    Eotech Or Acog?

    Re: Eotech Or Acog? For a rifle set up only for close range, i.e., contact distance to no more than 300m, I would go with the EOTECH because it would be faster for close quarters, is parallax free, and has unlimited eye relief. For an all-around battle rifle to be used from any range, from...

    ak 47

    Re: ak 47 Come on, the guy asked for the best one on the market... don't tell him a WASR. Yeah I have one, and it works great, but it is far from the best AK on the market. Whether it is the best VALUE might be debateable, but others are much higher quality and you can expect better...

    MA-ten Build Question

    Re: MA-ten Build Question I would like to do one of these builds soon. My plan is to build it battle rifle style with a light profile 20" chrome lined barrel, and probably an Vltor E-mod stock. I am hoping that with this setup it won't weigh any more than a comparably set up battle rifle...

    M1A/M14/EBR Rifle discussion W/O DRAMA.

    Re: M1A/M14/EBR Rifle discussion W/O DRAMA. Well, Alamo Tactical called and said that my Vltor Modstock is getting mailed out today... I should have a detailed range report (as well as an accurate weight figure) soon.

    Is The FNH SCAR 17 Worth It?

    Re: Is The FNH SCAR 17 Worth It? I like a lot of things about the rifle... light weight, chrome lined barrel, piston operation, side reciprocating charging handle, ergonomics, and the reported accuracy... but I do not like the short sight radius, and how the handguards are quad rail rather...

    7.62x51 build

    Re: 7.62x51 build Going from 18" to 16" won't make the rifle less accurate, but it will decrease the muzzle velocity, and therefore the max effective range. It will also mean you will have larger come-ups when adjusting for different ranges, and wind will have more of an impact. All of...

    Service rifle competition suggestions

    Re: Service rifle competition suggestions I figured since they made the .308 AR legal for service rifle, you would start seeing a lot of guys going with that setup because of the better wind resistance with .308s. I guess it hasn't really turned out that way. Maybe it has to do with the...

    M1A or AR

    Re: M1A or AR Yes, M-14s will tend to be more reliable than ARs, especially under adverse conditions. One thing I have noticed is that when they do malfunction, they are easier to clear than an AR. They also unquestionably have better iron sights... great sight radius, and with nice 1 MOA...

    Bushmaster ORC 308. Any good??

    Re: Bushmaster ORC 308. Any good?? Hmm, for that price I'd think about one if they made one with a 20" or longer barrel. I like how it is available with a chrome lined barrel/chamber, unlike DPMS and Rock River. However, I do not like how it doesn't even come with a railed gas block...

    M1A Parts

    Re: M1A Parts The CMP sells GI M-14 parts kits for $600 if you are qualified to buy from them, which includes everything except for the receiver, bolt, and barrel, which you already have. That would probably be cheaper than sourcing all the parts from the vendors you're looking at. If you...

    14.5 vs 16 inch barrels

    Re: 14.5 vs 16 inch barrels Considering how the U.S. Army units that Appleseed trained were able to get pretty consistent hits out to 600m with their 14.5" barreled rifles, I'd say you have nothing to worry about. The wind will play a little more hell with your shooting with the reduced...

    DPMS LR-308

    Re: DPMS LR-308 I like iron sights and a factory trigger for that range. But if I use a scope, I prefer a lower-powered one, like around 4x for that range (for field of view and less perceived "wobble"), and I really prefer a military 2-stage trigger, set right around 5-6 pounds, for field...

    sling for a fal

    Re: sling for a fal Just get a GI web sling for an M1/M-14. You can get them for $15 or less, and you can use them as a marksmanship aid in the hasty or loop configurations as well as for carrying the rifle. It's a great inexpensive sling for a battle rifle. I have an extra front clip on...

    Best AR-15 front sight post adjustment tool?

    Re: Best AR-15 front sight post adjustment tool? You should always have a bullet with the rifle, so that is usually the handiest, but it only works with a FMJ. I also almost always have a ball point pen on me, so that works well, too. That is probably what I use most often actually...

    Best muzzle device for ar-10

    Re: Best muzzle device for ar-10 For follow up shots, you can't beat a suppressor. The target doesn't notice if your first shot is a miss, which gives you plenty of time for a follow-up!
