Good to know as I’ll probably be getting one at some point. I like the FOV for a target pistol. I have a Shadow 2 for that, but I currently don’t have the cash for the Primary Machine slide. Debating on saving some money and just getting the stock slide milled, but I’ve heard that they are...

I appreciate the response. It just seemed odd to me. OTOH, most stuff is over-packaged anyway adding unnecessary cost to the item. The box is nice and will be used for something else once the optic is mounted.

First post in a long time, but I’m getting into handguns and ordered an RMR to mount on a Walther PDP. It came yesterday in a sturdy looking plastic case, but when I opened it up it was as is shown in the photos below. This is my first Trijicon red dot, so I’m not familiar with their...

I’ll jump on here with another related question if the OP doesn’t mind. I’m about to go down this path as well. Question: How precise do the overall length and barrel length measurements need to be? Is plus/minus 1/8” ok? 1/4”? Money

Steel Head, Can you share the link to the video that you watched? I just did a You Tube search and got a number of results. I’d like to narrow it down to save myself some time. Thanks in advance.

Cool stick!

I once owned an IOR 3-18 X 50 tactical model. I bought it when I first got into shooting because of positive positive comments that I saw on You Tube. I wasn’t a frequent user/peruser at the Hide at that time. Anyway, the scope was very dark on 18X and parallax had very little adjustment...

I grew up hunting squirrels in western PA. I haven’t done it since graduating college and moving away to places where they don’t have squirrels of the edible variety. Those are some beautiful rifles. I’d love to carry something like that into some tall timber full of hardwoods. Easily my...

Wow man. That is excellent work. I’m a woodworker myself. I built high end pieces for architects for a couple of years at one point. Anyway, I’ve seen attempts at using wood components with ARs before and I never liked them. This, on the other hand, is rather excellent. That’s very fine...

Yeah, I didn’t think about different set screw spacing. That makes sense. Loi

I just received a 10.5” .223 Wylde barrel from Craddock Precision along with their gas block and gas tube. Looking at it I noticed that there is only one dimple machined opposite the gas port for gas block alignment. Curious, I pulled the gas block from a PSA upper that I bought already...

I can’t imagine firing a .308 inside of a house in a self defense scenario. That bullet will go straight through the target and blow through several walls before the bullet stops. Who knows what collateral damage you would do in the process. Use the right tool for the job. I’ve seen your...

I agree ballistically, but there won’t be a ton of 300 BO should supply chains break down. Lou

I think that the AR 10 in .308 is hands down the winner for a SHTF homestead protector lol. Of course, you need to live on at least 100 acres to put it to use. Having smacked steel with my .308 out to 1000, it’s still bringing the mail at the 700 mark with 175s. I know that I sure as hell...

i got the 1.5” height mount for a 56 mm objective (I think). The XLR Carbon chassis has a carbon fiber handguard over the barrel, so you need the extra height. It worked perfectly. Lou

My 9mm AR is the first AR build that I ever did, and I went all in on it. The lower is a Quarter Circle 10 receiver. I went with an AR10 buffer spring and a hydraulic buffer. It functions flawlessly. I have about 1000 rounds through it and it has never failed to feed or eject. I basically...

I actually tore down my .223 trainer to build my Vudoo. It sits in an XLR Carbon chassis and sports a Jewel trigger. Below is a picture of the setup. I’ve only had issues feeding CCI SV ammo but have since switched to SK, and all feeding issues have gone away. The rifle now wears a S&B PMII...

You aren’t kidding that AR parts are unobtanium at the moment. I was lucky enough to score a 10.5” .223 barrel and a 4” 9mm barrel from Craddock Precision recently. I too am attempting to increase my collection before November. You haven’t mentioned the need to build an AR in 9mm. I have one...

I recently bought a MPA one piece mount for my S&B/Vudoo. It is a really nice piece of hardware for the money IMO. I just can’t bring myself to spend the coin on a Spuhr. The MPA suits my needs nicely at a lower price point. Lou

It’s all about the experience. Drop the coin on a ZCO, shoot a ton with it, and then you will have satisfied your curiosity. If you don’t you’ll always wonder what you may have missed. It reminds me of the time I want to the Philippines on business for a week but stayed a couple of extra days...
