1-8 SFP model. I’m normally fond of FFP - but realize for this type of reticle/scope/purpose there really is no benefit (or at least not one that outweighs the cons). Green illuminated is daylight bright. I was super skeptical of that claim but at 1545 today in bright afternoon sun I was...
Convinced my bride that metal business cards are a nice touch… She was cool with me acquiring a fiber laser. Of course I’ve got the business card templates mocked up - but I’m having way to much fun doing custom engraving for my favorite hobby! Just messed around with a couple of files but...
I need new camo. I bought some red head coveralls two seasons ago (almost entirely because my old red head jacket I bought in 2009 was still kicking and built like a tank - didn't stop to think that BPS had ruined the brand). They are warm, but otherwise awful; noisy and the main zipper is...
Managed to grab one of the 50 (still not sure how). Just got an email with instructions and the like, which I am posting here. Interested to hear the thoughts of other progressive owners - I'm stepping up from using a single for two decades and a turret for the last 5 years.... I will be...
Summit 180 climber (350 lb rating that counting gear I’m comfortably 75 under). Felt it give a bit climbing down this morning, thought I’d broke free of some bark. Went to go up this afternoon and noticed paint flaking at the weld by sheer luck; put some weight on it and boom it was six inches...
I finally have my 6.5cm AR running (by swapping to a PWS upper, which is **** by the way). Running the BCG, including bolt, I’m getting a bit of case swipe and cratering (see photos). Oddly enough, this is with factory Hornady 143 ELD-X - 143’s loaded with Superformance near (but not at) load...
Found some toys for 25% less than any of the standard fare sellers…. BBB has them as seemingly reputable, but the price is really in the “too good to be true” realm… (for comparison sake I checked some other known quantities, like Geissele triggers and their prices suck)
Okay, I've been putting around with a FLIR Zeus thermal and "old fashioned" rangefinder dangling from my neck. I know Armasight made the AMRF2200 rangefinder that could clip on to the side picatinny rail (and integrate with the Zeus via the IO port), and I know SilencerCo made the Radius that...
This was mentioned in passing in another thread, but it’s worth a read - not just for the draconian impact on your friendly neighborhood FFL, but also because it sneaks in redefining a receiver to: a) include 80’s, and b) make your AR upper or pistol slide now a receiver...
I have one of each RTG and HKparts. Can’t decide which to use for this reverse stretch build. I’m tempted to do them together with my two bending options, but I’d rather stick to one process at a time.
Both purchased in the last six months. Which one?
I know these are available on HKparts and RobertRTG (although usually OOS at the latter). I have a 20 ton shop press I am finishing building now so I don't need a work around to needing one of those. I was hoping I could find a lightly used version of these, but try as I might they seem to be...
Bear with me....
My night vision sucks, and I mean S-U-C-K-S. I had contemplated using my FLIR Zeus on a crossbow in the past for this reason, but never got best the "huh, that would be neat" stage of the thought process because my thermal has no reticle to account for drop (let alone arrow...

$80 off for a "blem" jig. As Dr. Good-hair puts it, this is the Cadillac of 80% AR jigs....
Found out last night that I’ve lost the farm in Western MD I’ve hunted for years (liquidated as part of a divorce). Never liked the drive, but it was a great spot. Public land is near impossible for me to hunt because some physical injuries I have make an ATV a necessity. Anyone have any...
Requires raw stainless or aluminum, but for anyone not familiar, a relatively low cost to get BATFE compliant engraving of reasonably high quality. After some research I found that the current available best option is a machine known as the “personalizer plus” which best price around and in...
Inspired by my comment in another thread, this deal deserves its own. Tactical machining has their five packs on sale for stupid cheap:

TM lowers are great quality. And while raw gives you an extra finishing step, you can electroetch...
