    M40 needed a Greenie

    Most probably aging, or more accurately, sun and UV light wear on the anodized finish. Edited to add info from a lot more reliable source of knowledge than my own brain cranium: “New old stock unused greenie scopes have different shades of green for different parts. It's only partially caused...

    M40A1 repo mounts and rings

    That top simrad cap setup is the first time I’ve seen the the regular top ring half used as an undercarriage ring. Looks like that would be a lot more physically stable than relying on one small screw on either side and the scope tube itself when a heavy NV optic is clamped into the cap!

    M40A1 repo mounts and rings

    Yup, looks like 3 hole (on either side, so 6 hole total) simrad caps were used in service. The TMA simrad cap I have is the same way, but not drilled all the way through. With the angled sides of both the cap pictured and the TMA cap, hard to see any but the center screw holes being used, as...

    M40A1 repo mounts and rings

    Hey all. Not to keep harping on the subject of the ring screw hole width spacing, but want to clarify my previous posts on comparisons between these group buy repro mounts and others, and in regards to simrad cap fit and compatibility. So another mount I recently acquired that was advertised as...

    Gunsmithing OPS Ring Screws Help

    Hi, all. Need some help finding appropriate replacement screws for some OPS rings. They are 8-32 torx screws, but the head diameter is about .210” wide and there is very little tolerance in the holes for much larger diameter heads. A screw from a current Leupold ring with a .225” diameter head...

    The AI Arctic Warfare Picture Thread

    That’s 💯🔥! I have that same exact scope, but without the L17A1 and NSN markings. Anyone know of a good laser engraver in the states that can add those markings on? 😂

    Army M24 Build Thread

    @lockedandloaded The photo that Badger has for their M24 base is not representative of the actual item. The base they sell does have M24 marked on top, which is not shown in the photo. However, the M24 marking is different than how Badger does it. The base you have looks like it was hand marked...

    M40A1 repo mounts and rings

    All things considered, I would think the Unertl mounts would be based on the original Redfield bottom screw rings. So I took out a couple different sets of Redfield 1” bottom screw rings and compared them. I compared: 1. Original Redfield 1” bottom screw ring 2. Another Redfield 1” bottom screw...
