    Rifle Scopes 5.56 AR Zeroing - Aimpoint vs LPVO

    I consider the DDM4 my purpose-built fighting gun for when SHTF. Basically the same purpose the military intended for it. That's not to say I don't enjoy shooting groups with it... :) I realize that 100y is pretty much the standard for most rifles. However, from everything i've read I didn't...

    Rifle Scopes 5.56 AR Zeroing - Aimpoint vs LPVO

    Yeah.... I have easy access to anything up to 100 yards. A Marine buddy of mine is how I ended up with the original 50y zero with the Aimpoint. His rationale was that since you're pretty much within the 2moa 'dot' from 20 to like 300y you wouldn't have to try and figure drop or holdovers...

    Rifle Scopes 5.56 AR Zeroing - Aimpoint vs LPVO

    Guys, Not sure if this is the right spot for this since it is an optics question but also an operational question... Long story but I finally decided to upgrade the optics on my DDM4 from an Aimpoint CompM4s w/ magnifier to a Nightforce Atacr 1-8x24 f1. The rifle is currently zero'd at 50y for...

    Where to buy Barrel storage cases for AI barrels???

    I second the TAB Gear barrel & bolt sleeves. I have them for all of my AXMC barrels. They even have a spot to insert a label card so you can tell at a glance which barrel is in which sleeve. They're well worth the price and fix the AI barrels perfectly.

    What spare parts to keep in stock?

    Glocks are ridiculously reliable. Only thing with them I'd recommend is mags, recoil springs and at least one extractor. I'm an armorer and 99% of any issues encountered those three things will take care of.

    Suppressors Silencershop Single Shot Trust

    Just sharing my experiences here in Indiana... They’ve all either collectively decided not to do it or - as a couple of the dealers here indicated - they’re receiving pressure not to work with third party competitors from somewhere within the SS foodchain. Regardless, the manual process isn’t...

    Suppressors Silencershop Single Shot Trust

    In theory dealers are supposed to be able to add the suppressor to their ‘local’ inventory in the SS system and they they can do paperwork, trusts, etc jut like it came from SS. In practice however - at least here in Indiana - they flat will not accept any transfer that isn’t from SilencerShop...

    Suppressors Question for TBAC Ultra 5 Owners

    Yeah... it’s $75 per six months. They only charge that if it’s a transfer and not something they sold which I can understand. I’m fine with the costs.... the drive the killer. I got all my forms put together this evening with photos, prints, etc. Still have to print the priority mail...

    Suppressors Question for TBAC Ultra 5 Owners

    Alaskashooter, My usual FFL isn't a bad guy and that's the way it worked for all of my other suppressors. For some reason they won't except an inbound Class III transfer from anyone except Silencer Shop. I know the owner pretty well and he said - without going into specifics - that 'I'm not...

    Suppressors Question for TBAC Ultra 5 Owners

    I realize the Form 4 can’t be submitted until the Form 3 clears. The Form 4 requires the FFL/SOTs signature anyway. I’m just trying to avoid having to go there, pay my fees, go home, go back to get paperwork, go home and then go back again. Each trip is right at 3hrs one way. I figured if I...

    Suppressors Question for TBAC Ultra 5 Owners

    That’s EXACTLY my plan. I just have to confirm how these are registered description-wise since you have to fill all of that out manually.

    Suppressors Question for TBAC Ultra 5 Owners

    Zak, Since the only dealer who would accept the transfer is hours away I’m trying to get all my paperwork ready myself to avoid multiple trips and having to take days off work. I want to get this right the first time. I hoping you can help me since you’re the folks who create these things and...

    Suppressors Question for TBAC Ultra 5 Owners

    Haven’t dealt with this dealer before... The Class III I usually deal with will not accept transfer of a suppressor from anyone except Silencer Shop. (I guess it’s part of their dealer agreement with them or something). The new dealer reluctantly agreed to accept the transfer. Said he’d call...

    Suppressors Question for TBAC Ultra 5 Owners

    Guys, Have an .30cal Ultra 5 being transferred from Texas to a dealer here in Indiana since they appear to be backordered till the end of time at Silencer Shop. Since the only dealer who would accept the transfer is 3+ hours away I’m trying to do my paperwork myself so when I get to the dealer...

    Rifle Scopes Sig Optics vs Vortex vs ? - Help me decide

    Not necessarily stuck on those two in particular but what I’m looking for really limits my options: 1) Needs to have a low magnification setting in the 3x (or 4x max) range 2) Needs to have a high magnification setting of at least 16x (or more) 3) illuminated Christmas-tree Style MRAD retical...

    Geno C, How well does the Sig track? I've seen several older reports that they had issues but nothing regarding their recent releases.

    Rifle Scopes Sig Optics vs Vortex vs ? - Help me decide

    On my AXMC I have an ATACR 5-25x56 F1 and absolutely love it. Was originally wanting to go Nightforce on the SP10M but given the usability of the .308 round I figured something with lower end magnification for close up stuff would be more beneficial. That lead me to the S&B Ultra Short. Only...
