    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    I’m pretty comfortable concluding that most of the issues with the SFAR are because of the shitty gasblock. Replace it with a Superlative so that it doesn’t leak, lock, or bang against the handguard. My gun went from 3 MOA to 3/4 MOA by swapping the block. Also, nobody mentioned, but the stock...

    Am I the only one that doesn't get the Fix Q?

    “Better than a stapler” is probably a fair characterization. As for the Cross - in my view, the handguard bending is fine, so long as it doesn’t contact the barrel. Don’t mount optics or lasers to it. I hear the newer ARCA-integrated rail is an upgrade. I’m happy with my hinge and think it’s...

    Am I the only one that doesn't get the Fix Q?

    I own both. The Fix is very nicely constructed, and a joy to carry. If you close your eyes and run the gun, it has the elegance and poise of a stapler. The Cross is a far, far, nicer gun from a shooter’s perspective, and almost as nice to carry. Recent samples of either are deficient in barrel...

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    I’d be happy with those results. I think they’re atypical. Mine is about 1.5-2x worse on almost every count.

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    Ruger makes a product to a price point, and was successful. I think they were generally more concerned with function, unsuppressed, than accuracy or refinement. It comes in under $1k and generally works fine with M80 ball. I spent a weekend on a line of 16 SFARs and saw few malfunctions. The...

    I think I want a red dot on my new pistol.

    Yuck. Well, I can vouch for one product of theirs a couple times. Might need to look elsewhere in the future. Thanks.

    I think I want a red dot on my new pistol.

    Ignoring certain vocal posters, Trijicon gave up innovating in favor of litigating, long ago. Holosuns are proven in combat, at scale, and I’ve moved over all my serious duty gear to their enclosed emitters. The EPS and EPS carry are fantastic optics at any price. It just happens that they can...

    New Sig CROSS

    Slightly longer, but my Craddock with a 20” and ~M24 contour balances as described.

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    Having sat through a 15+ student class for around 300 rounds, the only real issues were a bad gasblock, some kind of boogered up trigger, and super underwhelming accuracy (albeit, with Aguila M80 clone). Accuracy with mine has been pretty poor - need to borescope and assess copper in mine.

    Is the aero precision SOLUS worth buying

    Probably the most embarrassing kindergarten shit I’ve ever read on this forum. Why would you do this to yourself? Anyway - I picked one up during the BF sale at the mistake price that Aero had the integrity to stand on. No magic revelations about the gun. It’s very nice for the price point, and...

    Suppressors First (possibly only) centerfire suppressor?

    You don’t seem to be measuring, but even if you were - hearing damage is a physical phenomenon. 140dB is not a hard-and-fast number, damage occurs below that point, and repeated exposure has a cumulative effect. In semi-automatics, port noise usually dominates muzzle blast. I’d wear your ear...

    Suppressors First (possibly only) centerfire suppressor?

    Light and short beats the pursuit of absolute suppression in a larger format can that will still require hearing protection, and negatively impact handling and harmonics. 5 inches and 8 ounces is transformational capability.

    Suppressors First (possibly only) centerfire suppressor?

    Nobody ever follows this advice, but the TBAC Ultra 5 is the best single center fire can to own. You’ll wear ears even when shooting suppressed - go with the 5” to take the edge off and don’t fuck with gun handling or excess gas.

    BCGs “Optimized” for Suppressors

    LMT *enhanced* carrier with a Superlative block is peak gassing in 2023. Add in a JP gas ring for better functioning and seal. The LMT carrier has delayed/extended unlock and extra venting.

    New Sig CROSS

    Update on my Craddock barrel, spun up on a Bartlein 400MODBB - it shoots. I’m not fantastic at printing bugholes, but at 100 yards, I printed four groups under 3/4”, in pretty quick succession (maybe 10 mins of shooting). I first undertook this project because my stock barrel would walk like...
