    Mounting bipod to keymod?

    I have two AR10's with 15" Aero keymod rails on standard Aero M5 (not enhanced) uppers: a 23" 6.5CM with a ~1" heavy profile barrel and an 18" .308 standard profile, and neither show much, if any movement on Atlas bipods. I think it will depend on how sturdy the rail is and how it locks up to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Educate me on the 10mm...

    I had the same idea at first as well. When going that route it's much cheaper to have the G20 first, then get a G21 upper for it. G20 uppers are much fewer than the G21's. I do like the idea of the P220 Hunter in 10mm. I'm not really a fan of Kryptek, but it actually looks really good to me. Dave

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Educate me on the 10mm...

    If you're considering a G20 and then getting an extended 6" barrel, look at a G40. It comes factory with a 6" barrel and slide, an adjustable rear sight, and it's part of the MOS line, so a red dot install is just five minutes and two screws away. I have all three of Glocks 10mm offerings, and...

    Suppressors Now is the best time in a long time to buy a Silencer.

    The problem I see for post 41f stuff is that now there is additional paperwork for them to process per form 4 for a trust. There are now the fingerprint cards and photos for each person on the trust, and each questionnaire to check for mistakes, in addition to the normal paperwork. New processes...

    I would like to build from this combo set....thoughts

    A Rainier set is ~10 bucks more, CMT is ~60 bucks less, MEGA is, what ~100 bucks more. If you're on that tight of a budget look at the Aero sets. Going with that set also means you're stuck using only their uppers, no other DPMS pattern uppers will work with that receiver cut. Dave

    Any you Tacticool Sumbitches have a bumpfire stock?

    Never owned or used one, with no interest to. If I want to sling rounds willy-nilly downrange, I'll hand my AR to my BIL, lol. This, and it's not like they could have made it any uglier of a stock. Always plenty of used ones for sale on Armslist after the novelty wears off!

    Something New in the AR world???

    The bolded is my thought as well, in which case, pop two pins and I'm just as ready. Maybe more so, because I won't be trying to fumble around with a latch on my 7.5" AR pistol, it can go in a backpack fully assembled. Dave

    Something New in the AR world???

    Nah SA is supposed to introduce some new pistol at the NRA meetings, there wasn't enough time for Saint 2.0 hype to be properly built up, lol. I'm not one to get excited over hype much anymore, but then again, I'm not usually one to get excited anyways! Dave

    Pick a 6,5 Creedmoor Barrel for my M5E1

    I have a 23" Krieger in my M5 that SAC was kind enough to spin up for me, because they had it kicking around.

    Rifle Scopes IOR scope owners? Please chime in.

    Thanks for the info guys, I saw a lot of Lowlight's posts about IOR's on Scout, so I wasn't counting on it being anything great. I didn't pay any additional money over the value of the gun for the scope to come with it, so I won't be at any loss if I unload it. I definitely will look to swap it...

    Rifle Scopes IOR scope owners? Please chime in.

    Sorry to hijack, but does anyone have information on the IOR 6-24x56 MOA? Long story short: I bought a custom rifle from a guy selling his custom gun collection, and the IOR came with the rifle. Everything seems to work and the glass seems pretty decent, but I can't find hardly any information...

    Budget .223 bolt rig for youths? (PRS)

    I saw the other day that Howa offers their 1500 Mini in a youth stock. You could swap out the stock for an MDT LSS chassis if you wanted something better than a plastic stock. That is my plan, though I will be going with a 6.5 Grendel.

    The Fix from Q

    An excellent point. However, on the other hand, that also means that with the limited amount of time they have to respond, they should be as clear and concise as possible. If an answer cannot be given, say that. Asking for the full amount up front is no problem in my eyes. Please correct me if...

    6.5CM AR10-High pressure Bolt?

    I'd also suggest the JP or RCA, I run the RCA BCG personally.
