    Rifle Scopes ACOG fiber optic top "stripe" visible to the "enemy"?

    Its not an issue, as others have said, it doesn't give your position away, its a piece of fiber optic, it gathers ambient light. Know that if you do place tape over it, it will effectively lower or turn down the seen illumination in the reticle. This is helpful in bright daylight conditions when...

    Gatorz or Oakley sunglasses?

    I sent your snowflake up and spoke with the owners about your issue. While they don't recall it specifically, they did say that they regret that the problem wasn't resolved to your liking. They also said that they are willing to make things right with you, if you choose to do so. If you do, let...

    Another AR-15 trigger question

    Since it was mentioned and it is something worth commenting on, the install of the Hiperfire line of triggers is extremely easy to do and doesn't require any disassembly other than removing the original trigger from the lower. Their website has several well done videos showing an install in...

    Another AR-15 trigger question

    No, the break is very crisp IMO. There is very little/no slack/take up before the break. The difference between models is defined by the mfgr in the picture but having both the 24E and the 243G the difference is like splitting hairs same goes for the reset. I run the lightest springs in both of...

    Another AR-15 trigger question

    This is one of the triggers I also got to play with in my post above. Not impressed with it at all honestly and I also expressed my disbelief at the $500 price tag. I was told that the owner of the company stated that they price their triggers at that price because the people who can fire the...

    Another AR-15 trigger question

    You should try the 243G then, its basically the 24c but with a traditional trigger shoe. I'm running one and it's the bee's knees. As an aside, I know everyone tends to promote the item(s) they use or bought over others, its human nature. However, I was at an AR manufacturers(as opposed to...

    Discreet backpacks for an SBR in urban environments?

    +2 for modifying and using a civilian bag. All these "low profile" bags with the huge price tags don't fool anyone,even with the color schemes they use. They just don't look like normal bags, especially to gun savvy people.

    Which Head to Use Manfrotto 055 Tri Pod w Hog Saddle

    Any of the recommendations for heads from the HOG website are good to go. The weight ratings the mfgr gives tends to be on the low side, many here use the heads mentioned with heavy guns with no issue.

    Look at the Hiperfire 24E or the 243G depending on your needs. HIPERFIRE® - High Performance Firearm Accessories

    Gatorz or Oakley sunglasses?

    Can you please elaborate more on this? I have been wearing Liquids for a very long time and I have NEVER heard of this happening, this sounds like what happens to Gatorz. You would have to physically bend them at the frame to get them to break. Did you fail to follow the included instructions on...

    Gunsmithing Good twist rate for a 18 inch barrel 308?

    That length and that bullet weight a 1:10 twist rate will do you nicely. Give it 5 minutes and someone else might come along and tell you something different, but it works fine for me.

    Gatorz or Oakley sunglasses?

    I would also point out that the Gatorz ARE NOT a safety glass/ANSI certified lens. Where as Liquid's glasses are ANSI rated, as are the oakleys you are also considering.

    This is how the one I have is set up but using 1/2 tubular nylon that can go from a 2 point to a one point, bungee insert, 1ea directional adjustment for length, QD attachment. I look forward to seeing what the carbine FTW looks like.

    Rifles Only FTW Sling! Update New Video/8-22-14

    I'm going to have to pick one of these up. I have a sling that has some of the same features on it as this one and it's fantastic on my carbine. It obviously doesn't have the arm cuff feature or the second adjustment point at the fore end of the sling but seeing what the FTW has, I can tell that...

    Gatorz or Oakley sunglasses?

    Gatorz are not made in the USA anymore, the company was sold and they took their stuff overseas. However, the original owner and designer of Gatorz started a new company called Liquid Eyewear. Far better quality aluminum frames and 100% made in the USA and they do prescriptions. I've been...

    Looking to build an SBR

    PWS's prices for complete guns is outlandishly high, as are some of their pieces/parts IMO. Just look at what they cahrge for their precision rifle in a KRG chassis, it's ludicrious. Don't get me wrong, they have some nice stuff but I think they are smoking crack in some respects. There are...

    Looking to build an SBR

    I'd suggest you build a pistol while you wait for your paperwork to catch up, thats just me though. In doing that, get the SIG arm brace, its a buttstock for all practical purposes. Pick up a KAK, a PWS or a Phase 5 pistol extension tube. The lower can be any of the ones mentioned so far. I'd...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Fireclean or Froglube?

    Pretty good review but it's too bad FIREClean wasn't evaluated as well. While tests like these can be informative, I take them with a grain of salt and prefer to go with how a product actually works on firearms and in the field.
