I've used the SFBs, they do indeed have durability issues and the toebox is too narrow. Traction is OK at best. I replaced them with Bellville Mini-Mils. Much better boot in all ways except one, they're loud. They clack pretty bad on hard surfaces. The construction durability is better...

I know it's been said before but a Howa inlet would probably be a real winner, I might even find the cash for one!

I'm no HSLD SF Operator, but I've always found blank plain sights work faster for me. The more crap you put on there the more crap is in front of you to line up to try to make perfect (as the article admits regarding a crooked painting). I wouldn't put one on my duty gun, I like a serrated...

They never hit shit though.

My understanding is the idea behind the law is the fact that the ATF can only regulate firearms as part of interstate commerce, that's how the NFAs were passed. As such, if you build something Class 3 in one state and it never crosses state lines in a super technical probably going to jail...

Have a buddy shoot a braked AR next to you in a closed room.

I actually have a Harris with podlock right now, just exploring other options as I've noticed the Harris sucks to load. Regarding the Versa being floppy, have you tried the models with the finger adjustable tension on the cant and pan? Seems like that might solve the issues, and if it loads...

Interesting, I've never found my Peltors to be terribly hard to take apart and put back together, though I agree the design is crap compared to what it could be. I've also never experienced a delay in the audio cut-out, the muffs just die when the batteries aren't cutting it anymore. I do use...

I know there are a bunch of versa-pod threads out there but very few mention how they load. I'm interested in how the newer ones compare with a Harris since they seem to be on the same price point, especially regarding ease of loading. An Atlas is out of my budget presently, if there's...

Thanks for bumping this thread, don't know how I missed it. Davenport / Quad Cities guy here.

Do remember this is the area that banned large sodas..

I've had a pair of Peltor Tac 6s for more years than I can remember, they're still running strong. I also like Surefire's plugs that work in a similar fashion without batteries. The problem I have with the Surefires is mine broke after a few years (they're cheap though) and they seem to...

Sportkilt.

I got my feet wet with a bolt gun and now I'm wanting to dive in with something that I'll probably never outgrow. This rifle will punch paper, ding steel, eventually take game, and has a small possibility of being a duty rifle. I currently have steady access to a 600 yard range and a chance of...

Well, that was something else. Go dichotomy! I also see legal trouble for refusing to serve based on religious beliefs, and find it dumb as hell on top of that. First Bear Pit post.
