    Rifle Scopes Cheap red dot for M1 Carbine- please recommend

    Re: Cheap red dot for M1 Carbine- please recommend Vortex SPARC, street price $200. Got one angle mounted on my LWRC M6A3 and turn it on every range visit since May to test battery life. It has auto turn off after 6 hours, unlike Aimpoint which can always stay on. Battery has not run dead...

    Your Input on Lake City's M855 SS109 ammo

    Re: Your Input on Lake City's M855 SS109 ammo Not knowing your twist rate, length, and distance - I'll share my experience. I used this round 2 days ago testing commercial loads on my LWRC 14.7" 5.56 (twist 1:7). Out of 5 loads, it had the worst grouping - up to 8 MOA during a 4-group test...

    Bullet travel for SBR

    Re: Bullet travel for SBR LWRC's reliability is related to two things: coating and piston design. The NiCorr coating covers all contact surfaces. The advanced combat bolt has just been updated to the newer material. All these moving parts traditionally required a lot of lubrication. Build up...

    still trying to find a good piston 223 - advice ??

    Re: still trying to find a good piston 223 - advice ?? New LWRC M6A1 upper was on sale direct from factory for $1195. Spikes lower $225. I made one for a friend and it's a great piston AR15/M4 style rifle. LWRC is not the only great piston, but it's what I picked. Research what you really...

    Rifle Scopes Can't even get 200yd zero with SS 16x

    Re: Can't even get 200yd zero with SS 16x If it makes you feel less stupid, I'll share my last range story. I excitedly took my new SS 10X to sight in at 100 yds, on a Larue LT-111 mount. I became very frustrated trying to get on paper, and seeing splash marks on the Shoot and C targets. By...

    Rifle Scopes .223 holes at 500yrds

    Re: .223 holes at 500yrds I am in the market for a good spotting scope and bought the Konus 20-60x100. The reviews on Optics Planet and others are awesome for both 20-60x80 and 20-60x100. One reviewer claims he sees 0.22 cal out to 400, and .30 caliber out to 600. There is several on this...

    Rifle Scopes super sniper 10x

    Re: super sniper 10x I bought the SS 10X from SWFA for $350 on the Sample list recently. They have two versions of the "older" design: 1) rear focus, and 2) side focus knob. The rear version is $299 new, and side $399 new. Typically, when it goes on their Sample List - it's $50 off. So...

    AR Phobias from a Bolt Action Guy

    Re: AR Phobias from a Bolt Action Guy Never thought of it that way. But if saving brass is your concern, my LWRC M6A3 gas knob can be turned to "C" for closed. It thus cycles manually like a bolt action.

    LWRC M6A1 5.56 16" scope suggestions?

    My friend (ret. Marines 1991) has a LWRC M6A1 16" 5.56 rifle. Like a good student, he shot it for 3 months with BUIS and is very comfortable with it. Now, he is ready to shop for a nice scope and/or red dot. We use the local range - and usually shoot 100 yds, occasionally 200, and will...

    LaRue OBR light

    Re: LaRue OBR light Another here with OBR 762 and love it. Great build quality, and simple to shoot accurately. The connection between rails and upper is anterior-posterior as opposed to lateral like most designs. It's supposed to reduce torque thereby increasing accuracy. Not just marketing...

    Which piston, LWRCI, POF, Sig556, FN 16S, ACR, LMT

    Re: Which piston, LWRCI, POF, Sig556, FN 16S, ACR, LMT I have LWRC M6A3 5.56 and it's a great gun. Coating is NiCorr which makes it impervious to elements and wear, increases lubricity. No failures after 600 rounds, but others have reported 5 to 10k without cleaning which makes it a great...

    Larue Has Earned My Business

    Re: Larue Has Earned My Business When I ordered an OBR from Larue, Alfred gave me a list of freebies that he was going to "throw in". He included the grey Magpul furniture (grip/stock/clips). Two months later, and prior to the rifle being shipped - another rep stated that LT had been taking...

    Rifle Scopes Larue Tactical scope rings/mounts

    After reading this forum, the Seekins, Badger, Nightforce et. al rings get high marks. Although the Larue Tactical mounts are great for red dots on AR15 style rifles, their scope rings/mounts do not get much play here. Does anyone have experience/opinions about their products for mounting high...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Customer Service

    Re: SWFA Customer Service In a large company, sometimes there's a disconnect between the website IT manager, marketing, and sales department. Sounds like they need to update software to better track inventory, instead of notifying customers after the fact. It should not be a difficult problem...
