    NextBolt NX5 Biometric

    Re: NextBolt NX5 Biometric I worked at a place that had those locks on the broom closet. After much use, the number 4&5 buttons wouldn't pop back out after you depressed them. We called a lock smith who opened it in about 10 seconds with a bump key. A real secure solution would be an HID...

    Stepping into the M1A world

    Re: Stepping into the M1A world I understand your passion for the M1A. It's an amazing platform and I love mine. From the ones owned by my father and myself, most of which have seen competition at Camp Perry, I can tell a difference between the standard and the National Match models. I find...

    Carbine Grips Change Reccomendation

    Re: Carbine Grips Change Reccomendation You could always fatten up your current grip and make it custom to you, with a Rat Grip. http://snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3164245

    Rifle Scopes Would you trust it?

    Re: Would you trust it? My W.O.T. (website security thingy) rates as "Poor" for 'vendor reliability' and "Poor" for overall 'trustworthiness'. The W.O.T. hasn't let me down yet.

    Rifle Scopes WTB Aimpoint R1

    Re: WTB Aimpoint R1 I could be wrong, but I think you're supposed to post want-to-buys (WTB) here: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=24&page=1

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Streamlight TLR-1 Switch Question

    Re: Streamlight TLR-1 Switch Question I tried to call Streamlight today. I got a message saying that they're closed for the "easter break", whatever that is. I was really more wondering if my light is actually broken, or if I'm just not operating it correctly. I know I need to call them if...

    Armalite AR 10 decisions

    Re: Armalite AR 10 decisions At the risk of showing what an idiot I am... Since when does an armalite not take PMAGS?? Are you serious? I just bought an AR-10 and I bought PMAGs for it, just assuming they fit!! I'm not trying to thread-jack you, I'm just immensely curious now that you said that.

    Mcree Arrived

    Re: Mcree Arrived Nice looking rig! Welcome to the McRee club! Did you get any goodies to go with it? Like the NV mount, rear bag bar, or changeable forends? Looks like you have the newest one, with the rounded edges on the forend. Gen IV, I think. Either way, I'm jealous!

    Which rifle for competition

    Re: Which rifle for competition I'm going to agree with the consensus here. Start training with the lighter weapon and work up a good load for it. Personally, I know the weight would make more of a difference to me than the 1/2MOA of accuracy difference. In the tactical-style matches that...

    Question

    Re: Question You can sell it just fine. It's not like it's any type of weapon that would be subject to BATFE regulations. Like was said above, it's just some metal work. If you're REALLY concerned, you could write up a bill of sale that lists the item as "scrap metal" and make it very clear...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns COLT 1878 DA Frontier

    Re: COLT 1878 DA Frontier On second thought, I believe the book was one of those "Blue Book of Gun Values" from Blue Book Publications. See if the library by you has a recent copy. https://store.bluebookinc.com/Firearms/Default.aspx

    Sidearms & Scatterguns COLT 1878 DA Frontier

    Re: COLT 1878 DA Frontier Sounds like a rip-off to me. If one that fires is worth 6,000, why would yours be worth so little? While I understand that an operating piece is worth more than one that doesn't operate, collectors don't typically buy them to fire them. So it shouldn't make THAT...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Streamlight TLR-1 Switch Question

    Re: Streamlight TLR-1 Switch Question In hind sight, this may have made more sense in the "Equipment" category. I thought it belonged here, because it's a light for a side-arm, but that may have been incorrect...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Streamlight TLR-1 Switch Question

    So I just bought a streamlight TLR-1. I got a great deal on it because the box was "Damaged". Here's a pic of the box damage, for your amusement: Anyway, I figured out how to put the batteries in. It made me feel like less of a man because it took genuine effort, but I got it to work anyway...

    Hard double case??

    Re: Hard double case?? Depends on which Pelican you're talking about. They make them in all different sizes. Some are giant cabinets, some are tiny camera cases... The 1740 will hold two 700s vertically. As long at the optics aren't mounted too high and the overall length isn't over 40...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint, EoTech, or Acog

    Re: Aimpoint, EoTech, or Acog I just feel like the ACOG would be the equivalent of taking a tritium sight off your pistol, sticking it in a dark tube, and trying to target with it. It seems like that tritium would disappear on the target, and/or it wouldn't stand out against the illumination...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Whats's accurate. Please show your groups

    Re: Whats's accurate. Please show your groups Weapon of choice was a Smith and Wesson 686 revolver. Target was 10 yards away, I shot off the bench using only my hands as a rest. Adjustable open sights that were installed by S&W when they redid the trigger. I fired handloads, loaded by...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint, EoTech, or Acog

    Re: Aimpoint, EoTech, or Acog I don't know where this would rank on your list of priorities, SCAR 123, but I wonder how each optic would perform in low-light/dark scenarios? The concern being that ACOG says it's illuminated by tritium, whereas the other two are lit up by batteries. Do you...
