    Hand held thermal advice

    I've got both and if I did it over again, I'd just buy the scope with QD mount and save the cost of the handheld. Can mount the scope up in less than 30 seconds in the dark and be back on target ready to do business. If it is multiple targets coming in and out, I just leave it mounted until I'm...

    Update Vortex PST Gen II Battery Problem

    I recently took delivery of a PST Gen 2 and it along with all the other Vortex scopes I own did not come with a battery installed. I'm gonna say somebody has been in the box and played with that scope. Good Luck, the good news is Vortex will take care of you and turnaround is fast!

    Anyone running a DDMK18 Suppressed?

    The RRA 9mm buffer weighs 5.5 oz. I carry a complete set of buffers when testing which allows me to find the best one for a particular weapon. As a side note, the registered SBR lower sees several uppers of different configurations and they all run with that 9mm buffer so I'm gonna guess that...

    Anyone running a DDMK18 Suppressed?

    I run a DD 10.3 (5.56) suppressed with the 9mm (black) buffer. Sweetest shooting SBR I've ever owned. No adjustable GB, runs in FA too without issue. Does not seem to care if the suppressor is on or off!

    ARMS #22 ring surprise

    After 15+ years, on a set of ARMS #22 low rings, 2 of the socket head cap screws popped off on the same side. (Rear ring left side) They were torqued 12-14 in/lbs, had no corrosion, just failed for no apparent reason. Clean break right at the head. Installed on a DSArms SA58 semi in .308 which...

    Help!! Live round stuck in my Rem700.

    Respectfully........ NEVER use heat of any kind on a live round unless you want to create another more serious problem like blowing your head off!

    18" barrel accuracy problems and questions.

    Did you check for copper build-up in the bore? Some of the non top shelf barrels are not finished out that well and if rough, sucks the copper right off the bullet! Once had a customer complain about accuracy on a stainless match 20"after 100 rds. Ran a patch down the barrel with Sweets 7.62 and...

    Bolt effect on accuracy?

    Every BCM upper I've ever used required a heat gun to expand the bore enough to slide it on the extension. If yours was loose, something is mis- dimension-ed. Removing one that fits is tough...... with locking compound, you will need to use heat to remove.

    New Vortex Viper PST II Eating Duracell CR2032 Batteries?

    The bad news...... send it in. The good news...... best warranty/customer service in the industry! Unfortunate but it does happen. OR, you could live with it but that's not really a solution. More good news....... my experience is fastest turnaround time and they pay shipping both ways. Just get...

    Rifle Scopes WOA SPR 18 in Barrel Scope Selection

    When I built my Mk12, I originally went with the Leupold Mk 4 MR/T 3-9x36 which worked out well. Same WOA barrel as you..... wanted a little more in the mag department so I picked up a Vortex Gen II 3-15x44 and the fit is nice and balanced. Gained some weight over the 3-9 but the extra mag helps...

    Night Vision What's your MAWL setup?

    We think alike. That is one of my main reasons for going with the Surefire M340V Pro. Tucked in nice and saved some weight too!

    Night Vision What's your MAWL setup?

    There might be a time where the NODS just don't do the job and white light is the best option. Personally I run the SF Vampire lights with NV so I have both IR and visible light available. There are many products available, I just found SF to suit my needs.

    Burris XTR3 Illuminated models available yet?

    I'm more than excited... based on what CS said when I placed my order, I might be on the first batch. It is good to see they are tweaking the final product and from what I've read, this should be a killer scope in a crowded market. I do appreciate your update! Now I'm going to camp on the curb...

    Got the XTRIII 3.3-18 on order direct from Burris (warranty upgrade) and wondered if any body has one in hand yet?

    Burris Signature PEPR QD

    Can't comment on the Burris PEPR but I've been using ADM for many years and never had an issue returning to zero. I too have been tempted to try one of the less expensive mounts but I come to my senses and go back to something that I know will always work. Time and money saved not having to...

    Adams Arms Piston vs. Superlative Arms Piston conversion kits

    This is the FSP on the 11.5" showing how the gas block fits in the rail and extends. Troy front sight folds down in front of the laser.

    Adams Arms Piston vs. Superlative Arms Piston conversion kits

    Handguards are Daniel Defense Lite Rails (quads) or the FSP 9.5 on the SBRs. The cutout for the front sight is perfect for the AA gas block and extends the rail for a little more real estate. The 7.5 use the Samson Star 4 EX for the same reason. Been running them long enough that DD has...
