    Area 419 Micrometer Adjustable Sizing Dies

    Oh, never saw this to respond. @JSW2000 noted that it IS hard contact with the die/shellholder. Also, the mandrels are interchangeable to different diameters so you can set different neck tensions.

    Area 419 Micrometer Adjustable Sizing Dies

    Correct, we are not making and do not plan to do bushings. We think a single-piece sizing body is a better option. And if someone gets upset about that position, it's really ok. There are other options that provide this.

    Area 419 Zero Press vs SCA Nexus Press

    Screw your die in a little further. We note this specifically in die setup videos but it is often overlooked. TO INSTALL: 1) Ram in the up position 2) Screw die all the way down 3) Drop the ram 4) Screw in 1/4 additional turn And then size. This should get you very close to where you need to...

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    At the rail? No. Though it makes it mostly irrelevant as the mounting surface for the optic is aligned by the bridge between ring sections. So the whole mount can be off, but the mounting surfaces for the optic will remain true to one another and keep stress out of the connection.

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    Here, check this out. I talk about what I mean in the video. Basically you want the rings as true to the optics as possible before mounting (via wet mount) to the pic rail so the rings don't settle out of square on pic. Pic is great because things can attach so easily, but pic is not tightly...

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    In general, it comes down to rigidity and straightness (regardless of brand). If you're attaching to a platform that may not be perfectly true (factory rifles with aftermarket/screw-on pic rails) or super rigid (aluminum AR uppers) then you may be better off with the one-piece setup. If...

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    If some of the raw aluminum has transferred to the optic (which is common) a little iso alcohol or acetone on a cloth removes it easily. Also, thank you for the kind words @DeathBeforeDismount - anonymous person that I'm unsure I've ever met. You're right though, Dave is absolutely a better...

    Has anyone else found the Area 419 Zero Reloading Press Secret Accessory Primer Prison Pocket (A419 ZRPSAPPP)?

    Attorney says I can't promise to stuff your holes online, so I wont. Though he did say I could leave the hole there but close it up on one side and act like it's not there, it's more woke. So that's what we will do. Ok, back to spending my days doing awesome shit, much to the chagrin of...

    Has anyone else found the Area 419 Zero Reloading Press Secret Accessory Primer Prison Pocket (A419 ZRPSAPPP)?

    No, there is not. Again, it's something that negatively impacts a VERY small number of people. If it's a big deal to you, shoot an email to [email protected] and we can change an internal part to block off the chute. You'll have to pack it up, and it may take us a couple days, but we will send...

    Has anyone else found the Area 419 Zero Reloading Press Secret Accessory Primer Prison Pocket (A419 ZRPSAPPP)?

    It can certainly fill - it was intended to. It can also keep a trapped primer or loose debris from digging into the linear bearing. Though I'll keep saying, it's something we've chosen to remove. Rather than doubling down on a design choice that may not have been ideal for everyone, we...

    Has anyone else found the Area 419 Zero Reloading Press Secret Accessory Primer Prison Pocket (A419 ZRPSAPPP)?

    Unless you're using one of our Sizing dies, with the spring-loaded decapping feature built in ;) Earlier this year, maybe March/April? Like a few little changes and "upgrades" to the press over time, we haven't made a big deal on the little iterations. Products can constantly improve without...

    Has anyone else found the Area 419 Zero Reloading Press Secret Accessory Primer Prison Pocket (A419 ZRPSAPPP)?

    Wild thread - but it's for sure there. Well, it was. That hole is on several thousand presses, and was initially there to be a place that gunk could be disposed. "Trash chute" is our internal term. What we have found over time though is that sometimes a primer that is drawn back into the...

    Vectronix Shooting Solutions Terrapin X 42

    Here guys, this will be my last post on this thread, as I’ll focus on the videos and posts on our SM pages. The 6-bino shootout, in the most fair, representative, open way we could do them. I’ll say, this may have been the most difficult to make video we’ve done, simply because of the amount...

    They are both frames from that video. One (the small one) had gone through a FB messenger compression. Nice catch, I thought I had exactly the same file both ways. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Vectronix Shooting Solutions Terrapin X 42

    Our unit is a pre-production. The only expected differences in ours and serial production though are in the laser. Ours is Euro spec (weaker, by law), is not perfectly centered on the etched reticle (they had to make the pre-pro run before building the alignment tool) and the internal laser...

    They are uniquely blue. As I've said like 15 times in this thread, EVERYTHING has a film, and they're all some version of blue/gray, that's just how LRF binos work. For most of them, your eye doesn't naturally detect it, as the eye is an AMAZING thing. But one unit is, well, different.
