    Tikka T1x and Jard triggers

    Just to let you guys know, Jard has made a trigger just for the T1x with a safety which is lower and will clear the bolt. Photos for your view. Got mine last week after calling and talking to them and found out that it is now available. Not yet on their website but available if you call.

    Drilling out a LaRue Quad Rail handguard..

    Use the Seeking adjustable that I used and follow my steps to change the Larue, it worked perfect for me.

    Rifle Scopes What technology drives an “Ultradot” RDS?

    There are people, some with astigmatism that have problems with reflex sights. It's hard to say whether you are one of those unless you have looked through an Aimpoint.

    Rifle Scopes What technology drives an “Ultradot” RDS?

    Aimpoints, especially the CompM4/M5s are of course the gold standard when you are talking about durability and battery life (and of course cost). But they are certainly not the gold standard when it comes to a blurred dot - thus the question. I think the Ultradots are about 1/3 the price of a...

    Rifle Scopes What technology drives an “Ultradot” RDS?

    That's amazing. One has to wonder though with an Aimpoint which generally have this problem, considering their cost which is the highest, why they don't have the best collimation quality?

    Rifle Scopes What technology drives an “Ultradot” RDS?

    Having used a few RDS in my time, I thought I understood them…. So for example, the Aimpoints are LED-based reflex sights, and the EoTechs are laser-based holographic sights. For me at least, the reflex sights are a “blur comet” that many of you have experienced, but the holographic sights like...

    What's happening at Primary Arms?

    So TOTALLY my fault as it appears that all the messages went to my spam folder... Should have checked. Just want to give big thanks to Marsh and all the great folks at PA for all the help in the time being - this is the reason why I buy from them and why you should too!

    What's happening at Primary Arms?

    This is my favorite place to get stuff but recently been having problems. Try to order two carbine buffers on June 8th but the website would not allow me to log on with my "old password", say it will send me an e-mail to input new password - never received the e-mail. Finally gave up after a...

    Drilling out a LaRue Quad Rail handguard..

    Thanks! It's an interesting option. The SLR Sentry does indeed seem slimmer, but if someone is thinking of using one for this specific application i.e. with a LaRue Quad Handguard, please keep in mind that it might still need some adjusting due to the adjustment screws that sits on its side...

    Drilling out a LaRue Quad Rail handguard..

    Just a little eye candy to thank everyone for helping me think/work through this. "Adjusted" barrel opening, and gun setup for SD. Weight BTW dropped from a whopping 11 lb 3 oz to 9 lb 5 oz a drop of 30 oz or about 2 lbs.

    Drilling out a LaRue Quad Rail handguard..

    A little grinding there a little grinding there, and it all fits like a charm.... All together and gas block is not touching the handguard but gas adjustment screw is in one of the openings on the top to allow easy gas adjustment - sooo sweet!

    Drilling out a LaRue Quad Rail handguard..

    LOL! Guess what I have been doing with a Dremel and an aluminum oxide grinding bit? :p It's working and the gas block can now go in about 1/3 of the way. Will do the rest tomorrow.
