    Lead time on Knights SR25?

    Based on a podcast between Trey Knight and Kevin of Q, I think KAC is honoring orders, but hasn't taken any new orders in a while and won't be taking any more commercial orders for quite a while. They are slammed on military contracts and putting their focus on them.

    B&T APC series

    Spoke with the folks at Tarheel. They tried to exchange their APC223 orders for the newly updated versions, but couldn't be told by the B&T reps on when they will ship. Tarheel guys said that when it comes to B&T, a product could show up in a couple of days or a few months. No ability to...

    B&T APC series

    APC 223 Pro series Watched a number of vids on the APC 223 and noticed that at SHOT they announced updates (Pro) now with non-reciprocating charging handles, free-floating barrels and a number of other minor tweaks to eliminate the common though minor complaints about the current versions...

    Aimpoint Acro P-2

    Thanks for sharing. They still show back ordered so I guess they don't have any not spoken for via pre-orders. When I spoke with them in Nov they mentioned about 80% of those ordered went spoken for as yet, but I doubt they got their full order in one drop.

    Aimpoint Acro P-2

    Thanks. Just noted the expected delivery changed from a rough date to "extended delay" on a couple of sites.

    Aimpoint Acro P-2

    Thanks Ronin. I have fully paid pre-orders (the only way they'd take an order) so I live with the uncertainty I signed up for, but remain anxious about it.

    Aimpoint Acro P-2

    I understand red dots aren't a common topic here, but I know we have a number of folks with good info on optics of all types. The ACRO P-2 was forecast by many retailers to have shipped by now. Does anyone have info on this? Is it a supply chain problem? Any updated forecasts? Thanks for...

    Suppressors Surefire SOCOM RC vs RC2?

    Who is buying more of any suppressor? The US Army, a very big boat indeed, was very late to the party on buy SAPI plates and Interceptor vests and has not revealed any supp purchase for any basic infantry unit as far as I’ve read. The Army AQ command is a joke. For the record, I only have QDC...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best EDC Pocket Knife?

    I don't understand the point of suggesting $300-$550 knives to the OP after he clearly is looking to spend under $100 or just a tad more for something ideal. Additionally, I wonder why no one asked him exactly what he means by EDC. The EDC needs for a farmhand are markedly different from those...

    Suppressors Surefire SOCOM RC vs RC2?

    NT4 certainly has a fetish following but has been replaced by the QDC series that has a much better mounting system IMHO. That said, I wonder if any 5.56mm suppressor has EVER had more rounds through it than the NT4. I believe the USMC recently bought a big load of them following an experiment...

    Suppressors Surefire SOCOM RC vs RC2?

    I have SF and KAC suppressors in 22 and 30 cal. Most experts consider them the best and you pay for military-level durability. What I like about the SFs is that a 30 cal can will mount on a 22 cal rifle SF host. KAC mounting system is superior in my humble opinion, but you can't go wrong with...

    What kind of glass does the ACOG use? And who else uses the same glass?

    You're comparing the ACOG to budget optics as I guess you're acknowledging. You said you find it to be "mind blowing." Others with top-shelf optics shared that it isn't. Aside from the insults about ACOGs that aren't warranted IMHO, most simply shared that you need to experience a broader...

    What kind of glass does the ACOG use? And who else uses the same glass?

    I don't think anyone doubts the track record of the ACOG as a durable and highly reliable optic, but that's not really germane to the discussion here about optical quality, particularly the OPs assertion that it's "mind-blowing." The reality is that it has VERY acceptable glass, especially for...

    Where to get ammo now post

    No magic or consistent "hot spot." It comes and goes from different places. My advice would be to subscribe to this thread, immediately go to the store online and see if they have what you want at a price you're okay with. Places with good quality match ammo at reasonable prices are likely to...

    1-8x or 2-10x on AR 10?

    I had an SR-25 that I paired with a Loopy 1-8x Mark 8. Certainly useful, but after a while I moved the Mark 8 to a 5.56 rifle and bought a Tangent Theta 3-15x for the SR-25. Yes, heavier, but I wasn't humping it like a Delta operator and enjoy the added magnification. So I'd suggest the 2-10x...

    What kind of glass does the ACOG use? And who else uses the same glass?

    I've never been more than just satisfied with ACOG glass, but we all have a different frame of reference.

    The 1K rounds I got from CC has from Lot # of 22556/700446, so different from those listed above. I'll try to shoot some Tues and will share findings out of my VGW. One question for you pros. What constitutes a "lot number'? The entire number or the portion left of the slash? Thanks.

    Fix it sticks or borka

    Bought the Borkas years ago. Put them away in a safe place. Since I can't find them, I use my FixIt sticks.
