Firearm insurance?
This company advertises through AR15.com. I don’t know if, or how good they are. I got a quote based off of a monetary value but stopped there and it seemed reasonable. But I don’t know enough about them to say if they are good or not. And I haven’t had time to deep dive through google. But...- Ski169

LA, NM and SD 2A Updates
NM- The skeezbag governor also signed SB129 that requires a one week waiting period for firearms purchases. There is no separate state background check like MD, federal only. They also claim that if the background check cannot be completed in 30 days, then the purchase can be released. So...- Ski169

Shotgun red-dot
Thank you for the compliment Sir! It still needs some shotgun cards before it’s done. -
Shotgun red-dot
It’s an RMR 06 Type 2 with the 3.25 MOA dot on the SYNC mount. I considered an SRO for the bigger window but was more concerned about it standing up to abuse as well as the RMR. Scalarworks sells them in packages too. I believe the Aimpoint was offered as well if that might interest you... -
Shotgun red-dot
I’m sure there are better options out there depending on your preference. I went with an RMR on a Scalarworks mount on the Benelli. It’s as low as you can get to have it cowitness while keeping a proper cheekweld with the stock in the middle position. I like it enough that I will end up getting... -
Benelli M4 Magazine tube question
Sorry, no trigger work. I might reconsider that later although it wasn’t necessary for me right now. And yeah, that’s the GG&G handle and bolt release. The only thing I don’t like about the handle is that it spins/twists. It’s not locked in like the factory small handle. -
Benelli M4 Magazine tube question
I went with the full length tube since I thought it just looked cleaner. Not too difficult to swap out. I elected to go with an RMR on a Scalarworks mount. Lowest mount I could find and works well with the sights. -
Where do you buy your optics?
Depends on what I want and who has it. I just bought a limited production scope from Midway for my M110 build because they happened to have it. And it was “on sale”. And my “birthday price” took a few more bucks off. I’ve purchased direct from Leupold before. EuroOptic gets great reviews and I... -
Benelli M4 stock question
I just went with the M4 Benelli stock. However, this was maybe 5-6 years ago before prices got stupid crazy. It was still expensive but not what it is now. With that said, I wasn’t aware of any alternatives and I had to have the correct stock for the shotgun. I’m glad I did it but would probably... -
Glock backstraps
Tried the back straps. I liked the beaver tail but didn’t care for, or need, the additional circumference to the grip. I want to try cutting one down to just use the beaver tail without it adding grip size as the basic grip is fine for me. All of my Glocks are Gen4. -
Industry Partner Offering Service and Training an ARs?
You might be thinking of School Of The American Rifle (SOTAR). As I understand it, he is no longer an IP but is still an active member here by the screen name Clandestine.- Ski169

Thinking about a 10mm pistol. What are your favorites?
I have a few 1911s including a couple of Colt Delta Elites and the Springfield TRP long slide. I do enjoy them and they feel good in the hand as well as soak up recoil even with the nuclear Underwood ammo. But the capacity of the Glocks is what won out for me. I’m leaving in the morning for the... -
NM governor suspends open & concealed carry in Albuquerque for 30 days
Even the anti gun States Attorney will not support this. Just confirmed on the local news as well.- Ski169

NM governor suspends open & concealed carry in Albuquerque for 30 days
And then there’s this. The day after her majesty’s order went into effect. Ha! This isn’t far from where I work but it happened in part of the area that this is supposed to help. I doubt they will learn anything from this failed experiment...- Ski169

NM governor suspends open & concealed carry in Albuquerque for 30 days
Not that I will comply, but it sucks having to work and commute through Bernalillo County and Albuquerque. I can add this to the list of reasons I moved on the other side of the county line. This place is “Maryland light” in a lot of ways.- Ski169

Well, I took the plunge...
That’s still on my list to get. Can’t stand them after handling one at the store some time back. But I want one in the collection just to say I have one when talking trash about them. I want the newer 10mm one too. And for the price, I wouldn’t feel bad if/when it breaks. -
Need a little help. Military EIC Badge.
I second a shadow box. It should be displayed as it would be worn on the uniform with his medals and ribbons. I have an EIC badge as well and only wore it once because I HAD to wear my uniform for a promotion board. There was really no other way to have it displayed for any reason really. Just...- Ski169

AR15 Barrel advise
Take a look at Centurion. They are HBAR to comply with the stupid law in MD and will mark it. I used their MK12 barrel in my MK12 clone and it’s more accurate than I am (sub MOA). I also have the RECCE barrel but haven’t shot it yet. I also have several other barrels from them and they are... -
Requesting Advice: Long awaited AR-15 build:
I’d recommend a Centurion Arms 18” SPR barrel and BCG. I have the barrel on my MK12 build and it’s more accurate than I am on the trigger. Sub MOA without question. And they are MD compliant as well as offering HBAR engraving if you are so inclined. However, it is specifically chambered in 5.56...
