AB Quantum Major Update 3.4

Ok. I’m wanting the auto update. I don’t see a streaming button like video. I have a choice of calypso symbol, WiFi symbol, kestrel symbol at bottom. I’m assuming when calypso symbol is blue it is streaming?
correct.

@Doc, will the new Magpul/Maztech work with AB Q currently or are we still waiting on that integration? If waiting, any idea on time frame? Q3? Next year? Thank you!
TBD still ongoing discussions between companies.

Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

Hey all. I just wanted to revisit this topic as I'm getting ready to start doing some experimenting.

I now have my 3rd can in limbo.

I've gone back through this thread and after learning (I think) a few things, I believe my original question should have been regarding the effects of increasing or decreasing the internal volume of the suppressor. Some mount and muzzle device combos eat up a lot of internal space. Some actually add what looks to be a significant amount of internal volume. I mean, it looks like using a Liberty Precision Machine mini brake with an Atlas XL could be a way to make your can act like its an inch longer.

I'm just having fun with it. The R9 is a cool little can for what it is and the Fat Cat has exceeded all of my expectations with what it came with right out of the box.

I stumbled across the ZRO DT mount at OCL and it was CHEAP, so that gonna be my first experiment in adding a bit of internal volume.

While I'm waiting for my Vox S, I'm gonna hunt around for an Atlas mount. I'm just not sure if I want the standard one or go all the way with the big honkin mount.

2 main “ingredients”

SEO “ sight enhancement oil”

That is the original generic name use for injecting a liquid into the muscle to pump it up. Used in body building for weak parts. If used correctly you really don’t notice.

When abused which is been very obvious the last 10-15 years or so the muscle doesn’t look as striated as the muscle next to it. Like a smooth shoulder and a striated chest. Looks stupid all things equal.

People also inject filler like they do for lips and ass etc. same idea as SEO but it lasts longer and almost stays where you inject it.

This guy looks a little more filler than oil. That much “oil” and it would flop around like a bag full of water. Lol

Toughest scope mounts?

I would trust the new SPUHR mounts. But with that said, Area 419 mounts are awful hard to beat. Depending on what rifle/optic combo I’d also consider, Badger, Seekins, Retillia, Geissele. Pretty sure GDI is still kicking too.
Funny you said this. The last 3 mounts I purchased were badger, Reptilia, area 419.

That mouthy chick had about as real a dose of near death experience as it could have gotten. Absolutely no situational awareness to realize that she could have been dead right there, only that the guy with the gun wasn't interested in going after her at all. In the heat of whatever altercation was happening, he didn't even seem to notice her...

Carl Zeiss Sports Optics to close shop

So, they are pushing out of Germany all of their products that we would interested in? Sort of reads that way. Maybe I'm off base.

I do have a few experienced rifle shooting friends with S3's and they like them quite a lot except perhaps for the somewhat strange way to set the zero stop. That line already is sourced out of Germany, no?

Cheers

S3's are made in Japan :)

Longer range ar15 sight in distance

In a addition to that, even accommodating a BDC isn't as simple as just zeroing at 50 because the manual said to. As you said, 50/200 almost never works out and chances are you aren't shooting the exact bullet at the exact speed in the same environmentals that the reticle designer input into his program when he spaced his stadia hashes.
I'm a big BDC fan for what I use 5.56 guns for and to get the BDC's to line up out to at least 600 yards (about as far as I find them trustworthy and as far as I need a 5.56 gun to work) I have guns zeroed at all different distances. Note also that most BDC's are designed around 55-62gr bullets going pretty quick. The 69-77gr stuff that most of us are sending out yonder start out with a velocity disadvantage that is eventually cancelled out by the BC advantage. So again, the manual specified 50/200 never works out. I've got BDC equipped guns zeroed from 170-190 and 210-230 yards depending on velocity to get the BDC lined up perfectly, but not a one of them at exactly 200.

But now that I wrote all that out, my more precision oriented guns with mil reticles are all zeroed at 100 for simplicities sake, which is probably more what the OP was asking about.
For all of the reasons you mentioned, I'm not a big fan of BDCs, but I am big fan of ACOGs, so it is what it is on that front. I've had pretty good luck getting the BDC to line up with 55 to 62 grain projectiles out of my 11.5 with stuff other than m193 or m855 using reticles intended for .223. I usually just zero at 300 using the 300 yard hash mark. That pretty much puts me on steel out to distances that I would shoot with those rigs and the more I shoot them, the better I get to know the setup. You can't just throw on the optic, zero at a distance and figure you're good out to X number of yards.
