    Rifle Scopes Lightweight short range hunting optic?

    The Vector is really starting to sway me with all its features. Trying to find a 2-10 or 1.5-9 for a mid range AR to replace my Viper gen 2 2-10 since the turrets are huge and do not lock. Vector has looking turrets and the GPO 1.5-9x44 has capped turrets and the only one in that line with a mil...

    Vortex Razor LHT 2-10?

    Yeah I was looking at the Viper HD 2-10 with capped turrets but only has the crappy BDC reticle also.

    Vortex 2-10 PST vs 1-10 Razor

    People will complain about the weight, but most of the weight is in the occular end of the scope. That is generally closer to the grip so the balance is not affected that much.

    Vortex 2-10 PST vs 1-10 Razor

    Yes you can easily see it. Plus the 2x has a larger field of view in comparison to similar powered scopes.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot on Glock without slide cut?

    I try to set up my irons just short enough to clear the reddot body. No need to have super tall sights taking up half the reddot window.

    From which brand is this handguard?

    Go to the manufacture's website and look up the specs for the rail you want. They usually have more info on the brand's website vs a distributor website. Very few barrel nuts are universal besides the standard GI barrel nut. Hense the reason manufactures provides a barrel nut and wrench to fit...

    Suppressed 9mm

    https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/Has-the-CMMG-RDB-ejector-spring-issue-been-resolved-by-the-Mk10-spring-/15-781020/ Read through this thread before you commit.

    Suppressed 9mm

    If going CMMG make sure it is the new fixed ejector version. The AR style spring ejector bolt has proven to be unreliable after 300-500 rds. Have one myself and can confirm it is a dud. Switched over to the PSA AR-V pistol with a Maxim Roller Delayed Buffer system. It uses 35 rd Scorpion style...

    Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

    The steiner 1-4 is perfect for an AR pistol build. Mine is on a 300 BO pistol.

    Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

    23 yrs and still going LEO. We actually did active shooter training in this particular school. The running joke is that it was designed off a prison since it resembles one so much. The kids are generally from lower income families so they are getting them prepared for their future. Our sheriff...

    Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

    We have a high school with hallways as long as 250 yards. Picture you at one end and badguy rounds the corner at the other end durring an active shooter.

    Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

    It saves on the cost of a mount when I already have threads on the barrel. One less set of threads to deal with. I hear complaints of carbon locked mounts and suppressors coming loose while shooting.

    Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

    You take an insulated tumbler filled with hot water and put just the suppressor in while the gun is stood on end. It's not rocket science. Comes right iff with a strap wrench. Shake out the water and heat it with a heat gun to dry. They don't get taken off very often.

    Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

    So I don't have to worry about them coming loose when I don't want them to. It is easy enough to take off with a soak in boiling water.
