Remington 870 Stocks </p> I'm looking at putting one of these on my all purpose/HD/SHTF rifle and just wanted to know how well it works for CQB encounters. Obviously its no Aimpoint or EOTech but I'm not keen on batteries. I think any good solid 1-4x will fit that purpose. I am also running a 1-4x for my 'all purpose' patrol rifle. Wounded doesn't mean you are out of the fight. It just confirms the fact that you are in one. -Sylvan 2011 ~MoS~ Colt41 Dec 2010 USA USA 20 : 0-0-0 : 5/23/2011 5:40:25 I have the TR24G on my all purpose SHTF rifle and love the thing. The 1-4 variable with the green triangle post reticle fits this role beautifully for me. One of the things I like best about it is its excellent reticle illumination during the daylight which is when I do most of my training and range plinking. The night time illumination is excellent as well and not having to deal with batteries is great. 3O8junkie May 2011 USA USA 9 : 0-0-0 : 5/25/2011 4:31:48 T : 5/25/2011 4:34:37 T by 3O8junkie] I took mine to the open movement bay today and it worked great for fast acquisition around corners etc. I am running the TR24G and as was stated before the illumination is great day or night and no batteries to play with. Here it is. It's lightweight! It's compact! It's cool! Hybrid_Flyer Mar 2011 USA CA, USA 5 : 0-0-0 : 4/8/2011 8:28:23 : 4/8/2011 8:32:59 by Hybrid_Flyer] double post sorry Hybrid_Flyer Mar 2011 USA CA, USA 6 : 0-0-0 : 4/8/2011 8:32:30 looks fantastic, wish I could afford one. It's a little on the pricey side for a plinker rifle (such as mine) LA_357SIG Bronzed Bronze Contributor Team Jan 2007 USA TN, USA 2262 : 0-0-0 : 4/8/2011 9:00:58 : 4/8/2011 9:08:32 by LA_357SIG] Nice. So is it a contender to the ACOG? It sure does cost as much. Via AR15.Com Mobile "If i was you I would keep it just like it is... and shoot the shit out of it until something breaks. Then replace whatever it is and keep shooting." - durabo Nichonator Bronze Contributor Team Aug 2009 USA FL, USA 3719 : 0-0-0 : 4/8/2011 10:06:37 Looks tough enough. | | Thursday, February 16th, 2012 | | 7:43 am |
</p> I like this tape switch better, based on what you're getting and the price. Is it a quality piece? IDK. YET! ordered one with a 18650 host It has to be as good as the Tac Solarforce PTS-3 That thing looks nice. It looks quality so hopefully it is. And the price is good too. I was looking at the site.. Is it Surefire G2 compatible? RNO 8/12/2011 9:58:08 AM I did a search just using the tape switch name before I purchased. It is reported as compatible with Surefire 6p , 9P and Surefire G2 Loe_307 8/12/2011 12:35:46 PM RNO:
. All guns in china are made in gov't arsenals and exported through Norinco or in this case CGA. This gun probably arrived in the unmarked and was rather crudely stamped by Glnic. It reads: "7.62X39mm SKS Rifle Stocks made in china by CGA. Imported by Glnic Ca. Semi-Auto" I read that China didn't mark many of their guns destined for export in case they turned up in places that they shouldn't be so there would be deniability. This gun has been a real social studies lesson!

ReportI just picked up a bunch of Winchester 7.62x39 from a friend and I was planning on shooting it through my only 7.62x39mm rifle, a Yugo 59/66. My concern was slam fires from the softer primers, I did a search and found this site...

b=2&f=27&t=148384 Slash - I have reviewed that thread prior to posting my question......... maybe I missed it but on 10/23 they were still testing...... no release date was posted (that I saw) Do you have a date that you can add? | | Tuesday, February 14th, 2012 | | 5:29 pm |

Its a specific mount to use on a specific hand guard. And its a new company making new products. Over time the price may go down. And right now, its the only one of its kind. At least that I know of.
That being said, to me, a rifle sling on a rifle is like a holster for a pistol. I don't skimp on them. And in this case, this allows you to use a QD mount with no modifications to the gun. And, if you mount it to the aft end, it allows you to have a rifle sling mount that does not interfere with your grip on the gun and or any other forward mounted accessories. A lot of guys here have more money in rifle sling mounts then in the rifle sling itself. So this is not really uncommon. I see your point about cost. If you scroll up a forum, you'll find guys putting "budget" optics in LaRue Tactical or Bobro mounts. So the mount costs more then the optic.
Again I see your point. But if your gun is a tool, and you have a specific need, then the cost is washed out by the function. YMMV

Hi Markfall,
Thanks for posting this comment. At IWC, we're looking for any and all feedback from our customers and potential customers about our products and experience with our gear.
First, our MOUNT-N-SLOT brand Direct Attach Mounts fit Carbine, Mid and Rifle length MOE Hand Guards and Bushmaster ACR's.
You make a great point. Why spend more on a small piece of 6061-T6 and some fasteners and packaging than you would for the entire MOE hand guard. $32.95 vs. $29.95 | | 8:23 am |
</p> ] 4/24/2011 4:30:15 AM Mr BROWE is dreaming. At a $400 pricepoint, I would be tempted to give it a shot. Maybe. Gablackgus 6/22/2011 12:15:10 Guys- Check out www.BROWE -inc.com that will give you the low-down. The big deal on this optic is uses a micro-processor to actually measure the light at the target- not where your standing. This means your reticle will automatically adjust itself as you move from target to target adjusting for each lighting scenario. This eliminates the problems with other optics that use ambient light. Your reticle wont disappear in with a bright target, and wont overpower with a low light target. The housing is also titanium rather than aluminum, and it only comes with an a.r.m.s. lever mount. You can also program the optic to your personal preferences on how bright or dim you want your reticle. Hope that helps! 1811guy 6/22/2011 12:22:54 Originally Posted By Gablackgus: Guys-

Mesa Tactical </p> SGB 11/15/2009 5:58:33 PM Another vote for the Scout being a better choice than the SOCOM kengel2 11/15/2009 9:26:57 PM The effective lethal range of the SOCOM is about four miles. The effective lethal range of the M16 is about three miles. 1 mile= 1760 yds I doubt the m16 would be lethal at 1500yds. SilentREAPER 11/15/2009 9:56:43 PM +1 Another vote for Scout length being better than the SOCOM Andrewsky 11/15/2009 10:46:09 PM kengel2: The effective lethal range of the SOCOM is about four miles. The effective lethal range of the M16 is about three miles. 1 mile= 1760 yds I doubt the m16 would be lethal at 1500yds. The military considers the M9 pistol lethal at 1800 meters, and the M4 Carbine lethal at 3600 meters. This is of course assuming that the weapon is aimed at a high angle. See the following article: http://thegunwiki.com/Gunwiki/FactorsOfEffectiveRange Bullets lose velocity, but after a certain point gravity acts on them. Even two miles away a .308 round will have about the same energy as a .22LR fired at point blank range. Andrewsky 11/15/2009 10:47:20 PM Lindy_Hoppin_Gun_Nut: Andrewsky: Thanks for the excellent post. I was wondering - what if one gets an Aimpoint or such optic on the SOCOM? | | Friday, February 10th, 2012 | | 7:23 pm |
aimpoint comp ml3 </p> Are there any mounts or adapters that anybody knows of that would allow me to mount my EOTech to my AR? The exact mount I have on my RRA-LAR15 is the Dominator 2 EOTech mount so I didn't anticipate encountering this problem. But also my XPS2 did not come with the protective hood and the large screw that attach at the base, would procuring this possibly be the solution to my mounting issue? And if so, does anyone know a company that sells and ships these parts?

I don't know if anyone makes a 3/8" dovetail adaptor to fit on a picatinny rail.
Your best bet might be to sell/return the sight and get one that fits the AR rail.

Just curious what dealer sold you an EOTech without its protective hood!?! And an EOTech that won't mount to an AR upper is very odd!!!

The Micro does everything the larger Aimpoints do in a smaller, lighter package. Do they offer any advantages on target acquisition No. do they reduce the amount of FOV blockage? Yes. Via AR15.Com Mobile "It seems that even Allah's promise of paradise loses a bit of it's luster when there's a dude reigning death on your buddies from 600 meters out." - John_Wayne777 on Battle for Al Najaf 04/04/04 bigkracka Bronze Contributor Team Jul 2001 USA USA 4830 : 0-0-0 : 6/20/2011 12:09:59 T I believe the difference in weight is more than "miniscule". Ounces add up quick and are a real drag to schlepp around all day. Don't forget the ridiculously long battery life, roughly 5yrs. bud7h7 Dec 2009 USA FL, USA 648 : 0-0-0 : 6/20/2011 12:16:09 T Take into account that the mounts are lighter too. kwrangln Jan 2008 USA AL, USA 1549 : 0-0-0 : 6/20/2011 9:01:58 I was sceptical about the small size of the micro's lenses, figured they would have a much smaller view and be harder to get proper alignment, but I was way wrong. Picked up an R1 when Midway was blowing them out for $300. When shooting both eyes open, the sight just dissapears leaving just the red dot hanging there in air. Easy as all git out to get on target, and way less restricted view. These things are amazing, get one. Strongbow Bronze Contributor Team Dec 2008 USA IN, USA 6014 : 0-0-0 : 6/20/2011 9:19:02 They're smaller and lighter.... what's not to like? If you're using it right ,the smaller tube is almost meaningless. I have an M4 as well and it's great, but the T-1 is the tits for a CQC rifle. lilMAC25 Bronze Contributor Team Mar 2005 USA TX, USA 576 : 0-0-0 : Yesterday 12:28:58 T Size and weight are the two main advantages. The only downside I can see is if you prefer the smaller 2 MOA dot.. Here I am, Here I remain scottrh2 Bronze Contributor Team Jul 2006 USA NC, USA Military Online Posts: 3848 : 0-0-0 : Yesterday 10:15:59 T Originally By lilMAC25: Size and weight are the two main advantages. The only downside I can see is if you prefer the smaller 2 MOA dot.. Not a big issue. When looked at side by side with a M4CCO the Micro looks the same size, even more so when the brightness is turned down. "Of the Troops, For the Troops" 31B5M Amric Aug 2002 USA MI, USA 925 : 0-0-0 : Yesterday 9:11:59 Originally By FALARAK: I understand there is a weight savings, which isnt really important to me as the difference is miniscule. They are LESS than half the weight of a M2, M3, or M4, and the non shooting eye can pick up targets much better looking around such a small tube. LMTRocks 30 caliber junkie Bronze Contributor Team Nov 2008 USA KY, USA Online Posts: 620 : 0-0-0 : Yesterday 9:52:15 Good to know this. I have an M2/LT129 setup coming off my SBR and an R1/DD 1/3 going to it as soon as I get it from the EE. Wanting to lighten up my SBR a little bit and this is the ticket. Anticipating adding a pound to the gun later via a 15oz suppressor Ever notice the sound of a gun being charged is the universal language of dominance? God bless America.</p> So I found this Aimpoint on craigslist and I am considering buying it. I am a optic noob and I need some help. The seller is asking $250, but I am hoping to get it for less. 2 questions: 1. Is this a real Aimpoint? 2. How much is it worth? c5hardtop Dec 2008 USA NC, USA 1083 : 0-0-0 : Yesterday 2:43:12 Not enough information is to determine if it is real or not, but based on picture it likely is. Its fairly common to see beat up (externally) Aimpoints off military guns for sale. They are sometimes stolen military property. They usually sale for ~$250. | | 5:08 pm |
C4 www.gandrtactical.com/images/archive/G&R%20custom%20lights/M96LC1.jpg That's right, the LT is a better mount, hands down. How ya doin Mark? Was at LGC Saturday (hoping I might run into ya). C4 edwin907 8/15/2005 12:03:39 AM C4iGrant: Not only does the LT Scope Mount offset the light, but it also gives you 4 positions for mounting the light. The YHM does NOT give you these options. C4 Plus it's easier to remove than the "tight as heck" ARMS Scope Mount for when you put the rifle in the case.

</p> With the Pro Ears products my ears are very well protected. On duty, at the range, it's very important for me to know if a shooter has a problem or a malfunction with his gun, even if I'm watching another one. With the Pro Ears stereo microphones, I can hear if someone is in trouble on my sides, even if some other officers are still shooting!
I know the battery is too large so it's not even possible, but the only way it could have been better was if it could somehow fit a spare battery like my old M3 and LaRue Tactical mount did. As it stands though, it's perfect. I can fit one on top of my ACR grip plug though so it's not an issue.
FAST order processing and COOL/USEFUL free stuff with a PEERLESS product line at unbeatable pricing?! How do they do it?!
Thanks LaRue!

It looks like I might loose a position on the stock though. I'm a tall guy, so I never use the stock in the 1st position anyway. Originally Posted By bdawg998: I think using the QD slot on the CTR for a single point setup will allow the rifle to hang to low and not give much control over how the rifle hangs. I would recommend getting what the above poster suggested or doing it the "right" way and getting the ASAP plate from Magpul or the IKICKHIPPIES SLAP plate. That's an option I should probably consider. I just didn't want to remove the castle nut since it was staked at the factory.

Answer
A: No, while shooters have different shooting styles and require different levels of protection our customers testimonials attest to their satisfaction with our designs. We are confident we have a design to meet your needs. Go to our Products page to see for yourself.
Q: I work for a government agency that is required to spend 20% of our annual budget on American made products. Our agency also tries to buy from American owned small businesses. Is Pro-Ears an American owned small business? Are the electronic hearing protection protection made in the USA?
Answer
A: Another reason Pro Ears is the gold standard in hearing protection protection is we are, to the best of our knowledge, the only such products manufactured in the USA and the only company that offers a comprehensive 5 Year Warranty.
Q: Muff models like Pro Ears seem less wildy when compared to in-the-ear models such as foam plugs. | | Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 | | 6:56 pm |

You'll recall that near the end of this season's "Top Shot" they were using a Salient Arms International Benelli M2 Accessories with a nice, long mag extension. I don't re reading about or seeing ATF kicking down anyone's doors for that... true, but its better to be safe than sorry. I'll be the first to say that the ATF is an unconstitutional branch of government.. unfortunately we've strayed far from our founding fathers intent.. and this what we have stooped to. I believe the following quote summs up how we got to be where we are as far as our gun rights: "This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins."

To get an idea of drop on your Urbino stock: When you mount your Benelli M2 Accessories with Urbino stock & cheek riser normally but quickly, are you looking thru the sights or over them? Also, how did the Urbino fit your Benelli M2 Accessories especially in the trigger area? IIRC, the Urbino for the M4 was tight in the trigger area. Mesa said they would have to modify the M4 mold design slightly sometime in the future. TIA! Carey I did quite a bit of training with the shotgun before I shot a 3 gun with it. Maybe it's my short arms.. but I feel that its actually perfect. I felt like the original stock was a bit long.
