    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    I turned one of the Armalite 11.5s that I got into a dedicated suppressor host. Took it out to get a taste of what it can do. I had a small variety of ammo on hand. From left to right top, then bottom ... Black Arc 77gr, Winchester with Barnes 77gr Matchburners, PMC M193, PMC M193...

    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    For many, it isn't an issue. Assuming all is well with the bolt, 1-1:30 is a sign of pretty aggressive gassing. As said, for many, it isn't as issue, as long as it keeps running with your chosen ammo. So far, you've had reliability for 2000 rounds. Although overgassed rigs are generally more...

    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    Well, ejection pattern isn't the end all, be all gauge of proper gassing/closed bolt lock time; but, assuming that your extractor and ejector are working properly and you're running a standard spring rate, the ejection pattern is a pretty good indicator of proper gassing/closed bolt lock time...

    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    Over the past couple of years, for many of the reasons stated, I've become a big fan of the YHM suppressor gas block. It doesn't have the flexibility of an adjustable, but it serves its purpose. At $18 each, although I can't do adjustments in the field, I can service a wearing rig to keep it...

    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    For those of you getting barrels from EGP and just leaving them in the packaging, I'd suggest that you take it out of the bag and give it a once over. I suspect that the webbing and plastic wrapper are not from the manufacturer and were just applied for shipping purposes. Of the five that me and...

    Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

    Lots of statements about what can be done with a red dot. I kinda wish that some of these statements came with some qualifications or context. At the range where I shoot, there are various steel 3 and 4 MOA and larger targets, staggered from 200 to 800 yards. There is also a good amount of...

    "Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

    All of those things that you mentioned are true, but are also the long term side effects of overgassing. The more over gassed you are, the more prematurely parts will wear. Personally, I think that a bit of overgassing is a good thing and I'd rather be slightly overgassed than undergassed. It...

    Best QD Suppressor Mount for 300BLK?

    A shooting friend of mine is running that setup with his Cobalt Kinetics suppressor. When I first looked at it, I thought it was a direct thread setup. It is indeed compact. This is the SRX setup that came with my Fatcat.

    Best QD Suppressor Mount for 300BLK?

    I messed with suppressors a good bit, mostly setting up other people's rigs to run them, but I just recently got a suppressor of my own and did a bit of poking around and talking to people regarding mounts. Based on what I've seen and gathered talking to others, stay away from tri-lug if...

    Nx8 2.5-20 vs mk 5 3.6-18?

    A 14.5 what? Ar15ish pr AR10ish rig? Eh, either way, unless you doing some sort of precision shooting or really stretching the limits of what you can do with a 14.5, I think you're looking at too much glass. On a 14.5, I like to have a 2 or 2.5x bottom end, which the NX8 can do, but you're...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    LMAO. Yup. Shopping for a 9mm silencer right now. If they had the R9 in stock, the money would already be spent.

    Best AR-15/M16 Bolt Carrier Group For The Money…Who Ya Got??

    Although there are a few who claim to have built a better mouse trap, I don't think I've ever had a bolt related failure that wasn't due lack of maintenance. I mean, I've never had something happen and think... "that wouldn't have happened with an XYZ bolt." Everything needs maintenance and...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I just got a YHM Fatcat through Silencer Shop and I was able to do much of what I needed to do through a local gunshot that had a kiosk. Order placed on 4/15. Silencer arrived at my local shop on 4/24. I got my email from ATF on 4/28, but my shop is closed on Mondays. Picked it up 4/29. All in...

    Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

    When I first started this thread and asked the question of whether a DT mount vs a QD mount might jave an effect on suppression, there was something that I didn't consider. Some mount and/or muzzle device combos may impede on the internal volume of the suppressor. I just pucked up my fat cat. I...

    Scope ring height

    I went back and forth over this not too long ago. I had a weight budget I was trying to stick to. The one piece nightforce I was looking at weighed 6 oz. The rings I was considering were from American Rifle Company. The rings alone were 6 oz, but very robust. Theoretically, the ARC rings should...

    Scope ring height

    Same here. 1.5 for the EP5. Mind you, that scope is a heavy beast.

    Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

    I suppose it depends on what the OP wants and what his definition of a SHTF rig is. If in your zombie fantasy, your targets are going to be standing out in the open, without regard for their safety or that the opposition will only be shooting at you from within 100 yards and not using cover then...

    Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

    Oh, I meant to mention ... if length of pull is a concern, go with an A5 buffer tube amd buffer. Very reasonably priced at KAK. It adds a bit of LOP. I run those on all three of my pistols.

    Another Unscientific AAC Ammo Comparison

    I really don't doubt it. That's my whole point. When I first tried it out, some time ago, it shot great. I ordered more to confirm, it shot great. I then placed an order to restock and what I got left me scratching my head. I mean, really tearing my hair out. I thought something was wrong with...
