    Inch or Metric ?

    Check out Falfiles, there are almost always people selling FAL mags in the Marketplace. Greg

    Any G3 and FAL experts on here?

    Not an expert, but I have hung out on the HKPro and Falfiles sites for some time. Both are good resources for info on the aforementioned rifles. Have had both a G1 and HK91 in the collection at one point or another. Both shot relatively well. The 91 averaged about 1.5" and the Fal about 2.5" at...

    Compass lake engineering 17.9" SPR barrel.

    Just got almost this exact (bead blasted finish) barrel for my build about a week ago. Haven't taken it out yet, but I can say that the fit and finish were excellent. I'll update with a range report if you are interested. Hope to get out early next week to test it out.

    AR 10T upper question

    With regard to chopping the barrel - Any suggestions on who could do the work? I have a 10T as well, and am thinking about either rebarreling, building a new upper, or chopping the existing barrel down to 18" or so. I would just get a new barrel / bolt, but can't find anything in stock (big...

    HK SL8 Trigger Pack Help needed

    Re: HK SL8 Trigger Pack Help needed http://alpinetek.netfirms.com/guns/SL8/breakdown/ Got a warning about potential virus on the site, but I have been there several times and have dealt with the owner and find him to be a stand up guy. No problems on my system. Take your time and study the...

    Want to reduce brass throw in AR-15.

    Re: Want to reduce brass throw in AR-15. I just use a brass catcher. Works great. You can also just put a box to the right of your rifle to catch the brass. Might be a better option than modifying your rifle.

    FNAR - My head hurts now

    Re: FNAR - My head hurts now That seems amazingly complex for a semi-auto, kind of like the trigger group for the HK SL8, a bit too over engineered for its own good. How does it compare to the SCAR for take down? The only FN design I own is an FAL clone, much simpler to take down. Greg

    Sig 556

    Re: Sig 556 I have had one for a few years now. It has proven to be very reliable, though not particularly accurate. I would say 2 MOA+ with most ammo. Fine for combat, but not very good for target work. You can shave some weight off the front if you add the 551 handguards. Makes a...

    Rifle Scopes Night Force Reticle Mil Dot or MLR

    Re: Night Force Reticle Mil Dot or MLR I have a SFP MLR and like it, primarily because it seems more precise to me for determining range. I'm curious as to why one would suggest that the mil-dot would be a better choice in a FFP optic? I will say that I sometimes wish that the outer posts...

    Rifle Scopes Mil Dot Question - Operator Error

    Re: Mil Dot Question - Operator Error Thanks for taking the time to reply to my questions. I agree that I may be over analyzing this whole issue a bit, and I am sure that there is nothing wrong with my scope. My thought behind zeroing at 300 was that I could get to roughly 700 yards...

    Rifle Scopes Mil Dot Question - Operator Error

    Okay, I apologize for this potentially simple question, but I am a total newbie when I comes to using mil dots, so please don't tear me to shreds, I'm seriously trying to learn. I'm using a 2nd focal plane Nightforce with an MLR reticule, hash marks every 1/2 MIL, 1/10mil turrets. Zeroed the...

    Feedback wanted for proposed AR10 Mods

    Re: Feedback wanted for proposed AR10 Mods Thanks for the info, particularly the barrel specs. Shedding a pound of weight sounds like a good thing. "I have seen a lot of guys recommending 1:11.25 Bartlein for the .308, shooting 175 SMK's." That is what I have on my GAP Remington. No...

    Feedback wanted for proposed AR10 Mods

    Hoping for some guidance from the group. I have a stock Armalite AR10(T) w/ fiberglass HG and 24" SS barrel. Love the gun at the bench, but find it too heavy / unwieldy to carry around in the field. I am thinking about making the following changes: Swap barrel for 18" Bartlein fluted /...

    G36 Pic Rail?

    Re: G36 Pic Rail? You should be able to mount any rail that is made for the G36/SL8. Haven't seen a "K" rail with the "iron" sights for some time. Cheek weld will still be pretty bad unless you add some sort of cheek piece to the stock. Check Gunbroker (do a search for SL8, rails show up...

    Brass Defelectors (PICS) Options?

    Re: Brass Defelectors (PICS) Options? If you try the UTG bag, the key is to unzip the bottom. Put a towel under your rifle. The empties will be slowed by the bag and then drop onto the towel. O/W, like the previous poster said, the bag will sag under the weight. The stand alone catcher that...

    .223 Remington Overhaul?

    Thought I would ask for some feedback from the group about a rifle I own. Remington 700BDL VS. Purchased in 1989. .223. My first bolt gun. I am sentimental about this rifle, but don't shoot it much since I had GAP build me a .308. Of late, I have thought about reworking it. It currently sits...

    Question about Jewell triggers in AICS

    Re: Question about Jewell triggers in AICS Same here. Had to file down the side of the stock to get the safety to smoothly engage. Not a lot had to be removed. Took about five minutes. Greg

    Question for PTR-91 shooters and owners

    Re: Question for PTR-91 shooters and owners I don't own a PTR, but I do have an HK 91. With regard to the brass being beat up, this is very true. The solution to this is to add a port buffer. Small metal clip that has a rubber bumper on it. Does a great job of saving your brass. You will...
