Removing SBR from NFA registry correctly?

I am going back into the military and expect between military schools and possible deployments, there will be a lot of times I will be away from home. My home defense rifle is a 6.8 SBR AR-15 with a 12 inch barrel with a 5.56 SBR upper that is mostly my plinking upper. Although my wife is on my trus...

Re: Scoped deer slayer 6.8 SBR finished

Well some good news, I found the perfect loads...Silver State Armory 85 grain TSX commercial load. The velocity is coming in just above 2900 FPS. At 100 yards, I got 0.58 inch expansion in water.

Scoped deer slayer 6.8 SBR finished

Whoo-hoo! The barrel and my other parts are in to upgrade my 5.56 into a 6.8 deer rifle. SSA 85 grain TSX tactical loads should do well out to 200 plus yards, but this is primarly a 20 to 100 yard gun for Georgia rolling hills. I am looking forward to seeing the results of the 12 inch, SPCII, 1:11 t...

Re: scope on my SBR??

With my 11.5 inch 5.56, I was getting excellent accuracy and good expansion with 70 grain TSX at 60 yards (posted a thread here somewhere) that I believe it would still expand at 100 plus yards. I run an Aimpoint but I have ran a 3-9x40 scope on it which is huge on it, but very nice to pinpoint shot...

Re: SBR Caliber and Barrel Length on a Form 1

I am selling my 11.5 inch 5.56 barrel and replacing it with a 12 inch 6.8 barrel because I can't afford two calibers. When I send in my letter informing the ATF of a permanent change in caliber, barrel length, and overall length, how do I know it has been changed in their system?

Re: Po-boy ballistic test - AR-15 SBR with SSA 5.56 TSX

I have heard velocity losses of 20 to 50 fps per inch depending on the projectile weight. 30 fps seems to be the norm quoted online with 69 grain plus bullets. I decided to err on the side of caution and use the 50 fps loss figure and handloads.com ballistics caculator. 11.5 to 16 inch barrel is a l...

Po-boy ballistic test - AR-15 SBR with SSA 5.56 TSX

I thought some of the SBR fans here might like this, I setup a simple ballistic test with my SBR. I choose a shorter range because I was worried about getting enough velocity to open the bullet from such a short barrel. Plus I haven't bush-hogged the pasture lately and the grass was too high to get ...

My 11.5 is dead on reliable and will still open up 70 grain TSX at 60 yards nicely and possibly at 100 yards. Granted, I am running a 1:7 barrel

Mark seems to be under an increasing heavier work load every time I talk to him. I love the personal service and detailed information from PSI, but I think that is a major downfall when you're dealing with all the workload they have. Hopefully thing will slow down or they will bring in some more help.

Anyone SBR'ed a .458 SOCOM? My local gun shop has a RRA .458 SOCOM that is just begging me to buy and cut down to 10 inch for a second upper my SBR lower. Gun store guy says 10 inch will still get 90% of the velocity.

Muzzle flash? Ballistics? Reliability cycling?
