    Shooting from an elevated position

    It depends. What are you shooting? How accurate do you need to be? A good way to learn this concept is to archery hunt out of tree stands because you have to worry about trajectory on every shot. For 308, I think the rule of thumb is 15 degrees and 400 yds. Some people calculate it out on long...

    GAP -10 Failure to Feed/Eject

    I have been in your shoes man. I know its frustrating. So the bolt doesnt lock back. Can you lock it back by using your charging handle without firing a round? If not then you might have the wrong buffer, spring, or buffer tube or a bad combination of them. The buffer may be too long or...

    DPMS Repr jamming issues

    Regarding the small strike on the primer. As others stated this is normal and I also get that on my AR10. I release the BCG. The BCG slams forward on a unfired round. Then instead of shooting that round, I pull out that unfired round and I have a light tap on the primer. It has never fired a...

    GAP -10 Failure to Feed/Eject

    I had similar issues with my high end AR10. It worked perfect only after about 200 rds and lubing the hell out of it. They just come from the factory too tight and need a break in or wear down some of the surfaces and edges that are too tight. And lubricating by taking apart the entire BCG and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Light or no light

    I recently took Roger Philips 4 day FOF night handgun class. Its a deadly skill set. If an encounter is going to happen to me, then now I want it to happen at night. Darkness is my friend. A push button handheld is the way to go. We were taught a cool technique for mag changes with a surefire in...

    Rifle Scopes USO internal bubble level

    Have you seen what it looks like? I have a SN3 3-17 35mm tube. It looks just like this example. I can barely see the bubble but it works. I dont have to move my face from the stock. My friend has a different USO model that is a smaller tube and had a bubble level installed and he cant see it.

    Rifle Scopes Will USO Survive???

    After a couple years of hard use in training classes, matches, and practicing with my USO, the illumination started shorting out every other shot 3 weeks before a match. It was annoying because it would turn on and off every recoil. USO said they could get it back to me in time for me to zero it...
