    Vortex 1-10

    I'll out myself... Yesterday I was shooting an OG Aluminum-Lithium Hodge AU Mod 2 gun fitted with a new Geissele CHF heavy barrel (which is a fucking laser BTW!). On top was a Schmidt Dual CC. Fuckin' peak bouge circa 2019. Even for what I paid for that once-unobtainium gun and stupid...

    6ARC gas systems and A5 buffer systems and factory ammo...what's the baseline?

    Yeah...ya gotta watch out for that. Sometimes I like to read the AI for a laugh myself.

    FUBAR times 6!

    It's the horror stories like this that lead to idiotic policies like we had: "Only the OEM can rebarrel your gun"

    6ARC gas systems and A5 buffer systems and factory ammo...what's the baseline?

    This is correct. The chart is flawed. The “h” refers to the number of tungsten weights be it 0-4.

    6ARC gas systems and A5 buffer systems and factory ammo...what's the baseline?

    Well, the lock back issue was not gas system related but in relation to the Geissele follower and my catch. I will not be going any lower or lighter…if anything I’ll bump things up and see

    Vortex 1-10

    The least they could do is put it on a KAC if they’re going to peddle them like that. As Pappy said, just pay for the ZCO and have a decent optic.

    Vortex 1-10

    The optics of the K16i Kahles are close but at nearly 2x the price and their fucked up reticles, the Gen 2 is an easier call. Honestly we shouldn't have to hope they keep it as there's obviously still a place for this type of optic, and honestly it pisses me off nobody's out there tryin' to...

    Vortex 1-10

    IMHO, this for the price is the reason the Gen 2 is still relevant. Maybe only Kahles and SAI 1-6's are in the conversation of eye box and FOV and only the Vortex and Kahles have that "edges disappear" akin to a red dot. 100% why my close-quarters setup now has a Kahles Helia 1-5x24. I'd...

    6ARC gas systems and A5 buffer systems and factory ammo...what's the baseline?

    There was a fella that did a whole bunch of high-speed camera work showing the merits of the A5 system in various guns and his vids with the HK416 and the A5h4 are what sold me on the idea. I very much would like to see the same on the Surefire done in the same fashion...and with various...

    Rifle Scopes LEO sniper in need of new glass.

    Dude had a lot of people here snowed for quite a while... "The fool or the fool who follows....?" That's one where being an untrusting cynic paid off.

    Rifle Scopes Official Zero Compromise Optic News & Updates

    Commendable for giving a brother a chance...especially after seeing some clownshoes pricebump stuff from a different vendor this morning.

    Rifle Scopes Official Zero Compromise Optic News & Updates

    Initially, I picked the HTR because it was the least shitty of the 3 and the closest to what I like in a reticle style/layout. I get why some would opt for the DMR, but it's not my cup o' tea and though it's a great optic, I'm not sure I'd have taken it if it were just the DMR I actually have...

    6ARC gas systems and A5 buffer systems and factory ammo...what's the baseline?

    Funny you mention that, I just got a promo email today in that Primaryarms(maybe) is selling the Surefire BCG's again...even though they looked like they were gone for quite a while and not talked about. I remember there was the AROC that had it's own proprietary extension while the Optimized...

    6ARC gas systems and A5 buffer systems and factory ammo...what's the baseline?

    factory 108 and 105. I don't reload I might try an A5h0 eventually for grins; however, this is just fine for the time being getting use to this gun/cartridge. I also don't have the utmost faith in short, stubby mags anyways compared to their standard capacity counterparts and sheer spring...

    6ARC gas systems and A5 buffer systems and factory ammo...what's the baseline?

    Well... A5H1 w/ milspec rifle spring on the Rifle +1 18" seems to good, but approaching the line. 120 rounds deep and 0 failures to cycle but only 1 failure to hold the bolt open (shooting mostly 5-shot strings) with an 8 round Geissele out 15+ lock backs and I was alternating between a...
