I've been meaning to stick a flip-up front sight on my railed gas block for a while now. I looked at the offerings from YHM, MI, GG&G and others and none of them struck my fancy for some reason, so naturally I was very interested when Troy decided to produce a gas block-mounted front sight. I...

Yeah, I just got out the calipers and did some measuring of the original FSB and the YHM sight. Their dimensions are definitely very different, so it makes sense now, wish I thought of that sooner. Guess it's time to test fire and see if the gas port is lined up...

I'm helping my cousin install a YHM flip-up gas block on his Bushmaster, and it would appear there is a slight fitment issue. When installed, the YHM sight/gas block does not completely cover the unfinished sections of the barrel where the old FSB was previously mounted. Installing the...

I'm shopping around for a flip-up front sight to mount onto my gas block and I'm really eyeballing up the new gas block sight from Troy. The only thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger (no pun intended) on the Troy sight is the fact that it has a swivel attachment on the sides of...

I'm in a similar situation, I also need to get a flip-up front sight of some kind for my railed gas block. I think I've narrowed my selection to either the MI or the new Troy sight., although I briefly considered GG&G and YHM as well. Has anyone used the gas block variants of any of...

I've got a quick question about AR-15 gas blocks with rails on the top of them (most claim to be weaver rails). Are they all usually the same height? Is there some standardized height that everyone uses for railed gas blocks, or do they often vary from manufacturer to manufacturer? I'm just...

Glad to know there is no real "overkill." Hopefully I can find "a" decent long range nearby to go to so this will without a doubt not be an issue. I'm kinda pissed right at the moment because I went up to the club I was intending to shoot at tonight to get a membership application. As I was...

I've been slowly buying parts in anticipation of the Bohica Arms FAR-50 upper that is due in at the end of March. Tonight I finally made the decision to buy a 20X Super Sniper scope after reading a number of positive reviews about it. There is a club about 35-40 minutes away has a 1000 yard...

Good to know. Thanks.

Whats the advantage of the "Match" chamber? And will it likely matter at all with surplus ammo?

My dad has been very very VERY slowly building a target AR for the past several months. He just now got around to finally finishing the lower receiver completely. He put down "20-inch upper with 1-8 twist" on his Christmas list and I'm thinking about buying him one. He wasn't exactly specific...

Finished the conversion a few days ago and just now got around to the pictures. The fruits of my labor:

OK, my sister has been involved with a guy now for a while now who is, for lack of a better description, a worthless piece of crap. Both myself and my mom and dad are highly suspicious of this guy. The guy lives on his friend's couch, and more or less moves from couch to couch as he wears out...

Not too long ago I was talked into going to a strip club with some buddies of mine. I volunteered to be the designated driver as I had to get up early and work the next day, and since I wasn't doing any drinking I decided to carry into the club as there were no signs or laws that otherwise...

I guess I take a 50/50 approach when it comes to Loaded Chamber Indicators. On one hand I DO trust a LCI enough to tell that there IS indeed a round in the chamber. However on the other hand I do not trust a LCI to tell me that there IS NOT a round in the chamber, if that makes any sense.
