Where did most of you guys order your A1 from, I went through Euro optics.
Just picked up a premier heritage 5-25. 28 mrad. Anyone know if I run it with a 20moa spuhr base if I can still have a 100 to 300 yard zero with my HTI?
Thanks

Will the NF ultra lite 1.375" be too low? Anybody tries this?
Not really feeling the DTA love right now. I placed an order for a can several months ago before the mass DTA craze started from the A1. Was told the can was in hand and paperwork was going to start immediately and would be at my FFL in a month. Also ordered several other items including a 338 conversion. Just called today, 2 months after the can was supposed to arrive and when my conversion was due. 8 months on the can and 6 more months on the other items. It appears my stuff went to someone more important than me. It really sucks to be a firearms enthusiast nowadays...
No my can was given to someone else obviously. 8 months til they get another one to ship me to my FFL. Plus another month to get to my FFL. Then another 6 months to get to me.
Shit is paid in full I might add.
We use torque wrenches (as well as various other tools and measurement devices) often at the company I work for. The "calibration" is just a method of validation and quality control used to verify that the tools and devices are operating within their given spec.Question on the Seekonk torque wrenches, I notice that the label on mine gives a calibration date in 2 months. Is this necessary or critical? Have any of you noticed this and did you have it done?

Hoping to get it together on Sunday with biffj so hopefully complete pics soon!!
Damn that sucks man. You are right. It could be worse. I don't think DTA is going out of business anytime soon, and my FFL is my buddy. I was pretty pissed earlier. I'm back to loving my Covert. I guess I should be happy I at least got it! That's more than most have.Could be worse. I waited 7 months to discover my FFL in Louisiana lost my paperwork, so it was never submitted. Then they filed for bankruptcy. Luckily it was only a Sparrow and not a Surefire or similarly-priced product.

No need to worry here. Your Seekonk wrench isn't going to magically stop working once it is "out" of calibration. If you were operating a large company and had to "guarantee" that the parts that were going out your door were indeed "good" parts and within their own spec, you'd want to keep your tools calibrated.
Now if your slinging your wrench around in the mud day in and day out, you may want to have it calibrated to make sure it still torques correctly.
I wouldn't worry about getting it re-calibrated. I guess it could be thought of as an "insurance" policy. I bet if you somehow stripped some threads (although unlikely) with an uncalibrated torque wrench, someone could try to get out of having to fix you up with warranty repairs. I highly doubt DTA would check something like that, and even if they did (again unlikely), they'd probably still fix the issue.Thanks, I was just curious if in fact would loose it's torque spec's. I have 5 conversions and use it quite often. Checking Seekonk's site it cost about half of what a new wench cost to have done if I remember correctly.

@ssnfa
Whats the turnaround time with Brothers Hydrographics? Are you pleased with how the work turned out?
That setup looks real real nice!! Considering something similar for mine... If it ever gets here... <sigh>
ssnfa, Looks awesome man. I'm curious of what the durability of the "dip" is compared to Cerakote
Well, if you can find a dealer that has one in stock, that's probably your fastest option but I haven't seen a lot of dealers stocking parts like that; mostly just conversions, rifles and some accessories. I'd give DTA a call.

DTA quoted 3-4 months. If anyone has a suggestion it lead on where to find one I would really appreciate it.
I cut my SRS handguard off to covert size on a mill, rounded off the sharp edges with a drimel tool and then hydrocoated it and I think it looks fine.....and it was FREE!!
See pics above of the ATACS DTA.
Hayden033 I see your a millet fan so I'm guessing that's what you will be running on your covert! You should be fine.
I might actually have to resort to doing that. I will just have the covert length barrel but will be unable to shoot it without the covert handguard. I should have checked on handguard availability before ordering the covert barrel.
If you ordered that barrel from DTA, you may as well just order the handguard and have both in case you ever want nightvision. That barrel won't be showing up at your doorstep anytime in the near future.
