    Night Vision NODS and the northern lights

    Well, I doubt if my tubes are that good, I mean they’re decent, now I’m wondering if it’s worth it to get up. Mine are also the older Green type instead of the fancier, white phosphorus. I wonder how that would affect the color. Are yours white or green?

    Night Vision NODS and the northern lights

    We’ve been getting some of the northern lights all the way down here in Arizona and people I’ve been taking pictures of them, but they’re hard to see with the naked eye. Has anyone tried looking at them with their goggles? I’m just wondering how much IR is in them . I might try waking up at...

    i just noticed you mentioned primer cratering,, there is a slight amount but i am getting some other pressure signs, blown primer, ejector marks, flat primer,, which i have been addressing and that is why i wound up borescoping it cause i wanted to see if there was anything unusual.

    AR10 6.5 creedmoor, is copper blob on gas port common?

    yes, i am going to update post,, criterion is being very stand up-ish and they are sending new barrel with return label. it must be tough to put gas port right thru a "valley" part of the rifling right? i mean, an ar barrel can't be rotated and the gas port has to be pretty exact distance...

    AR10 6.5 creedmoor, is copper blob on gas port common?

    i will play around with it some more but it is amazing the wide range of observations on the subject. i still can't imagine the bullet doing well with some of the jacket missing but i guess that is why i posted on here,, I just really don't know. i do know the ES on the hornady sure...

    AR10 6.5 creedmoor, is copper blob on gas port common?

    i should elaborate, when i say it shoots, it's nothing to write home about, and the ES has increased to about 110 vs first box of same ammo which the ES was around 40 ish. and this has only been about 50 rds. i will see what they say. it's too bad there isn't a tool on a shank thta...

    Rifle Scopes cheap and easy sunshade for multiple scopes? any good idea's?
