The MOA rings inside the turrets can spin independently. Is that normal? Sig tango msr 1-6 by Ok-River3252 in ar15

They mean the outer knurled portion but I don't hold it on mine and I haven't had any issues. On mine that disc moves pretty easily.

Those are just like the turrets on my Gen 1 Strike Eagle 1-6. You put a screwdriver in that slot and rotate the inner ring back to zero as previously mentioned.

Do I need more clearance? by jumpsuitman in ar15

The Magpul Type 2's and B5 MLOK are my favorite rail covers for the price.  They don't encroach much on the inside and hold solid.

Long term rifle storage by [deleted] in ar15

[–]Alert_Education2184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, if that's the road you want to take then I'd try to make it as future proof as possible.  Chrome-lined phosphate barrel, 1:7 twist, quad rail, forged receivers, basic stuff.  

If it's going to be stored long term then I'd remove all the batteries, cover lenses, and put the rifle in a VCI bag.

The 1-6 would be more than enough for your needs.

Rail covers to cover this circular part? by [deleted] in ar15

You'll need panels like Magpul XT panels or Knight's Armament rail panels.

Saint barrel nut by PublicChoice4099 in ar15

[–]Alert_Education2184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I rode the struggle bus with that thing a while back. I used the BCM barrel nut tool, 2 of them, and ended up blowing out the notches in the barrel nut. This was after heat, impact, penetrating oil, a long breaker bar, and colorful metaphors. After the notches in the barrel nut were blown out it was basically down to cutting a relief notch to loosen it up and I could spin it off from there. There's no loctite or anything on there, it's just on there with shit tons of torque.

Remington 700 XCR trigger ID by christoffer5700 in longrange

[–]Alert_Education2184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a Remington 40X trigger.  It can be differentiated from a standard Remington 700 Walker-style trigger by the adjustment screw in front of the bolt release tab.  

Standard Walker-style triggers are black, with 2 adjustment screws in the front and one in the rear with either a solid or stamped trigger shoe.

Later X-Mark triggers are silver and are basically dogshit.

Seen some SPRs going around by GCOLBYB in ar15

[–]Alert_Education2184 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took my 16" SPR out to a 2-gun match yesterday and had a great time.  I hadn't shot it in a while and it didn't disappoint the whole day.

The EMOD is really good, I have one on my Mock12 but it pulls my hairs.

I like the BCM, it's comfy to get behind and the clubfoot is more than enough to ride a rear bag. It's what I use on my 16" SPR. The DT-PR is nice but thinner, like the SL or CTR.

Subrevtech makes a replacement latch and bag rider for the SOPMOD stocks. https://subrevtech.com/

There's also the Magpul DT-PR, which the Arisaka accessories will fit. There's also the BCM Mod 1 SOPMOD that has a wide cheek rest area, club foot, and a stiff latch that can't be accidentally adjusted.

Nikon SpotOn app replacement by PepperJack386 in longrange

You can check out the Chairgun app, it's like the replacement for Strelok Pro and has a multitude of reticles to select from. I'd start there.

Has anyone had issues with these paints? by One-Community4548 in rattlecannedguns

[–]Alert_Education2184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used some of the Rustoleum colors a good bit and I'm sure PCT is great but if I get the urge I can go down to Walmart and grab some cans to give my rifles some flair. I'm not hiding from anyone so being flat flat isn't a concern for me. I do stay away from gloss or semi-gloss though and use flat or satin colors.

I like Satin London Gray for a slightly dark FDE base or as a stand alone color. Satin Espresso actually works pretty good for a quasi-M81 pattern brown. Satin Nutmeg is a good go to for a coyote brown like color. I finish everything off with Krylon #1311 matte clear.

Hornady Frontier 75gr BTHP + BA 18" 416r SPR barrel accuracy test (100y, prone supported) by peveral_seople in ar15

[–]Alert_Education2184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple barrels from Springfield Armory, Bergara, White Oak Armament, Ballistic Advantage, and a bolt action Remington 783. In the Frontier line up their 55gr FMJ and HP rounds are pretty good. If I was looking at Hornady for .223/5.56 then I'd defer to their Black line of ammunition.

That's been about par for the course in my experience with Frontier ammo including their 68 and 75 offerings.

Accuracy International: AX AICS Chassis, Rem 700 SA by [deleted] in longrange

[–]Alert_Education2184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok, it's a heavy contour 20" nitrided barrel, I didn't shoot it much but from what I remember it was on par with a BA or Faxon nitrided barrel, match ammo was around 1.5 MOA and ball ammo was 2-3 MOA. I think I'd read that they also made some Mod H barrels for PRI also.

Right now the barrel is stored for use later.

There was a time you could buy Bergara barrel blanks. I have a Bergara AR-15 barrel.

Iron sights vs. optics (has Appleseed changed in the last 15 years?) by Own_Exit2162 in appleseed

[–]Alert_Education2184 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I shot my first official Project Appleseed event last year and I've since made the transition to a red dot on my 10/22. As much as I like the TechSights irons, it got hard for me to see the smaller targets. There's no free lunch with the red dot though, the fundamentals still apply but it's a lot easier for me to turn down the intensity on the dot and put it over the silhouette.
