    TIG Vs L3 Cratos

    Just by their FOV differences, I think this might be an apples to oranges comparison. I also assume the L3 product has some sort of collimating prism in the ocular.

    Suppressors Lost in the Suppressor Mount Weeds.... One can, multiple rifles...?

    I hate how much I love the area 419 mount. Usually I hate adaptors and prefer simplicity, but the area 419 is the exception where stacking an adaptor makes your systems way simpler, to include if you ever want to use a brake.

    Gunsmithing Time to Update Rifling Methods?

    I'll have to watch that video later when I get the time, but there are some DIY'ers rifling their barrels at home with electro-chemical techniques. Nothing precision by our standards (at least I don't think). That being said, there were 1 minute 1903's in the ww1 era, so maybe it's not that...

    Can you shoot seated with a double pull?

    Weapon mounted LRF

    A lot of failures or inactions are such a shame too. In my opinion they border on the edge of fraud waste and abuse. ie DoD really wants to focus on armor defeat with mass issued rifles, but anyone who has spent time in the infantry understands that highly protected targets are killed more...

    Night Vision NF Panobridge (14s) vs. RNVGs

    I like the pano bridge a lot. If you value the pano-ability and can deal with the weight, then obviously the panobridge. If you don't value the pano-ability but value articulation and can deal with the weight... panobridge. If you don't value pano-ability or articulation, then RNVG wins out...

    Rifle Scopes Best SR25 (16" 308) Optic?

    The nx8 2.5-20 is small, light, and the low end is nice on an AR. The glass isn't up to ATACR qualities, but the adjustable parallax is going to allow you to resolve finer images at say 1000m than say a 1-8 or 1-10. If you want to jump higher I'd look at the S&B 3-20 US

    Night Vision The L3 vs. Photonis Shootout... What does an extra $2000 per tube actually get you?

    I might be a snob, but in pics 1 and 3 the photonis looks significantly worse. In my opinion, to the point of it being an operational liability (for fighting use)

    Gas block with 4 set screws instead of 2 taper pins

    Looking for gas adjustable not windage. Sorry should have clarified

    Gas block with 4 set screws instead of 2 taper pins

    What do you mean? In terms of tools? Currently it's just a barrel, an upper, and a 12'' handguard. I gotta get a gas tube and a gas block

    Night Vision Can I boresight a thermal scope with a laser boresighter?

    It doesn't need to be dark for your thermal sensor to work. Glue or tape some aluminum foil on a piece of cardboard. The nicer your scope, the smaller you should make this aluminum paster. Zero it at the same distance you would a day optic. Alternatively, zero a day optic with a good mount...

    Gas block with 4 set screws instead of 2 taper pins

    Nice. That's on the top of the list right now

    Gas block with 4 set screws instead of 2 taper pins

    I'm super familiar with the reliability of set screw gas blocks. It's just a principle (that clearly doesn't really matter).
