    Does Bartlein, Kreiger, and Proof carry as much weight in the AR world as they do in precision rifle bolt-action guns?

    I'd argue that a lot of people who argue about X barrel being more accurate than Y barrel can't shoot the difference. If you can, the price premium between something like a Noveske / Centurion Stainless vs a Proof / custom CLE/Craddock Krieger or Bartlein becomes easier to stomach. Most...

    Leupold MARK 5HD 2-10x30

    What a disappointment I would have probably gotten one but a $500 charge for illumination is ridiculous and they couldn’t even come out with a basic Christmas tree style reticle?!

    What parts of the rifle lend themselves to accuracy?

    I thought you may have not been a troll up to this point but competitive airsoft? And why starting in 2025 lol? In the off chance you aren’t a troll or bot, you have more than enough info to complete 20 builds, let alone 7. You’re suffering from paralysis by analysis, information overload. And...

    Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

    I thought those blem uppers that BCM sent the email out were MK2, but they were in fact their original. In another email they sent out around Black Friday they had “cosmetic blem mk2 receiver extensions” that’s where the confusion happened.

    Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

    Training with your firearms is absolutely crucial and I don’t think it gets emphasized or talked about enough. LMT still makes the specwar upper and I just watched a live stream with one of their main reps, they are going to do more Specwar uppers. It might take a while though. Another option...

    Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

    So it looks like you have put a lot of thought into this which is awesome! I have all sorts of different barrel lengths and AR-15 setups and if I had to start all over again with what I have learned, this is what I would do. 12.5” GPR Rifle/Upper: ADM complete rifle or upper or LMT Specwar...

    New Aimpoint Duty RDS

    A friend of mine got one so we installed it and hit the range. Here are my thoughts. Battery Compartment: Surprised no one has mentioned this yet but the battery compartment is a bit of a nightmare. I have a few T2's and was expecting to pop the battery in, screw the cap on, and be done...

    Geissele SSA-X?

    I just picked a couple of the SSA-EX lightening bow triggers up, I'll post here when I get them in and compare them to the SSA-E.

    SPR: LMT vs CLE Krieger/Bartlein

    Thanks everyone for the feedback, most likely going with the LMT and stainless barrel and if accuracy is lacking, CLE will be getting a call.

    SPR: LMT vs CLE Krieger/Bartlein

    Hi all, Another SPR thread for everyone to enjoy. I’m in the market for a new SPR and it will be a 16” 5.56 being fed exclusively BH MK262 Mod 1 and BH 77 tmk. Optic will be NF ATACR 4-16 tremor3. There will be a suppressor direct threaded onto the barrel (either CGS Helios DT or HYPERION K)...

    Noob to AR, need help.

    OP, in that price range, I would look at (in no order): BCM Recce 16 MCMR (with BFH barrel) FNH TAC3 LWRC DI Centurion MidWeight CM4 Cobalt Gen 1 BAMF PRO (they are blowing out the gen 1's for a good discount) Out of those, the FNH TAC3 and the Centurion would be my top choices.

    LMT 12.5” Mid Gas Barrel Velocity Request

    I’m looking for anyone who has chrono’d the LMT 12.5” Mid Gas barrel (Specwar barrel). I’m hoping someone has M193, Black Hills Mk 262 Mod 1, and Black Hills 77gr TMK data. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce customer service!

    Like a dumbass, I put too much torque on the Power throw lever on my ATACR 1-8 and stripped out the allen head on the top of the screw. Called NF, offered to pay for a replacement and shipping, and they politely declined. They overnighted me a new PTL at no cost, can't say enough good things...

    Advice needs: 12.5, 14.5, 16

    12.5 with suppressor is what I would go with. It's my new favorite length, maneuverability is a big thing for me. If not going suppressed, 14.5 would be my go to unless you wanted a DMR, in which case I would go 16" with shorty can. 12.5 is also the shortest length that I like to run "k" cans...

    Suppressors New silencer sound standard?

    I am a fan of Jay's podcast and PEWScience, I think it's a great concept to "standardize" suppression ratings and boil it down to a single number. I agree that there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding sound ratings and the dB log scale is confusing for a lot of commercial consumers...

    Suppressors Suppressor(s) for 12.5" AR-15s

    Update (don't know if anyone cares or not lol): Ordered a CGS Helios QD TI so now the NFA wait begins. I'm fingers crossed that CGS comes out with their own brake/qd adaptor by the time the stamp clears. After shooting it, I'll evaluate what other can to get but at this point, it is looking...
