    FN FNAR .308 fluted 20"

    Re: FN FNAR .308 fluted 20" My next door neighbor and shooting buddy has one - it is a VERY sweet shooter - although esthetically I think it's kind of been hit with an ugly stick. All things considered though, I own an SPR and he likes shooting it more than I do - as in I almost have to arm...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns New Steel

    Re: New Steel That is one hefty looking chunk of metal on the front end. Full tang?

    Obsession/disorder?

    Re: Obsession/disorder? Well, at first read I'd say I was in this category, but on thinking about it - nope. I buy firearms and they all get used. I don't mind scratches on them - as they are proof marks that I've almost mastered them (the almost part gets me up off my lazy butt and to the...

    semi auto vs bolt action

    Re: semi auto vs bolt action I'm not sure I would be looking at .308 or 300 if you've developed a flinch. I own a couple of firearms (FN Herstal, 3 AR15's of various calibers and configurations)so I'm no great expert. The AR platform has a couple of different options such as muzzle break...

    Done with Midway

    Re: Done with Midway I've ordered numerous items from Midway, but my only complaint is shipping costs. I have dozens and dozens of sites that I'll shop on, and compare prices/shipping before I'll commit. Sometimes I like going with outfits like joeboboutfitters or ar15 surplus or some other...

    Adjustable Gas Blocks

    Re: Adjustable Gas Blocks Or you can use loctite, maybe the blue or green variety if you're not switching back and forth often. My state recently passed laws that allowed owners of suppressors to actually use them (the socialist state of Washington) I've spent thousands this past year on...

    Do I have to clean and how.

    Re: Do I have to clean and how. I only lightly lube my barrel after a range session (typically I'll punch it out thee and shoot some foulers before I put mine away). When my accuracy drops off `400 rounds maybe more, I'll run some KG12 to remove some of the copper fouling. My bolt and...

    I'm officially on the dark side

    Re: I'm officially on the dark side Hiya Don, at 50, I'm now experiencing issues I've never had to deal with before too. Where i used to regularly hit the center of a target at 500 yards with open sights - LOL, I can't even see that far anymore. Couple that with a mortar round going off about...

    Time for the HK 416?

    Re: Time for the HK 416? I don't even know where to start with this....awful lack of professionalism. Weapons handling, trigger "pull", lack of a helmet, no chest rig (so he's not mibile, possibly Fobbit). PMAGS are not "the" solution and are not available to most line units. Keeping good...

    Finally finished my build!

    Re: Finally finished my build! Very nice looking boom stick, clean lines - range report when you can.

    I'm officially on the dark side

    Re: I'm officially on the dark side I don't run a bipod on my 5.56, it does have a Tango Down on it. My 6.8 though has a bipod and a Magpul AFG. I take off the bipod when the opportunity to offhand presents itself - I love the AFG as it just fits better, and I hook a thumb over the 9 o'clock...

    Young Ranger Lookin for Help

    Re: Young Ranger Lookin for Help There are so many things that go with this: Do you live in the barracks, what would your deployments be like (as in no notice ones, etc)? These are probably more important than a need to have something to look forward to after the challenge of Ranger school -...

    GA Precision GAP-10

    Re: GA Precision GAP-10 After assimilating far too much gun porn tonight, and after having read every post on this thread - I'm now hopelessly enamored with the idea that my next purchase will most likely be a GAP 10 in .308. Crap - I hate gun running even small ....."improvements" past the...

    AR15 Scope ring ?

    Re: AR15 Scope ring ? Heck -one piece mounts abound. Weaver makes the SPR which is pretty good, Burris makes the PEPR, and there are more out there!

    MA-Ten Multicam Krylon *pic heavy*

    Re: MA-Ten Multicam Krylon *pic heavy* That is one impressive looking job - careful, you might make some of them who do provide the service a bit challenged. I know you said you used a lot of poly - what's the durability like? I'd hate to think after all those hours that you'd want this to...

    I pulled a stupid stunt today

    Re: I pulled a stupid stunt today The phrase - "There but for the grace of God go I". I will be the first in line to say that I've done some incredibly stupid things and that somehow I was not ever seriously injured. I remember purposefully setting off 12ga shotgun primers when i was 7 or 8 -...

    I'm officially on the dark side

    Re: I'm officially on the dark side Don what's your intended purpose for this firearm? I run a single point on my 5.56, but on my favored AR15 in 6.8, its a VTAC Mk2 quick adjust 2 point. The latter in my opinion is mor versatile as it allows me to carry my rifle slung comfortably in more...
