It's usually used as a measurement of bolt velocity and/or bolt lock time. I've seen the reference used a lot in the AR world and is used as a yard stick of sorts when "tuning." Still, ejection pattern could be as much indicative of a failing extractor or ejector. It is an indicator, but not...

Right. If you think about it, it becomes simple.

When disassembling and assembling the Mark II you need to bear in mind the location of the hammer and strut. If you pull the main pin and the bolt won't come out, try pulling the trigger to relax the trigger assembly allowing the hammer to fall back to locked position. The bolt will slide right...

So, how does it cycle manually? Does it feel smooth or does it feel like it's dragging? From what's been posted, it sounds like we have a case of tolerance stacking leaning on the side of too tight. Personally, I'd rather have that problem than the other. It sounds to me like you have three...

Does it return to battery when you fire a round without the magazine inserted? If so, I'd say that mag might be dragging. If it does the same thing with a different mag, try swapping out the mag catch.

Sounds good. Looking forward to it. If the eye relief is around 3", I'd be good with that. I'm used to ACOGs.

Has any one tried one? Apparently they are of Japanese manufacture and you can dial for distance. With the simple reticle, it seems that it could be adopted to a lot of uses. What I really want to do is mount put it into an ACOG mount and put it on a flat top. If you have one, what do you...

Maybe a little late, but I consider the Strike eagle line and the Gen II PST lines to be totally different animals. The Strike eagle is a classic example of the recent trend of cramming a whole bunch of goodies into a "budget" package, which nets you a jack of all trades, but master of none. I'm...

Do you mean some sort of optical sight or do you need magnification? I played around with this a while back using a primary arms prism sight with a 9mm reticle. I think they are the Gemini models. In any case I was able to get something meaningful out of the setup using 125gr projectiles. 50...

I hate to sound like a meme, but the purpose, or mission (lol), dictates the gear. If your longest shot is only going to be 200 yards and I'll assume that you're more concerned about getting the job done than being tactical; your goal should be to help correct failing eyes rather than adding...

Shoot, at this point I wish I could go three days without making a gun related purchase. My latest ... TA11-C ACOG for my newly assembled 9" 300 Blackout. Next purchase is gonna be either an Energertic Armament Vox or an Aero Lahar 30.

Do you mean that the point of impact changes between groups? Yeah, I have this problem too. Shooting open sights takes real skill and a set of sights that lend themselves to consistency. I've always done best with an aperture rear and thin front sight. I tried filing the front sight to sort of a...

The butt is in my shoulder pocket. If you think about it, consider this ... recoil is a push to your body. Imagine a bullet hitting a hard target straight on. It smacks the target and stops. Now imagine that same bullet hitting a hard target at an angle. It will deflect and go off to the side...

Recoil control is a whole bunch of applied physics. What works best for me is getting straight behind the rifle. When I shoot from a bench, I'm sitting behind the bench and not adjacent to it. Whether I'm shooting from an improvised position or a comfy perch, I try to have my shoulders...

I hear ya. The 300 was the first assembly I did for myself in a while. Mine is a 9" ballistic advantage. All I've shot through it is the AAC 110gr Sabers and Black Dot 110gr V-Max. I put a TA11C ACOG on top with a piggy back red dot. I'm just used to that rig. I was able to take it out today...

Oh, man. At that rate, I wouldn't be worried at all about barrel wear. I suppose the only real comparison I can make is to .308 because that's what I have experience with and I got 5k rounds out of my Krieger stainless barrels and then I only had to have it rechambered to refresh the throat...

Assuming that you are going to thread the barrels, there are 3 ways to extend the length of the barrel. 1. Pin and weld. 2. Weld the muzzle device to the barrel using 3 or 4 (I don't remember which) equidistant welds that cover half of the total circumference of the barrel 3. Silver solder. I...

I went to all synthetic stuff a while a go. I shoot mostly AR platform stuff. High volume shooting. When my rigs get nasty, I'll literally hose them down and scrub them out with dawn dish detergent. Hose them off and blow out with air. The bore and parts with carbon or copper fouling get...

Ok, man. That's disappointing to hear, but thanks. It looks like the smart thing to do will be to go with something like a sico 9k for the 9mm and get a vox s for everything else.

Nope, I mean arrested. Just because a shooting occurred that was clearly some measure of self defense, doesn't necessarily make it justified. Of course, there may be a larger amount of discretion used in smaller jurisdictions, but generally speaking, yeah. You shoot someone, you're going to jail.
