    Trijicon SRO issue

    I have a relatively new SRO 5 MOA that has intermittent dot issues. Curious if anyone else has had a similar problem that might be a simple fix before sending it off to Trijicon. Mounted on a Sig P320 with a PMM dual port comp. I mounted it to the factory slide RMR mount. Screws are torqued...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I have LVR and CFE along with other powders. I have been following this thread for a while. I'm going to start load workup soon and just wanted to double check here to see if any other powders were doing better. It's interesting to see the differences in data for Sierra and Hornady. Thanks...

    some ban era goodness

    My first AR was that exact 16" Bushmaster HBAR. I put 12,000 rounds through it, sold the upper and the lower still lives on paired with my MK12ish build

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    So what is the powder everyone seems to have settled on for the 108 grain loads? I am about ready to start loading for mine. I finally have depleted the factory ammo I bought for barrel break in and learning the platform a little more. I see AR comp for the 90ish grain loads. I am sitting on a...

    5.56 AR reloading: Can Anyone ID what would cause these weird triangle shaped scrape marks/dents just below the shoulder?

    Remember the bolt speed is much faster when it cycles than pulling it by hand. Try the deflector pad or soft sided velcro to see if it helps. If not you know its the extension and normal operation.

    5.56 AR reloading: Can Anyone ID what would cause these weird triangle shaped scrape marks/dents just below the shoulder?

    It's hitting the barrel extension on the way out. This thing called the ejector is pushing the brass towards the ejection port side as the extractor is holding onto the rim while the bolt moves backwards. Sometimes the extension can be sharp on the ends of the lugs where the bolt locks into...

    We had a girl at my office that looked like that. We called her Halibut because she was flat on both sides.

    Now they can repeal gun laws and enact National Constitutional Carry

    They won't do shit. If they did pass that or the hearing act they would have one less thing to raise reelection money and get votes. They like to keep us angry so we vote their way.

    AR Upper & Lower Fitment & Accuracy

    My 18" AR in 5.56 has a small amount of slop between the upper and lower. It is not much but it is there and allows the upper to rock side to side. I found that shooting from the bench with normal bipod load and no loading anywhere else, the groups open up slightly. If I grip and give a little...

    Post death of family member questions

    My dads birthday is on the 29th and the SS payments came on the 30th every month. SO maybe that is not 100% accurate? I do not doubt you, but it is not correct for his payment schedule and birthdate.

    Post death of family member questions

    Yes it certainly sucks and being blindsided with a lot of this doesn't make it any easier. I'll share what I learn along the way to try and help anyone else that has similar questions or problems. I have not had proper time to mourn either. I had to get back to work because I have 17 people...

    New truck

    My roommate has a Colorado but with the V6. The differential took a shit at 56k. Then the output shaft on the rans took a shit right after. It has some weird electrical issues too. The GM copy of a Tacoma is not anywhere close to a Taco. I was a Toyota Master tech for a long time and laughed at...

    Post death of family member questions

    I am going to wait for the certificates to get here and the "letter" from his employer pension/retirement department. I guess they also offered life insurance through that program, but I have to wait and see what they send me. The only easy part has been dealing with Navy Fed. The girl that...

    Post death of family member questions

    We found his '23 1040 so that helps. I need to look into the probate stuff. I was hoping to avoid this since he really didn't have anything outside of his bank account and a retirement package through his old employer. I contacted Raytheon yesterday and they are supposed to send me a letter with...

    Post death of family member questions

    Sorry I should have mentioned the locations. I am in CA and my sis is on the east coast. My father was in Augusta GA. He was not wealthy at all. I have already been to the funeral home in GA to set up cremation. I do not want to go into details, but he was deceased for many days before they...

    Post death of family member questions

    So my father passed away last week. Currently it is just my sister and I left to deal with everything. I know about needing copies of death certificates and those types of things. I guess I have questions concerning social security and IRS type issues. the SS website says the funeral home...

    Rifle Scopes 4x ACOG and twitchy feel

    Maybe because the rifle is slightly lighter with the ACOG over your LVPO and moves a little more?

    A2 sight removal for ocular lens clearance

    The carry handle portion is still going to be there even if you remove the rear sight assembly. Just get a flat top upper from BCM for $60 and swap the parts over. Then you can get the ring height you want and will have plenty of clearance for the optic.
