    Which entry level red dot? Or recommendations

    Re: Which entry level red dot? Or recommendations I have a vortex strikefire. It's better than other cheap red-dots. It comes with a pretty solid mount and a doubler. I tried using the doubler, but it created a reflection and ended up causing the dot to look like the infinity sign or an 8 if...

    Putting steel cased ammo through nice ARs?

    Re: Putting steel cased ammo through nice ARs? Good solid info in here. One more thing to add is to become knowledgeable about the mortarting technique to clear a stuck casing. If you shoot steel long enough, you'll have a stuck casing in your chamber. It's no big deal. As said before the...

    Buffer Detent hole on AR

    Re: Buffer Detent hole on AR curious if you're seeing gouging in your buffer tube along the bottom from carrier tilt. Also curious if you're using the heavier buffer spring with the shrike. Do you have the newer 1 piece bolts for your lwrc upper? Do you have any noticeable gouging in your upper?

    AR-15 upper for Whitetail???

    Re: AR-15 upper for Whitetail??? +1 for 300 blk. You can choose to go the nfa route and shoot subsonics, or shoot the 125 gr loads essentially similar to 7.62x39. Aside from that, you checke out the 30 rem ar loading yet? pretty impressive.

    Browning BAR optics upgrayedd

    So, here's my BAR in 30-06. She was made back in '79. Don't worry, that carbon is all cleaned off now. My grandpa (commander Jack richardson) got it and then passed it on to my dad, who passed it on to me. The thing is capable of sub MOA groups, but that scope and mount on top have got to be...
