    Rifle Scopes US Optics MST100

    I can see why a out-of-production scope that actually saw service would go for $7K. Same as a WWI/WWII 1911. It's about collect-ability. That is vastly different when you're talking about a modern production FIXED 10x scope. Other than "because they can really stick it to you", there is no...

    Rifle Scopes S&B warranty

    I had a S&B PM II that had to go back to S&B twice for the same problem. After the first repair, it held for a few months...then it broke again. So far (knock on iron wood), the second repair has held up. I don't abuse my optics in any way. I don't shoot them on piston guns and I certainly don't...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics MST100

    Just out of my pure lack of understanding, can someone explain to me (other than the limited run) why a MST-100 cost over two times more than a illuminated ST-10 TPAL?

    budget AR build barrel question

    Re: budget AR build barrel question Yes, the FN/PSA barrels are nice. FN make Centurion and Noveske's CHF barrels too. I believe Spikes also get their CHF barrels from FN but I think PSA charges the least for their barrels.

    New Colt Competition Pro 3-Gun rifle

    Re: New Colt Competition Pro 3-Gun rifle Ever consider 6.5 Creedmoor? I think it would do everything you're looking for.

    budget AR build barrel question

    Re: budget AR build barrel question Just to add some info, I have the weights of various <span style="font-weight: bold">Daniel Defense</span> barrels (LW = Light Weight). These are ALL Cold Hammer Forged barrels using Ordnance Grade 4150 Steel (CMV) and are chrome lined...

    budget AR build barrel question

    Re: budget AR build barrel question It's not about size of the wallet (big or small) it's about consistent quality. In my experience, neither Saber nor DPMS had consistent quality. And here's something to offset your SINGLE barrel sample: <div class="ubbcode-block"><div...

    AR Build question.. please help if possible

    Re: AR Build question.. please help if possible If I had a choice between MID and CAR gas lengths, I would ALWAYS, ALWAYS go with a MID especially on a 16" barrel. A 16" barrel with a CAR gas system is not optimal in terms of pressure. Unnecessary wear on your gear. Why beat up your AR just...

    budget AR build barrel question

    Re: budget AR build barrel question @Greg-Eh, I don't trust CMT. I use to work at shop and saw a lot of them. It's one thing when they are contracted to make stuff for other vendors but I've seen a lot of problems with CMT including their horribly "staked" bolt carriers. Also, a lot of those...

    budget AR build barrel question

    Re: budget AR build barrel question I also don't see the need for a heavy barrel...it's just dead weight. The most accurate AR I ever owned (1/2 MOA) had a 16" Medium Contour barrel (Krieger). Looked close to this: I would recommend getting a Daniel Defense CHF or a PSA barrel. I'd rather...

    budget AR build barrel question

    Re: budget AR build barrel question Just curious buy why would you build a 18" HEAVY barreled upper for a SHTF situation? For a SHTF type AR, wouldn't a short and lightweight AR be much more preferable?

    Need help - AR10 cycle problem

    Re: Need help - AR10 cycle problem Ok, I think you left out some key pieces of information here. So let me get this straight, you bought the gun used and it worked fine up until you did your mods. You never touched the gas block prior to the most recent posting but once you did move it, you...

    Need help - AR10 cycle problem

    Re: Need help - AR10 cycle problem David, <span style="font-weight: bold">that isn't the issue</span>. The ONLY reason why you change the handguard cap for the spacer is because the <span style="font-weight: bold">Aramalite</span> free float handguard can not be installed with the handguard...

    Need help - AR10 cycle problem

    Re: Need help - AR10 cycle problem Sled - it looks like you've pretty much run the gamut of examinations. At this point, sending it back to Armalite for the Gen 2 updates seems like the best bet. I was thinking about the possibly of a burr then but I remembered that you said you had shot it...

    Need help - AR10 cycle problem

    Re: Need help - AR10 cycle problem Just curious but before you did the mods, you were shooting the same ammo that you are now? Since you have the Troy 2-piece rail, I assume you didn't have to remove the gas block? Is your PRS the one the goes over the OEM receiver extension or did you...

    Geissele Automatic's Super Modular Rail (SMR)

    Re: Geissele Automatic's Super Modular Rail (SMR) This looks like a nice rail with some great features but is there a lighter version planned? I ask because a KAC URX 3.1 which is a 13.5" rail with built-in Pica rails and five (5) QD mount points weighs in at 14.04oz. And both the Centurion...
