    AlumaHyde 2 Experiment

    I used some AH II on a suppressor. Looks great, wears fairly well. It even held up to the heat, just discolors after awhile. I did not oven cure it or anything though. Just let it air dry for a few days.

    What’s your favorite scope mount?

    I have 3 different Area 419 mounts and will slowly transition all of my scopes to them eventually.

    10 second showdown

    7 always kicked my ass because of the kneeling. Bad knees. Was my hardest string every time.

    10 second showdown

    I'll try this the next time I'm at the range. I did the original FAMQ in 3/4 time when I was still shooting a lot. But I took a class from Steve Silverman to show me how to shoot pistols a long damn time ago.

    Recommend a suppressor for 6.5 CM and 338LM.

    I have an OCL Hydrogen L 6.5 for my CM and am using an AB Raptor 10 .338 with the reflex chamber in a 300 PRC until I break down and get a 338. The Hydrogen on the 6.5 is stupidly quiet. I am shocked by it. The Raptor on the 300 is amazing. I am a huge fan of their cans right now. I’ve...

    Suppressors Which HUB mount

    Everything not Surefire that I own is in the process of being converted to Area 419 Hellfire. Other than the 2 AB Raptors because I love the reflex portion.

    Calypso AB Mini Ultrasonic Wind Meter

    100% agree. A plug has got to be cheaper than that freaking wireless charging. If it was magnetic it might be better. But I still would rather have a plug. And whoever decided it didn’t need an off switch needs beaten with a pool noodle.

    Suppressors Baffle erosion DT vs brake

    The Area 419 Hellfire, which is what I’m converting my bolt guns over to, has an O ring that seems to make it fairly impossible to come loose. Something for me to keep an eye on in the future though. I use Surefire Brakes on all of my ARs. I originally used them in my bolt guns too but there...

    AB Quantum 3.4.4 Vector X, Max Ord, Max Ord Range, Trace & Dialed Elevation Tool.

    At this point AB Q will not act as a bridge. I truly love AB but there are some pretty severe limitations so far.

    Best 34mm precision scope mount

    Another vote for Area 419. They are my go to moving forward. I have 2 of the their regular 1 piece, 1 of them in 34mm on an ATACR 7-35, the other 30mm on an NX8 4-32 and 1 of the cantilevered in 30mm on an ATACR 4-16, all 3 with their diving boards.

    Suppressors Over the barrel suppressors

    I have an OCL OCM5 and 2 AB Raptor 10s with the reflex chamber. I am a huge fan of both of them. I really like the reflex design, both because the overall length added is less and because it gives a lot more room for the gas to go. 1 of the Raptors I have has the 5" reflex and it looks...

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    I have a brand new Scythe STM that needs one of the new ones. My other 3 are amazing.

    Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF

    Here is the 2k on the Sphur and Sphur diving board. But I had to use a riser to get it up and forward enough to clear the turrets well enough on an ATACR 7.35.

    New build for Night Vision

    I have 2 civi MAWLs and they are excellent. I cannot honestly say I would change anything about them. Not even make them full power, as inside of realistic night shooting distances they already tend to bloom. FP would be even worse. I have 1 Iris 3. For the price, I’ll only get these moving...

    Rifle Scopes LPVO or Red dot/magnifier for SBR

    For me it depends on the intended use. My NVG dedicated guns I tend to put a red dot or Eotech on. Those are just far easier to get behind with NODs for passive aiming. If I don’t have an IR laser on it, it’ll have an LPVO.

    New build for Night Vision

    Look at the Unity hub. The DBAL should direct mount to the hub, attach a light wing and mount the entire thing to the 12 rail section on the hand guard. That is what I am doing on my 300 BO and DBAL I2.

    New build for Night Vision

    On my night rifles I have; 5.56 11" SBR, Aimpoint T1 in a Unity mount, MAWL 5.56 12.5" SBR, MRO in a Geissele mount, MAWL 5.56 11.5" SBR, EXPS3.0 and EOTech magnifier, Holosun Iris3 300 BO 9" SBR, XPS3.0 and magnifier in a Unity Riser and FTC mount, DBAL I2 The EOTech is BY FAR the best option...

    Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

    Getting at the least the same functionality with the phone as a Garmin is a must at this point. I understand that the entire system started with using a Garmin and even having a phone was not even really considered. Time has moved on and tech has evolved at this point. Outside of .mil I would...

    Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

    @DocUSMCRetired this is yet another person having issues because AB Q is limited to 1 connection at a time. At this point, it seems like addressing this is more important than adding support for other devices that can only be connected one at a time.
