Actually, I was thinking about the ATN digital scope. I think the 6x was selling for about $250, but the reviews were pretty mixed. Looks like people either love it or don't have a thing good to say about it. The X-Sight sort of looks like where I expected this technology to go, but I can't...

Yeah, I'm probably not going to go that route. Just looking into the options. Might build another gun. The head mount thing looks like the way to go, though.

Thanks kwguy. That's pretty much what I was looking for. I was under the impression that a lot of the NV scopes had their own reticle and I would have thought that mounting the SPARC in front would sort of defeat the purpose of getting a quick sight picture. Yeah, the prices for the scopes...

I just built an AR15 and bought a Vortex SPARC red dot sight for it. Have been thinking about night vision and wondered what would be best paired with the SPARC since it appears to be compatible with night vision devices. Am I supposed to get something that threads directly into the sight...

I remember putting down an opossum that the dog had attacked and had a spine injury. It took me six 9mm rounds, the first two of which were fragmenting. This was from about 2 feet. I now follow Gibb's rule and always carry a knife, and I've noticed that the knife is always sharper than the...

I have personal experience with this after trying to drill out some pocket clip mounting holes for my Emerson knife with Ti liners. The material got so hard I couldn't get anything through it and it bonded to the drill bit. I've heard of people machining a Ti block into a lower receiver...

Senate legislative rules are very quirky and hard to follow compared to House rules. I used to know them better because I was on a legislative staff, but have forgotten a lot of it. At any rate eventually they'd have to get two versions in both houses with exactly the same wording and that's...

If they confiscate my guns I hope they let me keep my Howitzers. Those are collectors items and as long as I can lift them and carry them one step then I'm allowed to "bear" them, right? Need to do more pushups, though.

Phaser with stun setting. They'll have those by then won't they?

Oh, about Hillary I'm a political scientist so I guess I have a little wisdom in this area and Hillary is way over-billed as a politician. She's really not very good. Her husband made her look good. And she's now old and, frankly, pretty damaged goods. If they can hang Benghazi on anyone...

I'm spending what money I have on building a weapon, not on ammo. When I get my AR-15 put together I'll start looking for ammo but would rather spend it now on getting a good gun. I also have a few pistols and about 600 rounds of good .22LR and about 300 9mm. I know that's not considered...

If a critical case arises they can reach down to a lower court and simply take the case. It's called Writ of Certiorari.

This guy has always reminded me of some of the inbred "Princelings" that ruled Europe after the decline of the Roman Empire and before the rise of the Franks. I'm sure there's a genetic explanation.

Thanks for the advice. I think I've decided to build or buy an Adams piston system. I may have to use other parts and then use their conversion kit, so if I go with the Seekins upper it uses a titanium barrel nut that just has flat sides so you use an ordinary 9/8ths wrench. I used to have a...

I guess there are no ideas, huh? Well, I'll wait until I get the parts and have to install the barrel nut. I may get a Seekins, in which case I wouldn't even need a barrel nut wrench, but looking at the conventional nut in pictures just about any sort of notched wrench would work. The only...

I think it's some kind of a camera lens case. My dad was a photographer and had lots of that kind of stuff lying around. (Of course, if I got my grubby mitts on it I usually ruined it, so wasn't allowed to touch. But it looks familiar.)

I'd like to get the Wylde chambered barrel, but you know... I'll take what I can find.

From what I've read an upper action block is a better way to secure things when adding or changing a barrel than a barrel clamp, so I ordered a DPMS Panther Claw in anticipation of working on my build. (I currently have a complete lower, including stock.) Then some guy on the AR.15 site said...

Thanks. So I can order an A3 upper and still use an M4-cut barrel? Are there any disadvantages to doing that. Feed problems, accuracy, caliber limitations, etc.? I'm thinking of getting a Wylde barrel with M4-cuts so can I use that with an A3 upper? Does it have to be a Wylde upper to get...

I'm learning a lot of nomenclature but sometimes the stuff throws me. I understand that you can't use an upper with M4 ramps with a barrel that has rifle cuts, but I assumed that would be determined by length of the barrel. Apparently there are lots of rifle-length barrels that use M4 ramps...
