    AR15 Rear sight: LMT my only option?

    I bought myself a S&W M&P15 Magpul spec. I'm gonna keep irons on it for a while. I've already got my .22 set up for bench shooting, this one's gonna be more of a blaster (though I may throw a Geissele SSA in it). Love everything about it except the MBUS rear sight, which is only adjustable for...

    Muzzle breaks, crowns, accuracy, and whatnot...

    I couldn't think of a decent title to describe the question I'm asking, sorry... About a month ago, I discovered an imperfection on the crown of Krieger barrel. I sent it back to them, they evaluated it, and re-crowned it; but when they re-crowned it they didn't push back the shoulder. So...

    Got my AR15, now what?!

    Hey all, I just invested in my first AR15. It's pretty standard, normal handguards and all. So what should I do now in terms of parts? My first instinct was to get a red dot that will get me on the paper at the range, but now I'm looking for the fun stuff. I think I'd like to start with a new...

    How Accurate Can an AR15 Be?

    I would like to know just how accurate an AR15 can be, at short ranges, such as 100 and 200 yards, using a bag or bi-pod. Assume the rifle is built using high quality parts best suited for this kind of shooting and either Lapua or hand loaded ammo optimized for the gun. Repeatable 1 MOA, 1/2...
