    The Easy Button for overgassed AR-10s: Bootleg BCG Review

    Ok, well that changes the circumstances and I get your point. Still, for the benefit of those that might stumble across this thread doing research, I'd like to point out that you're using a low back pressure can. If you were using something like a Polonium, it may not have worked out as well...

    The Easy Button for overgassed AR-10s: Bootleg BCG Review

    That BCG works well for a rifle tuned to run well unsupressed. That way, you can turn it to the suppressed setting when adding a high back pressure can. In your case, you have to turn it to the max suppressed setting to run unsuppressed. What are you going to do when you add a suppressor? In...

    Point of diminishing returns for a 2-12 ish scope

    So, how's that Trijicon working out for you? I think parallax adjustment on a 2-10ish scope is over rated. There are some good ones that just plain don't need it. Man, Ive been considering upgrading my NX8 to a March Shorty. Do you mind if I DM you with some questions? That scope is a grail...

    Arken 4-16 vs Athlon 4-14

    You're talking about two low cost scopes that are about on par with each other. Get the one that has the bells and whistles you want. Since you're online asking about them, I'm gonna guess that you've never had hands on either. The best thing you can do is try to get some hands on time with...

    AR9 trigger help.

    There was a time when running a PCC was a pain in the butt. Bolts were cut for either glock mags OR colt mags, but not both. These days, most bolts will accommodate both. The bolt profile also had an effect on trigger compatibility. What I found the safest route was to stick with milspecish...

    Continuous scope ring slippage

    I've had this issue, albeit on a .22. Still, trying to shim the sides of the rail is going to be an exercise in patience, if not futility. Just cut an aluminum strip out of a coke can and put it between the bottom of the rings and the top of the rail. If you don't want to use a coke can, you can...

    Proof Research 223 Wylde Muzzle Threads

    I saw that video as well. I remember running across a torque spec, some time ago, for muzzle devices. I suppose that most use crush washers for muzzle devices, so it wasn't a common question or a big issue. Since silencers have become so much more common, I'm starting to see the question of...

    Proof Research 223 Wylde Muzzle Threads

    This is good to know and it's about time. Given a choice between the two, I'd take the larger thread. Is it necessary? Maybe not, but it certainly won't hurt either.

    Rings vs Mount. Recs?

    I just went through this myself, pondering what the strongest setup would be. My choice was between ARC M10 rings and a Nightforce Ultramount. The pair was rings was very robust and the rings alone weighed the same as the entire mount. In the end, I opted to go for the Ultramount, just because I...

    Quick review of 16" Criterion Hybrid 416R Nitrided barrel, 1:8" twist, .223 Wylde, midlength

    Bud, same boat. I have access to 800 yards and its fun banging steel with the smaller caliber. It's unclear from your posts, but if you're a tinkerer, check out the thread here. Something about a great deal on Armalite barrels. I grabbed an 11.5" Armalite HBar for $80 to my door. I liked it...

    Quick review of 16" Criterion Hybrid 416R Nitrided barrel, 1:8" twist, .223 Wylde, midlength

    I hear ya man. Stick with what works. I was crunching some numbers in my head, mostly due to the performance I got out of the 53gr Black Arc ammo I tried and came to the realization that regardless of how impressive the velocity numbers are, it still doesn't get you much in terms of practical...

    Quick review of 16" Criterion Hybrid 416R Nitrided barrel, 1:8" twist, .223 Wylde, midlength

    Have you ever tried the 55gr Blitzking? If you wanna just run some without diving in, look for the ADI load. They're cheap compared to Black Arc and the like and they are great for 100 yard group shooting. I get good results with them out to 300 or 400 before physics starts to kick in hard.

    Quick review of 16" Criterion Hybrid 416R Nitrided barrel, 1:8" twist, .223 Wylde, midlength

    Hey man, good shooting. My SPRish rig is also a Criterion Hybrid, but mine is a chromelined version. Yeah, it shoots very well. It'll even do 1.5 to 2 MOA with GGG M193. If you ever get in the mood to get stupid with a bit of money, try out some of the ammo from Black Arc. The stuff in the NAS3...

    1-8 / 1-10×

    The PLX Nova is a completely different animal. It's a second focal plane scope. I thought we were talking about first focal plane scopes here. If the OP is interested in a second focal plane scope and wants red dot bright, that's a whole different story. Vortex PST, Razor, Credo HX, if I...

    1-8 / 1-10×

    Just to get the terms down, there is daylight noticeable, daylight bright and red dot bright. The NX8 1-8x is absolutely red dot bright. As far as I know (I haven't gotten my hands on the new RDB PLXc yet), the Nightforce NX8 and ATACR are the only FFP LPVOs with a red dot bright reticle. In my...
