    Suppressors Suppressor transfers in the no tax stamp era

    I did the same thing. I'm also getting ready to buy another suppressor through Silencer Shop. I'm thinking I'm gonna do this last one on a silencer shop trust and add my others to that trust down the road.

    Everyday ammo

    This was at 50 yards? Something isn't right. What rifle are you shooting this out of? What headspace are you running? Its been a while since I setup my rifle, so I'm going by memory; but Eley has a relatively thin case rim and my rifle does the best with Eley when the headsapce is at .038 or...

    Optics Advice for AR-15

    Oh, the RT6. Reminds me of a simpler time. Need an LPVO with a useful reticle, RT6. Need a bright as sh!t dot, Gen 2 PST. Didn't need to think about it. I love talking optics. There are so many that 10 guys can express an opinion and everyone could be right. Since the OP obviously doesn't have...

    Needing to use charging handle to chamber round - small frame ar

    Ok, just get back to basics. First fire a round with one round in the magazine. Does it lock back? If so, is it locking on the bolt carrier or the front of the bolt? If it locks back on the front of the bolt, rather than the bolt carrier, you're getting full travel. How many mags do you have...

    Optics Advice for AR-15

    We're getting off on a bit of a tangent here, But I don't agree that PA hit the mark with the original PLX LPVO. Again, I think they missed the mark. Going to an LPVO is a part of a progression. You start with a red dot. You need more magnification. You add a magnifier, but there isn't much...

    Optics Advice for AR-15

    I agree. All of these manufacturers completely missed the mark with all of the effort they've put into chasing 1-8x and 1-10x first focal plane LPVOs. The NX8 and PLX c could have been real winners, given their form factor, if they just engineered them to be 1-6x second focal plane scopes with...

    Optics Advice for AR-15

    I can't argue with this. I have two almost identical setups that I use for close to medium range distances. Both are 11.5s with suppressors. One wears an NX8, the other a TA11. The one with the TA11 is by far the one that is used the most. To say that it is a 3.5x can be misleading. The eye box...

    Suppressors 300 blackout sub/super ar suppressor

    Man, it might seem like I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here, but the YHM R45 is a killer can for 9mm and 300BO. I also have an R9 that performs well, just not quite as well. They are cheap, have good signature reduction and actually cool pretty quickly.

    Needing to use charging handle to chamber round - small frame ar

    If the bolt catch is catching on the carrier rather than the bolt it is PROBABLY because the bolt is going back far enough to cycle the rifle, but not far back enough for the catch to hook on the bolt. My guess would be too much spring. How much buffer mass are you running with that bolt...

    Optics Advice for AR-15

    My advise against using an LPVO has little to nothing to do with the lack of parallax adjustment. Having a 1x as a bottom end seriously limits the size of the objective lense that can be used. What this means in use is a small exit pupil. Which results in a tighter eye box and less light...

    Optics Advice for AR-15

    For 300 and in, I'd be looking at a second focal plane 1-6. For your stated budget, including a good mount, I'd go with a Trijicon Credo 1-6, second focal plane. Not the HX. The one with the etched reticle with BDC for 5.56. Put it into a Leupold Mark AR mount. This is a very nice rig. My...

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight short range hunting optic?

    Yes, lots of people knock the eye box on the NX8, but make no mistake, the PLXc isn't any better. As far as the NX8 vs PLXc debate goes, this is the way I see it... They both have a true 1x, or as close to it as you can get in an LPVO. The PLXc has an arguably better 1x, as the NX8 on 1x does...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce X-Treme Duty 34mm Mount Wanting 100 In Pounds

    100 in-lbs is the torque spec for the cross bolts on that mount. That doesn't mean that they necessarily NEED to be torqued to that. My tools only go up to 68 in-lbs, so that's what I use on all if my nightforce stuff and I haven't had a problem. Not on anything up to a .308 anyway.

    First Post- Looking for Scope recommendations- LMT 13.5" 308 Battle Rifle

    Notwithstanding what I said above regarding the scopes mentioned; for a rifle with the stated use, a defensive rifle for out to 500; I have two such rigs. For short to mid range I've found MPVOs to be a bit of overkill. What I mean by that is that you are going to be humping around magnification...

    First Post- Looking for Scope recommendations- LMT 13.5" 308 Battle Rifle

    2-10 is one of those class of scopes that is very useful, but very few manufacturers put any sort of effort into them. I guess thats good and bad. There not being many to choose from is the bad and the fact that there aren't many to choose from is good too. If you want something that's going to...

    Best offset mount and red dot combo for AR?

    Offset mounts have been referred to as 45 degree mounts several times. Not all put the red dot at a 45 degree angle. In fact, the lesser angle you can get away with, the less you have to cant the rifle. Also, putting a red dot mount on a scope tube and canting it 45 degrees to the turret of...

    Best offset mount and red dot combo for AR?

    Good deal. Just in case you didn't know, the full size EPS comes with an RMR adapter plate to give you a few more mounting options.

    Best offset mount and red dot combo for AR?

    Yeah, I thought the same too and tried a 4 MOA dot. I found it to be too big for use on an AR. Depending on how far forward you wind up mounting it, it's gonna start to get too big. I zero my red dot for a 50/200ish zero and hitting a 10" steel plate at 200 is really slow with the bigger dot...

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    When looking for my first suppressor, my priorities were size and signature reduction. That sort of led me away from flow through cans. After some research and trying different cans, I landed on a YHM Fat Cat. It's very good at signature reduction and is not overly heavy. It also didn't turn my...
