I have an EOTECH 511 and love it. I do worry about reports of EOTECH unreliability, and I bought it used; but at least it still has a year of warranty left on it. So if it breaks I hope it does so soon. Battery life sucks but I keep a bunch of spares in my range bag. I have astigmatism, and...

I can hardly find any, stores or online. I was downstate last week and saw Blazer Brass for 23 bucks a box, but couldn't bring myself to buy at that price. If this complete shortage continues I might start to regret my cheapness.

I have never personally shot my .45 that way. Though once at the range, I let a friend of mine shoot off a magazine while I shot a rifle. He was standing to the right of me on the shooting line. I started noticing that .45 brass was flying in front of me, which I thought was odd since we were...

Probably a nice lever action.

I have astigmatism corrected with toric contact lenses, no problems here using my Eotech. Without the lenses in the reticle is just a mass of fuzz.

Nice rifle, enjoy it!

My general rule is to completely cover ammo costs for the first time I'm taking someone out. I consider it doing a good service to the shooting community by introducing someone new to the sport. Though if there are range fees they still pay that. After the first time or two out, I start asking...

I ordered 3 last night when they were still 9.99, but now they are showing as 13.99. Hopefully Impact still honors my order at the 9.99 price.

The condition happened with a variety of enbloc clips. I haven't changed ammunition, still shooting Greek surplus. I ordered a new bullet guide and heavy duty clip latch spring from Fulton Armory. I figure replacing these two parts will fix the problem without leaving me with a weakened spring.

I think I might have this fixed thanks to 61chalk... I pulled off the clip latch, detached the spring, and stretched it out a bit. I'm now getting the click when i push down on the enbloc and the bolt slightly rides forward ready for the op rod bump. I can't get out to the range until Friday...

Here is a link to the pics I took. It was tough for me to get good pictures of the insides so this may not help much. http://img195.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=img0175mediumg.jpg

I believe the chip latch is in ok. I'll actually post some pictures in just a bit of the interior of the gun best I can. Guess that would help since I'm having trouble describing things.

I'm applying a lot of downward force on the top round in the enbloc clip. The bolt never even jumps forward a bit to allow the manual bump that sends it home. It just stays fully latched open.

I purchased a Garand two summers back. It functioned fine last summer, and I took apart the rifle and oiled and greased it per instructions to put it away for the winter. I took the rifle out shooting for the first time since then and to my surprise it would not load from the enbloc clips. More...

I've been thinking about my next handgun purchase. Originally I was going to purchase another .45 (only handgun I own is a P220) but I think this thread has convinced me to buy a 9mm instead... maybe a CZ 75...
