    Least expensive AR you’d trust your life to?

    Exactly. Does anyone here have the invoices that PSA and BCM were sent by manufacturers of the parts they sell that prove that they're not buying the same parts from the same contractors?

    Least expensive AR you’d trust your life to?

    This is my go to at the moment. PWS MK114 Mod 2-M upper with Razor Gen IIE 1-6 (JM-1 reticle) in a Bobro mount and BCM VFG on an 80% lower CNC machined in my Arrow 500 VMC with a PSA premium lower build kit, Geissele SSA (on KNS anti-rotate pins), Rogers Superstock. Also added Teal Blue Bravo...

    How are lenses cleaned at the factory?

    I clean lenses as infrequently as possible to minimize the risk of scratching. I generally use a lenspen when cleaning is required unless there's residue on the lens the lenspen carbon pad won't eliminate (which I can pretty much tell from experience). In that circumstance I use the lenspen...

    *OOPS! Mixed 1 lb. of RL23 & H4350... Will I blow my face off?

    I believe this man was the inspiration for Wile E Coyote.

    Bushnell Warranty? Lol

    Other than a few outliers, company warranties cover failures that result from manufacturing defects. Dropping an optic several feet onto concrete is not a manufacturing defect (Bushnell did not manufacture gravity or the concrete the binos impacted). Period. A few optics manufacturers do cover...

    My first reloading attempt was a failure, what now?

    I load at the top of the recommended range for 9mm and 45 ACP autoloaders. Anything less and the guns I've shot my reloads with didn't cycle reliably. I'm not a good enough shot with a pistol that the subtle difference in precision between different loads makes a difference in my accuracy. Even...

    To PCC or not to PCC...?

    Yep it was a revolutionary system when it was intoduced 56 years ago. That was, well, 56 years ago, though. Do some research on the CMMG radial delayed blowback system and actually shoot one before you offer your expert opinion. It's not some trash AR 9. It's not a straight blowback or DI...

    To PCC or not to PCC...?

    I have shot 3 MP5s, 2 of them pistols, the other integrally suppressed. They were fun to shoot. Also an M60, M16, AKM, M1919, probably forgetting a few. A friend is a class III FFL with a cabin in the mountains. In semi auto, the CMMGs are just as nice to shoot, and it's an AR so adding...

    To PCC or not to PCC...?

    I had 3 of them, or rather, my wife did, after her brother died. Looked into form 5ing them. Couldn't justify keeping them for the $$$ they are worth. Sold them for a little over $22k each. Too rich for my blood. Built the aforementioned Banshee clone uppers. The uppers drop right on a FA...

    To PCC or not to PCC...?

    I built 2 uppers with the same CMMGs radial delayed blowback 8.5" barrel and BCG combos employed in their Banshee weapons. Everything else is standard AR stuff, using CMMG conversion mags (Gen 2 PMAGs) so the uppers function with any AR lower. I didn't want the heavy recoil and potential FCG...

    New Arken Offering

    Tunneling is a big deal IMHO. Personally, I don't reduce magnification to decrease the observable size of objects in the FOV, I decrease magnification to increase (widen) the FOV for target aquisition or moving targets. Selling a scope where the FOV remains constant across a range at the lower...

    How much ammo/components do you have?

    Especially being as the question is "how much in comparison to what you had before" so my answer of 75% could mean I had enough to assemble 4 rounds before but only 3 now; hardly going to get the BATFE knocking on my door. People on forums can be such tools.

    Q Sugar Weasels Arrive Less than perfect looking

    How do they shoot? Bet the deflector gets much worse once you put some rounds downrange. Just sayin' is all.

    Non carcinogenic bore cleaner

    I started my first job as a machinist in 1983 and spent the next 15 years bathing my hands in products containing 1,1,1 trichloroethane (and other chemicals since banned) for at least several hours a week. That stuff has been eliminated from products for a while now and the products no longer...

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

    Originally I was going to get a thermal clip-on but because of the unavailability of the unit I wanted, I settled on a thermal scope. It never occurred to me that I would not be able to zero the scope on my rifle. I tried different color palettes and different materials to aim at hoping I could...

    It was the magazine causing the malfunctions.....

    The mag catch is the edge at the top of the depression, not the one at the bottom. The bottom edge is to prevent over insertion.
