I like the PWS FSC-30. Took it off my SCAR, so I could add a fast attach can, and moved it to a cheap Century L1A1 that wasn't threaded concentrically. Except it is almost comically loud.

The camera phone didn't pick up the dot very well. I am inside in a well lit room and it is a little brighter than that. Outside with a new battery, the dot is still easily visible, even against a white backdrop in the AZ sun, I haven't gotten to try a dead battery. The auto bright setting is...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Black Spider Optics. Nearest I can tell, they are really new and related somehow to Spike's Tactical, although their site doesn't mention it. I picked one up at my LGS for super cheap, way under MSRP, and MSRP is about 180 ish.... and internet...

My vote is for the 300blk. I have readily drank the AAC Kool aid. I don't know if this is against the rules, but check out 300blktalk.com for a ton of info on the cartridge. Forum just like this one, but 300blk specific. If I want to shoot 7.62x39 I use my SKS or my AK. But I would say...

Whenever I let the dog out to eat, I always take my pistol out. I have heard of a friend of a friend who's Chihuahua was snatched up by coyotes in his yard as the dog sat at his feet. And I have seen a pack of coyotes take down a small cow, really small, for a cow and injured by her limp. No...

ordered one on midway about a month ago....actually now that I think about it it may be a 4 round, but I'm not at home to check

The m&p 10 uses Pmags, DPMS uses Pmags, maybe you could use the DPMS 5 round LR-308 mag?

27 and kimber ultra carry 2 in the summer and Remington 1911r1 in the winter.

First, congrats on the new purchase. Second, I have had a Remington 1911r1 since pretty close to when they came out, and I also had an issue similar to yours near the end of the magazines. And, not that it's any help, but maybe it's a little hope. My springs wore in a little and the problem...

From my (limited) experience, a FAL is NOT a Minute Of Angle-gun, it is a Minute of Man-gun

Conservation of ammo. The one to the head is only if the two to the chest don't work. Hence the name "failure to stop drill."

@ ambidextrous1.......When I was in Iraq in '07 my combat load, as an Marine infantryman for our average 10km patrol was approximately 100 lbs....including, rifle, pistol, ammo, body armor, LBV, etc....

I was USMC Infantry (0331) in Iraq 05-06 and 07, and Afghanistan 08, the knife I used the absolute most and was the most useful (for various reasons) was my traditional style, USMC KA-BAR. I still carry it when I hunt or go on long trips. And it stays by my bedside when I'm not carrying it

i've always used the tip of a fmj round....

I bought a stag model 2 right after I came back from my first (of 3) deployment to Iraq, as a Marine grunt and I have loved it the whole time. The only thing I changed was a mil surplus quad rail with a broom handle. No problems...always fired, dead balls accurate, awesome rifle
