    Large Frame AR build issues

    A possible solution is to find a new gas block that will fit under the handguard, perhaps one that fits with a set screw rather than clamp on style that is usually bulkier.

    Noise cancelling ear protection...

    I've only had them on the shooting range so far (fairly new) and haven't used them in the field yet. They do seem to give some sense of direction for ambient sounds. And yes, the Saf-T-Ear appears to be rebranded OTTO Noizebarriers , with OTTO focusing on the "tactical" market and Saf-T-Ear on...

    Noise cancelling ear protection...

    With the OTTO and any of the similar products that can use different tips, the most important part to having them work well is choosing the right tip for your ears. These products can be paired with foam, rubber, pvc (flange) tips. For me, the pvc tips don't work as effectively as the foam...

    Noise cancelling ear protection...

    Ear Inc just adopted a new product that I've been testing and it's fantastic. The new product is called the Saf-T-Ear, which are similar to products from Etymotic and Hear Defender and a number of others, but they incorporated these with the custom molded silicone ear plugs. These insert into...

    Stardard Noveske vs Infidel Noveske?

    Noveske generally uses the same handguard system across the line that differs mainly on length. It is otherwise the same except for a few models. The barrels are more or less the same as well in profile and twist rates. The only other variation will be the stock. So make sure you're...

    Stardard Noveske vs Infidel Noveske?

    What do you mean by standard? Noveske has a very wide range of rifles. The Infidel has a 13.7" barrel. Their other models range from SBR barrel lengths up to 20". So one of the main difference will be barrel length.

    Desert Tech SRS A2. Good first long range gun or start with something less?

    It's a good rifle but you should try to get behind one. Not everyone likes the bullpup form factor. I used one for a good amount of time but found that I still prefered the traditional non-bullpup, all things considered.

    Rifle Scopes Best scope to buy for overall use? 100 yard/ 1000 yards - Hunt/competition/varmint.

    If you are going with buy once cry once you already I assume you know which are the top tier optics. If you include hunting as part of the chore, you'd probably want something slightly more compact. ZCO ZC420. Any of the S&B ultra shorts. Vortex AMG. There are quite a few others already...

    Proof pre-fit or a factory AI barrel

    These company all make high quality barrels. Which one will produce better results will be a luck of the draw, especially if you're only going to shoot off the shelf ammo.

    AX, Spuhr, NF, and RRS....was it worth it???

    You need to duct tape a protractor to the side of the stock...serious shooters gotta have an ACI.

If you check out their website, you can find an authorized...

    Plate Carrier vs Vest

    Safe Life Defense has a soft armor for rate for some rifle rounds that looks promising. Supplement with a plate for higher level of rifle round protection and you might have a versatile system to work with.

    Howa HCA .308 - 24" or 20"?

    Get it so you can start shooting. It's more than capable with the right ammo. You can't learn and improve if you don't actually shoot.

    Assuming they'll ever be in stock and legal again, which AR pistol?

    The easiest route right now might be to just build a pistol lower yourself (assuming you're not in a state with stupid restrictions) and just getting the upper that you want. In the price range you listed, you have a lot of options.

    New Sig CROSS

    After looking these over quite a bit at SHOT I certainly plan on getting one to use as a lightweight hunting rifle.

    Rifle Scopes Are Tier 1 scopes even worth it ?

    As with most things that are at the top end of the price tier, there will be diminishing returns. That extra bit you get may be helpful, but usually not a necessity. However, thinking that it's necessary is missing the point. I have scopes at every price range and they all serve the purposes...

    How often should I rotate mags in an AR 15...or not?

    Constant use of the mags will fatigue the springs far quicker than just keeping them under load. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
