    Rifle Scopes SFP Mil Mil Question

    Re: SFP Mil Mil Question The mil mil option is what I'm toying with. I guess the real question is what advantage does a SFP MIL MIL offer over a SFP MIL MOA scope? Those of you with Weavers, do you find yourself dialing your shots easier or do holds easier? Are you wishing for parallel...

    Rifle Scopes SFP Mil Mil Question

    Re: SFP Mil Mil Question It's not a decision I need to make now. I was more concerned about what a SFP Mil Mil scope brought to the table. As I understood it, it would have the same problems that any SFP scope would have with regard to ranging and holds and Willyz pointed that out. I have...

    Thermold mags

    Re: Thermold mags I use the 20 & 30rd mags probably a bit more than my PMags and don't have any problems with the bolt locking open on the last round or dropping free from the mag well. I use the 20 rounders exclusively in my 20" AR for bench and prone. These are the Master Molder ones for...

    Re: SFP Mil Mil Question <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: eclipse57</div><div class="ubbcode-body">You actually cut and pasted the same scope in both links. NBD. If the Weaver that you are looking at is the Weaver tactical 3-10 scope, it is a lot...

    Rifle Scopes SFP Mil Mil Question

    Re: SFP Mil Mil Question I figured that was the deal. I have a Mueller 4.5-14x40 APT (MIL/MOA) scope and was looking at moving to a matching reticle and turret. I didn't see any real benefit with the above scopes once I saw they were SFP other than not having to do any math on the specified...

    Rifle Scopes SFP Mil Mil Question

    In my searches, I can't find an answer to this question so here it goes. I'm aware of the difference between 1st and 2nd focal plane scopes and the benefit of having MOA:MOA and Mil:Mil, so what am I missing with a Mil:Mil 2nd focal plane scope like the Weaver Tactical Grand Slam or Millet LRS...

    My experience with Joe Bob Outfitters

    Re: My experience with Joe Bob Outfitters I ordered a Magpul STR from them when they just hit the market, got it around 10 bucks lower than anyone else plus ordered some Spikes pieces for a build and took advantage of the free shipping. Everything arrived within a week and communication was...

    how often are you guys shooting your 22's?

    Re: how often are you guys shooting your 22's? I shoot once or twice a month currently and usually try to take a different rifle each time, so my M&P15-22 doesn't always make it. That's about to change considering my kids have just started training with it. I'm looking to get a 2nd 22LR now...

    S&W MP15-22

    Re: S&W MP15-22 I've got the MOE version and find my go to ammo are Mini-Mags plus I also use Stingers from time to time. I'll get Federal and Armscor from the range sometimes and they perform pretty well also. The rifle gives you some cheap trigger time and is currently being used as a...

    Which AR-15 Carbine Buffer?

    Re: Which AR-15 Carbine Buffer No problems with my T2 in a 20" build. I bought the T2 as part of Spike's Carbine Buffer Assembly Kit for my build. Between the T2 and a Rainer Arms brake I can watch the holes appear on paper. The brake really made the difference though with regards to keeping...

    Bolt carrier question

    Re: Bolt carrier question Haven't seen a shorter carrier. I know BCG's designed for full auto will have a bit more mass to them but never saw what you're experiencing. Have you shot it in that state or do you have another to swap it with?

    Need help with a A2 Style AR.

    Re: Need help with a A2 Style AR. You plan to use optics? What type if so? You looking to co-witness if going with a red dot or do you want the front sight completely out of the picture? That can help determine if you keep the current front sight and opt for a flip up rear. Some guys chop the...

    PMAG's Opinions on Feeding & Function

    Re: PMAG's Opinions on Feeding & Function I've only used the 30rd Pmags and had no issues with them. I also use the 20rd and 30rd Thermold mags,(American made, not Canadian) and haven't had any issues with them either. I use the 20rd Thermolds in my 20" AR exclusively for prone and bench...

    Firing New gun for first time--Do you do any prep?

    Re: Firing New gun for first time--Do you do any prep? Lube it, if shooting steel ammo, lube it some more and check the barrel, maybe run a snake through it if it's a little dirty. Break it in with some brass first if possible. You'll be able to make sure everything works properly, help parts...

    Newb question

    Re: Newb question Typically yes. Mines vents at 3 and 9 o'clock and with it being a 20" I can't really tell much of difference(always have hearing protection), shorter barrels are supposed to be louder. Someone can correct on me on that. My 16's use standard flash suppressors (A2)so I can't...

    What brake does everyone like best on an ar-15?

    Re: What brake does everyone like best on an ar-15? I'm running a Rainer Arms XTC on my 20" AR, made a big difference. My 20" is a build I just finished so I stuck a standard A2 flash suppressor on it until I figured out what I really wanted. With the Rainer on it, I can actually see the...

    Ak-47 vs. Ar-15 For Only Rifle?

    Re: Ak-47 vs. Ar-15 For Only Rifle? There's so much you can do with an AR, you won't regret it. I have much respect for AK's , even came close to pulling the trigger on one several times, but my love for AR's won out several times over.
