    M110 optic history

    What year did the military start implementing scopes with Horus H58/H59 reticle and which scopes were they first offered in besides the Horus brand scopes? Which branch got them first?

    1x6 or 8 reticle

    Which lpvo have the thinnest crosshairs? I'm a target guy at heart and need thin crosshairs. I like the Viper pst2 reticle and the Primary Arms Nova. I prefer mils. Any suggestions on a thinner reticle?

    AR10 firing pin issues

    I put together a mostly Aero gun with a BA barrel and Aero bolt, Aero upper/lower. Getting light primer strikes every once in awhile, 3-5 out of 100 and then after a couple hundred rounds 1 or 2 per 25 round mag. I bought a cmmg firing pin (darker colored pin pictured) which is a touch longer...

    AI LE question

    Why does the AT chassis seem to be the most popular among LE, with even the SS using custom Remington in a AT? Is it a cost thing or something functional? I may be missing something and am not really a AI expert so be gentle.

    AR 10 light primer strike

    I put a Aero upper and Ballistic advantage barrel together and am getting light primer strikes here and there. Put the heavy spring in the Larue 2 stage, still happens. Most rounds fire but every range trip out of 3 had a few light strikes. New CCI 200s with varget, no issues in other guns. I...

    Running out of windage

    I have recently put a Arken in a Athlon 34mm cantilever 0 moa mount and when using a laser boresigher, appears to be pretty far to one side of the windage adjustment to get centered up. This being a cantilever I can't turn it around so I don't really have any other options right? I haven't shot...

    Gas tube fitment issues

    I bought a Aero M5 enhanced and one of their rifle length tubes along with a Rainier match 18" rifle length 308 barrel. There is a shoulder on the Aero gas tube that stops it from going into the upper any further, this is how it lines up. I have a Superlative Arms adjustable block coming...

    Experiences with cheaper .308 projectiles

    Hoping to find a cheaper bullet around 150gr to buy and load in bulk to shoot out of a gasser with a nice barrel. For just banging steel. I am looking at the Hornady 150gr FMJ BT and BTHP. May try some load dev with some ball style bullets around 147gr. Anyone try fine tuning a blaster bullet...

    Large frame question

    If one was to build a .308 AR10 would a barrel change be all that was needed to move to 6.5 Creed? Bolts, buffers, etc all interchangeable? Assuming you might need to do a little fine tuning but over all they are compatitable? What other considerations should be made, for instance if one wanted...

    Mk 4 3.5x10

    How hard is it to find a 3.5x10x40 with the TMR reticle and M5 turrets? I have been looking at scopes for a SPR for awhile now and nothing looks quite right to me compared to one of these. 10x with 40x obj is perfect for me. If someone made a 40x objective scope with a similar footprint, side...

    Options for large frame receiver sets

    What are some of the higher end options for building an AR10 with a really nice barrel? Also is DPMS pattern the most common? Ive been looking at Aero but can't help but think I would want something a little nicer.

    Just started reloading 9mm how doy primers look?

    Seems like might be a little hot? 5.3gr of CFE pistol, 115gr Hornady HAP, brass from Fiocci range dynamics ammo, COAL is whatever federals 115 fmj load is (used to set the die). Primers look a little flowy? Gen 5 glock. Also going through and sizing this brass for the second time I had a case...

    Gas piston kits

    Wanting to put together a piston gun for general blasting, like keeping the BCG a little cleaner for longer. Won't be a precision gun, probably will run a red dot. I've been looking at the Adams Arms kits. Would like to get the gas block, rod and BCG. If there is anyone making barrels with gas...

    Question on older Leupold model

    Did Leupold ever make a 3.5x10 Mark 4 with the TMR reticle and mil turrets (m5?) Not sure which designation the mil turrets have. I see lots of mil dots with MOA turrets either 1 or .5 MOA.

    Glock trigger improvement options

    Not sure where to post this now that the side arm forum is gone. Still I think this forum has a good knowledge base for this kind of thing. Looking to improve a glock trigger or replace. I don't want a competition style trigger, just a nice clean and crisp one that has less take up and is a...
