    Question for the accurized AR-15 crowd...

    That has not been my experience with BRT. They've always shipped fast. I just checked email from my order in March 2024 - one day from order confirmation to shipment. -Rainman

    Reptilla Mounts?

    I own several, all mounted on ARs. Very happy with the quality. I find these comparable to Geissele (also own several flavors and like them). I like the Reptilia mounting h/w better (low profile/less chance of snagging a fingernail when using the CH) but Geissele frequently runs good sales...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lone Wolf Conversion Barrels for 40 cal Glocks

    Sample of one, I purchased one of these as a Christmas present for a friend... https://www.brownells.com/gun-parts/handgun-parts/handgun-barrels-parts/match-grade-conversion-barrels-for-glock~-22/ He did the barrel swap and nothing else. Gun has been 100% and while he is far from an expert...

    Geissele Quality Control: A Lack Thereof

    I have to agree with this. I have a relatively new (this year) SD16 upper receiver group that's accurate, soft-shooting, and (so far; relatively low round count) reliable. Pappasniper has posted similar satisfaction with his SD16 rifle. I first read of this issue on another forum, and reports...

    Geissele Quality Control: A Lack Thereof

    Very timely, and I sent a link to this thread to my friend who sent me the following email this past Tuesday concerning the first outing for the Super Duty 11.5 pistol that he recently received... Spent 3 hrs. at the range today with the Geissele Pistol. I was unimpressed enough to plan a call...

    First Rifle Input

    Lots of good choices have been offered. Geissele is NOT over-gassed per this recent SH thread... https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/geissele-got-me-on-their-new-years-sale.7107023/ I purchased a Super Duty 16" URG from the same sale as the above thread's OP and shot last weekend...

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    Many thanks for that info. I'm quite familiar with "cannot be utilized on max intensity". I shot my ATACR about a week ago, on an extremely bright/sunny day, back-to-back with another AR that has an Aimpoint T2. I wasn't able to shoot the T2 at maximum brightness; I don't believe I've ever...
