That first one looks like a Norman Rockwell print!Nice.


What happened to the striker??

Anything not under government control is,by definition,out of control.


I will endeavor to persevere.

The original owner IIRC fired probably 200-300 rounds through it, and I believe all had hard military primers. That and I believe the OW dry fired the gun a lot. Needless to say my friend tried shooting it for the first time a few months ago and 6 of 10 rounds failed to fire. Very minimal indentation on the primer. Ordered up a new striker for $25.00. New striker is .03" longer than original striker.. Shot 27 rounds through it and no issues

I really like the scope!

The .10mil turrets and matching mil reticle are nice! So far she holds zero flawlessly. I feel it is a really good value for the money!



I'll put it to you like this. I'm so pleased with how nice this little $299 scope is, that I've decided to keep it on the rifle and use the over $2k I was going to spend on a scope to build a tack driving MEGA MATEN 308 AR10.

How many rounds do you think you've put through it with that scope on it?

Have run a SS 10x42 on my AR-50 for over 10 years.

If it's a Colt, it's a copy of an original ArmaLite.

I am not LARRYG36.

Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

If your AR10 is marked Geneseo, IL, it's still an AR10 no matter what some people say.

Who makes your bipod lock levers for the APA's? That is awesome.
