@Odb There are always trade offs. Fixed optics are just that, fixed. So if you are taking shots closer than 100 meters or farther than say 300 meters, 4x zoom is not the best. It all depends on what you are wanting to do. I wont be taking shots beyond 400 meters with a 5.56. Too much drop and not enough energy beyond that to be effective. I know they say 5.56 is good to 800 meters but the drop is pushing the boundaries of any optic as well as the energy isnt enough to even kill the fleas on a mule deer. This is where the 6.5 Grendel comes in. Its a beautiful cartridge. Hits with more energy and a flatter trajectory than a .308 at 1000 meters.

Yeap all true 👆 6.5 is a great round...fixed scopes are the way to go, its depending on what ur gonna do with it.

I use 6.5 for hog hunting in southern Arkansas

what about those hybrid sights?

Nice! Im building a 6.5 at the moment. Wilson Combat fluted heavy SS barrel should be arriving any day now.

@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty I dont use hybrid sights on my weapons so I cant exactly comment with an experienced reply.

i assume they're more versatile with the different ranges and such but i don't have one either

Oh Wilson combat makes great bullet slingers, I've got one that's part of my AR10 build....mr Stark do u have any micro missile in stock

@Winnie37a thanks, I wasn't sure....it appears in good shape

@Aperfectghost working on it, lol. Covid screwed up my cheap chinese supplier

@Ironman I'm building the lower on a 6.5 grendel now, and yeah people give it a thumbs down for some reason, usually people who don't know how good a round it actually is, but anyways mine is a 20" 5R rifling, would you put a rifle length gas system on it? And what is the proper weight for the buffer? I've heard mixed opinions from h2, h3, but I was thinking it would be best to go with a rifle buffer weight..

Depends entirely on the weight of the round. Heavier rounds will work better for rifle length tubes. Lighter rounds do better with carbine length. Your buffer will be matched to the gas system. A heavy round on a short tube will need a stiffer spring. And vice versa.

The barrel is 1-7 twist so heavier rounds, I cant remember offhand what I have but it's the hornady black generally, lately anything I can find, I do have some wolf ammo which is lighter but it's only for plinking

I want to say 123gr hornady

I thought i knew alot about guns, but this channel has taught me i dont know shit

Haha I hear ya @TheChicken789

Lots of knowledge here tbh from more than a few of these guys

Yes

the most complicated thing i know on guns is just how ak's do the auto pew

Yeah, I just know a bunch of gun designs and names

I don’t rlly know how they work

> @Winnie37a thanks, I wasn't sure....it appears in good shape
@Aperfectghost yea I’m about to order wood grips

Gun knowledge is an ever learning process folks, I sure even iron man has gaps in his knowhow...for me I'm becoming knowledgable about the popular Firearms out in the industry.

My love of the pew life.... started at a young age....into Military life and war...to a fun pastime w family and alot of tinkering ....I've started my way into becoming an armorer

every time i use the gunsmith option in Warzone it kind of hurts to because i know thats not how half that shit works

*ahem ahem* ak stocks *ahem ahem*

I haven't played COD in a long time

hmm

warzone is kinda fun

and with the release of zombies and such for COD cold war, they're considering adding a zombies mode to Warzone

It does but not really into BR games.....plus more and more my schedule comes between me and Gaming

Cyberpunk 2077 is coming out soon too its about the only game I'm excited about

Though cod cold war looks good so far

Just picked up 200 rds of 9mm fmj for $60... now I'm wondering if I should go online and sell it for $230

Yes<:KEK:726877368601411624>

Call it **GOCRAZYPEW**

Only thing is I've been trying to find these for months now and I REALLY want to go shred some paper

For sure scrapeing the bottom of my 1500r drum 😭

For 9mm
