Just cut another new foam for my Pelican 1720 with the new Vortex 4-16 x 50mm Viper PST FFP MRAD scope. I also bought this primos group therapy bench anchor adjustable shooting rest from WM for $49. I changed out the adjustment bolts with longer ones and wider rubber feet. I also bought the CTK Precision gun vise attachment and modified it to work with the

Well, I got one. I figure it will be good for the 308 category. Have the M1A scout, yet this one seems interesting. Think I am done spending money for a while.

Had to move it forward wearing my Smith Optics prescription shooting glasses but without I'd set it back a notch.

Some people are just obtuse. And I think you are on the right track.

5.11 Tactical TPT L2 251 Flashlight, Sandstone picked it up on Amazon for $35 but has gone up to $44, black one is $30. It's 251 lumens and very light weight plus it takes two 16340 rechargeable lithium batteries on a GG&G picatinny mount.

I ordered a pair of Wiley X valors and had prescription lens made. Love them. I think I paid just about $100 for the glasses with prescription lens from optics planet

I did some research, and wasn't a fan of the insert type glasses. I bought everything from Optics planet. These were very reasonably priced and were hardened so they provide the protection I wanted. I got mine with no tint so I can use them in any light, but you can get them tinted if you want to. I just chose the frame, and you can specify tint and if you want a prescription added to it

The Timney is definitely a nice trigger, and if it's the one that was floating around for $200, you got a serious bargain. No reason to spend $150 more for a Geissele.

Yup I had to sell some stuff in the parts bin and the trigger hasn't moved for a while after I got the Geissele in another deal. All for a good cause though, this little guy is going to find its way on my 17 next week : Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah it's going to be quite the contrast on my rifle. I traded my gently loved black 17 for an FDE one and the manufacture date on the new one is April 18.

Good strand on upgrades. I think I will keep mine stock for a while. I am using an HK MR556 for customized project with trigger, sights etc...I went that direction for a custom AR in 5.56 while going SCAR in 308. German and Belgium. Appears to be great quality from both, yet parts can be ridiculously overpriced. Yet, for more standard options, I also have a basic colt M4 5.56 and Springfield M1a 308. I am looking forward to seeing if the HK and SCAR are worth the money when I take them out the range and compare them to the American counterparts. The HK project won't be finished until next year and the SCAR should be out of jail in a week. I think I can give an honest opinion on value vs cost. I also understand that a SCAR was developed for additional uses than an old M14 which was dated back to the early 60's. For that reason, I am interested in seeing and expecting high quality from FN.
I will say when it comes to auto's, German and or European products can be painful. Once out of warranty, wow, serious costs on maintenance (import parts). Still have a Porsche Cayenne S, but don't drive it much anymore and thinking of selling and probably not buying a new one. Probably will look at Japanese for reliability. (now for a 911, Porsche is awesome - the best track car for the money) It is the price of a SCAR on an average repair job and oil changes are around $200. Japanese cars, no issues (best value). American, well, those are more collectors for the ones I am interested in. So I have mixed feeling with the Europeans on their cars, now time to see if they follow the same fact pattern with their firearms. My expectation, a lot less can go wrong with a gun than a car.

Anyone change all the hex and torx screws to titanium for some weight savings? I have thought about changing the rear flip up to a polymer version or removing both altogether. Replacing firing pin with titanium version. Instead of an extended rail I want to replace the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock rails with the PMM Mlok rails. PMM is coming out with a rail extension. Instead of a bipod use shooting sticks. Replace lower with billet or HD magnesium to use lighter poly pmags or is that prerry much a wash? I'd like to see more titanium and carbon fiber. I have to offset the weight with the heavier Vortex 4-16 x 50mm scope I just put on.

I will report back in a few weeks when I get it all sorted out. I have the PMM Mlok rails, in addition to the PMM vented lower rail, which are nothing short of awesome. The new PMM rail extension looks interesting, but I will never own one. Not entirely sure how many of us fall into the "mission essential accessories" category, but in my opinion, it's basically unnecessary weight added to a platform that was specifically designed to be lightweight and completely modular. Instead of a Bipod, I use a bag, or use a GRIP POD (bipod) I have in the backpack, which quickly attaches to the lower rail. Believe it or not, I actually like the Polymer lower, but I have struggled with getting a Handl Magnesium Module simply because I hate paying $40 for proprietary magazines. Fortunately, the Magnesium Modules have been out of stock for a while, so I haven't been tempted. As for the weight saved, in my opinion, it's a wash. At the end of the day, you will not be able to offset the weight of 4-16x50 hardware. Offhand, I know something that large weighs in excess of 20+ ounces. I use a 1moa RM09 on a Trijicon 1/3 mount. Total weight of the optic and mount is 3.5oz. |
