91 (the rifle my 10A4BF replaced). It was like creap-grind-bind, and 11 lbs at let-off. That may have explained the 5 MOA groups, but I can't tolerate stuff that doesn't work.

Oh I do remember a little about the HK91. Beast of a rifle. Liked it sometimes, didn't like it a lot more often though. I vaguely recall a nasty trigger though. Right now the AR10 is going to be a hobby rifle to use to get away from my true love of Rimfire .22LR comp guns. I have 4 Win 52D's with original to specialized barrels. Shoot those for competition and the stress that builds can be heavy actually. When you are shooting at a circle .27" in diameter with a .22LR bullet, and a winning score is perfect with a lot of x's, then it all boils down to a .100 of an inch. The AR will become my stress relief I think. I enjoy it a lot too.

Since you are a 22 comp shooter my guess is that you will an easy sell on this suggestion. You need (want) a new trigger. While I have used a lot of different parts on my AR platform rifles I use only one brand of trigger. Giessele. Here is a link to their website.

geissele.com/triggers.html

My last build included a SSA-E model. I have also used the DMR and National Match triggers on my earlier builds before the SSA and SSA-E models were available. While the DMR can be adjusted to a lower weight than the SSA-E I like the simplicity of the SSA and SSA-E models.

I've got both the SSA and SSA-E, best money I've ever spent on an AR...except maybe ammo!

Not ever having done a swap on an AR trigger, how hard is it to do? I am competent and have tools and work space etc... But I don't want to get into this and find I need a smith.

I admit I haven't done it yet, as I like the Armalite National Match trigger, But I do have a Geissele GS2 trigger waiting to go in an AR15. Instructions come with them that are well written, and you might want to read this.
