USA manufacturing trend or bad luck?
I assumed with the barrel I got that the extension was torqued to " spec". Which from what I have learned over the years was ~ 150 lbs/ft. I had no idea some barrel manufactures were only using loc-tite and staking the theads. I was also under the impression that red loc-tite will degrade and... -

USA manufacturing trend or bad luck?
Yes, I did. My comp was wrenched on at about 20 inch lbs. The barrel extension should be about 150 FOOT/pounds. So yeah...WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING, RIGHT. So this must be common for people using upper bench blocks..I was never aware of that. Thought it was the barrel...hmm My bad. The... -

USA manufacturing trend or bad luck?
Hi fellas, I have not posted here in a while, but recent events have caused me a need to vent. Within the last week I've had to return 2 rifle parts due to bad QC or shoddy manufacturing. Both were US manufactures/companies. First was a 300 BLK KAK 9" melonite barrel...while swapping out... -

Mepro M21 reticle options Help me decide
Oh I wanted to ask you...can you see through the triangle clearly enough to see an object or image inside the triangle? I assume its somewhat transperent during daylight right? You could presumably see the x ring of a paper target within the reticle?- dbrevelle

Mepro M21 reticle options Help me decide
Yeah, I guess it has moving parts after all. I was just thinking about on-off and dimmer buttons, of course it must move internaly to adjust the aim. Good point. The- no electronics to get wet- and -no battery to die or degrade or bounce around with recoil- were the biggest advantages to me so...- dbrevelle

Mepro M21 reticle options Help me decide
Hmmm, I was thinking the washout issue was only in severe conditions like looking from a dark room through a window to a sunlit snow bank or some ****. I heard you had to almost try to produce a condition of complete washout. That is disapointing to hear. Thanks for letting me know about that.- dbrevelle

Mepro M21 reticle options Help me decide
Yeah, 200 may be a little over confident with a reflex and my eyesight. But I see you point about the hold-overs., except I am thinking 100 yd at the top of the triangle 200 yd at the bottom and 50 is center. I would just have to find the best zero ditance for this to work. Thanks for the...- dbrevelle

Mepro M21 reticle options Help me decide
Because I like the idea of a non-electronic, battery free no moving parts, aiming device that has no buttons or adjustments and never turns off. Its just always there ready to go like iron sights...but better. I just wanted an opinion on the reticle choice that is offered.- dbrevelle

Mepro M21 reticle options Help me decide
Ok so I need some feedback. Which would be the best reflex sight reticle for my 300 BLK? I cant decide. It would be used for CQ out to 200 yards. Anyone with first hand knowledge, likes-n- gripes, or just baseless opinions...:p Note the color of the images below are off. It is actually an...- dbrevelle

300 Blackout 10.5" Pistol (post build)
Woo wait.. what? The Seekins adjusts from the rear? I was just about to get one for my 300 cause its a little overgasses even on subs and the Seekins block was the only one small enough for under my tube. If it adjusts from the rear then I gotta find another block..crap! Say it isnt so..:run:
