    Rifle Length crushed tungsten buffer?

    Do any reputable manufacturers make a crushed tungsten filled rifle length buffer for the AR15? Something similar to Spikes Tactical tungsten carbine buffer but in rifle length? Been hunting around and haven't found much.

    Shopping for a scope. Why should I choose one or the other (30mm or 1" tube) all else being equal? Will my sight picture be larger using a 30mm tube?

    Rifle Scopes Leupold VX-III 1" tube with M1 knobs

    I understand that M1 knobs can be installed on a standard Leupold 1 inch tube scope. I do prefer M1 knobs over the regular target turrets, but I'm not sure how aesthetically pleasing this would be? Does anyone have a photograph of such a modified scope? Thanks, TK
