    Accessories WTB: SilencerCo Alpha ASR Mount

    I have an Omega 300 that I use with a Bravo ASR mount. I finally got the paperwork back on my "free" Octane 9 and I'm looking for mounting options for 22/9/300BO. I currently have my 9mm mounted via 3 lug but want something a bit sturdier for 300 blackout. Please let me know if anyone has an...

    Recommend an adjustable gas block for a 16" DPMS .308

    By front adjust do you mean the adjustment screw facing down the length of the barrel? Or perpendicular to the handguard? I assumed I would want one with side adjustment to keep from having to take the handguard off to adjust.

    Recommend an adjustable gas block for a 16" DPMS .308

    JP makes a great gas block but with handguards getting slimmer and slimmer it's hard to find one that will fit it. At least in my case.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone try the Athlon Midas Tac yet?

    I got a rough zero set with my Midas Tac Saturday with my 20" AR-15 SPR. Seems to track fine and I had no issues with glass clarity. But the wind was something else so I'll probably have to fine tune the zero before setting the zero stop. I am very satisfied with my purchase overall.

    AR barrel

    Is there even much of a performance gain going from 20" to 24"? I almost never see 24" 223 AR barrels and always assumed it was that way for a reason.

    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    That's really interesting. YHM seems to use pretty much the same system as Dead Air. Hmm might have to pick that one up instead! Do the muzzle brakes actually work well without the can? My SiCo brake looks like the ports have no backward slant to them unlike the m4-72sd I have. I guess I'm...

    Precision 308 ar advice needed

    I have done up custom loads for 6.5 using Lapua and Starline Brass, JLK-Berger-Sierra-Hornady bullets, and a couple of different powders (H4350 mostly). None of them shoot noticeably better than the gold medal bergers from federal, at least in my rifle. They are pretty darn good but factory...

    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    Area 419 hellfire system is interesting but I dont know about security as it seems basically like a thread on.

    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    Didn't get that option from SS. But they had the best local price and no transfer fees. Plus the kiosk made it a breeze on the paperwork. I'll likely keep the ASR even if I do get the Key-Mo and just put the given brake on a rifle I dont suppress that much.

    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    Yeah I was thinking about that as well. I'm planning to build a 300BO while I wait for my stamp and thought I might put a 9 or 10" 300BO barrel with one of those crazy lightweight 13" V Seven rails. But that would basically necessitate buying the Key-Mo.

    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    That's correct. I called SilencerCo and they said a lot of their newer stock was not in the system yet so I'd have to e-mail them the information. Still waiting for a confirmation email though, been a couple of weeks but I know they're busy. For you guys with lots of suppressor experience, do...

    Rifle Scopes Primary Arms Platinum 1-8x Scope feedback

    They are great except for the weight. If you can stand the 25oz weight, there's not a hair's bit of difference between it and the Trijicon 1-8. Except I like both PA reticles better, and they're about to release the Raptor if they haven't already which is an even better reticle IMO. The only...

    Favorite AR trigger

    What I liked about the Hiperfire vs. competitors is that due to the "shocks" system, the lower the pull weight, the HARDER the hammer hits. My 24C hasn't had a single malfunction in 2500 rounds.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone try the Athlon Midas Tac yet?

    Got one that's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Fedex broke the first one so fingers crossed!

    Favorite AR trigger

    I really like a lot of triggers. I have kept: Hiperfire 24C (Love the shoe) Geissele SSA-E (basically any 2 stage Geissele) Triggertech TT-AR (like it a lot but keep coming back to Hiperfire and that shoe) Larue MBT (best deal going for a normal build) If I had unlimited funds I'd put...

    What gear should I buy to DIY mount a scope?

    I don't think that's it. I've done it on about 4-5 different scopes now. It's always ever so slightly canted to the left. I can't tell if I'm doing it wrong or if the unit itself is faulty. It isn't exactly a complicated process so I don't know how I'd really mess it up.

    What gear should I buy to DIY mount a scope?

    I have an Arisaka leveler but it never seems to work perfectly for me. I'm always just a little bit off when I verify by plumb.

    Your thoughts on receiver sets?

    You definitely want the best lower you can afford. But I wouldn't buy a cheaper barrel or bolt carrier to get a fancier receiver set if I had X dollars to spend. But SBR's are basically a lifetime purchase so build it the way you want. I really like CMMG's new rip stock system so an SBR is...

    Rifle Scopes Athalon midas btr 4.5-27x50 trying to get setup

    Yeah it gets finicky at high mag. That's why most run at about 75%. I have a benchrest scope that goes to 50 power and at 40 it's fine but at 50 it's almost impossible to stay behind it consistently.

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon 1-8 or Prim. Arms Plat. 1-8

    I have a PA Platinum with the mil reticle and I love it. The only thing I don't like about it is the weight. I'll probably eventually sell it and move to a Kahles 1-6 or maybe try out that new Athlon Cronus.
