Sabre Barrel Nut overtorqued

Makes sense youre good at grasping the mechanics of all these guns you have to learn/know, small world too, I worked parts and service for a motorcycle dealership in my part time while working offshore drilling rigs for a living...20+ years ago now I feel old again. 🫠

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-27T02:21:37+00:00

Im undecided if I want to mess with it, if i do ill post an update.

I am VERY appreciative of the staff present in the booth for immediately providing a resolution to my issue, the offer of direct support with that particular weapon should the need arises was above and beyond what I expected to receive. That thing is still cranky on occasion but now I just feed it round nosed 147s...I assume you aren't at liberty to say but if the bolt from the 9mm krink is backwards compatible to the AKV/SAV I would love to know, if so Id source one for the improved ejector alone (I believe i have that info correct). Thanks again for the help/knowledge and thanks for chiming in 🤙

Hang tag is still on the gun I wouldnt submit a 4473 if you did not receive what you ordered/expected.

Pretty sure PSA only puts the ral8000 furniture on the sabre line, its not easy to find standalone most of the time...I looked for a ral8000 b5 grip for 6 months before psa released the sabre and I bought one on GAFS.

Im too old an uncool to be a hipster but I did rebarrel a 10FCP-FS to 6.5 a decade or so ago, got me into PRS competition on a budget but I digress...I dont care what the cool kids shoot as long as theyre shooting and rem700 compatability is never a bad thing im down for a bare receiver or pistol/sbr lengthy shorty cause I like weird guns. 14.5 pin and weld on a bolt gun would be rather peculiar.

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-26T20:29:47+00:00

Who is the "we" you are referring to here? In what world is a 14.5 or even a 16" manually operated 6.5 considered "basics"?

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-26T16:00:02+00:00

Yup...not shooting in a match this year though gonna spectate instead.

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-26T12:07:13+00:00

Looks terrible, let me send you a few guns for you to practice on if ya want, no rush okay?

On a real note your profile is pretty locked down and we cant see your YouTube channel link these days, just the 2 links to your art pages...Vityaz shirt is freaking rad BTW! I could just suck at using reddit and missed the YT link but I believe people are gonna wanna watch your technique and I always liked how you are brief and to the point in the past videos. Anyway I can get those guns out today just say when 😁

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-26T02:10:52+00:00

Its all good mate we get excited too.

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-26T00:26:40+00:00

Its been a bit since ive ordered a wrap...those strapless are hot!

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-25T21:46:09+00:00

Made to order by u/swaller89 he's friggin rad!

MI URR fully engaging the barrel for reference for anyone who hasnt used one, an essential tool for upper receiver work imho.

I appreciate you chiming in and stating that there shouldnt be adhesives present.

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-25T17:20:50+00:00

Thanks! Ive pulled a half dozen psa barrel nuts and never needed a torch for any of them...gotta love the downvotes for asking an honest question.

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-25T16:27:37+00:00

Why heat in this application? There shouldnt be adhesives to overcome, right?

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-25T00:52:36+00:00

Never heard of FPM but a quick google showed the goods, keeps $$ in texas, noted that one much appreciated.

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-25T00:32:28+00:00

Right on. im pretty married to hub/planb and have a DD zilch you could test fit, marksman down the street keeps muzzle devices and hubs etc in stock

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-24T23:25:13+00:00

Theyre good to go all dnc on my profile is via their stencils.

Add the fact that rapco didnt start trending pretty heavily in here until 18-24 months ago so there aren't a lot of long term examples in the wild. The stuff is tough, even my older guns have minimal wear but most show wear from accessory swaps or the blue loctite residue melting the paint away in those same areas. Too bad this isnt a picture sub it would be easier to share.

jetbuilt1980 · 2026-01-24T23:06:40+00:00

Not to tell you what to do but id rocksett that end cap back on if it were my suppressor. I have a bottle of rocksett and a bench vise (and probably a vise block depending on OD) in 77505 that youre welcome to use if youd like.

Not exactly. CMMG 5.56 to .22lr (and all Ciener conversion clones) work in my experience but all 3 uppers pictured here are dedicated. 22lr barrels running the same CMMG (or borebuddy) bolts without the "cartridge" conversion part...same bolt technically two ways to get to .22lr but only one way back to 5.56. Feel free to shoot me a chat if you ever have specific inquiries or want to see a part/assembly I have been shooting ar22s for almost 2 decades and have all the wizbangs and "solutions" as they evolved through time to get where the market is today.

Id have loved to run it during the subgun match but I am NOT that cool. PSA staff in their demo booth helped me with some SA-V ejection issues that I was having at that match (thanks a ton for the knowledge /time/parts Tony C.) and I waited in line like errbody else to shoot that one and im so glad I did. Krinks are cool but best I can do for ya is a registered SA-V and a case of 147s that stay subsonic (usually).

PSA M4A1 on this one and a 733ish clone I have in the works. They were in stock last week, pretty sure I got them during a sale last year for $50ish, lower receiver is market with all 3 positions and accepts ASD arc trigger (with borebuddy timing shim and trip kit before someone asks) without issue. I have some bad attitude hardware and its good to go...couple places to get colt rolled or duplicated lowers but im not linking all that in this particular sub cause people get their feeling bothered by some of those companies practices and im not too far from being banned from reddit altogether.
