So all things considered, which one did you like better?

Sounds like this is the way I'll end up going. Longevity is important to me (within reason, I realize I'm not buying an Aimpoint). How about a $80 - $100 thats built like a tank and will last a fair amount of time? Size and weight aren't all that important, I'm not bringing my .22 to...

Thanks for the info everyone. How about closer to the $50 price point? This red dot is going to permanently live on my .22 rifles, so 5.56 or stronger durability isn't really a consideration.

Thank you, this is exactly the type of response I was looking for, although I would still like to hear what other people have working for them. You wouldn't happen to know whether that's a 1/2" or 1" riser would you? I checked their website and UTG sells both.

Hi all, Recently I've been really enjoying my CMMG dedicated .22 AR upper, and I've been thinking about getting a cheap red dot for the extra fun factor. I've had positive experiences with the Millet I bought for my 10/22, but this time I'm looking for something a little more specific. My upper...

Hi All, I apologize in advance if this falls in the shotgun category rather than in rifles. I remember way back when I was reading a thread on this forum discussing the possibility of a shotgun upper for an AR-15. One of the big technical hurdles was the limited size of the magazine well...

Hi all, So far all the ARs I own have 20" barrels, rifle length gas systems, and A2 stocks. I've recently been looking into getting a shorter carbine. I live in Connecticut, and therefore all my rifles have to have fixed stocks to comply with the CT assault weapons ban. My question is: if I put...

Would you mind clarifying this point? I'd be curious to know what the reason for adding the dust cover was if it wasn't in response to keeping dirt out of the internals.

Hi all, The more I look at the new revolution uppers from CMMG, the more I want one. I already have a rifle from them, and I love it. Does anyone have any firsthand experience with their new product line? I've always wondered why nobody tried this before, and I've always thought a left side...

Thanks for the info guys. I guess this begs the question of whether or not the 7mm, or any of the short magnums, is worth the extra expense over my current 30-06. I mostly hunt deer, and while bigger game is a possibility sometime in the future, I can't really think of anything roaming North...

Hey everyone. The other day my friend offered to let me shoot his Browning 7mm short mag. While shooting it was nice, I don't really know much about the cartridge itself. Can anyone familiar with the round describe its performance to me? Is it known for accuracy, velocity, stopping power, etc...

Wow, there have been some great insights so far. I'm particularly impressed by the people who went so far as to test the various methods out themselves. I noticed there was mention that many training classes are teaching the edge of hand method, but the consensus among the shooters on this forum...

I have had that problem in the past. My software solution was to push my off hand towards the gun harder to keep my hand from sliding off, hence my worries about long term damage. I would think a decent hardware solution would be to install an extended latch so the edge of your hand has more to...

Hello THR, I've recently been getting into some more serious shooting with my AR (3-gun competitions and the like, and I'm going to take a carbine class once I have enough money saved for it). One of the questions I've been pondering lately is what the "best" way to manipulate the charging...

Thanks, I'll start there. While we're at it, what's the difference between solid and two piece forearms?

Hi all, I recently purchased a dedicated .22 upper for my AR. It's a 20" barrel model made by CMMG, with A2 style handguards. I'm looking to get a quad rail for it, almost definitely a full length like those found on the M16A4. Most of the ones I've found so far are either really expensive...

The whole inspiration for the project hinged around two considerations. First, that I had a pressing desire for an AR, but knew I would never shoot it if I had to dish out so much money for center fire. Second, that if I was going to justify spending a sizable chunk of change on a new rifle I...

Thanks, that's a good point I hadn't even thought about. Any ammo recommendations? Found anything your particular setup has really liked?

ugaarguy, I'll definitely take the PSA kit into consideration. It won't save me a ton of money, but if the quality is better than what I have currently it seems like a good route to go. As for the CMMG upper, I just realized its actually the M4 LEP, which is $20 less. That $110 is actually...

Sadly, here in CT that collapsible stock would put me over the "banned" features limit. I appreciate the suggestion though.
