    Every Democrat supports Transvestiites over women....

    Demorat commies live in a weird delusional state. Hard to understand if you don't understand propaganda and sophisticated psychological brainwashing/messaging. And since so many of the left are really NOT bright they will do anything to align themselves with the "educated class" in order to...

    Mega Billet Upper Handguard Compatibility?

    OP, if you could find one of these Mega Arms AR-15 MML upper receiver/handguards THAT WOULD BE A SCORE! I have one of these around somewhere with a 16" barrel and they are solid. Closest thing to a monolithic upper ever made. The rail bolts to the receiver, not the barrel nut, uses special...

    The AR15 Picture Thread

    Some of my newer ARs and MCX rifles. I do love the Geissele Super Duty rifles (the ATACR is a bit of overkill for me, but looks cool) The MCX in 11.5" is completely awesome. Unity works well with T2 and Cheapo Aimpoint P magnifier. Also, using Unity T2 mount as a rear sight and SCALAR WORKS...

    The AR15 Picture Thread

    Recent ARs and stuff, just for fun. 5x magnifier on Rattler is meant to be amusing.

    Optics for Home Defense and Range

    I forgot to mention that Geissele is close to releasing a 10" 300 blackout upper. 300 blackout is nice if you intend to suppress it, otherwise a less expensive to shoot 5.56 is the way to go for home defense IMHO. 8.6 is silly at this point, even if suppressed, sorry. Unless you can just...

    Optics for Home Defense and Range

    But is it the best weapon? Also, shooting someone with 00 buck pretty much says you intend to kill. Sign of the times. Check your local listings for what a court/DA might do...

    Why? Old FUD

    Optics for Home Defense and Range

    How big is your back yard? I consider home defense on my property, which is not very big compared to many here. 3 acres, so I'm covered with an 11.5" 5.56, but magnification is nice for identification. So 3X and a good light.. But the nice thing about a LPVO is that it is by definition...

    Optics for Home Defense and Range

    So you know I'm not pulling your collective legs, I am including a picture of some recent builds with optics I am enjoying. Note, that I have not put these through hard use, but I feel very confident in these optics setups. Top, MCX with T2 on Unity mount and Scalar Works front iron. Aimpoint...

    Optics for Home Defense and Range

    Sorry, it sometimes takes me a long time to get back to the forum replies. It really depends on your use case. Frankly, anything inside 3-400 yards can be done with a RDS and magnifier, but it's not comfortable after about 100 yards. Inside 100 yards the RDS is king. Simple LPVO will do...

    Optics for Home Defense and Range

    I've bought and cried several times recently. T2 still the best for ruggedness, and battery life. On one rifle I have it in a Unity Fast mount. Cool to have your back up rear iron built into the mount. Makes it easy to put the Unity magnifier mount (excellent) behind it. I went with the...

    Third bolt release on AR-15

    This is a sad commentary on inflation and the value of the dollar. Using stainless fender washers will probably cost you more than using quarters.

    Third bolt release on AR-15

    How about getting parts that are in spec?

    Third bolt release on AR-15

    Truth is, the bolt catch shouldn't break no matter how much you pay for a parts kit. Something might be putrid in Denmark if a lower keeps having a broken catch. Get the Forward controls latch and keep us posted. I only buy high end Geissele parts kits with Maritime latches any more, because...
