    Optics ** SOLD** Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 3-15x44 EBR-2D $500

    Gen 2 PST 3-15x44 with the EBR-2D reticle(which was only available for a limited time through certain vendors I believe). Mounted on a 18” AR for midrange work and has been great in that role. Im turning this upper into a designated thermal upper so im looking to recoup some funds. Its in a...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Understood, this project is definitely expensive for me as well and i haven’t even purchased the optic yet. I have wanted one of these for years since seeing Black Hawk Down years ago when it came out. So im not too upset with spending some money and getting a nice one to hopefully teach my kids...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Trying to figure out about how high i would need to get my rings to clear the objective on the scope. I will probably be running a leupold mk 5 3-18 since it is on the small side and a little more compact than other options.

    How high are your scope rings on your rifle? Nice looking gun btw.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    As of right now i payed a deposit on the LRB M25 action and they had a McMillan A3 stock on order already so i tacked that one to the build list(its in m81 so it will look sweet). 22” heavy profile match barrel and all the GI goodies. According to LRB i can expect the rifle to be completed near...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Based in what im reading, the M14 platform rifle seems to be finicky to suppress but im sure the ammo used and the kind of suppressor effect that. I will be using a velos lbp 7.62 on this gun so im hoping that alleviates some of the typical issues.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Good info, why do you say you wouldn’t do your specific build over again?

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    I have been scoping them out more and more as im researching and looking into little nuances like suppressing the platform. So far im leaning into LRB building one for me on their action since it has the integrated optic rail. This will be a forever gun so im ok spending a little more on it than...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    No im not on any M14/M1A specific forums but have researched on a few that google turns up. Figured I would start here since im somewhat active on the Hide. Thanks for the info though, im definitely looking around at used options to start with but haven’t had much luck as of yet.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Always wanted a M1A pattern rifle just for nostalgia/conversation piece but definitely plan on shooting it, hunting with it occasionally too. The easy button is just buy a Springfield Armory M1a national match and hope for the best but I want a little more than that. Plan is to run it...

    Tube scopes and mount heights on ar15

    Yeah 1.50ish height is the “go to” for mount height on AR platform rifles. If it has a 50mm objective you will be fine. Just take into account as well the thickness of whatever cover or caps you want to run for clearance between the objective and rail.

    Who cleans BCGs in an ultrasonic cleaner?

    Every once in a while i give them some love. Most of the time they get a little lube on top of the crud and keep rolling.

    Who cleans BCGs in an ultrasonic cleaner?

    I use my ultrasonic to clean bcg’s. I run about 30-40% purple power and tap water and run it about 30ish minutes at 120ish degrees. Bcg’s come out 99% clean and I usually just have to pick a little carbon from the corners of bolt tail area in the bcg. Most of my bcg’s are black nitride and I...
