    Shouldered vs barrel nut prefit

    The man himself (Ted) told me on the phone a few years ago there is no real substitute for a (properly) shouldered barrel... he referred to it as "bomb-proof".

    did holosun steal their technology?

    This reminds me of the RRS thread... I'm amazed at the mental gymnastics some people will do to justify buying products from China...

    Is body armor necessary for a civilian?

    I believe in being prepared... but also being realistic. I 100% support the right of any law abiding citizen to own whatever body armor they want... but reality is that most civilians probably don't "need" LVL 4 Plates and a carrier.... It's just not realistic that they are going to ever be in a...

    New Leofoto Anvil Copy

    1.) If RRS has IP on the Avil-30, they could try to get Customs to enforce it and seize shipments coming in... my company does that sometimes... but it's pretty hit or miss and tons of stuff gets through. 2.) There is plenty of competition in Tripods... ProMediaGear is US Made (but just as...

    New Leofoto Anvil Copy

    I'm sorry... but I just can't get behind buying a product that is a direct rip-off of a USA designed and made product.

    Body Armor Recommendations

    Hesco.. I'd look at the 3810... they are III+... they cover most threats you might see CONUS... Don't go cheap on something that is life saving equipment.

    Silencer Shop News Update: ATF eForms Launch Imminent!

    lol... I kinda feel bad for SS... you can tell they had to jerry-rig this whole thing... it's too bad the ATF couldn't just give them a simple API to upload the freaking form 4's... then just have you login and enter a pin. Seems like it could be made much, much easier... but I suspect the atf...

    Suppressors Looking at trading off my Area419 for fixed muzzle device

    I haven't run Rearden... but I've had ASR, Dead Air KeyMo, Rugged, etc. IMHO, those systems are all really designed around the AR platform... and the brakes just aren't as effective as the Area 419 for precision rifle type shooting Area 419 also has the best (that I know of) compatibility with...

    Gunsmithing X-Caliber barrels

    Buddy ordered a prefit and it won't thread into the receiver... threads were wrong.... to their credit they had no problem fixing it. I have a AR15 224 Valk barrel from them. It's nice looking and fluted... but it just shoots "OK". I've tried all sorts of loads (factory and handloads) I was...

    Silencer Shop News Update: ATF eForms Launch Imminent!

    Just got my TBAC can done today... here is what I know: 1.) While theoretically every dealer has access to the software, the order might not show up as an eForm order until Silencershop does something that makes it available for the dealer to be able to "see" it. It took a couple days and my...

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    OK... Got mine in and here is my initial comparisons to the Gen 2 and general comments: 1.) Glass looks really good, but I only had a few minutes before sunset to look through it.. I'm going to have to setup and compare side by side to a Gen 2 later. 2.) Turrets are quieter and slightly more...

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    I have a Gen 2 here to compare with... Honestly I would like something "in between" Gen 2 and what it looks like the Gen 3 is... I found the Gen 2's sometimes I have to yank "up" to hard to unlock the turret. When the optic arrives I'll report back.

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    Mine will be here Tuesday... looking at some videos online, I'm wondering if there is just no detent and that is by design?

    Swatcom Headset Feedback?

    I liked my Sordins, but after the second pair broke, I switched to the Ops-Core Amps. I always use foamies + sordins... so the NFMI solution was pretty appealing. So far I really like them, but they are pretty expensive. I did pay srstactical to repair one set (they were out of warranty)...

    Suppressors Suppressor recommendations

    You can definitely use the same can for both, it's just not optimal. 1.) Most .233+ cans today are not user serviceable...i.e. they are welded and cannot be taken apart. This is an issue since with 22LR, cans will build up lots of lead in the can... which over time makes it heavier and...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tripods

    RRS TFCT Anvil-30. they are expensive, but when you waste a class, hunt, or match b/c of gear failure...you learn a lesson... it's worth it to buy once cry once.

    Gunsmithing Saving one from the garbage can.

    Great Job... Just out of curiosity... what's the price to fix something like that?

    No budget lightweight hog tripod

    I have a RRS with Anvil-30 for shooting, and it's a fantastic setup. (Mine has the Anvil-30 Integrated into the tripod, not a separate head) That said, recently I was planning a trip where I wanted a really nice RRS tripod dedicated for photography. RRS was sold out everwhere, so I picked up a...

    Optics "Liberty Optics and Snipers Hide, Always a Great Match"

    I work for a large manufacturer and we have the same problem... it's a global problem right now. There are shortages of raw materials (metals, plastics, silicon, etc.), there are shortages of manufacturing labor (people keep getting sick with covid19), additional costs for PPE and international...
