    Anyone else have a problem seeing the click values on the elevation knob? Probably no solution but to dab a little white paint on zero. And better contacts.

    How far should an AR 308 throw brass?

    Just curious on how far a AR 308 should throw brass (in general)? I have a couple MA TEN builds and was wondering how to judge this? I realize it makes little difference if everything works reliably. Mostly looking for a fine tuning guide.

    Gunsmithing Live round stuck in chamber ~ AR 10

    OK. Make a long story short(er). MAT Ten build (DPMS) had 18" mid gas that would pop primers on Black Hills, Nosler Match and extractor gashes on most all. Installed PRI adjustable gas block, turn down gas and still problems with primers but the gas blocked helped a little. Fast Forward. Got new...

    I recently upgraded my Rem 5R to an AICS and Viperskins. Two questions: 1. Anyone know of a flat/flush screw for those without the side rails (Viperskin issue). 2. The other AICS that I have seen pics of did not have this metal piece on the end that the bipod spigot connects to. The other...

    Rifle Scopes 1.0 vs 1.1 vs 1.5

    Having a Trijicon TR24 with 1x4 I am familiar with a true 1x. What are the major drawbacks of scopes with 1.1x or 1.5x on the low side? Are there any situations that one could not live with or use that the 1x provides? Really just want to know if it is a big deal or not. thanks
