    Gunsmithing AR assembly question

    When installing a new barrel in an upper, is it a recommended practice to use grease or anti-seize. Maybe loctite. Also the barrel nut. I have only seen a few, but I have seen one that was installed with loctite. All others had grease. This is the first time I have done this and want to...

    Which upper to use for an AR build?

    Re: Which upper to use for an AR build? Sig, I will be mostly shooting inside of 400 yards. I feel the same way about rails, which is why I like the JP VTAC rail. I had forgotten about the badger rail which looks very nice as well. On my rifles with rails all the way around, I have tried...

    Which upper to use for an AR build?

    Re: Which upper to use for an AR build? Sig, Thanks for the input. I am using a Young's Manufacturing BCG. That is what I have used with good success in my other AR's. I have used both LaRue and the DD lite rail for free-float guards. The VTAC from JP has me intrigued at the moment. Do...

    Which upper to use for an AR build?

    Re: Which upper to use for an AR build? is it possible to purchase a stripped upper from JP? I went to their site and only saw complete uppers and rifles.

    Which upper to use for an AR build?

    Re: Which upper to use for an AR build? Thanks for the replies. I am not interested in a monolithic rail upper, which is why I was looking at the MUR instead of the VIS. Availability is not a huge concern, I just want to get the best one.

    Which upper to use for an AR build?

    What would your recommendations be for a high end AR build? I was thinking VLTOR MUR or LaRue. Thanks

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-10x24 FC2 Versus NP-1 for feral Pig shooting

    Re: 2.5-10x24 FC2 Versus NP-1 for feral Pig shooting The dot is 1.5moa in the 2.5-10 scopes. This is obviously too large for target shooting, but great for close range hunting, IMHO. On the other end of the spectrum is the NP-R2 reticle. I am not sure why they offer this reticle in the...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-10x24 FC2 Versus NP-1 for feral Pig shooting

    Re: 2.5-10x24 FC2 Versus NP-1 for feral Pig shooting Both are excellent hunting reticles, but the FC-2 should help with quick target aquisition. I have (3) 2.5-10 NF scopes, and my next NF will have the FC-2 reticle.

    Rifle Scopes USO wait time

    Re: USO wait time I also agree that calling to check on a build that has not been delivered on time should have no impact whatsoever on the build process. Maybe I am stupid, but I do not see the correlation. I own my own business with production crews, and if a customer calls to check on a...

    Gunsmithing Difference between F/A and S/A BCG?

    Like the title says, I would like to know the difference between M-16 and AR-15 bolt carrier groups? Also, what would you guys recommend for a high quality BCG?! I also noticed that Young's Manufacturing offers a "lightened" BCG. What are the advantages to this? Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes steyr ssg 34 mm scope rings

    Re: steyr ssg 34 mm scope rings Your only option is to have a picatinny rail mounted onto the receiver. I know that US Optics makes one for the SSG 69. Once that is mounted, you can use any rings you want.

    Rifle Scopes US Optics turret questions

    Re: US Optics turret questions Rafael, No problems at all, just a couple questions. Mainly, I wanted to know if there is a way to get the windage knob in the middle of the hash marks so I can have an indication of how many turns out I am from my zero if I dial the knob counterclockwise...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics turret questions

    I just mounted my new USO ST-10 on my rifle, and have a couple questions. The scope seems to be set up by USO for a 20MOA down base, and centered for windage. It has EREK 1/4 MOA elevation knob, and US#1 1/4 MOA windage knob. Question #1: There are 6 hash marks on the scope body where the...

    Rifle Scopes NF FC-2 reticle opinions

    I am considering this reticle on a 2.5-10 that will sit on an AR. I have not seen a scope with this reticle in person. If anyone has a NF with this reticle, how do you like it?

    Rifle Scopes Should I just ditch my Leupold?

    Re: Should I just ditch my Leupold? I just got my USO ST10 yesterday.........HOLY SHIT! It's just nice to look at. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Leupy Mark 4's. I would have no problem using only Leupold. Mine has served me well with not one issue.
