    Suppressors Templar Tactical vs ThunderBeast Suppressor

    I've received my Form 4's from Templar. My order is #808. So my suppressor is probably done and it is just waiting on Uncle Sam.

    Thinking JP LRP-07 6.5CM with 20" Proof Carbon...comments?

    I have something a bit similar on the way. A few things to note: Proof Research is a distributor for Mega Receivers. So they prefer to build using that. In these times of shortage, they told me I'd get my rifle faster with the Mega than JP. So my upper will have the JP bolt and BCG along...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP scope illumination ?

    You can choose the dim reticle electronics or you can choose the daylight visible. In fact, you can buy both for the same scope.

    Rifle Scopes 34mm ring recommendations?

    Re: 34mm ring recommendations? Precision Reflexes are near your price point and pretty good: http://www.precisionreflex.com/34mm_Scope_Rings_pr-4278.aspx I also have a set of PRI 34's I never used. They came with a riflescope that I purchased that I can sell to you for $70 shipped. The one...

    Rifle Scopes Butler Creek Tactical scope covers now in stock!

    Re: Butler Creek Tactical scope covers now in stock! I ordered two of these. They do have the tendency to pop open if I seat them in all the way. If I leave a bit of slack, they close properly. Maybe the outer diameter of my HDMR and SS is a bit wide. For the eyepiece side, I never had...

    Suppressors and Gas Guns! My 2cents

    Re: Suppressors and Gas Guns! My 2cents I have a switchblock on my DI gun and when used with my suppressor, it does reduce the overgassing a bit and allows me to fire more rounds before the gun invariably stops feeding. So I generally agree with George. The best mode for shooting...

    carbon fiber barrel

    Re: carbon fiber barrel I have an AR with a Proof Research Carbon fiber wrapped barrel. It does save weight but the savings is relative to the contour and length of your barrel. Expect a 40% weight savings relative to a barrel of the same length and contour. (Also got another Proof upper...

    LMT MWS and screw-on can

    Re: LMT MWS and screw-on can You can get a VAIS muzzle brake. It is a radial brake that doesn't require timing. If you contact VAIS directly, they will even cut one to your barrel's exact outer diameter and provide you with a nifty tool that allows you to take the brake off without damaging...

    Gas systems ? Piston or direct impingement?

    Re: Gas systems ? Piston or direct impingement? I used to want a piston system but now with the component shortage and possible AR ban, I'm partial towards DI guns now. In a ban situation, I'll have a far easier time replacing my broken DI system components than I would a piston system. The...

    AR15 firing problem

    Re: AR15 firing problem Sometimes, the chamber in the barrel maybe cut too tight. Why don't you try with factory loads and/or virgin brass first and see if the problems persist? If it goes away, that tells you to use a small base resizing die as opposed to an FL one. I have a rifle whose...

    What are the fastest wearing parts on an AR?

    Hi, Let's say I'm trying to build an AR whose parts can last a long time without breaking. What are the parts I would need to focus on to ensure it maintains its function? Also, what would be the expected life of: 1. Regular extractor vs chromed extractor or TiNi coated extractor 2. Regular...

    Rifle Scopes HDMR on an AR, ring height?

    Re: HDMR on an AR, ring height? Definitely high rings in the 1.4"+ range. I mounted the HDMR to my AR and my Near 1.35" rings felt a little low. Must warn you, the HDMR made my AR feel too uncomfortably heavy.

    Rifle Scopes In Hand - Trijicon TARS

    Re: In Hand - Trijicon TARS Might be a good bugout scope. But it is rather heavy...would probably unbalance my DTA Covert.

    Rifle Scopes Light weight, close range scope for low light cond

    Re: Light weight, close range scope for low light cond The Trijicons have both fiber optics and tritium illumination. The fiber optics allow you a brighter lit reticle in lighted conditions and the tritium still gives you a glowing point in dark conditions. I think there is a Trijicon...

    Rifle Scopes 1 Sweet scope for all, or 1 decent scope for each?

    Re: 1 Sweet scope for all, or 1 decent scope for each? My problem with the one scope idea is my different rifles works best with different kinds of scopes. For example, my 6-24x72 Zeiss goes like peanut butter and jelly on my .300 Win Mag but it is completely inappropriate on my AR. For...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender vs. NightForce... Let me have it

    Re: Schmidt & Bender vs. NightForce... Let me have it You should look at the Bushnell HDMR and SWFA 5-20 if the S&B gives you sticker shock. Though the above two is not as good as the S&B, they are better than the Nightforce and gives you FFP to boot. The S&B is also 2x + the above but...
