I've been unsuccessfully looking for a rail riser to raise an Aimpoint 3/4". I just got an Aimpoint Comp C3 and would like to use the ring that was supplied with it due to my budget. The problem is that I would like to have lower 1/3 cowitness but a 1/2" riser only brings it up to absolute...

Thanks to all for the replies so far, great options in there.

I'm on the hunt for a fixed blade knife, ideally about 4", drop/spear point, wood or nice looking handle, no serrations, about $100 or less. Doesn't have to exactly fit all those criteria, just looking for something along those lines and with a little character. It will go hiking and camping...

Thank you all for the helpful replies! Keep 'em coming...

I'm looking for some belt mounted kydex mag pouches for 5.56 Pmags. I would prefer single pouches rather than multiples. I'll be using them mostly on the range and in some classes. Looking for your input! Who has used what and how do you like them? Am I barking up the wrong tree, let me know...

While the 158gr may not have transferred all of its energy, it did transfer all the energy that the target could possibly absorb. Whereas the 125 did transfer all of its energy but the target still had more energy to potentially be absorbed. It isn't about expending all of a bullet's energy...

RE: 33 round mags. They way I see it, we do not have to defend the use of such magazines. The ones who should have to defend their position are the ones trying to take away anyone's rights or privileges. This extends to anything, not just 33 round mags, but they will be my example. What is it...

After jumping the gun twice the first time and being a sluggish snail, I pulled it together and became a bobbing bobcat. Pretty interesting.

Why is that, specifically?

Same answer as several others. THR had the best information. While trying to find the answers to a variety of firearm questions, searches kept directing me to THR threads that contained the most thorough, well reasoned, and correct responses of all the gun boards online. I stay for the wealth...

Is the slide stop stuck in the up position or is it down and the slide is still stuck locked back?

Yes. The AK design doesn't have a long mag well like the AR to support the mag (because AK mags don't need extra support) so there will be some play in it side to side, you just don't want excessive amounts of wobble. Yes. The front sight, gas block or both just may be cocked off to one side...

Was it decidedly found to be the fault of the lacquer coating, the steel case or some other factor? We all know how guns guys like to diagnose problems.:)

As stated before, problems with WASRs are vastly overstated. Those problems also seem to be corrected as of the last few years from what I can tell looking at gun show/shop examples. I own a WASR bought in '07, no canted sights, mag wobble is negligible, 100% reliable. Check one out yourself...

You saw the lacquer coating gum up a chamber or you saw a lacquer coated case get stuck? The internet myth is that the coating will melt off in a hot chamber and gum things up.
