    Scope dope

    My first iteration of DopeTokens (copyright) was mainly geared towards two of my gas guns but I made some for the longer range crowd too that might stretch things a bit farther. Spacing's a bit tighter, especially on the 1 1/2" token but manageable I think, hey, you get what you pay for lol...

    Proportionate scope rings

    I don't qualify a mount based on weight or appearance but can it accomplish the task, does it have a good track record, and is it available in the height I'm looking for? My short list for rings/mounts is Nightforce, Badger Ordnance, Seekins Precision, Vortex, and Warne. There's some overlap...

    Magpul DT-PR Stock

    I can tell you from using the Vltor E-Mod, Magpul CTR, SL, SL-S, PRS Lite, Bravo B5, and BCM SOPMOD Mod 1 on accurized AR-15's, I'm liking this one a lot. As I mentioned before, my CTR locks up tighter but the amount of movement I'm talking about is a fore and aft movement of about .020", which...

    Scope dope

    Damn, that's good, I didn't think of those.

    Scope dope

    I don’t know, I didn’t like any of them, hence this thread. lol

    Scope dope

    I've been making a couple revisions to my SPR and SPRecce, one of which is keeping some dope on the inside of the ocular covers again as a fall back option. In the past, I'd use some masking tape but this time I thought I'd make something "fancy". I know there are commercial options available...

    Magpul DT-PR Stock

    I got my DT PR in today and played around with it a little bit this evening. Weight wise, it's nice, 10.8 oz out of the box and with the 1/2" CTR riser it's 12.3 oz, this the same weight as the BCM stock w/ a home brew cheek riser that it's replacing. It's also the same overall length and...

    Gunsmithing Crown Damage

    It's always something stupid like that lol. I never would've thought of the gas tube.

    Armalite Tech Notes

    I found some more Tech Notes and added them to the file.

    20" 556 vs 224v

    No, I'd still go with a 5.56 gun.

    20" 556 vs 224v

    For informal gas gun matches I'd go with 5.56. It's cheaper, there's a wider ammo selection, and options are coming out now that start to close the capability gap.

    Gunsmithing Crown Damage

    Have you tried shooting it without the muzzle device? I went through a similar issue years ago where I had a configuration that was shooting lights out until one day it wasn't. I was getting ready for a match and my groups opened up big time and it was very frustrating and disheartening...

    Help with a AR scatter gun

    In fairness, it's a clone of a military rifle hitting the military standard for accuracy, it's "mil-spec". The military standard for zeroing is a five shot group within a 4 MOA circle at 25 meters and at 50 yards 2" is right in that 4 MOA wheelhouse so the gun is technically fine. That...

    Delta 14 - AR15 take down pins?

    Don’t waste your money, any company that is telling you that taking the slack out of the receivers improves accuracy is selling you bullshit. It might make you feel better about the rifle when it’s solid and doesn’t rattle but that’s as far as it goes. It’s hardly the first product to help...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    If one were looking for a way to fill out their d-box, Birchwood Casey has looped handgun cleaning brushes. They come in a tube of 3, one of the local gunshops had them so I bought a pack. Put two 45 degree bends into it and crush the loop and you have a decent analog. Fair Dinkum...

    JB’s Bore Paste & ARs

    I think there are plenty of guys that have used it with their AR's and at one time I think Armalite even recommended it for their break in procedure. I don't think it's necessary though and it would probably be pretty easy to mess it up and trash a barrel that's otherwise pretty good. For...
