    300 Blackout AR Malfunctions

    I have a few different 300 uppers in 8-10" barrel length, and while I am hardly an expert (there are so many variables), here are a few thoughts... I have H and even H2 buffers in some. There is some squirreliness with some subsonic ammo, and I'm planning a trip to see if carbine and H buffers...

    Huxwrx Ventum 556 or 762

    I seem to recall reading--dont ask me where--that flow through designs suffer more with overbore sizing. Maybe others can confirm or correct. That said, I have the Flow 556 Ti and the 762 Ti and shooting 5.56 on an AR, with ear pro on, Im not sure I can tell a difference. Maybe... the...

    Barrel Options for a SBR 308 rifle?

    I am not an expert on barrels, or abuse, but... maybe it depends on what you mean by taking the abuse, and how much rapid fire.

    Barrel Options for a SBR 308 rifle?

    V7 has a 14.5" .308 option. Semantics aside as to whether that--pinned--is a short barrel. I have a fluted one (that as converted to LMT barrel extension) with a pinned HUXWRX brake. It handles nicely, though the light weight of the barrel is sort of offset by mounting it with/ too a heavier...

    Looking to purchase my first and last suppressor

    To say nothing of what happens if one has an account with Silencer Shop or Capital Armory, approval times are less than glacial, and then its almost too easy to buy the next one...

    Looking to purchase my first and last suppressor

    If you don't need the Ventum's HUB compatibility, and don't mind HUXWRX's muzzle device options, the Flow Ti 762 works well on both of those calibers. I have both but haven't done any side by side comparisons, except on an AR with subsonic 300blk, and that was its own niche range outing...

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    I have a ACRO on mine--there's a so-so photo posted above--and it clears. Barely, but it clears.

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    The photo shows no space, but there is a very small sliver of light. I pressed on it a bit and I don't think you risk hitting the scope unless you really knock it.

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    Id say deceiving (the reticle is more crisp irl and also more noticeable), but I won't argue that Steiner erred on the side of fine line over thick line. I like it enough to play with it for a while. If the NF's FC-DMx made it into a similar package... that would be enticing.

    Precision Rifle Gear Is the Garmin Xero still the Whiz Bang Chrono to get? Is there a new(er) model coming this year?

    Im a casual Chrono user, in that I want to know velocities--and have various setups for which that data is useful--but tend not to push any of those as far (literally or figuratively) as they go. Ive had all the main ones: the older, set up 10' down range wait is it too sunny/ cloudy for the...

    Schmidt Bender Price Reduction

    Well, this was an expensive Sunday morning. I need to hide my wallet for a few... years.

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    Here is the reticle at 2x and 12x Do I think it's usable at 2x? Yes. "Enough" so...? That's too subjective to answer. The inner reticle lines are thin, but the thicker 3-6-9 lines do draw the eye inward. Should they be thicker or more "arrow-head like?" I think that would be helpful...

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    That would hav been a reasonable thing... but I didn't. If you don't mind a different background, I can do so sooner than later.

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    I took mu newly mounted 2-12 out to zero yesterday. The below photo isn't great, but it does show that the fine reticle might get lost a bit on the shoot and sees. But it was still usable. The illumination sorta helped, ish. I know the scope isn't necessarily designed for shooting groups...

    KAK Down venting BCG

    I just put a chrome, down-vent carrier in a 8" 300 blk pistol. I shot about 50 rounds of 200 Winchester and 220 Fioochi--most with the Ventum and a few with a Nomad30. While the Nomad30 was noticeably more quiet, as a lefty-long gun user, there was more gas and particulate in my face. With...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Handguns...show 'em

    I have a few different Staccatos and recently a Platypus. They both shoot nicely. Both are accurate. (I have the 4.25 bull barrel Platypus). Both fit in my Hammer Armament holsters for the P I really like the Platy's grip--I got the newer, more aggressive texture. Its very good, and feels...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    At the moment, no. I decided that the holdovers were--at least to my eyes--much too subtle. Not unusable, but close enough. Especially when compared to the very-similar-but-not-100%-identicle reticle in the 1.5-15. Currently, March has the scope to put the 1.5-15--with its more solid...

    Keeping Suppressors Cool

    Bugholes, an RO at an indoor range "lent" me their fan, which was very effective, but too large and is what got the wondering about a pocket fan. I have a few different heat resistant wraps, mitts, cover, etc, and do use them. But seem to end a range session shooting suppressed and then...

    Keeping Suppressors Cool

    I went to the range to try do a comparison between a recently received PTR Vent 2 and DA Mojave, but instead, I got caught up figuring out which host I liked more: a DIY CMMG radial delayed upper and a MEAN Arms upper. (Turns out, at least this trip, the CMMG...) Anyway, I'm curious if anyone...

    KAK Down venting BCG

    I have one that I tried out when I was zeroing a scope. I did notice less gas in face--lefty rifle shooter. I was shooting either unsuppressed or flow-through can. My impression when I got home was there was a bit more schmutz that wiped out of the mag well, but its possible it was on par...
