    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I go through the ARs I compete with and replace cam pins, firing pin retainers and this year I decided to change buffer springs. My main competition rifle is five years old and though it only has about 3500 rounds in it I figured why not. Main rifles have mil spec carbine receiver extensions...

    Red Dot 30mm ring caps for Badger or Nightforce 30mm rings - do they exist?

    I have been searching to find a replacement ring cap for the Badger Ordnance or Nightforce 30mm rings. Not the one piece mounts, the older rings. I’d like to put 90* dots on my mk12s and I have come up short. The 32mm objective (circumference larger than 1.3”) of NXS compact prevents use of...

    AEM5K - anyone have one yet?

    Not clone correct but has anyone gotten their hands on the AEM5K yet? I think it might fit the RECCE a little better. Would be 2” shorter with the K can. I kicked around doing the AEM2 or 3 for the RECCe build but I didn’t want another 14.5” so I kept the 2.5” spacing. This can seems to fill the...

    Why aren’t we seeing development of Grendel Case bolt/barrel extensions?

    With the recent popularity of the ARC, and its adoption outside of NRA Match Rifle highpower shooting, I have to wonder why we have not seen any new designs around strengthening the bolt and barrel extension. It would seem to me reducing the number of lugs, and maybe changing some of the...

    Had to transition to Irons weak hand to get hits

    Noticed something odd during a night 2 gun this week. One stage had us engage 5 , 5x5 plates strong hand only from driver seat of a Jeep, then both hands from under the Jeep, then weak hand only from the hood using the engine for cover. Targets were maybe 10 yards away. I couldn’t hit shit...

    Navy Mk12 RECCE with AEM3 anyone have one?

    Had anyone built a Navy mk12 RECCE with the shorter AEM3? I’m about to build another rifle, and I have the KAC rail, and I think a Badger gas manifold on the way (haven’t gotten shipping confirmation) but I already have a Mod0, and still currently have a ModH that’s going to my Son in Law, so...

    Can a 2011 be modified to be field reliable?

    With the recent explosion of 2011 pistols, I am curious if there is a strategy of making these pistols field reliable while maintaining decent accuracy? These seems to run on the ragged edge of spring strength for cycling, the 1911 style trigger seems to be a failure point for grit/silt...

    2024 TENET Midnight Madness Night Run and Gun. My Journey to The Finish Line.

    A few weeks ago, I attended what I expect to be the first annual TENET Midnight Madness Night Run and Gun. A charity event ran on behalf of the family of CPT. Trevor Graves (5th SFG, Ret.), who was a plank holder of the now “infamous “Legion Memorial match, (really a weekend of events more than...

    Which Red Dot for Pistol, NV compatible.

    After last weeks night 2gun I have finally come to the conclusion that I need to at least properly try a pistol red dot. The irons were just too hard to align on 5”x5” flippers under a flashlight. I have a couple RMRs piggybacked in URGI-ish builds and I like them enough for that but I am...

    RMR height at 12 on Reptilia AUS 34mm 1.54” mount?

    Anyone running a Reptilia RMR front ring cap on a 34mm AUS or Geissele 1.54” mount? If so, do you know the red dot height? Same question with a 1.7” mount. Trying to decide what mount I want to move the G3 1-10 into. Currently it’s in a 1.93 Badger, but I think I want the scope a little lower.

    2011 mags in 3.25” ESSTAC pouches?

    I run ESSTAC 3.25” double pouches on my kit for the limited competitions that I attend. They work flawlessly with Glock 17 mags, but I’m thinking of trying a DS 1911 next year., at least starting to ring it out late this year to see if it’s worth the trouble. On to the question(s): Is anyone...

    Vara Reach for vehicle use

    Has anyone tried the Vara Reach or Reach 2S for a securing a pistol in a vehicle? I front pocket carry and there is no way I can draw seated. I’d like to be able to put a full size in the car and leaving it loose until I part doesn’t really appeal to be. I’ve seen what happens to shit that’s...
