AR 15 Accessories

I dont think the one from Bravo comes with the sling swivel ends like the one from Larue. I think that is the price difference.

I have one and it’s great, it’s made by Vtac and honestly it’s cheaper if you get it at Bravo Co.
I love LaRue Tactical but I ordered my second one from Bravo Co because it was about $25 cheaper so now I have two, one for my personal gun and one for work

JBCHRITZ 8/19/2008 1:50:41 AM No clue. I always leave my Surefire Batteries in everything until they need to be replaced. Joe Skibane 8/19/2008 4:07:35 AM Some devices consume a minute amount of current, even when they’re “turned off”. Over a long period of storage, this small load can add up to enough to drain a significant amount of charge out of the battery(s). Another consideration is chemical leakage, the risk of which depends greatly on the battery’s chemistry, brand, and state of charge – Carbon-zinc Surefire Batteries can leak after just a few months storage; alkaline cells in just a few years, and lithium Surefire Batteries may not leak in your entire lifetime. Among the name brands, Duracell seems to have one of the best reputations for leak resistance;

I haven’t seen the stock on an SKS Rifle Stocks personally except in pictures.
Before cleaning.

The first patch I ran through, and the last one. Some krud Kutter for the stock. A little TLC stuff for the commie lady!

And when I was done with her. Not much difference, but much cleaner! Don’t worry my friend, now your have a proper home. Another American Patriot with a commie tool!

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!

The smaller FOV is an issue if you are a professional door kicker, but mine isn’t too much an issue to me-I’ve had one on my SHTF rifle for over a decade-three in total. Now, the RX30 is a much larger sight, it isn’t even the same animal as the Reflex 2′s-several orders of magnitude [...]

The smaller FOV is an issue if you are a professional door kicker, but mine isn’t too much an issue to me-I’ve had one on my SHTF rifle for over a decade-three in total. Now, the RX30 is a much larger sight, it isn’t even the same animal as the Reflex 2′s-several orders of magnitude better. Sometimes too bright outdoors so lots of guys cover the light pipe with electrical tape. Same thing for the micro RMR sights-the dual illuminated version is the brightest that Trijicon makes and it’s too bright when outside for most. That’s good to know. I’ve heard that the RX30 is a huge improvement over the older Reflex. How’s it in the dark? One of my biggest beefs with the orginial Trijicon Reflex is that the dot would washout when using a flashlight in the dark. Something about the dark to light transition. jncryer

It’s very fortunate that the military likes the Leupold scopes, because they are one of the very best made, but that’s MY opinion talking, not that of the military. Look, I’ve tried to educate you as best I can so you can make a decision for yourself. I want you to be able to browse a catalog of rifle scopes and determine which of those suits you the best and which of those you feel the most comfortable looking through at your chosen distances. I would rather you tell us, “I don’t like that one because…” even if we recommend it. At least you’d know what you’re talking about. But, all things considered – if you have no idea what you want, have no care about educating yourself on scopes, and only want US to tell you what to get, then I have no problem spending your money. The Leupold Mark4 is proven in battle, chosen by soldiers, and revered by marksmen everywhere. You honestly cannot go wrong with it. Get the Leupold Mark 4, I’d choose the 3.5-10 power, side-focus, non-illuminated, mil-dot reticle. Like This – click here Lympago

I know enough to know that maintaining a certain MOA figure out further requires shooter skills that surpass the rifle in many cases.

there were no instructions for the Vortex Optics in my manual(its printed ’04) apricotshot 7/3/2010 11:28:53 AM Nothing between the FH and the shoulder of the barrel is required.

The others wouldn’t know the difference between this and an Airsoft gun. KimberTLE45: Aimpoints typically allow for faster target aquisition the further forward you run them. People get too caught up in the hunting rifle eye relief, your T-1 should be further forward (like as far forward as you can Scope Mount it on your upper receiver) an be sure that you index it prior to tightening to ensure your zero is retained.

It can certainly work in close for center mass shooting in good light but it is at its best getting on target at intermediate and long distances. This is what makes a daytime illuminated 1-4X type optic more usefull that a non daytime illuminated 1-4X scope. You retain the longer range BAC capability.

BAC is far from perfect but it’s a much better option than the NSN’s iron sights.

As always, it all depends on what you’re going to be doing.

I think I am starting to ‘get it’ Hopefully others will find this thread helpful too. I picked up a TacStar extension tube, and I’ve ordered a Nordic Follower. I really do not like the Surefire foreend, and other suggestions for an M2? I can not seem to find anything on the googles.

No one outside of Arfcom or perhaps some of the three gun forums even knows about this topic. Hell, I bought an Benelli M2 Accessories this summer and the gun store I purchased it from installed a Tac Star extension while I waited. When I found out about this 922 mumbo jumbo I called the store back and ran it by them. They claim to have sold hundreds of Benelli’s over the years in this configuration and have a full time ATF agent on staff. They argued with me that because the Tac Star was a US part, it held no bearing on 922… That said, nobody seems to care.

I was thinking we could have one that was dedicated to the SKS. I bought (layaway) a Yugo SKS Rifle Stocks today, I paid $251 (is that a good price?) total. It has the flip up grenade sight, and long muzzle device. Stock was dark (possibly dirty?), all numbers matched (don’t know if that’s a big deal?) and the pad on the butt plate was intact. I don’t know much about the SKS, but I’m betting someone here does. I’ll post up some pics of it next week.

SKS are good simple reliable rifles, hard to beat.
Order up some spam cans of ammo on stripper clips.
The stippers are resuable, and make loading fast.

Price, not bad these days, when SKS’s first started to get imported many years ago they where around $75 – $100 wholesell. Ammo was about that same price for 1100 on stippers and 1500 loose.
Should have put away a case of the russian ones. I like the looks of the older Russian ones, they are listed as C & R’s nowadays.

Its been reported, but I’m not sure if 100% fact, that China imported more SKS’s in a 3-5 year span then the entire production of Win. Model 94′s.

im not saying your wrong (seriously i’m not)
but i definitly re buying 2 crates of sks’s in 94 (pretty sure it was 94) for a grand total of about 45 dollars a rifle
couldn’t tell you what kind they were, i was all of about 16 and my “cousin” was 18, and at the time it seemed like an awesome idea.

as teenagers coming out of the cold war era we had a serious survivor mentality for some reason, so the crates and ammo we picked up with em went into a “cache” for a lack of a better word. where we “lived” at the time, that kind of stuff didn’t really raise any eyebrows. They guy we bought em from was a serious, old school, country, kitchen table ffl, who had crates and crates of stuff in his garage.

which reminds me, i should prolly go retrieve them from their current location before that property gets sold.

hadn’t even thought about those rifles in years.

In ’94, they were probably Chinese.

That’s about the time they were as common as most anything else in the local stores.

I should have bought more and I should have held on the the ones I bought. Have one Yugo now.

Oh yes, the Norinco SKS. I have both the rifle and carbine version. Great shooters and neither have ever failed to go bang. Back in the early 90′s you could get a rifle and 1,000 rounds for under $150 IIRC. Now I see them selling for $300+.

i dont even know what version they are,

all we knew was they were 40$ a rifle in crates of 10 with all kinds of cool shit, and the ammo was cheap as hell. Since we “put them down” we havent even touched the spot where they are, out of sight out of mind and all,

i think we pretty much verified that they were all real rifles, and then we set em up for loooooong term storage.

that old guy was cool as hell, he always had all kinds of crap, i think he went to alot of auctions at the ng base nearby.

we ended up with all kinds of cool stuff everytime we swung by

i’ll be the first to admit that my childhood was kind of different than most other folks, had alot of slightly unhinged vets as role models, who thought that kids should know everything they had to teach about what they learned in the service.

and the local neighbors (ie on the bounds of our acerage) were pretty much all serious survivalists, learned alooooot

and alot of what i learned has paid huge dividends in my military carrer
