Thanks for the input, Rail Driver. I'd like to hang on to my current upper as-is, though (guess I should have specified). I was hoping someone could point me toward a manufacturer/builder/seller who offers what I'm looking for. I've looked at Daniel Defense and Noveske. Theirs are right at...

I got the chance to handle a WC UT-15 at my LGS yesterday. I LOVED the weight and balance, but choked on the $2700 price tag. So now I'm looking for a way to get a "similar" product at a lower price point. My preferred option is to just buy a new "semi custom" upper that replicates the UT-15...

Dr Tad, I've looked at the 1.25, but the FOV with the 30mm is much better. Bily, I did a little research and apparently you have the green triangle. May I ask again why you chose the triangle over the crosshairs?

Yes, exactly like that. Which reticle do you pick and why?

Anyone have any experience with the Trijicon Accupoint's?

I've been shopping for a 1-4x for a while now to put on top of my AR-15. I've read all the threads I can find, but everything just seems to keep me going in circles. The big issues that I have with products in my price range are battery life and daylight visibility. I've lurked patiently...

Thanks for the input, guys, but I'm really not looking for anything that requires batteries (or fiber optics/tritium). I probably wasn't too clear, but when I said "reflexive" I was talking about sights like the Trijicon that use fiber/tritium. My question is: "Why does something like a...

Could someone please explain to me why true 1x optics still have a limited eye relief? I am looking for a battery free option with similar capabilities to Eotechs and Aimpoints. I'm not a fan of the way reflexive sights perform in some light conditions. I found the Leupold Prismatic sight...

Sorry for the late replies. Loooong day at work. To answer the question, no, I did not install it myself. I bought the upper assembled from RifleGear. The forearm has 4 pairs of allen screws that seem simple enough to loosen and retighten. I'm just not sure if it would actually help or...

I need some suggestions for fixing the backup iron sights (currently the only sights) on my new AR-15. The rear sight adjustment is maxed out to the left, but it is still shooting 2-3 inches right at 50 yards. The the front sight is rail-mounted, and the forearm is ever-so-slightly...

When I was growing up my grandfather had a S&W rifle. It was his favorite rifle and he was very good with it. Unfortunately it was stolen some time in the late 80s. He replaced it with a Model 70, but said it just wasn't the same even though it was "basically the same rifle." I always...

I'm building up a CMMG stripped lower and putting a Rock River NM trigger in, but I'm having trouble with the pins. I know there are two different sizes, and I ordered the small/standard size pins, but they aren't fitting. The instructions that came with the trigger say that it needs to be...

Thanks for the info. I kind of figured the LMT upgrade was unnecessary. mbpautz762, Three months & no upper - yikes! Is that normal, or is there some special reason yours is taking so long? I may need to give them a call and get an idea of what the wait time would be. rbernie...

I'm planning to buy an upper from CMMG. The primary purpose would be putting holes in paper. Might do some duty as a home defense rifle, and I've always wanted to give 3-gun a try. Regardless, I don't expect to put thousand and thousands of rounds down range. This will be my first and...
