    A Riddle Wrapped in an Action

    I’ve never seen anything like this either. The original purpose of the treaded holes (in the chassis not the action) was to secure remote switches, so I’d suspect this is probably a one off solution. Sometimes weird stuff gets fabricated in SOT shops in theater at the request of operators. It...

    Does anyone here own the FN M249S?

    I’ve found that the typical M249s fielded for most units are just simply worn the fuck out/improper cannibalized for parts. I remember absolutely hating the M249s we had in the Marine Corps in the early 00’s but I can tell you every 249 I’ve had in SOF has ran like a raped ape. In the end...

    Hodge Defense In Review

    That’s actually a really interesting question point. Ultimately yes, I think the technologies presented by the Mk12 essentially became more and more mainstream. Good triggers like the KAC triggers from the Mk12s, early LPVO like the, Schmidt Bender short dots, Leupold MTRs, Nightforces etc and...

    Magnum ARs-Noreen Vs Falkor vs NEMO

    I’ll take “things I would not bother with” for 400 Alex. I while it’s been a few years, I have experience with both Nemo and Falkor. Based off the QC I’ve seen, I would not recommend either of them.

    Hodge Defense In Review

    Yes Afghanistan was a interesting backdrop, combative engagements tended to stretch out thus I think you tend to see a lot more probability for such observations. That said I don’t think of Block IIs or a URGI as “rack grade”. I tried to shoot the Winston P. Wilson back in 2018 with a Block II...

    Hodge Defense In Review

    The ACI kinda just hangs out for clout these days 😅. High-Angle shooting really isn’t much of thing as people make it out to be 99% of the time. Honestly it’s a great conversation starter for why high-angle isn’t a big deal, exceptions being aerial platform. For that an ACI is nice for a quick...

    Hodge Defense In Review

    Personal observations of M855A1s terminal ballistics in the field have been “impressive” 😉

    Hodge Defense In Review

    I don’t know, but I would say the port size is definitely optimal for running suppressed with “Spicy” loads. All the DODICs cycled great (all unsuppressed) but the steel case bullshit was problematic in that cold weather, always ejected but maybe 50% failures to feed. Which isn’t at all...

    Hodge Defense In Review

    I have not heard of Hodge being optimized for M855A1. Hard to optimize for such an inconsistent round lot to lot. Early lots of M855A1 that I used in Afghanistan cir 2012 would hover around 1.5 MOA out of Block IIs and Mk12s but 2.5ish is what I see these days even out of true match great...

    Hodge Defense In Review

    Ok so this is just a quick little review of a Hodge Defense upper. Over the last couple years I’ve seen a lot of folks and particularly some very reputable fellow instructors praise Hodge for their accuracy and speed… …I’ve also heard folks dismiss Hodge Defense as nothing more than fanboy hype...

    Can anyone convert a hogan/pof large frame lower to DPMS sized pins?

    I actually just found a POF large frame in the back of my safe, (I keep forgetting its in there for like the last 10 years 😅). I am tempted to grow it in to another rifle, so I am going to piggyback on this post in case someone has a solution for converting pins.
