    All in one AR - need advice

    Re: All in one AR - need advice Good deal, Ill dig around and see what I can find on the 6.5. Reckon magazines would be hard to come by, or by some odd chance would they use the same mags. Do I have it right that once I move away from an upper/caliber combo that will feed through the mag well...

    Suppressors Glock front sight question

    Re: Glock front sight question Ive got a 21sf and have noticed the same thing. It looks like you would have to have a paper thin wall socket to get ahold of the little bolt head under the slide. Reckon its possible that they designed the bolt head to seat against the slide on one flat to keep...

    All in one AR - need advice

    I am trying to take maximum advantage of the fact that you can just swap uppers on an AR15 and have a whole different animal. Ive got the standard 5.56 setup but I aint sure which would be a wise choice for another upper of a different caliber for the occasional 1000yd shot or when more...

    best piston ar15 upper

    Re: best piston ar15 upper If I had the funds to get a LWRC or a POF I'd be all over it, instead I just got an Adams Arms kit for my m4gery and it works fine just fine, And if little green martians attack tomorrow and my piston system brakes I can just put the old parts back on, seeing how I...

    Rifle Scopes spotting scopes.

    Re: spotting scopes. Another +1 on the USO spotter. I am one of the "ones" that has a hard time with the eye relief but I got a fellow hide member"AOD" to hook me up, I brought him the eye piece and a short piece of aluminum tubing and he put some threads on it to match the inside of the eye...

    Rifle Scopes USO SPOTTER & EYE RELIEF?

    Re: USO SPOTTER & EYE RELIEF? I took the scope to the shop and couldnt quite get a fix on the thread pitch, but I just got off the phone with USO and they told me that the thread pitch is (1.775 x 32) if this helps anybody out that wants to make an extension. I am going to take a stab at it.

    Too much powder

    Re: Too much powder I made a similar goof one day and overcharged a couple of cases but I didnt know about it till the first one went over the chronograph at which point I said "Holy Crap, That was fast!", Come to find out I goofed setting the scale. Ever since then I am FULLY aware of what I...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Optics Durability is Awsome

    Re: Nightforce Optics Durability is Awsome +1, I sent mine in to get the reticle changed and added the zero stop- the whole process was slick as glass and they were extremely helpful with all of my questions. Its great to know that when you plop that kinda money down on a scope that you have...

    Re: USO SPOTTER & EYE RELIEF? MUCH OBLIGED on the all the response. I am glad to see thats its not just mine that works this way. I might just take my eyepiece to the shop tonight and see if I can make an extension to make it easier to use. I kind of like the idea of a mocked up rifle stock...

    Rifle Scopes USO SPOTTER & EYE RELIEF?

    Ive been playing around with my new USO spotter and the eye relief on this thing is not like any other spotting scope I have ever used. It might be me but it seems like you have to hold your head about 3-4 inches behind the scope and perfectly centered or you wont get squat for a sight picture...

    Re: Recommend a good 1 piece cleaning rod.

    Re: Density Altitude how-to, I got this right? Lindy, I went to the JBM page that you listed and put in all my numbers and I got some really strange outputs in the trajectory card. So I went back and read all of the small "?"'s beside each input and made sure I had put the right numbers in...

    I have been searching/reading about making drop cards with DA, and I have made myself a "Barney style" checklist to work some up. I need to know if I an missing something before I get started.

    Re: BUIS not jeehawing, could use some help. It seems to be holding a decent group. I didnt shoot the rifle untill I had already installed the piston system. When I installed the new barrel nut I torqued it to 60 ft/lbs, because everything I read said start from 30-50 lbs and turn it untill...

    Re: BUIS not jeehawing, could use some help. The sights are tight, thats one of the first things I checked, and Im not positive but I think the ammo is 55gr, It looks to be nato of some origin, its definitely not high grade stuff. It came with the rifle in the deal. I checked Yankee hills...
