Re: Which entry level red dot? Or recommendations the dot will be plenty bright. This is a picture of it against a red self-sealing do-all target around noon. It's still low on it's brightness setting. I usually keep the dot on the low side of brightness to minimize haze effect. I could still...

Re: Hornady steel match ammo. I picked up a box of 55 grn steel match and a box of 75 grn. I've only got 1/9 twist...soo not expecting much stabilization of the 75. I was more curious of the 75 gr's penetration capabilities as a cheap HD round and plan on just blasting a few jugs after some...

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...

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...

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?

Re: Colt m4 style rifle? so you're saying better quality control steps and better materials are a bad thing in a rifle?

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.

Re: Cold Temp Gun Lube? http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot39.htm nope, shouldn't be a problem.

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...
