Cav scout must've wrote that, all that 11B bashing lol
Extremely well said.
Saw it on tacticool memes page. They tend to share some really reasonable stuff when it comes to best practices, also making fun of people who do things like small of the back carry a rock arms 1911 without one in the pipe in an uncle Mike's holster
That was painful to read
I like my ACOG
They're really simple and there's nothing wrong with that. You don't have to worry about fiddling with anything. Only real issue is the eye relief.
^ yea. Still can’t believe trijicon hasn’t made there accupoints with any of the ACOG reticles
A lot of the acog reticles are better suited for fixed power or 0 power optics
The Anderson finally died, firing pin retention pin broke and the firing pin dislodged and the bolt is now stuck forward
You can pull the barrel offand get the BCG out the front
I got it out but that's just the assement of how it finally malfunctioned/killed itself
Ah
Anderson lowers are fine, uppers too for that matter... it's the internals I always hear issues with
Which one of you has the slideshow of Anderson failures? Add this fellow haha
The only parts I've had issues with consistantly are the take down pins and the extensions on the upper they go through, always wobbly even though I damn near have to hammer them in
That's the pins more than likely
The pins are to spec, and the pin holes are too, I think the extensions off the upper are a tiny bit too narrow
Yeah that took me forever to make lol
Basically scoured the ar15 forums
Because of the materials used in the upper and lower, structural integrity is probably okay but the tolerances are so bad, and stack on top of each other, that they can cause issues which lead to catastrophic failure
mine also has a rifle buffer crammed into a carbine length buffertube
Is there a reason for that or....
I don't know, it just does
Wh....what the fuck
B-but why
It is a fixed stock so maybe some moron though all fixed stocks tool the same buffers
They may have been an after market mod/fuck up but as far as I know everything except the gas block is factory
I’m not calling you a liar, but I’m pretty sure you can’t cycle a gun with a rifle buffer in a carbine tube
Anyone have any experience with the romeo 1 reflex mounted on a sig p320? Thinking about buying one for my p320-m18.
I’ve got like, 100 rounds on one that was on a 229. I would get a more proven optic personally, I think even the newer holosuns have a better track record
Ill be real with you, I dont know shit about optics when it comes to sidearms lol. I've always rolled with irons. I would just need to buy a mounting plate right? (If I went with another brand)
Depends how your slide is cut
It's looking like its basically impossible to get ahold of a Hodge receiver set. People out there have tried for years, even calling in before a shipment drops, and still can't get them. So I'm looking at a few other brands for receivers, the goal being a fuck you rifle build. (likely gonna give my 11.5 to my fiance to learn with since it's relatively light and small, and very smooth shooting.)
So for receiver sets at the moment, I've been looking at forged, and two on the list are Zev and Noveske. Neither of which I have experience with but Zev makes Hodge receivers to their spec and seem to be known for tolerances so tight that it'll hold a barreled upper without pins. Noveske is Noveske, already known for quality. Can't really get stripped KAC uppers and I have my own barrel to use.
Could do billet as well but I'm still researching the pros/cons of that.
It's either a rifle buffer or it's a very long and distended carbine buffer, I'm leaning towards rifle since the gun is a stiff bitch to charge and recoils, differently
Hmmm. Pics? Or measure it
@Artemis Gen III noveskes are some of my favorite rifles/receivers.
Although it should be noted GenIII Noveskes are SMOS receivers, and Gen4 are Q.
Same listed tolerance of critical parts as the hodge receiver
