I tried one out and I liked it a lot. I am not in a rush to purchase one but when there are more out there and the prices normalize I would like to add one to the collection. I did not feel like I was giving up much to an AR-15, including reloading split times (which we tested). The trigger was...

Yeah, you have to get very low on them, but I find it doable just not comfortable. To me it is a fine tradeoff for the lower cost, lower snagging, and quick takeup.

If you have a top rail, I am very fond of the XS offset sights, and my ACOG (TA31) is one of the few that they work with with complete clearance. They are low, not easy to snag, fast, and even work in the dark. They are basically pistol sights, but that makes them perfect for me for 0-25...

For that money you can get a Burris Fastfire II and Burris AR-F3 mount. This combination offers a nice red dot, the right height, lots of protection, and best of all the combination weighs .22lbs. This is the combo I use on lightweight AR-15s. Most of the bigger red dots weigh the better part...

Thanks for showing the selection up north!

I have a crosshair one and I zeroed the first crosshair at 100m. I know some of the other ones are a little tricky to understand, but the crosshair one has subtensions for every 100m, works like a top on my rifle.

There are some "confusing" listings on gunbroker, but not all of them are always the fault of the seller. For instance, there is an auction right now where "80% lower" is listed in the title and description, and only 80% lowers are shown in the picture. However, this lower has markings and a...

You could also get a fixed rear sight which would not take up as much room. I now use fixed sites with my EOTech setup, and I find I really like it.

My better half has a bright pink cerakoted Glock 35, she loves it. I got a set of the pink magpul furniture but the demand for AR-15s went nuts before I could get a carbine length upper. That will become part of a future gift. It is a small price to pay to get the important people in my life...

I have the Dremel housing you are referencing, I would not go near anything I cared about with it. I find it very useful as a third hand to hold the Dremel for some tasks, but it is not nearly solid enough for any kind of precision work. A drill press would be the minimum, a mill would make...

I have a Sub-2000 and a Lone Wolf AR pistol lower with a 7.5" DI upper, both set up for .40 S&W. They share ammo and magazines with my pistol of choice. The Sub-2000 was unbelievably cheap used, runs everything I throw at it, has okay sights and accuracy, actually rather stout recoil (for...

I gave up on attaching anything to mine. There is no way to conveniently mount a scope that does not hurt the ability to fold it into a small package.

Here is the pic at the crimp, .391

I pulled one. Yikes. The first picture is just the bullet. The measurement at the crimp was .391. The measurement about two thirds of way down the bullet was .397 (in the picture). At the base the bullet was .399.

I just purchased two 100 round boxes of .40 WWB value packs, and almost all of my rounds are crimped like this. I found this thread archived when googling about this issue. Here are some pics below. This ammo fits in my .40 case guages, and does still headspace at the case mouth, but it sure...
