    Something for AR discussions....

    Re: Something for AR discussions.... AK Sgt Maj, I would like to pick your brain regarding some of your knowledge/experience. I have an AR-10 that I like because it gives me speed and distance. I just recently put a Tubb spring in it that appears to have helped tighten the pattern, but am...

    Re: Something for AR discussions.... I do not know anyone that has tried that, but it does sound interesting. Let us know the results. Even the dyed in the wool bolt gun guys ought to appreciate the increased capacity of a 25 round mag (not putting down bolt guns; I consider guns to be like...

    Buffer spring effect on accuracy???

    Re: Buffer spring effect on accuracy??? I understand that theory, but usually you have the gun against a solid object (your shoulder). Usually, you do not take on ocular to the forehead. What then?

    Target Cams

    Re: Target Cams I am looking more in terms of traditional audio/video signal transmission than Wifi, i.e., video camera on one end and monitor on the other with a wireless connection.

    Target Cams Read the rules: 4. Do not post the same topic in more than one forum. Pick the most relevant forum for your post. If you are unsure, put it in the Bear Pit, say you were not sure where it belonged, and someone will move it to the proper forum for you.

    Target Cams

    I am looking for plans to build an <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">affordable</span></span> wireless target cam system with a range of 1 1/2 to 2 miles. Has anyone made one, have plans for one or know where I could find plans for one? There are retail...

    Buffer spring effect on accuracy???

    Re: Buffer spring effect on accuracy??? Hamilton, I have been advised that my test is scientifically insufficient, inconclusive and that my opinions are premature at best and probably without basis. That being said, don't spend $30 on my account. I do not want anyone to spend unnecessary...

    Re: Something for AR discussions.... Pupdawg, Thanks for moving the string over. I have learned a lot from everyone's input in this discussion. The videos and links were very helpful. Thanks to everyone who took the time to contribute to what has been a helpful learning experience for me.

    Something for AR discussions....

    Re: Something for AR discussions.... Battleaxe, Since I am so hard to take seriously, buy a $30 spring, put it in your favorite gun and test it yourself anyway you see fit. Report back to us with your data and results. Don't just sit on the sidelines and criticize. That is too easy. I...

    Something for AR discussions....

    Re: Something for AR discussions.... I never said it was the spring's fault. I just said the pattern is tighter with one than the other. I did provide the data, albeight in multiple posts (the best I did with the Armalite was 5/8 moa at 100 yards, I did 1/2 moa at 100 yards with the Tubb)...

    Something for AR discussions....

    Re: Something for AR discussions.... No offense taken. What I did not tell you was that I always check my zero at 100 yards prior to and subsequent to the long range shooting that takes place in between. I never miss at 100 yards, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span...

    Something for AR discussions....

    Re: Something for AR discussions.... Based on your explanations and the video, I do not understand how shooting using the Tubb spring is more accurate than using the stock spring. I know from testing it that it does. I also know it changes the zero on my gun by 2 inches at 100 yards. That...

    Buffer spring effect on accuracy???

    Re: Buffer spring effect on accuracy??? Pupdawg and Jeepocabra, To tell you the truth, I was paying so much attention to trying to keep everything consistent between the test of the 2 springs that I did not notice. As I think about it now, it did seem like the gun did not jump off target...

    Buffer spring effect on accuracy???

    Re: Buffer spring effect on accuracy??? I completed the test today. It was a great day for shooting. Sunny, dry and very little wind. I have attached pictures of the 2 springs beside each other (Armalite and Tubb). The Tubb is approximately 1/3 longer than the stock Armalite...
