    Ultrasonic cleaners

    I got mine specifically for cleaning my suppressor. It didn't do nearly as well as some have claimed it does for them. Not on heavy carbon, anyway. It's a good parts cleaner though, and got my girlfriends jewelry looking like new. I tried simple green and then the purple simple green. I'd...

    AAC 55gr Sabre Blade velocity?

    That's what I'm saying. Well, it's looking like I'm gonna be able to get out to the 800 yard range tomorrow and I'll be able to confirm my dope. I guess we'll see. According to Strelok, the projectiles moving at that speed has the drops in my ACOG right on. If I have to hold much over the...

    Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

    Good going. For your stated purpose, I think you hit the nail on the head. You can get cr123s pretty cheap online or at a sams club or something. Just keep them on hand. I'd just zero it at 2 or 300 and call it a day. Man, after seeing this thread, I went and looked at the Eotechs again...

    Replacing the barrel on my Medium weight 14.5 inch run and gun upper

    I don't want to assume anything, so I'm going to ask. Do you have much experience shooting groups with the PLXc? I can't shoot groups with a chevron to save my life. What you could try is dialing the elevation down 1 mil or 3 moa or so and use the finer crossbar as an aiming point. See if that...

    AAC 55gr Sabre Blade velocity?

    It's a current lot. I just got a case of it because it was on sale. I just thought it seemed a bit fast for an 11.5 barrel.

    AAC 55gr Sabre Blade velocity?

    I recently threw together an 11.5 to run as a dedicated suppressor host for a YHM Fat Cat. When I ran some PMC m855 over a Garmin chronograph I got ~2750 fps, which is about what I usually get with that ammo out of an 11.5. When I ran the 55gr Sabre Blades over the same Chronograph, I got...

    Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

    If I was going to spend eotech money on a magnifier, the g33 is what I'd go for as well, for all of the same reasons. Trying to get eye relief on a compact magnifier is worse than a 4x acog.

    Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

    There has been lots of mention of the ACOG and as usual, the assumption is that we're talking about the TA31, 4x. Many forget that there are other ACOGs. My preferred is the TA11, 3.5x model. A little heavier, but still lighter than an LPVO; a little bigger, but still smaller than an LPVO; a...

    Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

    Yeah, that's what I meant by you can't leave it on. When you're out using it, it isn't such a big deal because you're invariably going to be making brightness adjustments and resetting the timer. You just can't count on it being ready to go when you grab it. Eh, it's a habit/training issue.

    Best Sub $750 optic for target and varmint - 2025

    For me, there are 4 parts to consider when choosing a scope and what you wind up with will be a compromise. Only you can determine where you're willing to give sacrifice to get more in some other area. I value build quality, image quality, turrets and reticle. There's been lots of talk about...

    Recommend me a muzzle device

    On an 18", unless you're going to go with something big and loud that will hold it absolutely flat, just run an A2. A2s do offer some compensating effect too.

    Silencer Central trying to undermine getting Suppressors of the NFA

    Does it surprise you? Just like the times when ammo got scarce. There were those that did what they could to spread around what they could get and then there were those that quadrupled their prices leaving the ammo to those that could pay. I'm just glad that it can to light. I hope the people...

    Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

    I should have mentioned something about the ACOG stack. Having the red dot that high up kind of sucks for fast successive shots. Like putting 3 on target at beyond 25 yards. The height will mess with your recoil control, unless you practice with it. On the other hand, having the red dot that...

    Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

    Is it going to be more close range or more mid range and how do you define mid range? As far as the Eotech goes, I'd put it out of my mind, unless you have a specific reason for wanting one. If you don't run night vision, it is chunky and heavy with a relatively short battery life for what it...

    Which 18” 5.56 Barrel

    This is from that guy, Preston something or other, right? Yeah, I like the guy's videos, but take his leader board with a grain of salt. Each barrel is a sample size of one. I suspect that if you based the board on the average of ten of each barrel, the results would be different. I've tried a...

    Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

    Yeah, well, the purple stuff is labeled as being safe for metals. I guess you gotta read the small print. When I used it, I diluted with water 3:1. After I cleaned my suppressor, I rinsed it out real good and left it out on my bench while I was doing other things. When I got back to it, I...

    Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

    A word of warning regarding the Simple Green HD (the purple stuff). If you heat it much over 100 degrees, it's becomes unstable and will cause aluminum to corrode, and other weirdness. I ran two cycles on my suppressor and realized that I didn't have the heat on. Turned on the heat and started...

    AR10 headspace

    Although that is the idea, getting a barrel and bolt from a "guy at the range" could be iffy. If you really know the guy and the guy that he had do the headspace, odds are it won't be a problem. Of course, having at least a no go gauge on hand is never a bad idea, as is checking headspace.

    Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

    I just stopped at my local Harbor Freight and picked up the small, $80 model. The only cleaning solution I had was Mister Clean. 3 8 minute cycles removed 5k rounds worth of carbon from the BCG. I should have done this a lot sooner.
