Good day for it. I bet you had a smile on your face.
Was going to set up that rifle I showed you on Friday but kids activities have gotten in the way today. Maybe tomorrow instead, wx permitting.

Haha. Nothing like getting through a few rounds to relieve some stress.
Looks like it's ejecting with enthusiasm - remind me not to spot for you.
Yip went and blasted a few hundred today got a bunch of hornady steel case to get through.
What are people running for bolt lube?

New 10.5" barrel off TM (overrun contact barrels). Fingers crossed it shoots as good as the CMMG it replaced. Very happy with how it looks and feels on the carbine.

Excuse my ignorance @omegaspeedy but how does that scope setup work? Is the aft part a magnifying lens for the front sight? Advantages?
The rig looks nice.
Hi planenutz, no worries at all, the setup uses a holographic sight which is similar to red dot sights but a different technology (Laser same system as used on a head-up display developed for military aircraft). As you can see it's bigger, heavier and actually has far less battery life than a red dot so you you wonder why bother? For someone (like me) who has an astigmatism in the eye, these sights distort far less and a big plus for me is the 1MOA dot which allows a more useable dot behind the magnifier for distant shooting. Typical red dot sights have 2MOA dots that balloon out to 4-5MOA dots when the astigmatism is bad. Behind the sight is a x 3 magnifier that can be rapidly moved either in front of, or away from the holographic sight. So for me advantages are close in shooting capability as well as reasonably accurate distant shooting. The 1MOA dot, a transparent 65MOA ring for fast shooting and of course a very robust military proven set-up. Cons, battery life, weight bulkiness and price. One point to mention is these sights look terrible the first time you look through them because of the pixelated appearance, especially if your used to a red dot, but once you understand them and get used to the reticle, it grows on you. The 65MOA is quite fuzzy but the 1MOA dot is sharp. When you put a magnifier behind it, the 65MOA reticle looks fantastic and sharp and theres more 'air' around the target so it's not obscured.
Outstanding answer - cheers for that.
I learnt something new today. Third day in a row!

I need an A2 in my life
Excellent example of an A1 & A2 @grunzster
So in those 2 rifles grunzter,, is the gas block underneath the forend or is it incorporated into the front sight??
Man gimmy an A1 please. They are a classic. So many must have been modded from original and I guess there must be some original furniture still floating around.
The last one is the Airsoft yah wanted @Tommyhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5baa8fa575.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b183ad276d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8f7d59d7af.jpg

Phone was/is buggered, wanted a photo for @Glycerine's missus, she likes that sort of thing
It's actually Flat Dark Earth but white is close enough.

z5 to x5 upgrade and a better can
If a good ar has very little movement between the upper and lower....
How do people get on with custom builds, or different uppers and lowers? Can you somehow take the play out?
The accuwedge seem to work ok
I'm not sure if there is a problem to fix as the scope is attached to the upper anyway
Here is a video I haven't watched ...

When i put my match gun together it had zero play, really tight fit. After alot of use its developed some slop. My guess is play is inevitable, steel pins through alloy holes and alot of use equals....
My Armalite M4 has quite abit of wiggle between the upper & lower but yet I can achieve very reasonable accuracy out of it. Non-free float handguard as well.
They don't call them "rattle guns" for nothing.
