Gov supplied.

No argument there. The parts that failed shouldn't affect PX but without it, apparently none of the sites they host work? It's all Greek to me honestly.
-
Apparently the controller for the array was fried and it's a little old so finding spare parts was difficult.

The M3 AK mags came in and I've got a few modified ones being tested now. They will likely be available next week around $38-40ea.

The datacenter that hosts MidwestPX.com experienced a catastrophic hardware failure (multiple RAID stripes and the RAID controller). The hosting company is pretty certain our data was not affected because we transitioned to a new webcluster for security reasons a few months ago and the stripes that failed were pretty old. Anyhow, the earliest it could be back up and running is 2-3 days. During this outage, we won't have email access either. On the bright side, the phone still works! 815.246.2715 if you need to contact us.

Just now saw this. Sorry but at this time, no.

Tromix does and yes, mine is a SBR with a 10.5" Tromix barrel. Before buying a barrel, do some research as to who is using a genuine reamer vs the reverse engineered reamer.

I went with .458 SOCOM over .50 Beo due to bullet selection. Really what swayed me was Barnes making a 300gr .458 bullet specifically for the caliber designed to expand all the way down to 1k fps that opens up to about 0.8"

I use my A400 X-cel Parallel Target for trap as well as waterfowl. $1300 is a great price for one brand new. The Kick-Off system does a great job of mitigating recol and it feels like a 20ga. I've seen small framed women (100lbs soaking wet) shoot 300+ shells out of Berettas with the KO system in a day without issue.

Rumor has it production on the RPR has stopped temporarily.
-
If I recall correctly, MSRP on them is $26.95 so $35ish is probably pretty close but I can't say for sure without looking at them.

I'll take a look once some come in.

400-800yds is overkill for 300WM. Higher recoil, higher cost per round, and it's a barrel burner. While .308 can do it easily, 6.5C, .260, or .243 would be calibers I would look at as the bullets are more ballistically efficient than the .30cal counterparts.

You would be better served by Kroil or similar penetrating oil. Also, if there's enough of the screw to grab on to, a pair of vise grips might be helpful.

Yes, this is what I meant when incorrectly using the term.

NiB highlights machining marks so the shop that made the evo line must be doing a better job of polishing and/or running the right feed/speed and keeping their tooling sharp. Please excuse the cell phone pictures! AIM on the left, my house brand (which I know for a fact is machined). Note the texture on the AIM unit characteristic of casting. AIM on the left again. In addition to the surface texture, there's that "1" which indicates mold number when casting so if there's a problem with the parts, they can trace it back to the casting and inspect it.

I did a little more detailed breakdown of the BCGs and I believe their product information is incorrect. They say their extractors are machined 4140. The exterior of the extractor shows signs of being cast. On the underside, there's a casting/mold imprint too. I don't care as much since I didn't buy these for the bolts but rather for the carriers but I would be interested to see if the BCG HE gets has a cast extractor as well.
-
It does but not as big as the full size Aimpoints.

I've got two on shop guns. One is on the 9mm MG and the other on a .458 SOCOM SBR. Haven't broken either (yet). Both are in low mounts and I'm really liking them for this application. I generally dislike these "micro" sized optics and opt for the larger FOV of the full size PRO/ACO. But I'm really digging the T1s and MROs on shotguns and subguns.
