Remington 870 Stocks

I've only seen the pictures over on The M14HDW Forum, but I have no hands-on experience with the new washers. Milo5

8/22/2009 7:55:03 AM Yep, yep. I think I know the dude in the pictures too. I'm going to post this picture here for the folks who say these types of stocks suck because you can't field strip and maintain the weapon in the field. Yes you can. H2O_MAN 8/22/2009 8:22:12 AM Tool Time Different

ReportI just picked up a bunch of Winchester 7.62�39 from a friend and I was planning on shooting it through my only 7.62x39mm rifle, a Yugo 59/66. My concern was slam fires from the softer primers, I did a search and found this site…

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 the LaRue-Viking padded sling and the difference is that the LaRue Tactical comes with sewn in push button QD sling swivels, the VTAC slings doesn't come with sling swivels, you have to buy them separately.

10/7/2011 10:36:20 AMHI Everyone, I wanted to know your opinions on the LaRue Tactical LT-681 ACOG RCO Scope Mount vs. LaRue Tactical LT-100 Mount? I know the difference between them, but on a M4 type rifle, is one Scope Mount better than the other. I would be using this on my TA31F. What are your experiences? Thanks for your time, Kirk

Not mil, just a 'hobby shooter'. My AR is also my HD weapon. One click out. Compact and gives me good cheek-weld and sight picture.

I assume that you want to use the weapon while standing, so use the minimum length that will allow a good view of your iron sights of the proper eye relaid for your optic. The 3rd position out seems to be the sweet spot for me with a small aperture and around 4 or 5 with a large one.

What type of rear sight are you using?

I use the AR-15 Stocks further out when I am benched.

I always run my 2 spots out from the shortest position. Most of my friends adjust it all the way out when they shoot my rifles for some reason. I have ape arms and I love the rifle being tucked in close.

Yes, primarily while standing (unsupported). It seems that having the AR-15 Stocks extended out a little farther while shooting from the prone position is more comfortable.

2 stops from fully collapsed with standard 7" carbine rail.
1 stop from fully collapsed with 11" rail.

Further reach on the front end, makes better ergonomics with the AR-15 Stocks more collapsed.

For me it depends on what AR-15 Stocks it is and if I am wearing a vest or other gear. Anywhere from the 1/2 position (1st notch) to fully extended is what I normally use. For the CTR I found myself running it from the 1/2 position when shooting with body armor, without I would use the 3/4. For me it boiled down to being able to keep my shooter stance and remaining comfortable while shooting (i.e not having to stain my neck to the sight or allowed me to bring the sight to my face without having to readjust).

Really it will depend on you the individual, often you have to play around with it to find the best position for you.

Shooting with hard plates (IOTV) and without (FLC) are two different things, and you'll need the AR-15 Stocks at different positions to shoot the same way.

FWIW- while patrolling, particularly if vehicle based, you will find that it's probably easiest to roll with the AR-15 Stocks all the way collapsed, when wearing hard plates, you'll find that it's not so cramped. Without the body armor, I usually run mine one notch out on an M4 receiver extension (4 position), which equates to two or three notches out on a 6 position AR-15 Stocks, basically just far enough that you can see the slanted end of the "track" that the locking pin sits in without any of the straight bottom exposed.

This is to shoot "squared up" with the target, as if presenting plates to the enemy. That being said, different positions dictate different AR-15 Stocks lengths, I pull the AR-15 Stocks out further. I also tend to shoot NTCH whenever possible, though.

IMHO, if stuck in Jersey, decide which AR-15 Stocks you plan to run first (personally not a big fan of the MOE that DDs come with- though I like the CTR), and have that pinned. Since most of your shooting on your personal carbine is going to be done without wearing hard plates, have it pinned where it's comfortable offhand. Realize that if and when you need to use your weapon, it's probably going to be in a moment, "oh shit!" because if you're doing a whole lot of trigger pulling as an LT, you're either not fighting your troops correctly, and don't actually run them; or, no one's really expecting to go home that day.

Truth. Either it's becoming a really bad situation or it already is one. Hopefully it's not a demotion from PL to Rifleman because of earth shattering incompetence.

Also, is AR-15 Stocks pinning reversible? If you find the position to be less than desirable can you re-pin the AR-15 Stocks in a different setting using the same components you previously used or do some components need to be replaced?

AR-15 Stocks completely closed pretty much all the time, except with my SPRs with Leupold Mk4 scopes that stick out toward the back quite a bit (with ARMS rings).

My favorite scope is the 4x32 ACOG, with its 1.5" eye relief, it requires the AR-15 Stocks to be closed or in its first position. After a while, I don't bother extending it even when I shoot with an Aimpoint or EOTech.

With body armor, AR-15 Stocks completely collapsed is the only way to get a good eye relief on the ACOG, so I just simplify everything by shooting with it closed all the time.

I use position 2 on a Vltor 5 holer. You might consider this and add 1/2 to 1 inch pad to get to the lenght you want and seems better than a pinned AR-15 Stocks 1/2 inch pad seems best.

Yeah, I use one of those ARFX-E AR-15 Stockss on a 9mm AR carbine, and it is the perfect length with the 1" pad to put my nose on the charging handle. I find the A1 fixed AR-15 Stocks to also be about the perfect length for me. I am 6'7" tall, though, so your length may vary.

I drill a small hole and drop a roll pin in.. then to reverse I remove the roll pin.. last time I used a trigger guard roll pin... USUALLY you can pop it back out from the opposite side (if you drilled thru) using a punch or icepick..

Granted your SUPPOSED to epoxy over the PIN to make it not easily reversible..

of course if your getting THAT TIGHTLY INSPECTED your usually in trouble for something bigger in life.. IMHO..

Most likely your friends are standing bladed to the target instead of squared up.

I like the AR-15 Stocks on my SBR two clicks out, as well as the acs AR-15 Stocks on my 16" with Acog. (the slanted part of the slotted track is just sticking out of the AR-15 Stocks)

I am around 6'3"

I'd call up DD and see if they can send you a rifle with a Sully AR-15 Stocks on it. It might be ugly and a little on the heavy side, but it's the perfect length, and there won't be any need to pin it.

I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence.

I'm about 6' tall. I run my AR-15 Stocks about 3 clicks out on a 6 position so I'm guessing that's equal to about 2 clicks out on a 4 position.

It honestly depends on what the rifle will be used for. I am 5'8" and 180lbs and I pinned my AR-15 Stocks in the first setting. My gun is primarily a home defense gun and I liked the way it felt when moving around a corner with the short AR-15 Stocks.

I do however have an a2 AR-15 Stocks as well and if I plan on taking it to the range I tend to swap the AR-15 Stockss out (I need a new lower ). Luckily for me though I will be leaving this ban state soon enough, and with any luck I will be stationed at Fort Benning.

of course if your geI modified a GSE 4" pistol buffer kit to fit with one of my AR-15 Stocks brackets.

It took making a custom buffer tube and modyfing the end cap.



It is about 1" short of being butt level with the collapsed wire AR-15 Stocks.

I will probably have a new cap made to make up for that, or put a rubber extension on this one,

Ok so I got it and installed it. First impressions: The AR-15 Stocks is loose and can rotate a lot even when locked in. I assume there is nothing that can be done about this unless a magpul friction lock would work. Im using a larger DIA commercial tube also.

You CANNOT use this AR-15 Stocks with a Magpul or any enhanced trigger guards, It will only work with the factory one. You'll note I dont have a trigger guard on my gun in the photos because I diden't keep the standard ones, If I chose to keep this AR-15 Stocks I'll have to order a regular TG.

You'll note there arent ANY sling attachment points, Now this I find rediculous. Who carrys their gun arround all day without a sling?. It would have been very easy to cut a slot below the buffer tube , or at the bottom of the AR-15 Stocks like any factory 4-6 possition AR-15 Stocks.




Last but not least, They shoulden't have left the buffer tube exposed on the top of the AR-15 Stocks, When locked in for single shots you should have your nose aganst the charging handle. This will produce the best and most consistant groups. (some people shoot nice groups but change their head location on the AR-15 Stocks/distance to the sight resulting in floating groups Point of impact shift.) This AR-15 Stocks leaves you with half your cheek on the AR-15 Stocks and half on the tube which I dont like. The top of the AR-15 Stocks could have come forward all the way to the tube threading, it dosent slide that far for operation.


I will go out and test fire it in a few minutes here.

Interesting review so far. I'm not surprised that it doesn't have a sling mount, as it probably didn't even occur to them that someone would need a sling for something like this. I'm sure this is marketed to the kind of people who are more inclined to post youtube videos of themselves and their friends cackling and dumping rounds into the dirt than the kind of people who would be needing to keep a rifle slung. (that isn't directed at you)

on a side note a reciever plate/sling adaptor could be used but now your looking at ordering more parts from another source.


ETA I went out to the log pile and fired off three mags. It is controllable and a slow rate of fire like 600rpm slow something I wish my m16 would do. I was able to bump off the entire 30rd mag on the second try. Yes it works.

Not something I would buy. I too have had the neighbors call the cops when they hear me shoot. Damn yankees!!!!! The cops very nicely told them that out in the country people are allowed to shoot their guns on their own property. I reckon they finally got use to it as they don't call any more and I sure haven't stopped shooting. LOL!!!!

Have fun while you can. This is simply another version of the Akins Accelerator and I'll bet it will be outlawed real soon.

There are too many investors that lost millions on the Akins debacle to let this, which operates on the same principal, remain legal.

I see lawsuits coming.

The akins accellerator used a spring to return the gun forward, The spring was considered the machinegun becuase it was pushing the gun into your finger resulting in continuous fire.

This has no spring, you push forward on the gun to make it fire, 1 shot per trigger pull. I dont see anyway to ban this AR-15 Stocks.

Sort of like the crank fire guns, its legal but you cant add an electric engine to spin the crank or its a machine gun.

The Akins was also a one trigger pull/one shot deal. Hell your finger actually came off the trigger between firings. The Akins was approved not just once but twice. In the clarification response letter the BATFE in clear concise language spelled out in detail the design and operation of the device proving they had complete understanding of the device and its use and approved it the second time. Then 2 years into production and sales they looked at an actual working firearm and shit themselves.

Did you read the approval letter for this thing?

Mesa said they would have to modify the M4 mold design slightly sometime in the future. TIA! Carey I did quite a bit of training with the shotgun before I shot a 3 gun with it. Maybe it's my short arms.. but I feel that its actually perfect. I felt like the original stock was a bit long. When I shoulder the gun the sights are right where I need them :) As far as fit around the trigger, it is tight, and a little hard to get the trigger group back in when cleaning the gun. I also swapped the original grip into the Mesa Stock. I liked the shape of it better, as the Mesa grip was boxed off at the rear.

aimpoint 3x –
Possibly would considering the added length of the adapter after installed? He is considering another upgrade using a side mounted light attached via pic rail and utilizing a tape switch for activation. I am personally against this idea. I am not a fan of tape switches and foresee durability issues with this setup. I am also concerned about the tape switch and wire staying put due to the fact that this area sees a lot of activity due to cycling the tactical shotgun. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. boricua9mm 5/30/2011 12:20:30 AM EST As someone who has shot Action tactical shotgun matches at nighttime, I’ll go out on a limb and say that a 600 Lumen head would do more harm than good for the ranges in which a tactical shotgun would be used. In my experience, anything from 100 -200 lumens is perfect for dealing with the contact-to-50 yard range. Tapeswitch or not, he is considering putting an outdoor rifle flashlight head on a tactical shotgun that, at most, will be a 75 yard tool. If he turns on 600 lumens in close range indoors, he will likely blind himself in addition to the target… Like a lot of the things here on ARF.com, the question comes down to how it is realistically going to be used. I want to step up to a semi and am looking at these two tactical shotguns right now. I currently run a Remington 870 Express Tactical that was originally bought for home defense. The only money I put in to it was a side saddle. I am not happy with the bead sight, 6+1 capacity, and length of barrel. The length of the barrel isn’t really an issue other than I want something a little longer just because. I figure if I am going to be getting a new tactical shotgun for 3-gun then I might as well go semi-auto. I am not looking to spend a lot of money because I’d rather use it on ammo to practice. Both tactical shotguns seem like they would do the job perfectly with a little modding. I have read mixed reviews on the 930′s reliability but I think most of those issues have been worked out at the factory. The 712 looks nice but someone said it felt cheap. I’ll hopefully be able to hold one of each once I get to a gun shop but was looking for opinions on these two tactical shotguns first. What model 930 do people buy for 3-gun? I don’t really want to buy the tactical shotgun and then have to buy a non-ported barrel on top of that. Any more opinions on the 712? P08 7/18/2011 9:46:47 AM EST I have a older 712 and will say that is is a great field gun for birds. It has an alloy receiver so will have more felt recoil than the Mossberg 500 Accessories .

Once the winner is announced, post a picture in the previous contest winner's thread.any of you guys have one
thinking about getting one, how do they perform? do you guys like em?
oh ya and if you have one on your rifle feel free to post pics

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

One con that I can think of for using an EOTech for home security is that if something is going to hit the fan, it’s most likely going to hit at night.

Shooting Targets

Nothing on the ground, on any of the rising ground behind where he was, or through the trees. I take the rifle down to the range in my front yard and set up on a target and shoot three rounds of the same type ammunition that I had zeroed the sight two weeks before. No hits on the paper. The rifle had stayed in the cutout 1750 Pelican Case since I zeroed it. I flip up the back-ups and it is nowhere near them. I re-zero on my sights and shoot again right back to zero. I don’t shoot that often and my rifles spend most of their lives in their cases. So fast forward awhile to after buying a Remington 700 Varmint .308, and a DPMS Sportical 7.62 with an EOTech 512.A65. I pull the AR out of its case and turn the sight on and look through it with the sites up. The reticle is nowhere near zero. No shooting, no reticle changes, no banging the rifle around; just the rifle sitting in the case. I investigate the problem and find that the sight is loose. Not loose on the rail. Loose on its mount. I check all of the sights attaching hardware. It’s all tight but using moderate hand pressure I can twist the thing to get the reticle to go from one side of the sight post to the complete opposite side. This was just a reflex sight but I will never own anything that says Nc Star on it again.

Lasted about 25 seconds. I finger tightened the bolts with the allen key the long way just so I could see how high it sat. Turns out it sits AR-15 height, so it was useless on the gun I wanted to use it on. I went to take it off, nope. Allen bolt was rounded off trying. I pried it off my gun with a screwdriver. Didn’t take hardly any pressure, barely marked up the aluminum mount getting it off because the optic was made of pot metal. Pot metal bolts in pot metal fixings. So I put it on the ground. Then I hit it with a hammer. Then I hit it with a hammer. Then I hit it with a hammer. Then I hit it with a hammer. Then I hit it with a hammer. Then I hit it with a hammer. Then I returned it a few months later to the backhanded POS that sold it to me in the first place at a gun show. I had to hold the box very steady so that it wouldn’t rattle when I gave it to him. He didn’t even let me explain what happened. I walked up with a box, and he just reached under the counter and gave me a new one. Wouldn’t take a refund, and I didn’t grab his money and run. I really should have looked for it, grabbed my money, and left. Guy knows he’s selling total junk. I didn’t have to say anything for him to know I was returning it. He started to open the box and I walked away. “Uh, huh sir! I cannot… sir! Please, sir! Come back sir!” As I walked away. Sure, you might think I fucked the guy over. But nope, I paid $60 and I have an optic I cannot ever use. And he proved to me that he knew that when he sold it to me.

This is a technical forum and while we all may “know” that NC Start sucks, I want the evidence to come from people who have actually owned one or have some kind of first-hand knowledge. I have never owned one personally, but a good friend new to AR’s bought one for his Bushy. He was having trouble zeroing it in so he asked me to meet him at the local range. First, we checked to make sure that the mount was tight, which it was. I fired three shots, and the center of the “group” was off by a couple of inches. Made “appropriate” adjustments to W&E, and the POI for the next three shots was a couple of inches off zero in another direction. Repeated this a few times, and the W&E adjustments wouldn’t track with any consistency. Left the W&E alone, and fired about ten more rounds; the POI was moving around 5-6″ at 100y between every shot. From my FIRSTHAND experience, the W&E adjustments would not track consistently, the optic would not hold POA/POI between successive shots, and the optic exhibited severe vignetting regardless of ER. Oh, and then there was that nice tint to the image. YMMV. ETA – I also personally own five Leupys (two of them nearly 20 years old) for comparison consistent with the thread subject, and none of them exhibit the negative characteristics of the NC(rap)Star. jough43 Feb 2009 USA AR, USA 492 : 0-0-0 : 5/26/2011 10:26:54 T This is an unfair comparison. The quality of construction is not comparable. I have ordered 5 NC Star scopes. Three were immediately returned due to quality/durability issues. The 2 keepers are 2.5-10x and for some reason, they are clear, the lighted reticle works, and they hold zero. I think I got lucky on those and have upgraded other rifles from NC Star to Millett to Burris and now to SWFA. Krylancelo Pay extra for quality. It’s worth it.

went crazy with mine, its really heavy now
I mostly target shoot (and fish and boat) but I now find the need to use my tactical shotgun in 6 weeks for deer in this area. I have the above with a 28″ barrel and an 18 1/2″ barrel. Receiver is tapped. Choice would be between buying a 24″ integrated scope base barrel, and a scope and rings, or trying to just mount a scope on the long barrel. What eye relief is best? Are those red dot sights a better choice, or will my circa-1951 pair of eyes need a scope as they do with my rifles now? Will use some manufacturer’s slugs (smoothbore) and the shot will definitely be under 100 yards, probably half that. Don’t want to chance just using the double bead and only wounding the deer.

I would go with the fully rifled barrel with the scope mount. Good for old eyes and good for 125 yards. MIKE.
pequa1 11/19/2003 7:53:18 PM EST
Mike,
Thanks for the quick reply.
What eye relief do you recommend?
Would the red dot devices make up for my old eyes or do I really need to go scope?
If a rifled barrel, what type and brand slug would you recommend?

Honestly, all their advertizing on arfcom, including the giveaways, probably amounts to a pretty small budget when compared to typical mass-media campaigns.

] 4/24/2011 4:30:15 AM Mr BROWE is dreaming. At a $400 pricepoint, I would be tempted to give it a shot. Maybe. Gablackgus 6/22/2011 12:15:10 Guys- Check out www.BROWE -inc.com that will give you the low-down. The big deal on this optic is uses a micro-processor to actually measure the light at the target- not where your standing. This means your reticle will automatically adjust itself as you move from target to target adjusting for each lighting scenario. This eliminates the problems with other optics that use ambient light. Your reticle wont disappear in with a bright target, and wont overpower with a low light target. The housing is also titanium rather than aluminum, and it only comes with an a.r.m.s. lever mount. You can also program the optic to your personal preferences on how bright or dim you want your reticle. Hope that helps! 1811guy 6/22/2011 12:22:54 Originally Posted By Gablackgus: Guys-

I have a 930 SPX I traded for another here that has a Mesa Tactical side saddle on it. This shotgun has failures to cock after shots. The shell is ejected but the gun does not recock for the next shot most times. THis happens with any ammo from redeuced recoil slug and buck, to 3 inch mags and regular walmart bulk birdshot. Here is my issue. I need a set of receiver pins to test and see if this side saddle is the cause of the issue. Does anyone have a spare set laying around for sale or have any advice to offer on this issue? I placed both a call and an email to Mossberg 500 Accessories regarding this issue and the only reply I ever received was a nice catalog. Update, I called Mesa Tactical for some insight and they said they will send me some replacement screws and that should fix the issue. update update!

I got it for $150 off eGay. If the price scares you off, get a Streamlight, they’re very nice for the money. my69camaro1 2/19/2009 3:13:03 PM Great light, I’ve never had a problem with my Surefire X300 or M951… Get on Ebay and find yourself a deal. xm8 2/19/2009 11:25:04 PM What people know is iffy. What people hear is questionable by nature. What salesmen hear is by then complete BS. I know retail sales very well and you were smart to walk away and do more research. While SureFires aren’t perfect, they are backed up by simply one of the best warranties offered by any company. That, their customer service, high quality products, and some more for the name, is what you are paying for. NIB Surefire X300s sell for $205 shipped from reputable vendors on eBay

During that time, the round charging handle has served me well-right up to my first tactical shotgun training course a few weeks ago. During the course I did a lot of off-hand charging and round switching. I found myself wishing the handle was a bit bigger, which would have made grabbing it with my support hand easier. There are a few larger versions available, so I think I’m going to buy them all to see what works best. BlindFaith429 7/1/2010 10:53:29 AM CJan_NH, I was looking at that one you have because it would be going on a Montefeltro that only gets used for clays. I was looking at the others (GG&G etc) but found them too large for what I wanted. The Montefeltro isn’t exactly a tactical shoty. I was looking for something a bit easier to grab when I needed to, but not something that was too large and too “tactical” for my gun. I also like the fact that it’s a Benelli Accessoriespart, I am kinda anal about being brand specific and keeping the same brand parts on my guns. Thanks allot CJan_NH 7/1/2010 11:06:28 AM No problem brother Oh, and reference the issue of the tubing losing it’s holding properties: Per the advice of a LEO friend I inserted a piece of solid copper wire into the tube to help it retain it’s shape while compressed. So far it seems to work fine-time will tell if it’s a viable long-term solution. My only concern is that it might hold so well that it compresses and deforms the plastic shell casing. I’ll keep an eye on it.

IDK how well this would work though because with too much give, you are right back where you started. aippi 7/2/2010 2:29:17 PM I simply remove the shells over night about once a month and have never had this issue. CJan_NH 7/2/2010 4:38:01 PM Originally Posted By aippi: I simply remove the shells over night about once a month and have never had this issue. That’s great to know, thank you sir! I was able to sneak away at lunch today and hit the local range with my new Mesa gear. In a word…flawless I’m completely stoked with this purchase, and I’m greatly looking forward to my next tactical shotgun training class because of it. These new parts solved the two issues I had with the previous class-no extra load carriage on the gun, and a substandard taclight mount. Based on how well this gear performed today I’ve decided to add Mesa’s Benelli Accessoriescompatible buttstock shell carrier as well.

I’ve bought stuff from them that I could’ve gotten cheaper elsewhere, I think that “Green Eyes” book and some other stuff because they ship quickly and there’s no BS. I don’t know how their dealers make it work since the prices are the same (I think) and guys seem to want the hats and stuff. I would guess in the long run sweetening the pot with the hats and bottle openers probably more than pays off. My wife just bought a flag from them and there was a bottle opener, some stickers, a copy of the Constitution and some other stuff. I doubt any of that stuff is terribly expensive to buy in bulk, but it costs something and people do get a kick out of that stuff.

Keeping customers happy keeps ‘em coming back.

ETA: You’ll really start to wonder when you order an $80 Scope Mount or $50 book and you still get all the free schwag.

or when you brake your ARMS mount, post a pic, send it in, and get a free replacement along with all the other goodies

It’s the dillo dust. First your just using it as a dry rub on steaks. Then you discover that its good on virtually all dead animals which are passed through ritual fire before eating. Then you’re using it on grilled veggies.

It’s only a matter of time till your loved ones are trying to intervene as your snorting rails of the stuff off an OBR’s stock.

I had always read the comments from people about this stuff. From what they said, you’d think it was granulated crack or heroin. I’m gonna try it on some burgers tonight.

I bought my last Scope Mount from SKD when they ran the SuckIt promotion. But they lost some serious money on that event, so I guess that’s not a fair piece of evidence.

I would suspect that people who buy through dealers do it just to save the hassle of placing multiple orders.
LaRue Tactical doesn’t sell body armor, for example, so if you were already making an order on SKD… “add to cart” and no sweat.

That’s not how I shop, though. I think about a purchase for a week or two, check all the options three times, and then, reluctantly, I’ll part with my money. It takes a serious sale or promotion to get me to impulse purchase something.

AR-15 Stock –
Susan Hamilton stands by a shipment of Vortex Optics binoculars built in Japan. This scene shows part of just one of the several bays where products are kept in inventory pending shipment to Vortex Optics Optics customers. Expanding into manufacturing the products it already designs, warehouses, advertises, sells, supports and repairs is another challenge he looks forward to, Dan said. “I know we won’t ever be big like Bushnell or some others, because our plan isn’t to sell optics to everyone that wants to sell them. Will we ever be thought of in the same way as Leica or Zeiss? It will probably never say “made in Germany” and that is something that sets those brands off, just like it does a BMW. Someday it may say “made in USA,” and that may be as good, or better.” At the beginning of 2007, the Hamiltons sold the Wild Birds Unlimited store Margie had headed up. I asked Dan Hamilton how he and Margie want Vortex Optics Optics to be remembered when they don’t have to play an active role in that business anymore.

Now I don’t know if this would have worked on every type of vest, it could just be something that worked well on my particular style vest. Ok, got you. The pad on this rifle sling won’t come close to fitting thru the D ring, but I’m still looking at using that ring one way or another, time will tell.

Wish i remembered the name of the blue bag one, as it was the most expensive of the four types offered. Different

8/7/2006 4:19:01 AM Check-Mate Industries makes the ones in the blue bags. CMI does not put the LEO marking on the ones they make for the commercial market. So, the one he had was sold to some government agency somewhere. Reference: Joe DeBello, Project Manager, Check-Mate Industries. Cole Distributing sells 1960s production USGI magazines. The problem is that some of the fake “GI” magazines are wrapped in surplus USGI paper. Unless you know what to look for to detect the fakes, I would not buy magazines at a gun show anymore. I recommend the following for Check-Mate Industries magazines: Impact Guns, Springfield Armory, Inc., Armalite (best price for small quantity) and Check-Mate Industries (minimum order of twenty-five). You can get used USGI magazines from R A Parts and LRB Arms. Those are the companies I trust for M14 Accessoriesmagazines. There are a lot of fakes out there, some easily detected but some are not so easy to spot. Guard your wallet.

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.
