While I was out zeroing today I noticed I only had three ear plugs stored in my forward grip. I got to thinking what else I could fit in there. Later on, I noticed my rifle needed oiled. As I was driving to pick up targets, I noticed and MRE tabasco bottle in my change tray. So...
I have since filled the bottle with militec, as that is the oil I have right now. And on to the rifle. 
BRD is expensive.

Where do you stick the 3rd ear plug? I just use the earplugs if I manage to forget my two primary earpro. But if you roll one up and stick it in the muzzle it keeps foreign objects out of the bore. They also can be doubled over and stuck in the gap behind the trigger guard on a regular AR if someone is complaing of the discomfort. |

I think when your optic out prices most, if not all rack grade rifles, you should be somewhat immune to accusations of TAPCO intercourse.

Years ago I tried to get LaRue to incorporate a way to store a cleaning rod inside their handguard similar to an AK.
That way you could at the least have two rod sections you could slap together if you needed it. Maybe someday someone will do it. |

Kinda crappy pics. 2 1/2 rod sections (long enough for a carbine length barrel, although a third would fit.) .223 diameter brush Patch attachment. Oil and solvent bottle on the other side (not pictured) Patches in side compartment.

Op please explain how you attached the cleaning rod. I shoot Tula a lot and always seem to leave the rod at home. If I don't clean the chamber, I rip a case head off after three or four mags.

I have been meaning to try different ammo at longer ranges, but whenever I get of work it wams that its blowing 15+ mph. Then I lent the scope to a friend for a bolt gun of his, so eventually I might get around to more testing (eventually)

The OP looks like he runs his gear relatively hard, given that mags and ammo are the weak point in the rifle "system" it would be in his benefit to have the tools to address a malfunction. It is up there with purposely inducing jams and malfunctions to practice clearing them. I am sure your RRA is dependable as clockwork but at some point it like every other mechanical thing it will fail. When it does you should probably have the tools on hand to deal with it. |
