    Question about 13.9in vs 14.5in

    Something like that yes, and that's why 18" for shotguns. Was one set of lengths for all long arms, but change was only to rifles to make sure it's confusing.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

    I have two different Steiner T6x (and can therefore testify to their warranty being exceptional: both are free replacements for old Military series where the electronics died: note some warranties have VERY limited electronic timeframes) and some friends have a couple more I have seen...

    Precision Rifle Gear Does anyone make a ARCA rail hand cover?

    Mounting rings on rail

    This. There are cross-slots that work as locators and recoil lugs So Use Them. Aside from the last ditch safety against slipping for any cause, it also gives you that much more precision to locate the system if you take it apart. Which happens for any number of reasons. Good procedure like...

    Precision Rifle Gear Does anyone make a ARCA rail hand cover?

    A few fit tests. ARCA rails are even more diverse than we thought. @kkroger will be examining these fit measures and see what to do next. Likely, will offer with several profiles, tapered vs square, to get a better fit range for every install. Trying to fit to specific dovetail profiles seems...

    Night Vision Perst 4?

    No where new/currently imported because sanctions. All will be purchased in the past, likely used. Prices rise slowly every month as availability is fixed or diminishing from attrition. I sold one last year for 3x what I paid for it. DO as pointed out be aware they became popular enough there...

    Precision Rifle Gear Does anyone make a ARCA rail hand cover?

    Closer yet. Top needs work (radius) which isn't done because of things I do not get about how printing works, but he'll work on it. Should get this tomorrow to try on all my many rails to make sure it works, and works well enough what with ARCA not /really/ having a spec so across a reasonable...

    Precision Rifle Gear Does anyone make a ARCA rail hand cover?

    He was way ahead of this shape thing, already done on rev 2. Still needs more radius but now it's blocky profile and fits apparently properly (he's like 40 min from me, I haven't seen it yet):

    Precision Rifle Gear Does anyone make a ARCA rail hand cover?

    Will have a texture. Also...thinking of all those were the rail is wider than the handguard I assumed you wouldn't want the 90% straight up from the fat head to the dovetail because then you just have a top edge and a gap but... others feel the same as CarbonBased? So far. Too stiff so...

    Precision Rifle Gear Does anyone make a ARCA rail hand cover?

    Friend of mine (whose service/industry bonafides you'd like a lot but I'll let him decide what he wants to share if he joins) has gotten a series of increasingly nice 3D printers over the last months, for hobby stuff. Already this morning got him excited for this so: (May be radiused more than...

    Rails for LMSS?

    Yup. Love everything about the LMSS2. Okay, wish the focus took less force, but love the optics, love the reticle, love the size/shape. Unlike any other spotter I am aware of, the shape also means putting on the ARCA mount and top rail (the only one I have) makes it no bigger; they are as big as...

    Police: RPGs Found in Home of Student Who Threatened School Shooting

    The RPG7 series thing shown is almost certainly an actual demilled one, because it has a giant hole in the side. The green oval is the projectile (which itself is almost certainly not demilled but a replica, cast or 3D printed). None are remotely unlawful anywhere in the US I am aware of. Okay...

    Night Vision Night Ops

    Good point. The long-discontinued Raytheon-then-L3 X series were a good example of a "folded" or side-by-side design. Here (not my photo) is the innards, showing how most of it is electronics, just a pretty small optical path (shown) for viewing, and a pretty small optical path (not so visible...

    Scope for a HK SL8-6 under 600$

    Tangent but I'd be thrilled to find a cheap SL8, and then be saving my pennies to do at least some of this, make it a better G36 clone: https://tommybuilttactical.com/sl8-to-g36-conversion/ https://blackopsdefense.com/hk-sl8-to-g36/

    Gunsmithing Go-to for high end files?

    I know this math precisely for some stuff closer to my day job. Some hospitals used to use ruggedized laptops or tablets; when they get splashed with blood they aren't ruined but DO become a bio-hazard so some IT guy with extra contamination training has to take a day to take it apart and wash...

    Gunsmithing Go-to for high end files?

    Oh wow, I had been looking at (and not buying) $80 instead of $6-18 files. Never considered multi-hundred dollars, didn't know these went that high. Are they legit that expensive, in their home countries, or is it the scarcity as imports?

    Gunsmithing Go-to for high end files?

    I don't have this money myself, have gotten by with mostly a random collection of things inherited, and it does from what I see and hear, seem that old Nicholson is not new, I like my old ones. This seems to be the usual, old were all made by one old man in a factory in Indiana, new are...

    Dual band Rh25 and Pvs14 - I don't love it

    Yeah, it's what everyone else said, similar auto-scene balancing to what your camera phone does. No, no one has manual black point/white point anymore, and you wouldn't like it. My BAe Oasys core can even do this, but is generally better than others, I agree with Evolution 9 on this also...

    Range Hard Cases? Condition 1, Apache, or just Pelican?

    My dragbag fits into a Pelican that I removed most other foam from. Traveling short distances in a car, moving inside the range generally is just the dragbag. Pelican for when transport is back of a truck (and yes, I have a cable and lock permanently in the bed, as quick-run-inside securing)...

    BBQ comes from North Carolina and Brisket comes from Texas

    The degree to which you non-KC people are wrong is breathtaking. P.S. Barbeque is not about sauce.
