Are there any AR 15’s made that you can count on shooting half MOA
Although this is an old thread, glad to see it resurrected. Some really great (and honest) posts. I have a bunch of AR's and have been shooting them for close to 20 years. Although I don't shoot a ton from the bench anymore, when I do I am always reminded how hard it is. To me it really...- houndog

Trijicon Credo and Trijicon Tenmile
Thanks for the write up Ocean_Dweller. Ended up pulling the trigger on a Credo 4-16x for $620. Going to replace a really cheap Nikon I've had on an AR10 for years. Haven't gotten it mounted yet (the LaRue mount I'm going to put it on has 34mm rings, so I've just bought 30mm inserts to make it...- houndog

Trijicon Credo and Trijicon Tenmile
Looking for a new scope for an AR10. Something with 3-4x at the low end and 15-20x at the high end. Not going to be shooting much beyond 600 yards (which is all I have regular access to), and mostly at steel plates, so 15x should get me there at the high end. And I don't need a ton of...- houndog

Suppressors ***NEW*** Dead Air Nomad-LT vs. Sandman-S on 14.5" 5.56 NATO.
Well, the e=brake attaches before the end cap, so the gas isn't "out the end of the suppressor" when it passes through the e-brake. And surely some gas escapes from the holes of the e-brake. Presumably, that's gas that would other wise blow back into the chamber. All I know is that it seems...- houndog

Suppressors ***NEW*** Dead Air Nomad-LT vs. Sandman-S on 14.5" 5.56 NATO.
Maybe I can help a little, as I added an E-brake to my Dead Air Sandman S. I haven't really paid attention to what effect it has on sound signature. For me the benefits are that it seems to make recoil super flat. Staying on target for follow up shots is ridiculously easy. And it also seems...- houndog

Rear bag recommendations
Another vote for Precision Underground - although I will say that after heavy use I am starting to have fill material leak out of one of the corners. Not a lot - maybe 5-6 beads a session. I suppose the easy fix is to just duct tape it.- houndog

Thinking about buying a suppressor...have questions
That's actually a good point Cordova. I have a DD upper (which I really like) that I purchased from Brownells for a pretty good price. One of the things I liked is that it didn't come with a FH, bolt carrier group or charging handle. Enabled me to put on a Dead Air muzzle brake, use one of...- houndog

Thinking about buying a suppressor...have questions
For me the difference between suppressed and unsuppressed is being able to just put plugs in my ears vs. plugs and then muffs over them. It's nice not to feel like I'm completely deaf to any noise surrounding me. (Yes, I suppose it would be cheaper to just buy electronic muffs/earpro). Plus...- houndog

Thinking about buying a suppressor...have questions
One other piece of advice - which other posters have made reference to, as someone new to suppressors probably makes sense to get it from the Silencer Shop, Hansohn Brothers or some other seller that specializes in suppressors. The paperwork, fingerprinting, etc, can be a real PITA and they...- houndog

Thinking about buying a suppressor...have questions
First, congratulations on your DD rifle. I own a couple of DD uppers and they are top notch. Can't tell you anything about their suppressors though. As to what suppressor to get, here are a couple of things you need to think about: 1. Budget - On the low end you can probably find something...- houndog

Need help deciding on first rifle
As you can see from some of the other answers you've been getting, there are a ton of different ways you can go on this, all of which have their own respective plusses and minuses. Getting an AR15 rather than an AR10 is definitely worth considering. The gun will be cheaper. Ammo will be a...- houndog

Thank you for your comprehensive explanation. It's not unusual for discussions in these forums to end up in a p*ss*ng contest where each person defends their advice/choice and that end up generating more heat than light. I feel like I genuinely learned something today. And it does make sense...- houndog

Suppressors Help me decide next can
So, I'm curious, E. Bryant, do those results hold up when sound is not measured from the shooter's perspective, but the perspective of someone who is sitting three feet to the left or right of the shooter? For some that may not be a consideration, if you're generally shooting alone, but could...- houndog

Suppressors Help me decide next can
Don't have any experience with the YHM cans, although based on what I've read they seem to be a solid budget alternative. However, with two cans come two tax stamps, so that's an extra $200. And if you add a Keymo FH or muzzle brake to your existing rifles, switching between rifles is a snap...- houndog

Jm - the good news is you really can't make a bad choice. I own a Sandman S and a Nomad TI, both fantastic cans, but with very different uses. I would say the Nomad Ti is slightly quieter ... and of course ridiculously light. But it goes on a couple of bolt guns, and one precision AR with a...- houndog

www.ammoseek.com is your friend. I used to buy from targetsportusa.com a lot and was even a Prime member.

New here, Seeking Advice/Build for AR-15 5.56
Rutgers, sorry I hurt your feelings - but your original post was off the mark. You bash DD with no real explanation. You claim OP can't buy a Geissele upper for less than $1,300, but he can get a 16" upper for $850 (albeit not Super Duty). Hell, during their Memorial Day sale you could buy a...- houndog

New here, Seeking Advice/Build for AR-15 5.56
As others have said, you really have a ton of choices. LaRue UU for $750 would be a solid choice and give you a lot of value. (I have owned a couple of LaRue uppers and they were all very accurate.) Given your budget, that will leave you $5-600 for a complete lower, or to build your own...- houndog

Molon has tested this ammo (MEN) and was getting 10 shot groups that averaged approximately 1.3 MOA. I...- houndog
