What is your go to EDC blade
I just put a Kershaw Blur into rotation. Opens pretty fast, great grip, and the blade is sharp. We'll see how long it holds an edge...

Reticle Suggestions ?
I have a 3.5-21 DMR with the G2 reticle on my 6.5C that is more than enough for 500 yards and beyond.

Reticle Suggestions ?
Mildot should be fine. I'm also partial to the G2 reticle from Bushnell. For me, it's a good balance of additional useful markings without cluttering up the image.

300aac build not cycling properly...Help
With select-fire ARs, heavier buffers are used to reduce the cyclic rate by increasing reciprocating mass and preventing bolt bounce. I've lost track of how many guns I've fixed that were running H buffers and wouldn't run more than 2 or 3 round bursts due to bolt bounce. I'd swap in a heavier buffer and they'd run like sewing machines.

Just Because you can does not mean you should
I'm buying two and dual wielding them as my daily carry. FABULOUS!

Washers for AR?
I would agree with the manufacturer. AAC suppressor mounts expressly forbid the use of crush washers because the washer doesn't deform uniformly and can cause baffle strikes when used with a suppressor. If the bore in the brake you purchased is relatively tight compared to the bullet diameter, it's possible that you could run into the same issue. Shims and peel washers would be a much better solution.

Which buffer for rifle length fixed stock
Negative. Rifle length buffers are much heavier and longer than the standard carbine or heavy buffer. If you're planning on running an A2 stock, get an A2 hardware kit (such as this) and call it a day. You won't have to match springs, buffers, and extensions.

Ruger Precision Rifles
Frank @ Snipers Hide was getting 1/2 MOA at 700 yards with the 6.5C

Ruger Precision Rifles
http://www.scout.com/military/snipers-hide/story/1564384-the-ruger-precision-rifle-6-5-cm So these guns are ridiculously cool in my opinion. AR logistics, an externally adjustable trigger, hammer forged sub-MOA barrel, and wicked low cost. I have a 6.5C gas gun that I really enjoy shooting but I really see one of these being added to my collection as that 24" bbl and ability to use AICS mags as well as SR25 pattern mags has me sold. I didn't think I'd be excited about bolt guns but honestly, the first one that I can snag is going into my personal collection.

15/30 AK PMAGs back in stock
I can't promise anything but we'll certainly look at them.

This is gonna cost me
What's the intended use for this? Range toy? Or are you chasing the bleeding edge of precision shooting? If you're going for the latter, I'd suggest you skip the .308 caliber altogether and build this in one of the 6mm or 6.5mm calibers.

Chinese hack of OPM...also got the machine gun registry

Larry Vickers is coming to NJ!
Do it. LAV's forgotten more about firearms than most people have learned. I hosted him once for a carbine class but he ended up doing a little pistol work with us because during one drill, it was apparent that the majority of the line needed to work on shooting pistols so he gave us some quick and dirty instruction in how to shoot pistols better and I still practice what he taught us then.

.308 AR FTW. I love mine though it was a PITA to get the gas dialed in.

New Vortex 1-6 optic
I usually use a one piece QD mount, preferably made by ADM. Cantilever if you need it due to eye relief.

Close combat at a Texas Appleby's
Good on the officers for shooting the turd to the ground. This highlights why an efficient draw stroke is so important. It's a huge piece of getting a first good round hit on target as fast as possible. Certainly looks like suicide by cop. The only thing missing (and I say this from the comfort of my office chair) is a tac load once the BG was on the ground.

Aim point pro
Coupon code is PRO15. This is basically as cheap as they get. Even as a dealer, I buy my Aimpoint Pro optics from other dealers when they get this cheap. Don't be the guy who posts next week about looking for a screaming deal on a quality RDS

To Vacuum Seal Ammo Or Not?
This is a great idea. Dessicant + oxygen absorbers in an air tight ammo can. I like it!

Larry Vickers is coming to NJ!
I'd be pissed if that happened. One of the great things about EAG coming to Columbia was it was always a small class. I think the most we had in a class I was in was eight shooters and even that was broken into two groups of shooters at times.

300 blackout ar pistol build
Is the 9oz for the RCA for the carrier only or for the entire BCG? JP makes an aluminum carrier that weighs 3.76oz but it's pretty expensive. I'd also consider using an adjustable gas block and running as light of a buffer as possible. You might pick up an ounce there.
-
What chrono do you guys use ???
This is the way to fly. It's really expensive but I'll be damned if it's not the best chronograph I've used and haven't had to worry about shooting. The V3s can be strapped to suppressors too which is awfully handy for my purposes.
-
Anyone reload 5.56?
Haha, I probably shoot that much every year if not more. I load .308 with it too. Depending on the bullet/application, I'm using anywhere from 43-46gr of H4895 for .308.

Bad to keep ammo in mag?
Loaded mags are a great way to store ammo. Funny story but the last time ATF was out here, one of the IOIs commented on how many loaded mags and nutsacks were on the shelves. I said, "It's the most efficient way to store ammo I've found to date." He asked about weakening the springs and I explained that springs wear when cycled and used a paper clip as an example (it's fine until you start repeatedly bending it).

Post PICs of your SPR style rifles
Bipods take a little more skill. In my experience, bipods on ARs are especially sensitive to consistent loading.
