    Gunsmithing M40A1 Stock problem, gunsmith needed

    I bought one of these when they came up a few years back, and I have decided to finally build it. I found a problem with the middle screw location. It appears to be slightly too far forward, and with the two trigger guard screws in place, the magazine floor plate won't close, or if closed when...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace 5.5-25x50 FFP [pic heavy]

    Re: Falcon Menace 5.5-25x50 FFP [pic heavy] That, and perhaps the rifle is canted slightly on the bipod? Or that the tower (which one would think was damned close to vertical) is out of alignment with the reticle.

    Rifle Scopes Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression

    Re: Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression The offset is for lefty shooters right eye position, so it looks more "centered" for them... No? Oh well, I tried.

    Rifle Scopes FFP ranging reticle with static-size cross-hair? Any interest?

    Re: Roman Numerals vs Arabic Doc, I don't doubt that your ranging is correct in those pics, but I don't see it. But if someone else can range to 1/4 or less, then it is worth doing. Thanks for the correction. Always willing to learn.

    Rifle Scopes FFP ranging reticle with static-size cross-hair? Any interest?

    Re: Roman Numerals vs Arabic Pretty slick. Is that why you used IIII instead of IV? Can someone actually range a half minute(IPHY) at 17 power? That is 6" at 1000 yards, or ranging a dime at 100 yards. Ok, before someone corrects me, a dime is .700, which is closer to 3/4 IPHY, but you get...

    Re: FFP ranging reticle with static-size cross-hai Any thoughts to moving the windage center crosshair up a minute or two? Not that USO scope are short on elevation. Oh, and why Roman numerals vs arabic? If the odd numbers are smaller than the even, it would allow more room for an larger...

    Re: FFP ranging reticle with static-size cross-hair? Any interest? Ok, that idea went down the toilet... So John, what is the typical cost of a new reticle design? I realize that front will be different than rear, especially since you haven't done any rear type yet. But a round number for...

    Re: FFP ranging reticle with static-size cross-hair? Any interest? If I were you, I would hold out for a few others to be interested. A one off would mean you alone pay for the developement costs of the new reticle system. Once it is done (the development) it is done, and any additional...
