You are going to end up with a melted front sight. The magpul sights are not meant to be mounted on gas blocks.

You’ll find one easily, they sell gas block sights all over.

Your neighbors don’t care about you running around the front yard with a rifle? Must be nice

Aimpoints typically allow for faster target aquisition the further forward you run them. People get too caught up in the hunting rifle eye relief, your T-1 should be further forward (like as far forward as you can Scope Mount it on your upper receiver) an be sure that you index it prior to tightening to ensure your zero is retained.

Tomac Comparing ACOGs to EOTech is like apples and oranges, I know…

But after watching this (BAC flash video from Trijicons site), it seems that once you get used to the magnification the transition from an EOTech to the ACOG with BAC shouldn’t be too difficult.

Does this theory hold water?

No.

BAC does not have the same POI as the POA. Its always off in

I found some instructions last week for an EOTech. It was talking about how it had only windage adjustment. Elevation adjustment was with the mounting system. It turned out it was instructions for a sight made for a bow, not a gun.

I like the M14 Scope Mounts, and will never get rid of my M14 Scope Mounts-EBR or my other standard M14 Scope Mounts. However, I think it’s time the Army ditch the platform all together. Right now the AR10 is a nice temporary solution, might even be “THE” solution for the next 20 years.

However, all the big problems have been pretty much resolved, and overall it has served great the past 50 years. I am curious to know who is “they” though, the “they” who are causing the problem managing the fielding? Are you talking about the “Army Decision Makers” in general? Who corrected the M16 problems? Was it not the same “Army Decision Makers” or did an outside source come in? Also who handles the Marines small arms program? From all the clippings I have read, they seem to got their act together.

Do not take off your battery compartment when the sight is still on….

what distance are you sighting in…making that kind of adjustment to sight in an optic is not unusual.

I thought I did turn it off, but I could easily be wrong about that. I did not know about this issue so I was not paying close attention.

I had planned to sight it in at 100 yards, but I did not get that chance before taking it to a local pumpkin shoot with the WA group this weekend. I quickly discovered that I was not hitting anything with it, and could see bullet impacts high-right, so I set up a target stand at about 15 yards to test it. Sure enough, the POI was about 3-4 inches high and to the right. I’m just guessing about that as I threw the target away immediately after getting a rough sight in at that distance. After that I was getting consistant hits on small pumpkins out to about 75-80 yards. Many o’ punkin got vaporized that day! I plan to do an accurate sight in at the next opportunity.

The reason I was surprised is that EOTechs are supposed to be bore sighted at the factory, and my carry handle sight is dead on at 200 yards with the aperture at mechanical zero.

Thanks again for the help.

There is only one real way to fix a battery optic issue once and for all……buy an ACOG

Actually, I really did want an ACOG. I have some minor vision problems with dot type sights that don’t occur with ACOGs, but after debating the cost versus the benefits I decided that the additional expense was not worth it for me.

On semi-autos I like them. Hawg_Slayer 4/10/2010 12:53:40 PM Thanks guys for the input. Since price was not a factor, I purchased the Mesa Tactical stock kit and rail system. As soon as the stuff is installed, I will add a shell carrier, Osprey holographic sight and a light mount to complete the build. Will post pics when it is ready. Thanks.

I find the transistion of the weapon through the firing stage is a lot smoother with the Endine buffer then with the simple two spring system of the SpecOps. The one issue that may help you decide is that the Mesa has to fired from the shoulder to receive any recoild reduction as the Endine buffer is in the stock tube. The SpecOps has to two springs, the main one is in the pistol grip so you still get the benifit of recoil reduction when shooting from the hip. IMHO, this is the best reply to the OP. The reasons cited are on point and why I went with the Knoxx SpecOps. I added the Knoxx PowerPac (side saddle, high cheek weld) and a Pachmayr GripAll to finish off the stock. I do have one Mesa Tactical piece; their one point sling ring, works great. For the sight a NC Star ; red/ green, 3 brightness levels and 4 different reticles. Yeah, I know NC star is at the bottom of the list, but the wife bought it being nice and I actually like it alot. For $60 what the hell. She likes it and it is the house HD gun which she also shoots. I couldnt be happier with the Knoxx and left a few extra dollars for other toys. http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae15/Lifer10/IMG_0175.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae15/Lifer10/IMG_0174.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae15/Lifer10/IMG_0172.jpg Nice set up, how do you like that sight? I actually like the NC Star, the quality surprised me for the price. I’ve fired hundreds of slug, double ought,mutli ball, and birdshot with this sight and it has performed very well. Dont get me wrong, I know my gear and this isnt an EO Tech. Then again I’m NOT going on a air assault mission to assault a taliban position with a NC Star, but it does its job. For a HD gun and a range gun, I’m good with the NC Star for now. Once I get a good base for my weapons collection, I’ll dump money into high end optics. I love modern optics, but am stlll a little old school and use good old iron sights pretty proficiently .

11/12/2008 6:16:43 PM A lot of M14 Scope Mounts‘s are being converted to Mk14 EBR rifles. Most of those are 18" barreled, but you will see some 22" rifles too. The EBR rifles use a Sage stock and all the other stuff I listed above – shop the SEI catalog to get an idea. *Currently* M14 Scope Mounts‘s that aren’t being issued as EBR’s are being used with fiberglass USGI stocks, SEI scope mounts, strap-on cheek pieces, and soldiers have their choice for scopes (usually what they pay for, LOL). Most often you will see an ACOG or Leupold Mark IV. FloridaState

11/12/2008 6:44:17 PM How much am I looking at for a scope?

The choate barrel clamp will walk all over the barrel. The nordic stays put.

It may be a bit of a hassle to buy a gun then switch out the barrels, but the 930 was worth it. I don’t believe Mossberg 500 Accessories is selling non ported barrels any longer. I would call to check. If not, order a 28″ field model. Send it to Rose Action Sports in KY to cut it down and thread it. Guncat here in AR15.com is the guy from Rose Action Sports. Here is his thread: Guncat RAS He has done great work for me. Quality work and fast shipping back.

My 930 came in right at $600 too (including the work I had done to it). I don’t know how much of an effect barrel length has on shot pattern/range. A length of 22-24 seems to be popular though.

I’ve never shot mine past 50yds except for slug shots at major matches. Most of the clubs around here don’t have that much space anyway.

Here’s my 930 in action this past weekend. It ran perfect – I didn’t realize I’d shot it empty at one point through… I can’t count.

I absolutely love mine.

Love my 930 too. It is much more reliable than the 870 I used to run. I wasn’t short stroking the 870- it would not extract when hot, even after chamber work. It would also not feed long crimp buck. The 930 runs all of it. Sold the 870 and have not looked back. My barrel is with guncat getting cut to 22″ and rethreaded for chokes. I thought about cutting it to match my +5 tube, but would rather have the muzzle a bit further back so that it is less likely to pick up crap when shoved in a dump barrel.

You will see a BIG benefit from a higher magazine capacity. For 3-gun you need the maximum capacity permitted by the rules, period, end of. Usually that means 8+1 as a minimum (more if you can get it). Now, if you want to have an 18″ barrel and a magazine extension sticking 8 inches beyond it, then there is nothing wrong with this… certainly you won’t shoot the end off the mag tube or anything like that. However, I think most folks feel like if they have the extra length they may as well make use of it with extra barrel too; higher velocity, longer sight radius etc.
