    Surefire Muzzle Device for Accuracy?

    Knights will tell you their 3 prong FH gets better accuracy than their brake

    Explain how upper lower fit dosent effect accuracy

    I used one .002” thick stainless 1/4” ID washer from McMaster on each side of the upper receiver pivot lug to keep the upper from moving laterally at the front pivot. May not matter much but feels great for the little it costs. Add JP .001 oversized pins and the fit firms up nicely. I also...

    Nightforce Unimount height for 1-8?

    Stag556: Yes the Order was direct. I looked around and didn’t find anything in stock and discounted. I‘ll keep checking. All: I checked the places Stag556 suggested but all OOS. I couldn’t find MVM? Do I need to call someone at these web stores? All tips appreciated

    Nightforce Unimount height for 1-8?

    Thanks all. I really don’t fancy myself running and gunning or going into battle at my age unless the Ruskies get really ambitious. I’ll probably use this optic for slower paced and longer range entertainment. I think 1.5 will do nicely. So, my ATACR 1-8 and 1.5 Unimount were just ordered...

    Nightforce Unimount height for 1-8?

    I’m ordering an ATACR 1-8 for a small frame AR. What should I know about the different Unimount height mounts before I get one? I have a 1.5 Unimount under a NF 4-16x42 on my 308 AR and love it, but is 1.5 right for the 1-8 On a small frame AR? I have a B5 SOCOM stock on the 308 and it’s very...

    Pronged vs closed tine Flash hiders

    I like the 3-prong AAC and Knights flash hiders. Each prong has a different mass which pretty much eliminates the tuning fork ringing sound. Knights also claims its 3-prong “Flash Eliminator” has better accuracy than its brake. I don’t hear any ringing when firing my SR-25 with its FH. It’s...

    Criterion Core with Wilson Combat Billet upper compatibility

    This may just be another dumb question but- I’m trying to find out if there are any compatibility issues putting a Criterion barrel with its M4 feed Ramos on a Wilso Combat billet upper with its ”M4 like” feed ramps. Below is a picture of the Wilson M4 like ramps. I don’t have the barrel yet...

    Advice on Tuning a "Precision" AR15

    I’m setting up a new Criterion 14.5” mid-length setup. I will be using a flash hider without a suppressor. I was planning on using a JP polished recoil spring with a Knights HH buffer As I have these on hand. I really don’t know what Criterion does with their porting, although I’m sure I can...

    Will Knights be producing more URX4 rails for us

    Nice millwork but I’ll wait. Perhaps a good clamp on will have to tide me over. The Forward Controls Design RHF has a 12.8” version that looks good but I have time.

    Will Knights be producing more URX4 rails for us

    There doesn’t seem to be what I’m after but thanks for the reminder to stay on ARFCOM

    Will Knights be producing more URX4 rails for us

    I did call Knights some time ago and I was told all individual LE sales must now go through their subsidiary - Lawman’s and Shooter’s Supply. Alex at L&S hasn’t been able to source any and really didn’t know when any would arrive. I found a couple other URX4 sizes but not the 13” which I’d...

    Will Knights be producing more URX4 rails for us

    Post Pandemic Inquiry Does anyone have up to date info on commercial availability of the URX4 13” MLOK rails? I had no idea the 13” version is so popular, but admittedly I’m somewhat behind the curve.

    Installing a Prefit

    5.56 becoming obsolete

    Personally, I can’t wait for .mil to stop buying 5.56 if that means it’ll be cheaper for the average Joe Or Sally.

    Has anyone ever seen this in a new AR chrome lined barrel?

    Thanks for your input Frank. The Spikes barrel is on its way back. Having come to the Hide for advice has me thinking about a better build, starting with barrel selection. This all got started because my son bought me a borescope after I’d been binge watching School of the American Rifle and...

    Has anyone ever seen this in a new AR chrome lined barrel?

    I am happy to report that John Dowhy at Spikes just sent me an email offering to refund my purchase saying he’s not sure what the marks are but “Either way it shouldn’t be there”. I wish everyone in this industry were as honest, responsive and accommodating. Kudos to Spikes Tactical! Stay well...

    Has anyone ever seen this in a new AR chrome lined barrel?

    I stand corrected. $320, which may be too much. I guess I got it confused with the Spikes 14.5” optimum profile barrel which is advertised as CHF
