    M14/M1A built or buy??

    No im not on any M14/M1A specific forums but have researched on a few that google turns up. Figured I would start here since im somewhat active on the Hide. Thanks for the info though, im definitely looking around at used options to start with but haven’t had much luck as of yet.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Always wanted a M1A pattern rifle just for nostalgia/conversation piece but definitely plan on shooting it, hunting with it occasionally too. The easy button is just buy a Springfield Armory M1a national match and hope for the best but I want a little more than that. Plan is to run it...

    Tube scopes and mount heights on ar15

    Yeah 1.50ish height is the “go to” for mount height on AR platform rifles. If it has a 50mm objective you will be fine. Just take into account as well the thickness of whatever cover or caps you want to run for clearance between the objective and rail.

    Who cleans BCGs in an ultrasonic cleaner?

    Every once in a while i give them some love. Most of the time they get a little lube on top of the crud and keep rolling.

    Who cleans BCGs in an ultrasonic cleaner?

    I use my ultrasonic to clean bcg’s. I run about 30-40% purple power and tap water and run it about 30ish minutes at 120ish degrees. Bcg’s come out 99% clean and I usually just have to pick a little carbon from the corners of bolt tail area in the bcg. Most of my bcg’s are black nitride and I...

    MDT Oryx - Weight adding options

    Nicely done! Over the last couple days i added a piece of brass bar stock from amazon to the inlet below the barrel thats about 10” long. I poured clear epoxy under it and over it after spraying the brass with a light coat of black paint. Turned out good for about $45 total in parts. The epoxy...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I am watching my email like a hawk. I certified on a ultra 9 and a velos lbp 762 about 2-2.5 weeks ago and im hoping for a quick turnaround like others are getting. My last 2 cans were 7ish weeks from certified to approved but that was aug-sept of 2023.
