    Seekins SP3Rv3 Guard

    Not all low-pro gas blocks were created equal, but generally speaking, the SLR Sentry and Syrac blocks (Gen 1 and 2) will fit under the SP3R in my experience (again...depending on any accessory rails you might have mounted around the journal, your barrel/journal size, gas block design/size...

    Seekins SP3Rv3 Guard

    I have had no issues with heat-transfer/overheating/etc. problems with the Seekins SP3R handguards (regardless of generation from v1 through current v3). My largest combo with the SP3R uses an SLR Rifleworks adjustable block under a 15" SP3R with minimal clearance between the ID of the rail and...

    Is this system balanced?

    Your MAX RANGE alone is but a small part of the equation that you'll need to take into consideration before proceeding with what will/won't work for you (at least ideally) in terms of your optics selection. You need to think about what you'll be doing with the rifle the vast majority of the...

    Wait time for WOA Varmint uppers?

    HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND YOURS AS WELL, BROTHER! If that's what John and Co. told you would be the rough lead time on a complete upper...it'll be that within a month or so at most. They are generally pretty accurate with their estimated timeframes, with the only exception to that rule being...

    PRS (SLIK) Tripod Issue

    I've run the snot out of my Medium PRS over the years and NEVER experienced anything of the sort. Depending on how old the tripod is, the Slik tripods that Danel uses have (and you'll have to double check with him to see if its even applicable to his units given their end use, etc.) a 3-year...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS PTL - WTF?

    I don't have one in hand for comparison sake, but just from the looks of that one as pictured...I'd almost bet you, regardless of how its marked, that you received the model intended for the "NXS Compact" scopes and NOT the full-size, 15x, 22x, etc. scopes. Get in touch with NF's CS and just...

    LBT Sale

    I don't think LBT could have possibly BURIED that deal any deeper on their site!! ;) Here's a direct link for anyone interested...BLACK ONLY (the OD, etc. are NOT included in the deal, but its still a SMOKING price on one of the finest packs made today): Standard Three Day Assault Pack -...

    keep going or go back ?

    Just when I thought black_ump's legacy was long gone...somebody goes and digs up a 4+ year old thread that he started (I wasn't, however, surprised to see it was a thread about HKs)!! ;) Seriously...WTF is with all of the necro-posts lately (especially with threads that were basically...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Tax day sale - good through 4/15 (midnight)

    There have been quite a few SWFA SS optics on there of late, but they seem to get snagged and then removed VERY quickly. Looks like there are about a half-dozen on there now, but alas, no 3-15x models. See here: SWFA Riflescopes

    Daniel Defense Mk12, worth it?

    Good grief!! Another @#$%ing company whose marketing dept and execs need a swift kick in the nuts for naming something else a "Mk12." HARDLY!! Now, with that said, and despite a less-than-appealing (cough, cough...ridiculous) MSRP of ~$2.2k and some of the fugliest furniture ever made (yes...

    Inappropriate Scope? Leopold VXIII with Boone and Crockett on Ruger SR762

    How is that wrong you say??? Well...to start with...its a Leupold, and let's not forget...IT IS A LEUPOLD!!! ;) Joking aside, provided you obtain the proper mount/rings for it, it'll work just fine on your new large-frame AR. It may not be the most "tactical" of scopes and I suppose that the...

    Harris swivel bipod ?

    +1 on the Pod-Loc!! Its one of those "must-haves" that really make the Harris far better. See here for just one trusted Hide vendor who stocks them: Triad Tactical, Inc. :: Bipods etc. :: Pod-Loc Good luck!

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    That's my "expert" advice (see my previous post in this trainwreck of a thread)! ;) Why have just ONE when you can have BOTH?!?!?! All of the facts/assertions/positions/etc. noted above, there is NOTHING wrong with the M1A within the specific pros/cons/limitations that are just within the...

    Gunsmithing Removing the External JP nut from an AR-15 Vtac rail

    Hmmm...well, there's always an Acetylene torch...that'll get it for SURE!! ;) No idea on what's up. After a thorough heat-gunning/torching to smoke off/break down the loctite AND a long soak in Kroil...it should have spun off for you. This is just one of many reasons that people stay clear of...

    .308 Buffer question

    There are no "one-size-fits-all" buffer/spring combos for ARs. Anytime that you are running the same lower with multiple uppers (especially uppers with different gas system lengths such as in your case...rifle-length on the 24" vs. mid-length on the 16"), you may find it necessary to adjust the...
