    Looking for an optic with reticle similar to Elcan Spectre DR or SAI

    Any of the good mil reticles will have ranging, but not necessarily BDC. NF Mil-C and Mil-R come to mind, as does the MSR-2 reticle. On the other hand, Vortex Razor Gen II HD 1-6x has a BDC, but is MOA, so ranging is not so good. ACOG comes to mind, but it is fixed and generally 4x. That is...

    7.62 x 51 gasser, a couple of questions.

    I think you are on the right track. I hate to see great rifles getting thrown around, but all those brands, and FN Scar are built for battle. The Scar is a particular kind of gun. If you are not used to it, you might fall in love with it. Or, you might not. HK is priced high, and often...

    DPMS and AR10 bolt differences?

    Sorry to make you the poster child, but if you are not an armorer, or technical user with lots of experience with different .308 gas guns, building a mix and match is very hard to do. I am not even sure what some brands sell BCGs, as most BCGs are specific to a receiver and/or barrel receiver...

    Mk 12 build advice

    Agree. As a builder of Mk12 rifles, not sure why you even are buying an SPR profiled barrel. The SPR profile is made to accept Ops, Inc. / Allen Engineering brake and collar to fit the AEM5 suppressor. If you are not wanting to shoot a Mk12, why try to change it. But, one thing I would say...

    Knight M4 Front sight

    You are looking for very hard to get items. There are sources out there, but you will pay. Shark has some hooks into surplus, and he is hit or miss, but a good source when he has them. We buy these at close to retail right now for our Mk12 and other builds, so if you want the sight, you are...

    Noveske .308 barrel

    Should work. The only possibility is the outer diameter of barrel extension being too large. If I recall MM is 1.190" and a standard extension is 1.200". If you have an issue, you can probably thermofit or have the extension cut down a smidge. As for the ridiculous WA state law that will...

    Muzzle Brake Options for 6.5CM

    Cadex has the MX1 mini for 6.5 CM, and hard to beat for performance and price.

    Bought a new Machiavelli custom action & used Horus w/Tremor 2 reticle

    All I have to say, is: wow. That is a specialty combination, for sure.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 2.5-10 or Leica Magnus 1.5-10

    ^^^ this. Personally, I think the glass is similar. Some prefer the Leica, and who I am to argue. Nightforce is clearly going to win on durability. I like NF better for tactical turrets, but that is a personal thing. Same with reticles. I think NF has some of the best selection of smartly...

    A more quiet suppressor on a 50 BMG rifle ?

    CGS .50 cal KERES is darn good.

    Spuhr SP-4001 - Discontinued?

    We have one in stock. Looks like it arrived a few months back and has not made it to the Website.

    Mk12 mod 0 in 6mm ARC

    I think you are trying too hard to put a round peg into a square hole. You did not mention running suppressed, but that is an entirely different set of issues. I like the idea of a 6 ARC on a Mk 12, for sure. As a builder of Mk12 riles, I would personally see that as a possibility, but given...

    March 5-40x56 vs sightron 5-40x56

    I think it is going to be a hard comparison. Pick the reticle you like and whether you want the heavier scope with great travel, or the one that has easier to find quality rings. We are a dealer for both. I had to come to terms with just how good the Sightron is, given their very average...

    Gunsmithing Suggestions for barrel/part engraving

    Also, FWIW, we send out large batch etching and engraving to a talented guy. We don’t do enough to justify the fiber laser, but there are plenty of shops providing great service. Commercially, we try not to do it all, but leverage highly skilled shops for all kinds of specialty work.

    Talk to me, Goose..

    I am confused. Are you talking about a .308 or 6.5 CM ? We do a lot of work with .308, and I would have to see your research to support a 1:8 twist.

    Is a NEW Tikka T3x stainless action & trigger worth $985?

    Yes, that is worth it. Tikka makes good actions. By comparison, the Cadex equivalent, which is probably a little better, is over $1,500 in Left Hand.

    Gunsmithing Suggestions for barrel/part engraving

    Not sure if this is FFL engraving, but pretty sure the barrel engraving is no longer an option, other than caliber.

    Talk to me, Goose..

    sounds like you have done a lot of thinking. I am not a fan of the gas block > 0.75" on a gas gun. If you are sticking with .308, 1.20" is fine at the extension. I like BAT extensions and Douglas or Criterion barrels. Most of my 7.62 NATO shooting is with 168 or 175 gr. with 1:11.25" twist...

    Thread adapter for SF Socom - best practices

    Yes, that is the information I got from Surefire this morning. I did not know they discontinued the SR25 version. They did mention that the .338 brake is offered in 3/4-24. I would measure the barrel, and have the barrel rethreaded, before doing any adapters for thread pitch. We get 7.62...

    Aics chassis fitment

    Okay, Mk13 clone builder here. I assume you mean Mod 7. We are working on an AI action that looks close. I would still use Stiller action and Lilja barrel and AICS mags. I like Bergara, but it I would be cringe for a Mk 13 faux clone.
