    Rifle Scopes LightWeight Optic-update to OP

    I am working on a project to build a LIGHT WEIGHT 7.62 gas gun. Emphasis on the weight as in trying to shave every ounce possible off of the weapon. That being said, I have just started looking into the optic and am interested in any suggestions anyone might offer. This is envisioned as a 600...

    Suppressors INTRAstate move of NFA items

    So I am going to be moving within state (intra and not inter) to a new city. I have several registered NFA items. I called NFA Branch and asked for the Statute or Regulation that spells out the notification requirements. I spoke to two "specialists" who both used words like "we like to know"...

    Night Vision DBAL draining batteries

    My DBAL drains the battery when sitting stored. At first, I would leave the selector turned to visible laser and it ran through a couple of batteries. So I then started turning the selector to off but it still runs a new battery completely out in a week or two. Is this normal? Is the unit always...

    Vault Room

    I tried "search" so, if my Google Fu is weak, I apologize in advance. Does anyone have, or know where to find, information on building a NON-BASEMENT vault room? I just bought a new home and there is a large closet that I am wanting to convert to a walk-in safe/vault. Everything I have found...

    Gunsmithing Baffle Strike! Help!

    So I built up an 11.5" SBR with a 11" LaRue rail. Great looking rifle but when I installed the SureFire flashhider/suppressor adapter I found that it set back just far enough to keep the locking ring on the can from engaging. I read the SureFire manual where it said IN BOLD to not use a crush...

    Night Vision Mounting DBAL on side instead of top

    Any issues with mounting a DBAL on the side rail instead of on top? I'm only interested in shooting out to 150 meters max with the laser so I'm not concerned with long range trajectory issues.

    Front QD sling point

    I am looking for a front QD sling mount but, and here's the hard part, I don't want the typical mount point that slides on a rail. After going through the phase of putting enough rail space on my rifles to mount every accessory under the sun I have finally come around to realize that I don't...

    Gunsmithing FSB in Bushy piston ?

    Does anyone know if the FSB/gas block in the BushMaster piston uppers is the same as in DI uppers? Or is it proprietary to the design? I have a piston upper, never fired, and I want to convert from the fixed front to a low profile so I can put an extended railed hand guard on it that extends...

    DI vs Piston in a suppressed SBR

    I have a registered SBR lower and am planning to put together an upper for it strictly as my home defense rifle. As it turns out, I have two identical 11.5" barreled flat top uppers on hand. They are identical except one is DI and one is a short stroke piston set up. As they sit, they have old...

    Night Vision DBAL vs PEQ15?

    I swear that I tried Search and Advanced Search several times. I can't believe this hasn't been hashed out time and time again but... What's the primary differences between the DBAL and the PEQ15? I have a PVS14 and am looking for the ability to engage within 300 meters. I am aware of the...

    M110 replacement?

    Looks like the Army is already looking to replace the KAC M110. Didn't this rifle with accessories cost $25K+ per unit or something crazy? Here's a link to the solicitation: https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&...re&_cview=0

    Dial in/Hold Over at diff magnification

    Relative to Dial Ins (i.e. 1.25 up at 200 yds): If I work out my bullet drops using a 15X scope and then switch out to a 10X scope, will my dial ins remain the same? I ask because I recently attended a school and used a buddy's NF 15X optic. Now I am switching back to a NF 10X. Both are 1/4...
