    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    February is ending. I was hoping to see the short actions rolling out by now. Mine is a long action so I have to wait but it would be nice to know things are moving.

    Aero Precision M5 Build Questions

    I hesitate to say Armalite and AR10 in the same sentence because the company that calls itself Armalite today is not the same as the Armalite that designed the original AR10 and the AR10 they sell today is not the same as the AR10 that Armalite designed. With that said, I believe the "carbine...

    At what age did you wake up

    I trust people completely. I have as long as I can remember. Learning to trust myself was harder.

    At what point do you decide it's time to post negative feedback?

    My local Popeyes Chicken instituted a policy where they would only sell their chicken sandwich as a $7.99 combo instead of a $3.99 item. That did it for me. Fuck those guys. I'm eating at Chick-fil-a from now on and I posted that in a Google review.

    Which Ar-10 BCG?

    What is enhanced? I like NiB, DLC and nitride finishes on a BCG because they are easier to clean and more tolerant of dry running. Some AR15 bolts are enhanced with better geometry on the bolt lugs to reduce stress concentration and cracking. I don't think any of the AR10/LR308 BCGs do that.

    Budget AR-15 and AR-10 Barrel Options

    I don't get why people say ARs are hard to shoot accurately. My first pretty accurate AR was a 6.8 SPC II and it shoots right around MOA if I try a little. It holds that accuracy to at least 5-600 yards. I haven't tried it further. My first really accurate AR was a LR308 type that I put...

    Which Ar-10 BCG?

    That has the small firing pin, any issues?

    Why aren't the Fury 5000 binos more popular?

    Comparing the Vortex Fury 5000 vs the Sig Kilo 3000 BDX, the basic binoculars and LRF seem to be nearly identical, almost certainly built in the same factory. I haven't heard of huge differences in the glass but both are good if not absolutely top tier as binoculars. It seems like the main...

    Which Ar-10 BCG?

    I have had good luck with JP and Toolcraft. The JP was expensive but nice and I bought it during one of the gun ban scares of the Obama administration so oddly it wasn't that much more expensive than a DPMS parkerized BCG. The Toolcraft BCGs look every bit as nice as the JP but cost a lot less...

    Sig Sauer - KILO3000 BDX LASER RANGEFINDING BINOCULARS

    I have it with the universal stud and it fits perfect for me. I don't see what they could really improve to make a better stud for the Kilo 3000 BDX.

    Sig Sauer - KILO3000 BDX LASER RANGEFINDING BINOCULARS

    I don't think you need the Elite. I think the model without AB Elite software links and will compute 800+ yard firing solutions, just with slightly less accuracy if you want to shoot in to or past the transonic region.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Shot a sti today and I fell in love.

    I haven't been paying attention but I think STI might be changing their products because the 2011 copyright or patent expired and third parties started making compatible frames. For a custom race gun, it doesn't matter if the parts are genuine STI/SVI as long as they work. For a carry gun, if...

    Varmint trigger for AR-15

    I need to try the Triggertech AR triggers. I have two of their Remington 700 style triggers (a Special and a Diamond) that are very nice for the price. In the AR, I have CMC, RRA, SR Gold, Rise, Larue and Elftmann triggers along with a few 15 minute trigger job LPK triggers. To me, the 15...

    Budget AR-15 and AR-10 Barrel Options

    PSA is good for budget AR15 stuff, the PA10, not so much. It's actually pretty easy to make an AR shoot well, large frame or small. It's mostly in the barrel and a free float handguard. If you get a nice trigger and shim or setscrew the upper to lower fit to reduce rattles, there isn't...

    If you were to completely restart your career...

    A degree in petroleum engineering is valuable beyond working on an oil rig. People are making oil from algea, ethanol from corn. Then there is what people make from oil. Plastics, synthetic fibers, grease, fake butter and a whole bunch of other things I'm sure. There will always be an oil...

    Aero Precision M5 Build Questions

    Aero's carbine buffer kit is dumb. They just copied the DPMS LR308 setup and it was dumb when DPMS did it. The LR308 and Aero buffers are shorty buffers. They are uncommon and harder to make heavy buffers since they are short. The AR10 carbine design extended the buffer tube instead of...

    150,000,000... where did they bury them all?

    I think that was the plan until Hillary opened her mouth. Hell, despite Trump's promise to drain the swamp, I think he was going to go along with the status quo untill the Meuller investigation kicked off. Now Biden can avoid investigation until he is no longer a presidential candidate, then...

    Aero Precision M5 Build Questions

    I disagree with staying all Aero. I really like some parts of the M5E1 setup but not all. I like the enhanced upper, matching handguard, the lower receiver and partial LPK. The rest I buy from other places for either better parts or lower cost. I can buy a Toolcraft NiB BCG for less than a...

    11 year old girl totes loaded AR 15 to council meeting

    You don't have to hide anything, you just don't need to push certain images out in to the media and that includes social media. If you are going to push, you need to be aware of the optics and act strategically. Our strategy is to beat gun control in the courts and that is easier if we don't...
