I have the REV F 512′s in stock and they HAVE the raised rubber face plate!I just bought a used eothech sight off the equipment exchange, and it appears to function normally. However, if I set the sight (by itself), flat on a table and move my head around it, the point of aim changes. I tried this because my groups at 100yrds were huge, although I can still efficiently recycle soda cans at short range. Does anyone else have this problem? I thought the benifit of the holographic sight was that the point of aim isn’t dependant on your viewing angle.

(I believe this is how it works, I’m not really 100% sure as I haven’t researched it much). The PredatAR has the standard 0 MOA cant top rail. -OBR has a heavier barrel profile, the PredatAR has a light-weight barrel profile. The heavier barrel will be able to absorb more heat and will exhibit less flexing while firing and may be better for pure precision applications. The PredatAR’s lighter barrel is great for CQB or competitions where speed is going to be the most important. It is also still extremely accurate as any LaRue Tactical rifle will be. But it shouldn’t be just as consistently accurate as the OBR (at least, on paper).

Can you use the 3x FTS ( flip to side ) ? My friend’s has a BUIS under the FTS mount.
I was planning on picking up a 517 and 3x for my AR.
CrazyK,
There are a number of combinations that will work for you, especially if you don’t have the bulky m4 style handgurds to contend with, which will not let you move the EOTech far forward enough for some applications.
My unique problem is that I am trying to use the Colt 6920 in it’s stock form without
any modification and trying to get all three components to fit and cowitness on that limited length of Colt rail. Most folks are willing to either settle for the EOTech and just a magnifier, or an EOTech and just the BUIS.

I recently purchased a Aimpoint T-1 and mounted it to the forward rail and that gives you almost a perfect cheekweld without the use of any add ons to the stock. So my recommendation at this point is to go with the Aimpoint T1 Micro. Thanks! Can you see/use the irons through the T1 mounted in that manner? I’d prefer something where I can use the irons (if needed) without removing the optic… otherwise, I’ll probably end up using some sort of QD mount. With the scout and a T1 they will not cowitness. Close but no cigar. The T1 is slightly higher than the sight plane. For a standard stock gun, I like the T-1 as it sits very low. It is a narrow tube however which some users may not like.

The D AR-15 Stocks was beefed up around the buffer tube area as deemed necessary in a combat situation, not that a broken AR-15 Stocks AR won’t still function it just won’t function as well. Doesn’t really matter as you probably won’t see more than 6 C types in a lifetime of messing with these things unless working for the govt and even then they haven’t been produced since 1964 so most are long gone. You will see a bunch that are just sanded down type D’s if you stay with retro for any length of time. Was a real popular mod in retroland in the beginning as they command a lot more coins. As far as that goes I’ve seen a B&W production photo in the early 60′s showing an employee sanding a AR-15 Stocks.
Negative. The D & C have different profiles on the bottom. It can be hard to see in a picture, but if you have the two in front of you it is easy to see.

There is no added noise or flash from an 18″ barrel with a flash hider and the loss of velocity is less than 200 fps. Neither you or your target will notice the difference in velocity. bishopm14
2/23/2006 1:54:50 AM I’ve got both, a Fulton receivered Bush build and aSpringfieldfull size. Both are great. The Fulton receiver leaves a bit to be desired in the external looks department. Needs more finish work. But perfectly functional. The 7.62 is better suited to a longer barrell, but you aren’t turning it into a peashooter with an 18″ barrell. Comparing mine side by side, the shorter barrell does have a bit more noise to it, not objectionable but is there. Anytime you shorten the barrell, you’re gonna increase the noise a bit. Same with muzzle flash usually.As far as range, you’re sight calibrations won’t be quite right at longer ranges, but the notion of any rack grade, iron sighted 7.62 gas gun shooting standard ball ammo having an effective range of 900 meters, much less with a carbine length barrell is a bit laughable.(Isolated AFPJ stories notwithstanding)Yeah, every magazine’s gonna have one or two “golden BBs” in at that range, but that’s far from meaning that’s the effective range, which last time I checked, was the range at which hit probability drops below 50%.

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.

Clearly you didn’t attend LaRue Tactical Range Day.
Honestly, all their advertizing on arfcom, including the giveaways, probably amounts to a pretty small budget when compared to typical mass-media campaigns.
But word of mouth is the best advertizing there is.

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
Hell hath no fury like that of a Battery of Paladins firing for effect.

CitizenSoldier 8/13/2006 2:25:09 PM EST I see ALOT of regular 5 shot 500′s here. m24shooter 8/13/2006 3:04:36 PM EST Current procurements are the 590A1. Earlier models were the 590. IIRC the Marines wanted a heavier barrel, metal safety and FCG parts. That became the A1. Of course right after they requested those changes they went with the Benellis. The Army and Navy have items in the FY07 budget for several thousand 590A1s. The A1 does not come from the factory with the heatshield, and Mossberg 500 Accessories says that they will not fit on the 590A1. My 590A1 says different. ETA: Forgot about the slings. These are usually just M16 slings. Bayonets are whatever the unit uses. The M7, M9, and M10 will fit.

You’re not really aware of the tube, per se…. the red dot just appears to float over the target.

I know the Micro seems popular, but it almost seems too small to me… (although I haven’t seen one in person) Can’t go wrong with any of the Aimpoints, but if you think the micro’s will be too small look at the M3/ML3. Same battery life as the the micro’s and smaller than the M4/M4s. -Ray So, when was the last time you were ambushed by a group of insurgents?
