    What is the state of LMT MWS-H complete uppers these days?

    Yep, the 6.8SPC seems to work best for me with FMJ rounds out to 200 yards so I get deeper penetration to reach vital organs or potentially break a bone. I shoot feral hogs over pasture so, they aren't monsters with most weighing in the 100lb range and a big sow or boar might be a touch over a...

    SR25 Upper Compatibility

    Is this an AR-15 product? All Troy shows are AR-15 uppers. I assume it is an AR-10 upper so, I'm curious where you found it.

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon ACOG/VCOG cantilever mount questions

    I am curious if the Unity Tactical "Fast COG" heads-up mount would work. Thoughts?

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon ACOG/VCOG cantilever mount questions

    I am running a Trijicon thermal IR Hunter Mark3-60mm which is good on a semi-auto but, on my short action bolt action rifle has to be set too far forward in order to cycle the bolt. After speaking with Trijicon, I was recommended the Trijicon AC12043 mount which will fit my thermal after...

    What is the state of LMT MWS-H complete uppers these days?

    I want to add a complete MWS-H upper, most likely in 6.5CM. Things seem to have stabilized for supply chains and related costs due to better availability as well so, I'm entering the market again. Inflation still bites but, there is nothing I can do about that! What are my better options...

    Bergara B-14R in 22WMR vs. 17HMR?

    With a basically stock rifle, what sort of accuracy should I expect from the B-14R in 22WMR vs. 17HMR? I hear lots of negative feedback on 22WMR rifles and praise for the 17HRM versions. I have a little preference for a 22WMR but, not if it has terrible groups with normal ammunition in the...

    Who makes the better INTEGRAL 22WMR rifles today?

    To all the 17HMR fans out there, the newer ballistic tip rounds look really good but, that tiny bore is a concern for me. Yes, I can buy a skinny rod and jags for it but, keeping it clean is a concern. Then there is the machining of an integral barrel solution that could negatively impact...

    Who makes the better INTEGRAL 22WMR rifles today?

    In the past, there was a company in TN that made a rifle I think called the Ticho, and another in Texas that I believe was SAS or something similar. Then there are all the other shops and can makers that have or had integral options like Elite Iron and similar shops. Today, I am thinking a CZ...

    I turned down a job there for the traffic reason alone! Life is too short to spend any of it in traffic like that IMHO.

    Suppressors Mp5/sp5/ap5 what silencer!?

    The Curtis Tactical CT-9 and CT-9K are both awesome cans. The CT-9 is a large product improved can similar to the older co-axial models. The CT-9K is the same diameter but, about 2 inches shorter. Both are durable top-quality cans that will last a lifetime even if shot hard. They are all...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    How is the weight of that thing? Is handling good? I held one at a gun store and had mixed feelings about it but, it lacked 16 rounds of ammunition for handling quality assessment.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    Thanks! The Beretta barrels are a little thin I think for the Vangcomp changes. Beretta makes really good shotgun barrels and chokes though so, not a huge concern. Any issues I might have are probably easily solved with a different Beretta choke.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    No arguments there. After some experience and break-in, I will start looking for some good shotgun instruction. I can also use what Bill Taggert taught me to deal with the slow reload situation with time and practice just like I did with drawing my Glock from a holster to tear the X out of the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    Your opinion is consistent with most experienced shotgun shooters across multiple shooting disciplines I have encountered over the years. For the reasons you stated, I tend to favor the Beretta BLIS system over Benelli but, the differences aren't huge to me. Regarding birdshot, I shoot very...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    Thanks! I don't have to have all the extras the moment my new shotgun shows up so, the Beretta 1301 is easily within range it looks like. A flashlight for example is easy to put off since I have other "nightstand" options. To be blunt, if in my bedroom at night getting ready to go to sleep or...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    Okay, just to be clear on the Bereta 1301, I don't have to worry about adding USA content for compliance reasons because that is already done by Beretta?
