    Rifle Scopes Vortex 1-6 Power Ring Stiffness

    With the Gen1/Gen2 Vortex Razor 1-6s, the power ring is absurdly stiff, that's well known. Are there any fixes to this? I don't mean bolting on a switchview lever, I mean an actual adjustment to the moving parts to free them up a little. I'm not optimistic, because I've been googling and...

    Night Vision Night Vision Recording

    So after getting screwed by Night Combat Solutions, I am still in search of a good way to record what my PVS-14 is seeing. Or, failing that, a digital camera that is helmet mountable that will do a decent job of recording in low light. I've been googling around, but don't have a good idea of...

    Night Vision Crimson Trace IR lasergrips

    Anyone know why these were discontinued? Just not making money, or was there something wrong with them?

    Daniel Defense Rail ID?

    I have an earlier generation of DD rail (12" with the FSB cutout). I would like to know more about it, but it is impossible to google because all I come up with is places to buy current-gen DD rails. I don't even know what it's called. Anyone know anything?

    Night Vision Black piece of something in my PVS-14 image

    I have a PVS-14 built by a friend of a friend. It's not perfect, it has a few quirks, like the gain knob not working, but the image has always been good. Yesterday, I noticed the J-Arm was not fitting tightly, and when I went to give it a twist to tighten it back down, it spun almost freely...

    Palmetto State Armory PA10

    Anyone have any info on this rifle, or Palmetto State's plans? Release dates? Parts compatibility? Slanted (SR-25 type) or Rounded (DPMS type) upper receiver? Plans to sell stripped uppers, lowers, or complete upper assemblies? From the photo I see that it uses an SR-25 pattern...

    Night Vision Lasermax UNI-IR C1

    What happened to them? Did they get discontinued? Can't seem to find any for sale, everywhere that carried them lists them as no longer available. Anyone have any suggestions for similar options?

    LMT MWS Upper compatibility

    Looking for information on what upper receivers and parts are compatible with an MWS lower. I believe you can drop a KAC upper on an LMT lower with zero issues, but I don't know that KAC sells just the upper, and if they did it would probably cost enough that it wouldn't be worth it over just...

    Short(er) FAL reloading question

    I have a FAL with a 16" barrel. It didn't start out that way, it was shortened, so it seems to be a little undergassed. Works reliably on the max-gas setting, but less so on other settings, whereas when it had a longer barrel, it ran fine with the gas regulator on roughly the middle setting...

    Hot loads in AR-10s

    I've always been taught that M1A/M14s should be fed lighter or lower charged loads due to wear on moving parts and specifically Op-Rods. I haven't heard much one way or the other on any other semi-autos, probably because FALs and such aren't generally used in the same way M-21 and such are...

    Federal Primers in an AR

    Does anybody do this? The internet would have me believe that they are too soft and my gun will slamfire and possibly explode. Has anybody actually experienced a slamfire in a .308 AR from using Federal primers, or is it just an internet legend?

    Questions on Reloading for an MWS, Using RE17 in a .308 Gas Gun

    I've been researching this as best I can on here, but there is so much conflicting information. My situation is that I'd like to reload for my MWS for financial and consistency reasons. I can't always afford a sufficient quantity of factory match, and when I can, it's not always possible to...

    Member Link Up Western PA

    Living near Pittsburgh for the time being. Looking for somewhere to shoot long(er) ranges. I've been shooting at the state gamelands range in Wexford, but it's pretty terrible. If anyone knows of a range witin an hour or two with 600+ yds, I'd be very interested. I was told today the best...

    Rifle Scopes IOR 2.5-10 accessories

    I'm have an earlier generation IOR 2.5-10x42 FFP. It's not Gen 1, but it's not the current one with the exposed turrets and the push button illumination. Some time ago, I lost one of the turret caps, and I'd like to replace it. Valdada customer service has been no help. Scott at Liberty...

    Hornady TAP .308

    I found a random box of 168 AMAXs in my stuff. Anyone know a good starting point to mirror 168 TAP FPD? Preferably using IMR 4895.

    Rifle Scopes Mk6 Picture request

    I'm giving serious consideration to the Leupold Mk6 1-6x. I'd really like to see one in person first, before commiting, but I don't know anyone with one. Any pictures through the scope at 1x would be appreciated. I'm particularly wanting to see it in different lighting...

    Gunsmithing M-14 Muzzle devices

    Wasn't sure how to title this thread, as it's not really about M-14s, but a FAL title would be misleading too. I want to cut the barrel on this FAL down to 16" (It's currently 17.5 + welded on muzzle device from The Ban years), and thread it for the Smith Enterprises M-14 Vortex flash...

    M8 API .50 BMG ammo question

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I wasn't sure where else. A lot of the .50 BMG ammo that gets issued is M8 API from the 1960s, packaged in 10 round individual boxes. I've always wondered what this ammo was originally intended for, since the M82/M107 wasn't around at the...

    SR-25 type magazine options

    I'm looking for SR-25 pattern mags for my MWS. The PMag is the obvious answer, and I have several, but they are somewhat bulkier, and the majority won't drop free. What other quality options are there? I refuse to pay $100 for a KAC mag. For that price I'll just keep buying PMags. I was...
