Remember Firearm Safety

Everyone is a Range Safety Officer, if it seems unsafe call it for a cease fire!

  • Treat all firearm as if it were loaded.
  • Never point a firearm at anything you're not willing to destroy.
  • Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until ready to shoot.
  • Know your target and what lies beyond.

In addition:

  • Ensure the weapon is safe to fire, a gunsmith is cheaper than a hospital visit.
  • Only use the ammunition type stamped on the barrel or listed in the user manual.
  • Wear eye and ear protection.
  • Alcohol, legal and illegal drugs, and firearms are never a good combination. Do not mix!
  • Keep weapons out of the reach of children, criminals, and other prohibited persons - it is your responsibility to protect your firearms!

Good red dot to mount on LPVO scope?

What’s a good red dot to mount on LPVO scope?

I was thinking about replacing the 507k on my EDCC with an EPS carry and then putting the 507k on the LPVO scope. Would this be a bad idea?

Or are there other reasons why I shouldn’t be mounting a red dot to an LPVO?

I’m just not getting into the AR15 realm, so go easy :)

Blackout defense… yay or nay???

I’m checking out blackout defense right now they have an ok deal on builds. They look cool. Reviews seem positive. Have seen many positive 5.56 reviews. Kind of thinking about messing with the 6mm arc is an entry level spr. Have done minimal research on 6 arc since it was never really on my radar. Just curious what the pros think. Stick with 5.56?

PSA vs. Andro? Am I looking at this wrong?

Looking to buy or build a training gun and I am sure this question has been asked 1000 times...

Andro is a decent gun for price. $400 currently here.

https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1026554916?pid=232283

I can build a similair PSA setup with a better lower for about $200 more.

Could change the upper later to a CHF if needed or wanted... Let me know if you see it differently.

Gas tube problems

Ok so I bought this low profile gas block off of primary arms and I have everything taken apart and I cannot for the life of me get this gas tube to go into the block. If anyone has suggestions that would be wonderful.

Best "Bang For Your Buck" Option Uppers?

Anybody know a manufacturer who sells their uppers already tricked out with things like a low profile adjustable gas block, and already decent brand handguard, and a solid barrel?

The issue i always run into with my upper builds is that I've got to hammer them apart to upgrade them, then buy a much nicer gas block, then change out my barrel, etc.

Who makes the best "slap on and play" uppers, that are easily customizable?

Edit: 2 part quad rails are acceptable, as long as they are reputable ones. I can sacrifice on an adjustable gas block if I can get to it easier.

Had enough spare parts to basically build a “clone” of my last service rifle

Aside from being 16” and the Vortex (which is a Comp M2 clone itself. The UID number and “55” on the stock are correct to the last rifle I carried, though!
