    Drop-In Rail and Bipod

    Re: Drop-In Rail and Bipod Thanks for the info, guys. Yeah, there's no chance of me being able to afford a whole new upper, I'll be struggling to scrape the money together if I do go free-float. I have a Troy 9" drop-in right now and I like it a lot, other than not being free floating...

    Drop-In Rail and Bipod

    In your experience, does shooting with a bipod mounted to a non-FF barrel really affect accuracy at all within 200 yards? A new FF rail, plus all the tools (or having someone install), plus a new flip-up front sight is a lot of expense to incur if it's not going to make more than a few...

    21 feet? Think again ...

    Re: 21 feet? Think again ... ....or you could spend some time and effort learning the basic techniques of Gracie Humaita. That way if your gun isn't on you or isn't accessible fast enough, you at least have some idea of what to do with an attacker who has a blade. For anyone who hasn't...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST VS Hubble space scope

    Re: Vortex PST VS Hubble space scope I loved my Hubble and I think anyone who complains about the weight of a quality optic should just hit the gym a few times. That said, I had to have someone sent out to look at it (three years ago) due to what I felt like was poor battery life for the...

    Finished AR build...well almost...GUN PORN!

    Re: Finished AR build...well almost...GUN PORN! I believe SBR'ing it or suppressing it will each put you in the $200 annual tax stamp requirement- just making sure you knew that, before you spent a lot of money on it! I think it looks great the way it is- and probably pretty light weight...

    Rifle Scopes Burris P.E.P.R QD: Return to Zero?

    Hey guys, a few of you here helped me decide on the Viper PST 1-4x24 scope to put on my AR (thanks, by the way!). I'm now getting my full rebuild list laid out and I had a question for anyone with experience with the PEPR QD mounts. What I'm intending to do is when I'm using the rifle out...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Upgrade Recommendations

    Re: Optics Upgrade Recommendations I just found samplelist, I'm thinking I'll probably get a low power variable off there if I find one of the really good ones within my price range. As long as it's graded A or B, I don't think I'd have any issues with it being a demo/used, given the quality...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Upgrade Recommendations

    Re: Optics Upgrade Recommendations Yeah I definitely agree with the 'buy once cry once' rule of thumb with optics (i.e. the Aimpoint). I think the 1-4x setup is the way to go, I'll just have to sit back and think (and read) on which one I should go with. I'm really starting to like that...

    Rifle Scopes Is selling NC Star products immoral?

    Re: Is selling NC Star products immoral? As long as you were in an Airsoft gun store, I don't think it was immoral at all...I mean, it was an Airsoft gun store right? To the OP, I agree- NCStar stuff belongs in the toys section or on an Airsoft rifle.

    Rifle Scopes Optics Upgrade Recommendations

    Re: Optics Upgrade Recommendations nice looking rifle! If I'm going to put a mini reflex on top, I won't need an illuminated reticle for BAC really...would I be able to get glass comparable to the Viper PST for less money, with a non-illuminated reticle?

    Rifle Scopes Optics Upgrade Recommendations

    Re: Optics Upgrade Recommendations So the ACOG has been ruled out and I'm down to a 1-4x, or a magnifier. I've got a lot of subjective opinions (all very well founded by the way), but I have a couple of obective questions/points. 1. The magnifier + Aimpoint will be more rugged, tough...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Upgrade Recommendations

    Re: Optics Upgrade Recommendations Thanks for the continued discussion, guys. To answer someones question, no, I have no way of getting my hands on a magnifier or an ACOG. I can look at a couple of 1-4x's at the local gun shops, but in this part of the south, anything remotely considered...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Upgrade Recommendations

    Re: Optics Upgrade Recommendations I've heavily considered those Black Majik. Actually it's the Vortex PST 1-4x I've strongly considered, because of being about $300 cheaper and still by all acounts extremely good. I'm just not sure I like the reticle options of the Accupoint, and i'm not...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Upgrade Recommendations

    Re: Optics Upgrade Recommendations Thanks for the reply, force_multiplier. I was curious as to how you'd estimate bullet drop/rise with just the magnifier and the Aimpoint. I should do a little research on the AR15 .223 bullet trajectory for my setup and memorize it probably- looks like I'm...
