Keep in mind this set up was ultra simple/cheap, all regular AR/m4 parts, the only special stuff was the rdb "kit" and the magpul pmag 9mm inserts. I wish I had gotten the SLR SD handgaurd though.

Eta: tbac fly 9 Beside ordering a Kuna or something similar, I'd like a 9.5 or 11" MEAN Arms. I just need to decide on a suppressor, maybe something like a Deadair modular. I'll have to take some time to research 9mm cans. |

I have the the older Dead Air Wolf-9SD. I believe the current rev is called the Wolfman. I run it on a B&T APC9 and a M-11/9. There are probably many great options nowadays, but it's a nice 9mm subgun can - no complaints. |

I like the SiCo Spectre, Obsidian 9, and the Wolfman, but I'm still reviewing others. |

Hi guys, I thought I’d post this here since there are only a handful of people who might be interested, and only about half a dozen of you gentlemen have regularly contributed to building this thread into 187 pages over the last nine years or so. I have a .260 tOBR barrel available, along with a few cases of factory ammo (Prime and Precision Match) - I had no idea I still had PRIME tucked away in the back until the other day. I’m sure most of you have moved on to newer toys since the .260, but I wanted to mention it here in case anyone is interested or knows a buddy who might be looking to add a .260 tOBR barrel to their collection. Feel free to reach out if you want pics or details. |

I concur. I can't handle the LaRue hate over there. Mark's products are proven. I joined SH to meet some new people, sell a few items, and get involved in some discussions. I listed a rifle and had a guy interested. After literally weeks of back and forth, the buyer of one of my rifles said, "I'll take it," but then started making ridiculous demands (using a specific FFL he found that was more than an hour away from my location to save $20 on the transfer fee, etc.) and tried to renegotiate the price after we had already reached a deal. When I explained the situation to Frank from SH—that we had already agreed on the terms and that on AR15.com, "I'll take it" means exactly that—he wasn't very sympathetic. His only response was, "THIS IS NOT AR15.COM! The buyer can do whatever he wants." |

Shooting position is 3026', target area is 2930' to as low as 2918' at about 6-700 M. Figuring at 100ft elevation gain - 500 m = 3.5 degree 600 m = 3.0 degree 700 m = 2.5 degree I do not remember what I used in real life and I didn't save it in AB. This reminds me how much I want the Maztech. |

In a range like that I get an average angle and use it instead of measuring every shot, then I shoot the numbers AB plops out. I do not input wind and I just use the T3 wind dots calculated for 260 and I call wind. So no, I guess, I do not hold low. I think in super high angle you have to alter your hold low, which in that case it makes more sense. I dont have anything high enough to try it

One of my favorite engagements is a group of 5 sneakers from 380-420. So fun! If you want to shoot 1,000 - 2 miles I have that as well, and a place for everyone to stay… |
