Hi Guys, I'm designing a new 308 AR upper/lower combination. The 308 AR patterns that are out there that come to mind are DPMS, Knight, and Armalite. I know that DMPS has moved around their rail height on the upper receiver to the chagrin of many. The basic specifications I am...

Hey guys, What do you look for in a quality AR? 308/7.62x51 if that matters. Could use a few pointers, and would be interested in people's opinions around here. Thanks!

Anyone know where to find these? They are a porro prism, rubber armored with IR detector and reticule in the right bino.

Hi guys, looking at grabbing some binos. Could use a little help. I'd like something with a rangefinding/mil reticule in it say 7-10x. Reading on wikipedia Porro prisms seem more desirable from a light transmission viewpoint compared to roof prisms. So it would seem to me that I'd want that...

Gents, I've got a DPMS 308 that I don't think is quite right yet. In the interest of disclosure, the rifle is as follows: -1/10 24" SS -Standard DPMS tube FF HG (and the barrel nut is now properly torqued) -CMMG lower, RRA 2 stage non adjustable trigger/hammer, A2 buttstock w/extender...

Ok guys, I am building a 308 AR that's a bit of a mutt. It's got the following stuff in it. Barrel from friend's Cobb MCR in .308 and free float tube Armalite AR10 bolt carrier group (headspaces to barrel fine) EGW 0.875" gas block DPMS upper/charging handle AR15 standard rifle length gas tube...

Well, my 5-25 falcon died today, couldn't turn the mag ring but a little bit and the reticle twists with it now-- in addition to shift of reticle. Great. Anyone else had issues with these scopes?

Gents, Many comments have been made here and there about the gas guns being more difficult to drive. How different to gas gun recoil would a blowback gun (I'm thinking 10/22 here) be? I'm thinking it would be similar to a gas gun, but please discuss...

Well, I broke in my DPMS pattern (24" non fluted bull barrel) AR today. Bagged, it shot ok, maybe 1-1.5" group at 100 yds with FGMM 168 gr. I was using an old Ruskii 4x scope though, so maybe some improvement there (it does track well though). It's been a loooooong time since I broke in a non...

Guys, I was reading a report from the 60's or whatever on the HK G3 a while back and something in the report raised a question. Basically the report said that one of the contributing factors to the HK's reliability was that the bolt group had a lot of available overtravel before the carrier...

Gents, I have a CMMG 308 AR lower (takes DPMS type mags), I am in the process of picking a trigger, and was going to use the KNS anti-rotation type hammer/trigger pins. Not sure if this will fit due to the proximity of an external radius near the hammer pin location. Do any of you have this...

Ok guys, we've talked about the high end, what about the low end? Is the commie stuff any good? I mean the low power stuff up to the "1P21" optics. For example, I have a VOMZ 4x with a Dragunov reticle I picked up in Perm for $40US. Shot an Appleseed this weekend and ended up using it...

Gents, Does anyone know the eye relief on a Hensoldt FERO Z24 scope? They were the ones that fit into the HK G3 claw mount/STANAG setup. The reason I ask is I used to have one and the eye relief was too short (.308/7.62), and I'm looking at scopes that are sub 3" for eye relief. Don't want...

Gents, what's a good 7.62 reamer to use on a semi? M852? Please discuss...

Ok gents, my honor (not to mention a proper BBQ lunch) hangs in the balance. A point of contention has arisen b/t a friend of mine and myself regarding the tri-burst mechanism on an M16A2. I have been told that I am full of it for saying that both the full auto and triburst rifles must have an...

Ok, call me a tard or whatever, but I'm trying to find info on precision FAL builds. The 3 letter query is too short, and the * isn't giving good results, nor or other add-on words ('fal precision' for example). Any ideas, or is there something simple I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Gents, I've got a scope in a set of good quality scope rings, on a good mount. Had some issues at the range today that would suggest that the scope was bound and/or that the mount was in a tweak. Basically the rifle patterned like a shotgun (this rifle doesn't even do that with irons), and...
