According to the spec sheets, both have 1:8 twist bbls, both are threaded. The big difference is bbl length (16" vs 22") and caliber (5.56 vs .223). On the caliber front, you can shoot .223 in a 5.56 chamber. 5.56 is not necessarily the best in a .223 chamber though. You may get FTE or other...

The YHR-567 features a .472-inch bore with a Geyer wrap and tapered gold brass leadpipe design for better response and intonation plus an adjustable thumb lever for playing comfort. It is keyed in F/Bb. This horn is used. My wife is a professional musician and is selling her original horn...

A quick search of the interwebs shows the PMC to run about 1.5-2 MOA for most shooters (from a rest with various rifles). M80 ball spec is only 2.4 MOA for the .mil; most of it runs better than that but no guarantees. I have not been impressed with XM193 lately, so maybe XM80 is getting cruddy...

My wife and I are certified NRA Basic Rifle instructors. Sadly, we're moving after the holidays. I wanted to see if anyone is interested in taking an NRA Basic Rifle class over the next two months or so before we jet. The NRA has a curriculum, but we can tailor to the group. Our area of...

I want to give folks a range review on a "special purpose rifle" (SPR) clone I made using parts from PSA and Primary Arms. I recently had the chance to put the rifle through its paces at a two-day Appleseed Full-Distance event. The concept was to clone the "SPR" MK12...

I have a rifle with a keymod rail setup. I didn't go out of my way to acquire it; PSA just happened to have a great deal that had a Keymod rail configuration. Thus far, I like it well enough. There is some added expense to add rails or swivel studs where you need/want them, but on the flip...
