I'm curious if loose when folded means the stock flops around its intended axis of rotation. Law does this too, but it's not a big issue since it's being stowed in some kind of a pack or bag, the only real value of the folder as noted above, or locked in the functional position as soon as...
I have the same eye for finish, but would not let it bother me a bit with the quality of work and functionality, and that history that goes with it. Bonus points for the build on a straight up Made in Belgium rather than Assembled in Portugal.
Sounds like a rewarding hand off between owners...
Shared opinion with gregkl and others on going with a smaller dot and increasing brightest if/when you want to make it appear larger. Most experience with Aimpoints on ARs (20+ years) where I've always used 2 moa, which seems to be the more popular dot size on all Aimpoint Micros, and Aimpoint...
I answered this question for myself this summer as I moved from G19 to G19 + TLR-7A carry. In both cases I bought holsters designed for the TLR-7 that also end up working for the 7A. IWB Vedder LightTuck with full adjustable cant angle; it really only retains through friction and compression...
Ok, thanks. It looked like it might rotate but could not deduce purpose. I only have a secondary cigarette/charger plug inside my console and it looks like they just have an opening to expose it.
This would be ideal (and long considered) for when the vehicle is parked away from home, although...
Good review. Great photos. Have considered one of these but never looked seriously at all the available options. Looks like the unit to fit my vehicle is a complete box, even more secure and easier to install with two bolts.
One question, what is the purpose of the sheet metal assembly...
I really enjoy Arizona, diverse landscapes as you travel around the state, but have not been for many years now (mid 2000s). I also did the Pink Jeep tour in Sedona... 29 years ago!
One thing that will not have changed is the landscape around Sedona. If you are into photography at all beyond...
Looping back on "straight buffer tube" using the sling for outward tension. BTDT years ago. First pistol build in the days long before braces, LMT 10.5". My first two pistol lowers still have the receiver end plates with left side hole extending for an HK hook single point sling, which is...
Hohn, while a good 11.5" can be extremely accurate at intermediate ranges, it's really those longer ranges where I start to be concerned that the muzzle velocity was slower at 0 yards, so it has a head start on velocity drop with increasing range. Close in I am not sweating a 3" difference, not...
It never got to the point of sending anything in, but I gave up on S&W after they completely orphaned the M&P 22 pistol (that they outsourced) with zero parts support immediately after introducing their M&P 22 Compact pistol, so they were unable to resolve off axis barrel threads on an M&P 22...
A long term KISS lightweight SBR upper want of a Colt 6933 was subverted when Colt started using 0.750 front sight bases with an obnoxious step machined just in front of the sight. Not willing to track down an uncertain history used upper and pay the asking prices for them. By the time I looped...
From experience and a lot of experimentation, what Karl said: Headmount NV, visible/IR laser on the weapon. Even if shortening the life of expensive night vision was not a concern, it is slow, ineffective and sometimes impractical (e.g. running barrel into walls) or unsafe to have to move the...
I will third North American Rescue (https://www.narescue.com/). They are not just a reseller, they are the source for the well regarded US mil issued CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet). I would go to the source or a well-known reputable vendor for such items and not Amazon which can't be...
I think some people are overestimating appropriate situational awareness and avoidance providing 100% coverage. Surely valid if you can avoid leaving a rural property and small towns, but once you get close to population centers people have suddenly run into mobs turning the wrong corner, being...
When OP says modifications I'm not sure if that means modifications by users, or the wide range of various designs in the marketplace. Folks have pretty well covered the reason for the charging handle to lock into place, but the purpose of a lot of diverse lever designs on charging handles is...
I researched this several years ago and achieved success using a Seekins 1913 free float rail, but it looks like it is now discontinued. It used the same replacement barrel nut as their current MCSRV2 free float rail that are MLOK. That barrel nut is drilled in multiple locations for a gas...
Another downside to bottom placement is whatever barrel length extends out beyond the light is casting a shadow upward in the worst possible location. Starting with lights on ARs long ago when there were fewer mounting options and bulkier lights to get any kind of lumens, I developed the habit...
Most frequent EDC is no safety, but that was more an aspect of the design to get to a particular optimal size and capacity for concealment where no safety was not a deal breaker in the balance of trade-offs. Reliability is top criteria not subject to trade-offs.
The current HK hammer-fired...
Major one that comes to mind for me spending so many years shooting ARs, is the sound of an AR bolt closing when it's been locked to the rear and you push the bolt release lever. It's a fairly drawn out combination of sounds from the bolt carrier sliding in the receiver, the recoil spring...
If immediate accessibility for serious purposes is the application I would not ask, cheaper options? I would ask, better options? But from extensive prior research I'd say you put your finger on it with the Kenai. I was looking at a Kenai holster for G20+X300U-A for a hiking trip in the...
