    Night Vision If you cant afford a pvs 14?

    You don't need the whole unit to light up the tube to verify it's in working order and to take pictures. A good joe here or at the other site who is trading up tubes and knows the history and where he got it goes a long way. Never purchase a tube without a 3-5 day inspection period where you can...

    Military Contract MSRP to Civilians

    Here's my insight, as of now, of my former career as a defense procurement dude. Keep in mind the $400 dollar toilet seats and what not, were part of a contract with 100,000 other items on it that were bid with one price. When averaging out all the items by the final price, the cost is naturally...

    Night Vision If you cant afford a pvs 14?

    Other than finding a used one, source the parts yourself and send it to a reputable dealer that will put it together properly. The tube is the most expensive part, but if you look around here and there for one, someone that knows what they have and have taken pics of their tube working, where...

    Rifle Scopes New Bushnell Forge Scopes

    Heres my experiance, had a HDMR gen I rode hard and put up wet after many years of punishment. I noticed last year that my reticle was slightly canted and sent it in to see if they could repair it. Two weeks later they told me they were replacing it with a new HDMRII. That went far and beyond my...

    Manners vs Cadex

    The new Manners has a really slick lop adjustment. Im not sure on this stock but they are also able to add on the Ingenuity rail setup if thats your cup of tea. http://mannersstocks.com/mcs-cs-compact-stock I have one of the first LA JAE's. I like it, its truly high quality and thought out...

    This is what I use, and then confirm with twine and a weight. It's been dead on.

    .260 or 6.5 Creed....Vote AR 10 build

    The science is out their on the CM. Not debating that at all. But it came to my attention recently after a manufacturer submitted a white paper on it to the DOD, during their selection of either .260 or CM. It would seem the straight walls of the case and where the pressure curve is happening is...

    .260 or 6.5 Creed....Vote AR 10 build

    And the 6.5 has greater port erosion over time in gas guns. Pick your poison. As for me, I have both. But tonight my vote is .260 ?

    Night Vision Used Exelis PVs-14

    I've sold several items in the past, and bought of course. Whenever you sell something that is restricted put the disclaimer that it is ITAR restricted and that you will only sell it to someone living in the contiguous 48. and that they need to understand the legalities of it. Nothing wrong with...

    Rifle Scopes Tremor3 a waste?

    Had the Trmor and liked it once I studied it and figured out how to employ it. For pure holds, also consider the Tubb DTR.

    US SOCOM looking into 6.5/260

    Depending on who you talk to, .260 is still being considered amongst several circles for gas guns. The effects of port erosion and which round is more reliable when they erode a bit is the question. And .260, apparently, does better in that regard. I don't know, whatever makes them happy but I'm...

    JP Silent Capture Spring

    I have the heavybuffers XH in it now. Standard DPMS bolt carrier. Combination of the two may be the issue to play with next. =)

    JP Silent Capture Spring

    I'm inclined to agree with the last part. Science and all, with a given load, and correct port size, BCG mass is where it logically should be at. I have an adjustable gas block on my .260 that isn't ever right no matter what I do. Would love nothing more than to put a regular gas block on that...

    Eliseo RTM Tube Gun

    Its been a long time since I looked at Eliseo. They've always been a quality option. It used to be that you'd have to epoxy your receiver into it, but man the new gen stuff they have looks really nice and may not need to be epoxied, nothing mentions it anyhow. But the cost, while out of my...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell HDMR with a TReMoR 3 reticle?

    When I sent my HDMR TRMR in for warranty work, they opted to replace it. I liked the Tremor. So when they called and told me, I asked if they were going to put it in the new gen II because I'd wait. Sadly, they said no plans, and sent me one with an H59. I'm not complaining, because they...

    Night Vision what to do with a Omni VII gen3 tube

    The Armasight CO-LR uses the Mx11769, which is in the -14. CO-LR is a sturdy housing. Might try Armasight to see if they'd do a housing and install?
