    PWS MK114

    ALLCON: I have not frequented the Hide in a while, been VERY busy at work, and devoting most of my time to my facebook page (Ranger Proof). In regards to the question about the trigger... the SSA is amazing, I still have a few of them. However, I have been beating the living snot out of the...

    Rifle Scopes Questions about SWFA SS 3-15x42

    I expect that this SWFA SS 3-15 will edge out it's competition simply due to the fact that the SS line has solid turrets / erectors and they dial very accurately. The FFP is a nice touch in this price point, and the reticle is very well etched. The Quad-MIL reticle will not be as fine as the...

    Rifle Scopes Questions about SWFA SS 3-15x42

    The turrets "feel" much better than my older fixed ten from SWFA... and on par with my newer fixed 12 MRAD. The SWFA SS 3-15 caught my eye, for a lower cost alternative with a very usable FOV. The glass is very clear, edge to edge, and the exit pupil is not horrible. I have it mounted on my SPR...

    Rifle Scopes Questions about SWFA SS 3-15x42

    Swfa ss 3-15 / swfa ss 1-6 I have the SWFA SS 3-15 and the SWFA SS 1-6 for a long term test and evaluation. Right now, I have the SWFA 3-15 mounted in a WARNE R.A.M.P. with a T1 on the ejection port side. I took my US Optics SN3 1.8-10 off to mount the 3-15 for testing. I just got these...

    Re: PWS MK114 Smoky43, Let me dive into your questions point by point. Fist of all, I'm glad to hear that you chose the PWS rifle. I can tell you, I am a huge fan of their products... not because I get kickbacks from them, or they treat me well, they treat EVERYONE well. I just use their...

    PWS MK114

    Re: PWS MK114 Very nice rifle... I had not shot anything that light... for accuracy. I get amazing accuracy out of 69 grain SMK's and 77 grain SMK's... the Black Hills 77 grain OTM is what my MK114 loves. In fact, all of my PWS MK1 rifles LOVE the 77 OTM. That rifle will last you a...

    PWS MK214

    Re: PWS MK214 Howdy Sir... let me take your questions in order. 1. The 14.5" barrel with the standard FSC-30 that comes on the PWS MK214 is BATFE legal without a stamp. PWS attaches the muzzle device permanently making the barrel 16.1" long. 2. I am using a Giessele SD-E trigger in mine...

    My newest project

    Re: My newest project Update... this rifle turned out to be over gassed... as if that's a surprise. So, I ordered a JP adjustable gas block, and a heavy buffer / spring from Slash. Tuning will commence shortly.

    PWS MK214

    Re: PWS MK214 My rifle has well over 3000 rounds through it now... with ZERO issues. My upper / lower is so tight, I have to still use a delryn punch to get the pins out... zero slop. My buffer tube has zero wear in it. Now, there is some bright spots where the metal has polished it a bit...

    PWS MK114

    Re: PWS MK114 No. The piston is floating... Held on to the operating rod by a hardened, captured pin. The operating rod is bolted and staked to the bolt carrier where the traditional gas key would be. There is nothing in the piston system to fail. No springs, nothing. I have covered this in...
