    Best muzzle device for ar-10

    Re: Best muzzle device for ar-10 Also +1 on the PWS and Surefire brakes. Used both and they are very effective. That being said, I don't have much to compare them to on a .308 semi; A2 flashhider and a stock M14 fh is about all I can compare them with.

    Rifle Scopes Primary arms knockoff T1

    Re: Primary arms knockoff T1 I picked one up also and so far so good (~400 rounds 5.56). Going to give it a go at a Pat Rodgers class this summer but the CompM2 will be on hand just in case. Haven't put it on the G3k yet but that's the next step. I think the description on the Primary Arms...

    DPMS LR-308 parts.

    Re: DPMS LR-308 parts. I haven't had a need to buy 7.62 gun parts so I can't comment on the receivers. As far as furniture and other parts like gasblocks and triggers and stuff, I almost always head to Bravo Company USA. They are only one state over and ship quickly; I've placed orders a...

    LWRC 10.5 SBR 6.8 with Trijicon and doc optic

    Re: LWRC 10.5 SBR 6.8 with Trijicon and doc optic Not sure if you checked, but does GA have a regulation pertaining to minimum barrel length? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that where I hunt (WI) for whitetail deer, there is a 16" minimum barrel requirement on a rifle and an overall...

    Re: Scope for Rock River 308 What will he be using it for? LR target shooting, average range hunting, ??? For hunting whitetails in the Midwest, my brother has an Accupoint 1-4? that works well for those ranges (200 max maybe). I have a Nikon Monarch X 2.5-10 with 1/4 MOA turrets sitting...

    looking for suggestions on a 6.8 upper for hunting

    Re: looking for suggestions on a 6.8 upper for hun My two cents from using a 6.8 on whitetail in WI/MN. I am in the process of grabbing components for my next 6.8 build. I currently have an 18" WOA barrel and will go with a 16" next time around. My intention is to save some weight while...

    How Navy supplements its knowledge for SEALs (?)

    Re: How Navy supplements its knowledge for SEALs (?) Take it easy there stud. A guy is free to ask a question and I happen to think it is a relavent question as well. I'm in the service and have worked with some SEALs. While I in no way doubt their knowledge, training or abilities I have...

    Rifle Scopes Best Boresight Tool

    Re: Best Boresight Tool I tried the ones in the form of a cartridge that go in the chamber and didn't have much luck. I picked up this one from Sportsmans Guide (http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/sightmark-magnetic-universal-boresighter.aspx?a=483871). For $40, it puts me close enough...

    FAL for Urban Sniper Rifle?

    Re: FAL for Urban Sniper Rifle? Cobra is right. The FAL, while a good and reliable weapon, is not a sniper weapon. There are much better semi platforms available if you want a "sniper" rifle. Keep the FAL for what it's meant to be, a battle rifle. Take the money you intended to spend...

    Old M1A Rifle

    Re: Old M1A Rifle Are these weapons through the gov't surplus program? I know our office runs that program for our state. I'm not 100% familiar with the gov't program, but I think there may be some limits to what you can change on them. I'd agree, if either isn't broke, don't fix it. I...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon or Vortex scope?

    Re: Nikon or Vortex scope? Not sure where or what you're hunting but keep in mind your minimum magnification. If something sneaks up on you close, scopes at 4x may be tough to acquire the target quickly at that range. I haven't shot the Vortex but I did have a scope with similiar...

    Rifle Scopes Build enough...

    Re: Build enough... Keep in mind, if demand outweighs supply then the companies make more money. Not that (most) companies don't deserve a good price for the (quality) products they've spent time developing. All too often we see new stuff sold for two arms and a leg only to find out it's...

    Push VS Controlled Feed

    Re: Push VS Controlled Feed Sorry, but I have to agree with Russ. I'm not a genius but having fired both types, explain to me how the hell the feeding makes a bolt gun more accurate one way or the other? Push may be more prevalent than controlled feed = meaning more rifles out there =...

    Semi-Auto

    Re: Semi-Auto Doesn't DPMS make a .260? I could be wrong but I know they offer a variety of calibers for a mass-produced rifle. As far as the "semis tough on brass", I would have to disagree a bit. I would say that it depends on the weapon. Yes, my G3 beats the hell out of the brass. The...

    Rifle Scopes Opinion Of Millet Scopes?

    Re: Opinion Of Millet Scopes? I have used one of their DMS scopes on an AR for personal use. It seemed to function fine but I did not shoot at ranges over 200m with is. For the money, I see it as an acceptable scope for the recreational shooter. Would I take it with me to Afghanistan, no...

    Rifle Scopes does paint on your scope kill the resale?

    Re: does paint on your scope kill the resale? Two identical scopes (both used or both new) are available for sale; one painted and one is not. Unless the painted one just so happens to be the pattern I may be planning on painting my gun then yes, it affects the equation. Given the same...
