    PSA levels of quality

    I use PSA as a boutique store on AR uppers. LOL. Their top end barrel is actually better than anything BCM has to offer on paper. My PSA 18in FN CHF SS410 upper shoots 3/4 groups at 100yds. My PSA FN 20in CHF CL govt barrel shoots 1in. Both using bulk match grade ammo. Lately it seems they have...

    How Much Should I Spend On A Good AR15 Scope?

    For non-competitive, long range use, Primary Arms 4-14x first focal plane scopes are the best bang for buck under $600. $230 to $280 depending on reticle choice.

    Will Optics Overtake Iron Sights on Pistols?

    No dice unless mount + sight is < $200 present value. I shoot 50+ matches a year. 40+ are outlaw matches where equipment is unlimited. Only one person occasionaly uses RMR setup.

    CuTco ?

    The pair of kitchen shears I bought 20+ yrs ago is pretty good. It still shears everything from bones to soft metal effortlessly.

    How much of a good investment is an ambi AR charging handle for a leftie like me?

    It depends on intended use. It's a worthwhile upgrade on an action match gun. Mainly you can clear a malfunction faster. Optional for public range, long range, hi-power type shooting.

    Never built an AR before, how about this complete lower

    More ammo. Better sighting system...optics. Invest your $ into the barrel initially. A CHF barrel if you want your AR barrel to last as long as your European AK barrels.

    Recommendation for a strap on gun belt

    HSGI warbelt. Your choice of regular or slim width. It stays in place all day long.

    Velocity vs Barrel length

    +1. Like the OP, I estimated my 18-in barrel rifle would shoot the ammo at 2670 fps, since factory pulished data for Hornady 75gr BTHP is 2790 fps. I sighted in the rifle at 100yds using a BDC scope. Then tried shooting 500 yd and 600 yd steel targets using the BDC lines, no hits. Asked a buddy...

    7.62 X 39 Lapua

    I bought a case of the '79 date-stamped Lapua M43 berdan-primed surplus 7.62x39 a few years ago. It consistently yields 1.5MOA groups using an Arsenal SGL-21. An unissued Yugo M59/66 with upgraded iron sights is close to 1MOA for 5-shot groups at 200 yards. I remember someone published a...

    Idpa classifier

    According to the internet rumors, if you practice this classifier enough times, you can eventually make it to the MA level without attending a single IDPA match. :) Personally I have never been able to move up the classification ladder at the classifiers. Match bumps only over the past few...

    Single point slings. Want opinions, please.

    Magpul MS3, or MS2. If you decide later on the single point sling setup isn't for you, just switch to the 2-point mode on these slings.

    Need suggestions for a red dot/scope combo

    If OP wants affordable name brand stuff. Aimpoint PRO + Primary Arms 3x magnifier combo is under $500. Else an Eotech XPS + PA magnifier. If it's only for range use, Primary Arms brand red dots + magnifier combo can be had for under $200. If minimum shooting distance is 100yds, I'd skip the...

    Which Country for SKS

    My unissued Yugo M59/66 can print very respectable groups at 200 yards. Sights have been replaced with Tech sights. It took a few shots to adjust the POI since the typical diet for this rifle has been Wolf HP, which also shoots pretty good in Yugos.

    Lancaster AKs - any good?

    +1. You can't expect much when $1k buys you 3 AK74s.
