Hey Gent's My nephew just joined the Army on the "future soldier program" he goes to boot in July and returns to finish high school. He signed on for combat engineer, changeable I think. If you've been in the Army and had the chance to pick another career which would you choose based on your...

As the title says I'd like to talk w/ a current or recent Army recruiter in reference to a young family member signing on. Cheers, Doc

Since this is the gunsmithing forum I figured I'd ask here for input regarding AR-15 accurizing books. I am well aware of how an AR-15 works and how it's associated parts and pieces work together so I'm not interested in a "how to assemble a bag of parts book". I guess I'm looking for a...

I did some range work with Kent today and we got some more "field" pictures just to see how the reticle stacks up against the original concept. It exceeded expectations. The simplicity of the reticle makes it a no brainer to accurately engage targets w/o even getting into doing the math of...

OK gent's here it is!!!! This reticle is fitted to the USO SN4 1.5 - 6x rifle scope and was designed with CQB or 3 gun in mind. It was designed specifically under the guidance of the C2 Shooting center in VA Beach, VA for their "C2 Shooting Series" of rifles and equipment. The owner of C2...

Does anyone know the ATF approved methods for permanantly affixing the flash hider to a 14.5" AR barrel to make it 16.X". OTHER THAN PINNING IT. I vaugely remember silver solder but can't remember if it was OK or NOT OK. Cheers, Doc
