All,
I've seen that a lot of folks on this forum advocate using lubricants such as synthetic motor oil on their firearms under the auspices of saving $. I'll use Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil as an example since I've seen it mentioned frequently. What I haven't seen mentioned is the potential...
I have my own opinion based on experience with both, but will hold off on stating it as I'm interested to see what others have to say. I prefer to hear from those who have actual experience with both vs. a one-sided biased opinion.
I understand that the bill is not in final form, and transport seems to be open to interpretation from what I've read. My question is this:
How does this legislation impact NFA Registry weapons? I am specifically referring to SBRs and machineguns, particularly of the AR variety, since they...
Bowhunted APG this morning. Had a good set-up....until that rain rolled in hard. Man, it was coming down. I gutted it out until 1030. Saw 1 doe and 2 fawns. Disappointing morning. May go out this afternoon if it lets up.
I picked up a new carbine- a Daniel Defense M4V1. I've always liked the idea of a rail extending forward of the FSB. I changed a few things over the stock configuration and they include: swapped the MOE stock for a LMT SOPMOD with battery tubes removed (it is actually lighter than the MOE or...
The following is a brief AAR on the EAG Tactical (Pat Rogers) Basic Carbine Course conducted in Culpepper, VA on 25-26 June. It is a modified version of the AAR I posted on Lightfighter.net. For those that are unfamiliar with Pat Rogers and EAG Tactical, Pat is considered one of the foremost...
Kudos to NFA Branch and N. Flanigan. I sent two 5320's on Tuesday morning. I marked "Please Expedite" on the registered mail pouch and a brief note inside explaining why. The approved 5320s came in Saturday's mail. No phone calls...that is good service and I appreciate it. I will be sending...
Their operation is being liquidated this month. Unless someone buys 'em and cranks it back up, they're done. Daniel Defense was close about a year or so ago. Maybe they'll pull it out as well.
Here is a pic of my first 2011 procurement, a Lewis Machine and Tool (LMT) MWS in .308 with 16" chrome lined barrel (1-10 twist) along with the little brother MRP. I got it out to the range on Monday and dialed it in with M80 ball at 50yds with the BUIS and T1. She shoots nice and tight. It...
Anyone seen it? It is sweet. I'm thinking it might be my new rough country hunting rifle. Can't link from my phone, but .308, 7pds, 5 & 10 rd mags, Picatinny scout rail, ring capable, BUIS, and 5/8x24 threaded. Pretty cool.
I took my GAP Crusader out to Mayberry yesterday to verify some dope. I was shooting American Ballistics M118LR and FGMM. Both loads were 175gr. 3rd Rcn had told me that the American Ballistics 175s were not SMKs and you can see the difference. I was dialing +3.5 mils for the AB at 500yds...
Mods,
If you can think of a better place to put this, feel free.
Okay, tss1004 PM’ed me with a question about battle belts. It is easy enough to make a recommendation on brand, but tough to explain issues with holsters. I decided to write it up, show you my rig, and let you make your own...
I've been seeing plenty of deer in the past week, but I've been holding out. I've passed on 4 young bucks over the past 5 days. 2 of them were directly beneath my stand smelling the cover scent I laid down. I had a nice 8+ pointer at 40yds last night, but it was getting dark and I couldn't be...
In the background is a Browning Citori 4 barrel skeet set circa 1984. I had an adjustable comb installed- great gun.

Benelli M1S90 H&K import. Factory ghost ring sights, extended bolt handle, side saddle, extended mag tube, H&K factory recoil reducer, and pre-Surefire...
I figured it was time for me to write something up as I’ve been lazy as of late. I got to the range late yesterday having missed the monthly plate match and ran into a few MDS members. Alucard asked me what was my “go to carbine.” I’ve done a lot of experimenting with different set-ups over...
Picking up on an old thread where this was an arguement- it just takes the Army a little while to catch up.
Lubricating Small Arms in Desert Environments
PS Magazine
PEO Soldier recently fielded an inquiry as to what the Army’s position was on lubricating small arms in desert...
