    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    I have scope with nuclear illumination like the NX8 1-8. More important to me is one that will go LOW enough. Many are too bright on the lowest setting, and wash out the target in low light.

    Win an RIX Storm S3 Thermal Imaging Scope!

    Me with the semiauto and my good buddy Paul with the bolt. He passed way unexpectedly last year.

    Gunsmithing Barrel blank identification

    It’s a 4 groove. I send a message to Obermeyer and got a very prompt response from one of his children. They said the nomenclature and font didn’t look familiar. Between that response and the 4 grooves, unless someone else knows the maker this may just get put on a gas gun for blasting or...

    Gunsmithing Barrel blank identification

    Interesting, that would be nice if it is. That’s one barrel maker I’ve never used.

    Gunsmithing Barrel blank identification

    I picked up several barrel blanks from an estate sale. Most were match barrels from years back, and most were Douglas. This one didn’t have any identification that I could see. Any chance someone recognized the maker? It’s a 26” stainless .308 barrel, 10 twist. I know it’s not much to go on...

    David Miller Rifles

    A friend had one of his rifles. I can’t put into words the craftsmanship, it makes my own and any other I’ve ever handled look like an amateur. One detail was the blending of the bottom metal to the stock. There was absolutely no rounding of the metal or the finish on the wood, it was as if the...

    Ar10 monolithic recommendations?

    Aero Enhanced upper with a Sgt of Arms rail with built in Arca rail. I have this setup, it works well. Not my photo:

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    And, just like that, the Amazon AI starts wondering why everyone’s fishing rods suddenly need repair. 😆

    CDI FN action modification for AICS

    For anyone looking later, I found the PDF here on this site. The depth is the main thing I was looking for, it should be cut .200 deep. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/attachments/fn-spr-win-70-sa-install-sheet-pdf.8295931/

    CDI FN action modification for AICS

    I did read through that thread previously but don’t remember seeing that information. I’m looking through it again to see if I can find it.

    CDI FN action modification for AICS

    I recently acquired an FN CRF short action, and want to make it use the AICS mags that my other rifles use. It looks like PTG is about the only game in town now, but before I go that direction I’d like to try something different. Does anyone have the spec that you used to use to machine actions...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    My old go-to was wearing a 28” 6 Creed barrel. It was a little much for hunting, so I spun up a 16.5” .308 with a Krieger blank I had on hand. It’s still ridiculously heavy, I’ll have to lighten it some when season goes out.

    Aero Precision opinions and experiences wanted

    You’re right. The OP asked about the M4E1, so I was referring to small frame rifles. I should have clarified that.

    Aero Precision opinions and experiences wanted

    @DHDeal Seekins and other BAR handguards fit directly on the Aero enhanced uppers. You don’t have to use Aero’s handguards. I have even built a couple with the Sgt of Arms handguards with built in Arca rails. I used to build rifles as a side job, and used Aero parts for a majority of the ARs...

    30-06 Remington 700 ADL to 300 WIN

    Most of what I deal with has a DBM, but it appears that the mag box is the same part, but the follower is different. The stock and mag box should work but you might need a new follower.

    Aero Precision Bolt Gun Teaser (Now newly announced SABR thread)

    Of course it’s on the customer side, but not the dealer side. That’s one thing I hate about Aero- there’s a long delay before they allow dealers to purchase things. When parts were hard to find, I’d have to call customers up and ask them to order receivers or BCGs for their own builds and bring...

    Mack bros quick change barrel system

    Interesting, I was just emailing them about a switch barrel setup and it wasn’t mentioned. I’d like to see how it works.

    Another weapon light thread… this time with a twist

    I have one of these as well as a couple other lights. I think mine is an older model with a much lower lumen output, but it has the best throw, a tighter beam so it’s better at longer range than some of my brighter lights. Not sure if that’s what the OP is looking for.
