    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Dilemma

    Some first hand reports can be found by google searches of "Acro P2 failure" and "Acro p2 battery life". The P2 was on my radar until some of the issues started popping up on various gun forums/groups and related YouTube videos. One of the first videos was this one from Barrel and Hatchet, Not...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Dilemma

    I choose the RMR. It is proven, long battery life, and bombproof. If I'm going to carry I want a durable optic. There are numerous reports of the Acro P2 not being durable, fogging up internally, and the rear world battery life isn't anything close to what they publish. The DPP and SRO have big...

    Night Vision Just bought NVG, What to use for optics?

    +1 on EXPS3 and T2 being the best for NV passive aiming. I have two "go-to" NV guns one with a EXPS3.0 and the other with a T2 both on Unity risers/FAST mounts for a 2.26" height. If weight and size are a big concern the T2 is the clear winner. EXPS3 is better at passive aiming, but is a lot...

    AR setup with PEQ and Light

    The answer is yes and no. You will find all manners of setups with LAM and lights and switch setups. On my two night guns I've gone through a number of different iterations with the switches. I've done no tape switches, Unity taps, Unity Axon, and Mod buttons. I'm even in the process of changing...

    My height over bore with LPVO optics are 2.91" and 3.14". I also have a mid power optic'd AR at 2.75" and a couple of Red Dot/Holo's at 3.47".

    Cheap peq15? Somogear

    I have one on a dedicated 22lr AR upper. Mine was purchased at the beginning of this year (potted version). Early models often had reports of non-aligned vis and IR lasers or you weren’t able to zero the IR illuminator to the laser or messed up focus. I haven’t had any of these issues so far...

    Type A rifles ( BG Defense )....anybody running 1 of them

    The company only has so many CNC machines. I heard a few things from dealers and from the company themselves about some of the length of time. From a dealer I heard they were making 4K rifles a year, but then 20/21 timeframe they received orders for 40K rifles. The rifles are anodized and then...

    Type A rifles ( BG Defense )....anybody running 1 of them

    I finally got the call my rifle was at the local FFL.. 18 month wait. I have picked it up and put everything on it, but I haven't been able to shoot it yet. Hopefully, I get a chance this next weekend.

    Mounting SureFire SOCOM556-RC2 to a DD MK18 10.3" Pistol

    A suppressor will increase gas coming back in your face and can cause some other issues. An adjustable gas block/adjustable BCG, "gas busting" charging handle or RTV sealant, and heavier buffers/springs are most common when going with a suppressor. You can try and plan in advance, but really it...

    Type A rifles ( BG Defense )....anybody running 1 of them

    They are based in Michigan so almost every LGS around here carries them. I haven't heard anything bad about them, and probably watched some of the same YouTube vids as you. I liked what they did and ordered myself a 13.7 Pro in multiple shades of FDE in January of 2021. The quoted lead time was...

    Nostalgia has me longing for an MP5 or Clone . Is this another Sig210 moment?

    I've never tried any of the offerings from B&T yet, but have some experience in other PCC's. My first was a Kel-Tec Sub2K (gen 1 then later a gen 2). My second was a CZ Scorpion Evo that I had chopped and rethreaded to make a K and SBR'd it. Third one was the real mistake. I bought a POF 5PK...
