    Gunsmithing Orange Vise/Area419 Collab

    The odds of this are fairly low at this time. Not zero, but low.

    Area 419 Tactical One-Piece Scope Mount

    The real magic on the bore is the patent-pending process - even if it's kind of a pain in the ass for us. We are making the ring caps and bases (wether one or two piece), sending them out to ano, then when they come back fully anodized we assemble them into sets and put them back into the...

    Area 419 Tactical One-Piece Scope Mount

    To follow up on this, we are in an interesting spot as a company, related to size. We are usually looked at one of two ways, and in reality we are in the middle. People that have never seen inside the shop think that we are either VERY small, and don't have the ability to fill machines, so...

    Area 419 Tactical One-Piece Scope Mount

    We absolutely make our fastners in house. We have two Star swiss (SR20 and SR32) running them full time, along with some other swiss parts. As is the case with a lot of parts, we could farm it all out and probably end up with something functional, but we wanted some pretty specific things, and...

    Gunsmithing Orange Vise/Area419 Collab

    It's unknown if we will ever have the vises here again. Originally they were VERY interested in working with us as a reseller - then we were able to very successfully market the product, and demand became MUCH more than it had ever been for them, and they started to crank up the price, demand...

    NEW! MDT SEND IT GEN2 \\ Electronic Rifle Level

    We are, but it will not be immediate. MDT is supposed to be sending out a tech pack for people like us any time, once we have that we will begin to produce very quickly. I think in the near future you'll see new mounts from us for the SendIt Gen2, the SG Pulse, and the SG Pulse Pro.

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    We use it in various applications here, I'm a fan. Continue to use full torque values with it.

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    These are through first round of production and are out at ano. We note this as "3 weeks" internally, so take that for what you will. Nobody wants them in stock as much as we do, I promise. FOR THOSE HAVING SCREW LOOSENING ISSUES - Our suggestions: 1) Be sure you're using the supplied...

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    Send me a PM, or email Craig(at)Area419(dot)com - we have had a couple guys talk about an issue with 36, but have not been able to pin down what it is. If there's some issue with the scope cap screws holding, that's a great thing to be added here. Regardless, happy to trade the mount out for a...

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    Send me a photo of what you're talking about. Seems like there may be something going on with the ACRO mount (if it's one of ours, and I've not missed some context). Can throw in the chat here, or PM me, or email, maybe even a carrier pigeon? Your call.

    Area419 - The ULTIMATE TEST - 2025 Big Boy Precision Optic Shootout

    We didn't sell any optics at all for many years. We decided to sell them again for two reasons - 1) Making rings and mounts, it's logical, and 2) We started with them because we thought this new Kahles was crazy and would move quickly. You'll see us, over the course of the next 6 months, add a...

    Area419 - The ULTIMATE TEST - 2025 Big Boy Precision Optic Shootout

    The internet loves to stand in a circle and chant "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT" though I much prefer the idea of "GET BETTER, GET BETTER, GET BETTER" I'm in when you are, I'll drink extra coffee for your midnight stream.

    Area419 - The ULTIMATE TEST - 2025 Big Boy Precision Optic Shootout

    If there's something you've done in this style that I'd overlooked, by all means that's on me. I'll email you though, I have another one in mind that I might pick your brain about, VERY much in your wheelhouse. I'm sure SnipersHide will hate it, but I think it could be cool.

    One Piece Scope Mounts ..What do you use?

    That's correct, this is for the base/rail connection, NOT the caps. The caps are still listed (and will continue to be listed) at 18 in-lb, though if you use the 20 in-lb Fix-It Stick you'll not hurt anything.

    One Piece Scope Mounts ..What do you use?

    When we cycle through the packaging. Initially when we made the mounts we set a lower number to be conservative. Over ongoing testing and abuse, the 45in-lb number gives greater security with no downside. We make rolling improvements, however small, on products constantly. It's actually...

    Area 419 Micrometer Adjustable Sizing Dies

    To clarify, the S-Series dies adjust the same as any other common die on the market. Screw it in a little more or less, and you can adjust. Of course we think a solution like our Modular Shellholder kit with headspace adjustment in the inserts is ideal, or something like the Redding...

    One Piece Scope Mounts ..What do you use?

    Nope, the fastners are all T20. Interested to know where you saw the T25 so I can correct it.

    Email me images of what you're talking about, if possible. I'm curious as to what you have going on here. Craig(at)Area419(dot)com

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    Aluminum oxide, while quite hard, does not build into a shell, rather stays in a very fine form without meaningful structure. Bare aluminum builds a surface oxide layer almost instantly when raw aluminum is exposed to oxygen.

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    So I stumbled across something this week - acetone is fine, and does a decent job, but WD-40 is what you really want. If you get aluminum transfer, wipe it off with WD-40, then degrease, and it's a brand new optic. Absolute magic.
