Yeah, don't get discouraged about bad accuracy with the 62 grain bullet you tried or believe the CS guy at Beretta. I have a few 1-8 twist 223/5.56 barrels and they all shoot 69 and 75-77 grain bullets very well, and while I don't have all of my reloading/shooting notes in front of me at the...

It's been over 4 days but I have picked up a Gen 2 Ruger American in 223, 100 rounds each of AAC 5.56 75gr BTHP and and 77gr SMK's, a Trijicon Credo 2-10x36, and a Ruger Hawkeye African in 416 Ruger.

The 7.62x39 will work great as a deer rifle, I have a CZ 527 in that caliber. It's a great walking around gun and perfectly adequate for shots out to around 150-200 yards on deer size game. Mine really likes the Tula 154 SP ammo, S&B 123 SP, and Hornady Black 123 SST. It will shoot the Tula and...

With the recent eForms predicament and work travel slowing everything down, I was able to certify today and get everything submitted. Any takers on how long it'll take a trust with 2 RP's who both have DoD clearances to get approved?

I have quite a few AR's now in several different calibers, I've had 3 Mini-14's but don't anymore so I guess that shows my answer. I like the Mini-14 but it's aftermarket support is limited and it's performance is lacking for my usage. The AR is better in both respects and is more comfortable...

I've actually thought about this for several years and what I was envisioning was something that used the standard bolt with a modified bolt carrier to still provide the camming action with a K31ish bolt handle that pivoted fore and aft with a tail section that moved to block the firing pin to...

I'll make sure I do reach out once I make a decision on which to get. Thank you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your workmanship first hand, I'm sure I'll be pleased.

I really like the Magpul MS slings, I normally buy the MS4 specifically, but if you just want a decent GI style sling them these work pretty good. I have a couple I bought for shooting appleseed events. https://www.amazon.com/AmmoGarand-Green-Garand-Pattern-Cotton/dp/B072M6WBN4 I've also had...

I actually think your Gyrex would be better for all of the guns I will be using these on, I just can't convince myself to put a muzzle brake on it in case I decide to shoot them unsuppressed, with the exceptionof the SBR's since they're under 12". That's really the only reason I am considering...

Just ordered the Accipiter and Five by Five. Now I really have to make a decision on the mounts. Right now I'm torn between the Gyrex and the Rearden taper mount.

If we were limited to red dots like the one in you picture I would agree with you, but with the newer slide mounted red dots that weigh two ounces or less I disagree. This was my first duty sized pistol with a red dot and it took less than a month of practicing with it before I was able to...

Suppressors do play havoc on shot timers. I've seen them fail to pick up suppressed 10.5" ARs in 5.56 if I was holding the timer near the ejection port with the microphone facing it, even at indoor ranges.

Yeah, astigmatism plays a big role in what works best for you as well. I have a very mild astigmatism myself and even though red dots work fine for me green dots are much clearer. Also, if you wear polarized lens then you will likely have a bigger problem seeing the dot as well with either red...

Like others have said it really comes down to preference but I do prefer the dot and target centered in the glass even with my pistols. One of the big issues I have seen with shooters who are used to iron sights switching to red dots on pistols is their head and shoulder position while firing...

I just shoot it off hand at a know distance usually 10, 15, or 25 yards and adjust based off of where the rounds are hitting, at most I will rest my strong arm against a wall to help steady it a bit if I'm shooting at 25. I also don't do groups to sight in a handgun but single shots and adjust...
