    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Just wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to Sporting Services UK. Late last year I picked up the 1.6mm SFP 308 and 300WM bolt bodies and put a 338L SFP bolt body on backorder for my AXMC figuring it would be easy to just get a 1.6mm firing pin and swap it onto my current bolt shroud and...

    SOLD AXMC 308 SFP bolt and firing pin

    Sold 5/9 Doubled up a forgotten backorder and PX purchase a while back and ended up with an extra 308 1.6mm small firing pin bolt for an AXMC, #27773. It's brand new and never used. I also have a brand new 1.6mm small firing pin to go with it that you can install in your current bolt shroud...

    Influx of new related scammer accounts?

    Over the last few weeks I've been noticing quite a few new accounts with similar naming patterns being created. Some of them have already been reported as scammers and banned, but there appear to be a ton of others. I'm pretty sure they're not deersniper/BurtG's future alt accounts for the next...

    Sako QUAD - CUSTOM Trainer @ EuroOptic - YOU SPEC!

    Unfortunately I'm still looking. Brownells used to have them, but with their website update a year or two ago it seems all the gun schematics and factory replacement parts disappeared off their website and the old stocking part numbers went dead. Beretta USA and MGW don't have them either. I...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    Ilya posted it recently in another thread. Look at the bottom for adjusted expiration date. He believes it to be correct as some of the later stacked patents were abandoned. Post in thread 'New Schmidt Bender?'...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    Maybe they'll update the review after June 2026 when the Swarovski patent expires and they can compare a full FOV S&B 6-36... That would be a much more fair comparison than using the current FOV limited US market version. I'm going to try my best not to buy any more scopes until after June of...

    SOLD Badger C1 cantilever mount, black, 30mm, 1.54"

    SOLD 5/6 Have a like new Badger C1 black 30mm 1.54" 0 MOA mount for sale. Recently changed from a 30mm 1-6 to a 34mm 1-10 on my 18" AR and have this left over. Not sure why I even bothered changing optics as I pretty much never shoot that rifle... sometimes the want to try something new...

    New Schmidt Bender?

    With the adjusted expiration date of 6-25-26 it certainly looks like we'll be starting to see wide AFOV scopes from more manufacturers starting to hit the US market at that time. We know S&B already has full >22 degree AFOV versions of the 3-18 and 6-36 for non-US markets, but I wonder if there...

    Accessories BRASS GRACEFUL BALBAL !!!!!!! IS A SCAMMER beware

    The handwritten note on paper next to the item used to work to filter out most scammers (especially with a torn edge on the paper as it was harder to edge select in photoshop, and the editing would be very obvious) but now it's something the scammers can pretty easily photoshop. I've received a...

    Accessories BRASS GRACEFUL BALBAL !!!!!!! IS A SCAMMER beware

    Wonder if these accounts are all the same person/group and using the same IP address... Similar names, all recent account creation dates, none of them have made any posts, but a couple accounts have reacted to a few posts. The Balbal account was reported by other members recently too...

    New Schmidt Bender?

    That is an interesting point, as the 3-20, while it does not visibly tunnel like the 5-25, does lose just a little AFOV down at 3x, even though it's 24.06 degrees at 20x. Still interesting to see the selective compliance/enforcement of the Swarovski patent, as several non-European made scopes...

    New Schmidt Bender?

    Many of the older S&B designs like the 5-25 are down in the 21-ish degree AFOV region so the patent doesn't have any impact on them. As far as newer scopes, the 6-36 and 3-18 x 42 Meta are affected and have a much narrower FOV for the US market, and as far as I know that's currently the only...
