    PRI Carbon Fiber Handguard Questions

    See above. Just one other thought in addition to the above...if you want same-height railed options for the Delta, PRI makes a monolithic/SPR-type rails that integrates the rifle's/carbine's receiver with the handguard to give you a full-length, same-plane rail interface. Just one more option.

    Some Advise Please, AR10/SR25 platform questions

    It really all comes down to what, specifically, you want at the end of the day. For a 16-18", lightweight large-frame AR rifle setup like it seems you want it and capable of MOA or better accuracy, the factory options are fairly slim. One excellent option that comes to mind off the bat is the...

    Rifle Scopes Don't Laugh - Need a scope for a long range Mosin

    I didn't bring up the fixed powers as you specifically swore them off in a post above as something you couldn't do, but I'll just second the above recommendations for the SWFA SS series scopes. They are available in mil/mil based setups with a great mil-quad reticle, and in 10x, 12x, 16x and...

    carbon fiber hand guards

    You won't, EVER, melt a true CF handguard. PERIOD! Now, some of the "lesser" designed setups like the epoxied in place DPMS factory CF handguards originally shipped with a grossly inadequate epoxy resin that was prone to failing both due to impact and due to heat. DPMS remedied that issue...

    Rifle Scopes Don't Laugh - Need a scope for a long range Mosin

    No, no, and NO! I have posted this before, but suppose it bears repeating... My experience with that model, while they do fill a nice niche for a budget-minded, mil/mil, variable power optic, is that they don't track all that well and aren't terribly durable. Dialing adjustments with it...

    Say a little prayer

    Prayers up for you and yours, firefox. As everyone else has already hinted at, do get her looked at by medical professionals and let them decide what, if anything further needs to be done in terms of evaluation, testing, observation, etc. Head trauma, Brain Housing Group/Brain Bucket injuries...

    Rifle Scopes Don't Laugh - Need a scope for a long range Mosin

    For $500...for the features you want...not gonna happen for a NEW optic. You may get lucky and get the price down somewhere near your budget by buying used or losing some of the features you want/need, but you are really, probably overglassing a Mosin at this point in time. The $700 ranges...

    How long does it take for a new thread to be approved?

    ^^ Yep! ^^ Death by committee, etc. You are screwed. Just give up now, throw in the towel, and beg for mercy from the mighty Interweb Gods that you be forgiven of your sins for posting anything at all to begin with!! ;) Joking aside, this same tired old topic has been beaten to death re...

    Rifle Scopes Octagonal tubes?

    Yup...octagonal (or any other variation of squared/angular scope tubes) is a solution looking for a problem. I hear that the R&D into octagonal scope tubes may have ultimately led to the demise of the brain trust at CounterSniper/DarkOps. :( Sad...so, so, SOOO sad. ;) Look, scope mounting...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 2.5-10 FFP or SWFA SS 3-15

    Couple things up front: 1) the price, at least from the usual Hide suspects for all things Vortex who need not be repeated here for obvious reasons, are the same between the 2.5-10x32 FFP PST and the SWFA 3-15x. 2) for a .22LR that's going to be used at extended ranges, you may very well...

    H&K 770 semi auto .308

    I'd say that's a @#$%ING STEAL. Hell, even a well used 770 in fair condition can fetch nearly $2k (I know of one now that is in 80% or a bit better for $1800) and I couldn't venture a guess on the SSG as I haven't kept up much on them over the years. If the HK is really in minty shape...

    H&K 770 semi auto .308

    You need to get out more!! ;) They tend to hover around 2 MOA with surplus fodder and gun shop special/sale stuff, but with quality ammo that the rifle really likes (match or high-end hunting loads) or handloads tuned specifically for the rifle, you can get them well into the 1MOA range if you...

    Chip McCormick trigger

    So...to sum up then... 1) You installed a CMC AR-15 trigger pack with relative ease (I agree...so simple a caveman could do it on the 5-6 I've done over the years); 2) the weight of pull advertised at 3.5lbs was NOT what you received as yours measured in at 4lbs (guess a 1/2lb off is better...

    Need math wiz for simple(?) problem

    Math is by FAR not my strong suit, but based on those lengths of the three sides of your triangular pond to calculate its area in sq-ft, I get roughly (rounding up) 85,441 sq-ft. (See Heron's Formula...finding an online calc or two will give you the space to input your figures and spit out...

    LR-308/SR25 Firing Pin

    +1 on this!! Every JP .308 BCG I have seen/used has been DPMS spec (at least with respect to the critical dimensions, firing pins, retainer pins, cam pins, etc. despite the rather obvious external differences of the LMOS carriers compared to the basic LR-308 carriers).

    SPEC'S mean NOTHING

    It is NOT a parts-maker problem! Look, by in large, everything in the AR-15 world with limited exceptions operates on the "specifications" for the AR-15/M16 that have existed for MANY decades now. Also, where there are "variances" from that specification, there are usually fairly sound...

    SPEC'S mean NOTHING

    Wrong again per your usual! Look...there is no "spec" when it comes to large-frame ARs. There is the Armalite pattern and specifications as used by Armalite (and at least ONE closely related product in the Noveske N6 series rifles) and the DPMS-pattern and specifications (as used by DPMS...

    I thought that might be the case. Thanks for the detailed response, Jason!

    Celia's Surgery

    We've got a bunch of friends and some family scattered down the coast around Hilton Head and down into the Savannah area. It really is a great area and I can certainly understand the desire to be places other than NY these days. Unfortunately, when last we looked into it, property tends to be...

    LR-308/SR25 Firing Pin

    Before you buy the POF, you might want to double-check that it is, in fact, a true "DPMS pattern" firing pin and not slightly different. I only say that because little things like firing pin diameter can make a big difference and I'm not 100% that POF stuck to the larger DPMS pattern diameter...
