    EBR-2C MRAD Reticle

    If you prefer to think in inches and yards, the ranging formula is: (Size of target in inches X 27.778) / mils = range in yards Say you have a 24” target, you measure it with your reticle and get 2.752mils. 24” x 27.778 = 666.672 666.672 / 2.752 = 242.25 yards

    Cleaning a Sionics NP3-coated BCG

    SOLGW has police trade-in hard chrome DD BCG's for $125. The representative pic looks to be in very good shape. DD has not made these for a while. https://sonsoflibertygunworks.com/collections/sale-items/products/daniel-defense-chrome-lined-bcg-semi-auto-used?variant=13000639578194

    Cleaning a Sionics NP3-coated BCG

    When cycling by hand, the Sionics NP3 BCG makes the action feel smoother than the previous mil-spec setup. Hasn't done anything for reliability, as the M4 was 100% reliable before. It does, however, clean up much easier. I believe I paid $185 for it. That's $30 - $50 more than the SOLGW...

    Cleaning a Sionics NP3-coated BCG

    I’ve seen malfunctions caused by excessively fouled/dry BCG’s. I can’t say with certainty what part, or parts, caused them.

    Cleaning a Sionics NP3-coated BCG

    It’s got a McFarland gas ring in it. I’ve got maybe 1,000 rounds through this BCG so far, probably less. Shouldn’t be any gas ring issues yet.

    Cleaning a Sionics NP3-coated BCG

    Bolt as it looked immediately upon disassembly. Bolt immediately after wiping down with a paper towel. Another view of the bolt tail after wiping down with a paper towel. Soaked for 1 hour in AC Delco Top Engine Cleaner, a couple of turns with a CAT-4 Tool, then a quick rub with a...

    Cleaning a Sionics NP3-coated BCG

    I’ve been running a Sionics NP3-coated BCG for a little while now in my main carbine. Thought I would take some pics and show how well it cleans up. I had approximately 500 rounds of IMI M193 ball through this M4 since the last cleaning. I usually go much longer than this before I clean, but...

    Is a 9mm upper worth the money?

    For no real reason? There is a HUGE, REAL reason; the ability to punch body armor and penetrate intermediate barriers. A gun that is quiet and comfortable to shoot, but won’t put an armored foe down, is not what I want to use. And, like I said, running a 5” 5.56 would be asinine. Everything...

    Is a 9mm upper worth the money?

    Why would anyone run a 5” 5.56? A 10” would make much more sense, and the added length won’t make any difference in CQB. Sound and flash works both ways, and the majority of both are going AWAY from the shooter, TOWARDS the target, so it’s added shit the threat has to deal with. Under...

    Is a 9mm upper worth the money?

    With the increase in active shooters, the possibility of engaging nogoodniks at longer distances is likewise increasing. I don’t shoot matches, so I’m not a fan of PCC’s. For one thing, for anti-personnel use I want to be able to punch through body armor. I already have cans to fit every...

    Glad to see a resurgence in .300WinMag. The USMC switching over to .300WinMag won’t hurt it’s popularity.

    Spike’s Tactical Releases Waterboarding Instructor Lower

    Exactly. If the key to accuracy were upper to lower fit, and it's that easy to achieve, companies like JPE and Lanxang would be doing it. I've got a JPE that I special ordered from them years ago. Hands down, the most accurate semi-auto .308 I've ever shot. I've never noticed the upper to...
