CLP for Quick ar 10 cleaning

Just cleaned my Bcg on my ar 10 and chamber with clp to knock some crude off from shooting suppressed. Took bcg apart liberaly applied clp wiped it down function check seems good to go. I have read clp isn't that good to use since it only leaves a light film of lubrication. So question what should I use to lubricate? Is there other products I should be using other than CLP? I know you shouldn't mix cleaning chemicals but if I need to clean with another product I can give it a good wipe down to get majority of clp off. Or an I over thinking shit again. I do not use it to clean my barrel. Thanks for the info

Night Vision Vis Laser Power

For those of you who chase pigs at night and run white light / vis laser from time to time, how important is a FP visible laser to you? Or has a civ power visible laser worked fine? I'm thinking out the passenger side or bed of a SXS shooting on the move type stuff...

Been a long time since I sold my MAWL and at the moment I'm running an OTAL C (ir version) so not much to go off of from experience unfortunately but appreciate any insight

My solution to protestors who interrupt Congressional proceedings

Bag 'Em and Gag 'Em
Takes the fight right out of them. Surprises them and shuts them up, very disorienting, unable to effectively resist, safer for the officer, and keeps them out of the camera. Had this done to me in Special Forces, don't see a problem.

And, as an interesting sidenote, one of the SF missions is CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue). Back during the Cold War, we would likely rescue a downed pilot 300 plus miles inside occupied territory. We would then insert them into the "pipeline" with the underground to get them back to friendly lines. It was SOP to bag and gag the pilot until we could verify his identity. Back then, a very slow process. Team equipment included a finger print kit and a camera. We would use the Fingerprint Identification System and send the data back by burst communication. We could also take photo's and a physical copy of the fingerprints for pick up by aircraft.

Surprise Air Force! Believe me, I don't enjoy this, LOL.

If he was really lucky, he would get an "E" ticket ride of his life on an MC-130E with the Fulton STAR recovery system

CIA Pilatus Porter. We would suspend a package on a line strung between two poles and the Pilatus would use a hook to snag the line and the attached package. I trained with the CIA using this technique. The Pilatus would snag the line which was only about 15 feet above ground level.

Custom Ruger American Gen 2 6.5 Grendel

As far as I know after doing a lot of searching on the internet and YouTube, what I'm about to say I have done, has never been done before. On the other hand if it has I wish I would have found it long before now as it would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I've seen a lot about the new Ruger American Gen 2 rifles so I picked up a couple. The first is a 5.56 NATO Ranch that I installed a Timney single stage trigger in and then dropped the barreled action into a Magpul Hunter stock. The 5.56 has done well which leads to the topic at hand. I picked up the 20" 6.5 Grendel and decided to do the same thing to it only I installed the two stage Timney trigger in the 6.5 Grendel.

The initial Magpul stock was set up for STANAG magazines which wouldn't feed 100% reliably for nothing. Different magazines and even trying to adjust the feed lips of the magazine helped but wasn't a 100% fix. So, after doing some looking I discovered that MDT makes an AICS magazine for 6mm ARC/6.5 Grendel. I also after much to do was able to get the AICS magwell from Magpul. Getting the magwell and then getting it set up and installed so it would work was an absolute dumpster fire and there's no reason for it to be as difficult as it ended up being. My advice if you want to go the route I'm going to continue to explain, buy the Magpul AICS stock or the MDT LSS-XL Gen 2 AICS chassis.

After getting the magwell put together and filing off three tabs on the aluminum skeleton chassis in the Magpul stock I could then effectively use the MDT AICS magazines.

Initial testing was better than expected and got better as I continued to reload the magazine and cycle rounds through the action. There was still a hangup here and there which I was still less than pleased with. It was always the last round that would not feed reliably. Since I load 6.5 Grendel I decided to take advantage of the increased OAL the magazine will accommodate. I determined that a 123 gr ELD-M touched the lands at 2.368" OAL. I then loaded up a dummy round at 2.338" OAL, 0.030" off the lands. I then spent the next five minutes at least loading that dummy round in the magazine and then chamberig that dummy round. It works reliably now without fail.

The long story long of this is, this does work and does indeed improve the rifle. Is it worth it? I can only answer that for me and for me it's definitely worth it. Granted in the end with the magazines, trigger, stock, 20 MOA scope rail, rings, scope, scope level, Area 419 Hellfire brake (I despise radial brakes), I have effectively turned a $550 rifle into a $2,000+ rifle. The added good news though is it shoots various loads quite well and it's not even broke in yet. I'm looking forward to redeveloping loads being able to take advantage of the longer OAL the MDT magazines will accommodate. Hope this possibly helps someone figure out how to make their Ruger American 6.5 Grendel reliable.

Night Vision Bare minimum Thermal scope and mono recommendation

It's the same old question I've been asked and see here asked ad nauseum, What thermal optic(s) would you recommend for someone on a budget ?
This is the golden age of thermal and while I don't like supporting foreign adversaries , the far east manufacturers are really putting out some great optics for every budget.
My answer to the budget optic recommendation is that affordable doesn't mean viable.
Low budget crappy optics are just that, Crap.
You can't see shit with them , they use internal or outdated battery power sources and the specs are terrible.
While I'm not sponsored by any manufacturer, I've been buying, testing and using budget thermal scopes and monocular's for use as back up and loaner optics to aid in predator elimination on several cattle farms, hunting preserves and small family farms in my area.
Real field use in varying weather conditions and with many different people of varying expertise using them.
Some who know how to use them and some who've never looked through or operated a thermal a second of their life.
My current backup scope and monocular are viable optics with bare minimum features and specs that will get the job done, use the same removable power source and are easy to operate.
Both have 5 years warranties, 384 Res , 50 Hz, 12um pixel pitch, sub 25 Mk with nice sized display screens.
These optics don't have crappy postage stamp sized display screens that are recessed in the eye piece.
You look into them and the image is right there.

Scope- Rix L3 384 resolution with Ocular zoom, removable 18650 battery, mounted in a quality QD mount -$2,300 shipped

Mono- AGM Seeker 15-384 with removable 18650 battery - $1,195 shipped

Both come with 2 batteries and chargers.

Both have a lot of features and the ability to shut those features off.

For under $3,500 you'll be able to spot & engage targets with confidence and rule the night.

There are other scopes and mono's that are cheaper, but they suck balls and your throwing your money down the drain if your not going to spend it on decent optics.
Your not going to get a new decent useable resolution thermal scope or mono for $500, so stop asking.
Same with 640 res optics.
Your going to have to sell a kidney or sell one of the kids if you want to go the 640 res route and maybe two kids if you want to buy American optics.

SOLD Burris Optics 10x42 Signature HD Laser Rangefinding Binoculars

I purchased these in October of 2024 and used them for hunting season. I have since gotten into PRS shooting and decided to upgrade to a larger power. These are great and super easy to use. The glass is very clear and allows for you to catch fine detail. I paid $782.00 after tax for these and will let them go for $650.00. That includes basic shipping to lower 48. If you want them insured, you can pay the difference which I expect will be minimal.
