    Noveske N4 Afghan vs HK MR 556A1 TRADE?

    FWIW, I've posted my target shot with 55 gr in your thread at HKPro. Heavier loads, like 77 gr, can get you better results. With hand loads and time you can achieve even more. HK barrels get better with time.

    Winter camouflage advice request

    Very informative post, thanks. Could you clarify whether USMC and VERTX nylon sets freeze as fast as military issue overwhite cotton? It seems that Gore-tex camo set will be the best option freezing-wise. Haven't seen anything like that though.

    Winter camouflage advice request

    It's called m/90v. It's obtainable commercially, decent but rather expensive. Finnish m/05 winter camo is much better, but impossible to get.

    Winter camouflage advice request

    Thanks for your input guys. It has a lot of green and tan as for winter camo, while the supposed white looks rather yellowish. I highly doubt it could blend well in either open or woodland winter environment. No successful all-around winter pattern uses such combination. Sounds like a great...

    Winter camouflage advice request

    Winter is coming and I need some snow camo set in non-hunting pattern. I want something durable and non-soaking, that can be worn over regular winter gear. I was looking for USMC winter MARPAT covers, but haven't seen anything bigger than Large Regular on Ebay. I'm afraid that's too small. Does...

    Geissele Customer Service

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but haven't found anything related. Here's my story. I would like to throw Geissele 45° Quick Detach Swivel Mount on Geissele 14.5" Super Modular Rail installed on my MR223. However, the thickness of the barrel of my MR223 makes me wonder if there is enough...

    AR15 Flip up sights - suggestions?

    I use Troy Micros on both of my MRs. As stated above, good sights that doesn't obstruct your FOV as much as MBUS do.

    Stock for AR10

    Forget about Ergo, go with UBR. It's a winner, hands down. I run my HK MR 223 with UBR. No wobble, no nothing. When locked, it's as solid as fixed stock. While being noticeably heavier than any of the ordinary adjustable AR stocks, it balances very well against heavier barrels. It also gives you...

    Rifle Scopes Advice Request - Howa M 1500 and IOR 6 - 24 x 50 IL

    Thanks for the warning. Howa in question is definitely not a 2013 model, as it was bought last year. However, I'll check the receiver height just to be sure. I intended to use one piece mount, preferably Spuhr, but now I'm afraid it will sit to high. Do you need to use an adjustable cheekpiece...
