That's the plan, but I've got a busy couple of weeks coming up, so I'll have to be patient. I hate that!

 

[sgreen3]

Ha ha yea that's the worst part about getting a new toy...

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I ordered a muzzle brake for it last night. Haven't even shot it yet and I'm already modifying it!

This one...

308 308 TPI Competion Muzzle Brake 5 8x24 Pitch w Crush Washe | eBay

That thing will sound like a cannon going off with one of those on there

That's okay. Won't be any louder than any of my 8mm Mausers.

 

[sgreen3]

Yea their pretty loud to, but those breaks tend to amplify the blast.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I'm mainly concerned with reducing the muzzle rise for follow up shots, so it should help with that.

 

[sgreen3]

Oh yea for sure, it should help. Just make sure when installing it that it clocks correctly.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Big holes to the sides and little holes on top, right?

That's it you got it. Ill probably end up putting a YHM QD break on my LR308 project once I get my new barrel so Ill be able to run my can on it. So Ill be blasting the neighbors also, lol

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Is it really that much louder than the bird cage that's on there now though?

It's not any louder, but it's directing "the loud" more towards other shooters and yourself than a birdcage.

Ah, okay. Makes sense!

Dogdaddy, that is one nice PA10! Just ordered a PA10 last night (upper & lower) from Palmetto. With 8 AR builds from them, I have yet to have any problems of any kind. All function flawlessly, and accurate to boot. Have you shot it yet? Also ordered a case of Austrian Hirtenberger BOXER PRIMED .308/7.62x51 146grn to feed it. From what I have read these PA10s run fine on it. And at .553 cents a round shipped for reloadable 7.62, should be able to get know the rifle pretty good.
By the way I have a twin to your MR73. You have good taste!

Hoping to shoot this weekend. I just got a shipment of ZQ1 @ 44 cents/rd, also brass cased, boxer primed.

Nice looking rifle. Congrats.

 

[paddywonka]

ZQ1 @ 44 cents/rd shipped is a very good price. That is cheaper than what some places are selling for Wolf, without shipping!
