For those who were wondering:
The reason Surefire recommends muzzle brakes instead of FHs is because the brake acts like a baffle, sucking up much of the powder blasting and saving most of the can. Interesting. Learning hath occurred. |

Can anyone suggest the best buffer weight for a Mod 0. Thanks.

I think I have an extra H buffer somewhere so I'll probably roll with that unless I have any problems. It'll be out of an LMT upper if that makes a difference. |

Just scored an ACOG of Primary Arms for an absolute steal. They have a big sale going on right now and it's awesome. Pics when it arrives.

I've promised myself that NVGs are my next purchase for sure now.
I recently dropped a ton finishing off some optics and accessories needed to complete a few rigs. I literally have zero logical reason to purchase another AR platform rifle or upper for the foreseeable future as well. That has pretty much eliminated any reason to stray from the NVG course now. |

View Quote I'd love NVG but WI's laws about as grey as can be about NVG rifles being used at night and the possibility of them being used for hunting. The laws for night hunting were written in the 70s and never updated. |

NVG is fun as hell. I wish I had more reason to own them, but in Florida it was just too hard to find a place to get out and use them. Texas was ideal for them.
