Re: AX v DTA SRS I have owned both as well and prefer the AX. The difference for me is in the details. I prefer a two stage trigger to a single stage even though the single stage in the DTA is very nice. Also, the AI double stack mags are easier to load and hold more rounds. The biggest...

Re: New AI mkIII .308 *pics* Looking good! You made a great choice. I actually got the email yesterday from Mile High that my AX is in so I should have a post like this, except with crappy photos, very soon.

Re: accidental fire My dad had an accidental discharge with an older 700 BDL in 7mm rem mag back in the mid 80's. He had kept his rifle loaded, including a bullet in the chamber, during the drive back to camp from his blind. When he got back to camp he went to unload the rifle and it went...

Re: What is your favorite or most wanted pistol & why? My favorite that is currently in the safe is a Glock 17 that has had a grip reduction and stippling job by Diversified Firearms Concepts. I used to not be a big fan of Glocks, but with the right mods I've learned to like them. I have a...

Re: 4k to spend on new rifle Is your budget for the rifle only or do you also need good glass to go on it? I agree with what others have suggested about crawling behind as many rifles as you can before making your purchase. You will quickly figure out what stocks work best for you...

Re: I want a Tomahawk can I see some? Dan Winkler makes some interesting hawks. Some of his hawks, along with his knives, have found favor with the high-speed low-drag types. You can check out his semi-custom line of knives and hawks here...

Re: 16-18 inch shorty rifles I decided to try out the DTA SRS since I was looking for a compact bolt gun. I haven't shot it yet so I'm not sure how I'm going to like it, but the size is great. Mine is the standard SRS with a 22" 308 barrel. Below are pictures comparing the SRS to my AIAW...

Re: What's Your First Gun Related Purchase For 2012 Mine was a DTA SRS in 308 along with a S&B PM2 5-25 P4F. I also picked up three Atlas V8 bipods to replace my first gen units and a set of Viperskins for my AIAW. I think I'm done for a bit now unless I decide the SRS isn't for me and I...

Re: AIAW out in the desert... The Viperskins for my AW showed up today. I just slapped them on and snapped a couple of quick iPhone pics. I really like the design, but they don't fit perfect with the IMUNS attached. The skins bow out just a bit where the contact the IMUNS. A little...

Re: Another AIAW with FDE Viperskins My FDE Viperskins shipped yesterday for my AW. I'm interested to see how I like the new panels. If they make it before I head out to SHOT I will post up some pics.

I recently picked up a Daniel Defense Mk18 upper from my buddy at Western Sport and decided to do a Mk18 semi-clone. I've had the Knights can sitting in the safe for awhile and I figured this would be a good rifle to run it on. Here are a few crappy pics. I haven't torqued down the comp yet so...
