On semi-autos I like them. Hawg_Slayer 4/10/2010 12:53:40 PM Thanks guys for the input. Since price was not a factor, I purchased the Mesa Tactical stock kit and rail system. As soon as the stuff is installed, I will add a shell carrier, Osprey holographic sight and a light mount to complete the build. Will post pics when it is ready. Thanks.

I find the transistion of the weapon through the firing stage is a lot smoother with the Endine buffer then with the simple two spring system of the SpecOps. The one issue that may help you decide is that the Mesa has to fired from the shoulder to receive any recoild reduction as the Endine buffer is in the stock tube. The SpecOps has to two springs, the main one is in the pistol grip so you still get the benifit of recoil reduction when shooting from the hip. IMHO, this is the best reply to the OP. The reasons cited are on point and why I went with the Knoxx SpecOps. I added the Knoxx PowerPac (side saddle, high cheek weld) and a Pachmayr GripAll to finish off the stock. I do have one Mesa Tactical piece; their one point sling ring, works great. For the sight a NC Star ; red/ green, 3 brightness levels and 4 different reticles. Yeah, I know NC star is at the bottom of the list, but the wife bought it being nice and I actually like it alot. For $60 what the hell. She likes it and it is the house HD gun which she also shoots. I couldnt be happier with the Knoxx and left a few extra dollars for other toys. http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae15/Lifer10/IMG_0175.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae15/Lifer10/IMG_0174.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae15/Lifer10/IMG_0172.jpg Nice set up, how do you like that sight? I actually like the NC Star, the quality surprised me for the price. I’ve fired hundreds of slug, double ought,mutli ball, and birdshot with this sight and it has performed very well. Dont get me wrong, I know my gear and this isnt an EO Tech. Then again I’m NOT going on a air assault mission to assault a taliban position with a NC Star, but it does its job. For a HD gun and a range gun, I’m good with the NC Star for now. Once I get a good base for my weapons collection, I’ll dump money into high end optics. I love modern optics, but am stlll a little old school and use good old iron sights pretty proficiently .

One neighbor came out and is a fellow shooter that shoots squirrels in his back yard. The others wouldn’t know the difference between this and an Airsoft gun.
KimberTLE45:
Aimpoints typically allow for faster target aquisition the further forward you run them. People get too caught up in the hunting rifle eye relief, your T-1 should be further forward (like as far forward as you can Scope Mount it on your upper receiver) an be sure that you index it prior to tightening to ensure your zero is retained.

Ill have to move it. This is my first red dot so thanks for the tip.

The rear sight should be back as far as possible.

The red dot position is personal preference. You’ll find people that swear it needs to be all

‘m sure theres a thread about them, but I just wanted to give a shout out to LaRue Tactical for a fine product.I ordered the LaRue Tactical SPR / M4 Scope Scope Mount QD LT-104, and i must say its a quality product. Not only did I get a great Scope Mount I also got a box of goodies that I hadn’t expected (hat,bag,bumper stickers,tactical bottle opener and when i get hungry a bottle of dry rub for some deer meat) lol. Keep up the great work Larue, you’ve got yourself a new customer.

The magnifier sits about 1/8 inch higher than the heads up on the EO. When you look through the magnifier at the image, it appears in the upper third of the display.

What is the fix to bring the dot back to the center of the heads up?

Thanks.

The magnifier shout have a windage and elevation adjustment. Adjust both of them so the retical is centered with in the magnifier. This does not shift the POI. This only adjust the retical with the magnifier. POI adjustment is with in the EOTech.

I missed out and still regret it. I think with the numbers here on AR15.com you could generate enough to get the long deal from CMI. Thanks again. Sir, you are very kind. I agree. The response on the next CMI magazine group buy will be stupefying. The board mentioned above is ramping up for a ten rounder CMI magazine group buy. FYI if you’re interested. First, any two or three of you can get together and order as little as twenty-five magazines from CMI. Of course, the price won’t be as good as the break at 500. IIRC, it’s $25′ish per unit up to 50 magazines but at 500 the unit cost is $20.00. Major cool. Honestly, the next group buy will be a lot of work for whoever does it. I’m taking a break right now from boxing up books to the buyers and I’ve got magazine and M1A receiver research barking at me. Plus, I’m wanting to do a major revision on the Pictorial M14 AccessoriesMagazine Identification Guide. Amongst all that, M14 AccessoriesRifle History and Development continues to blossom like a tropical jungle. Then there’s that day job. . . . Honestly, I’m kind of busy right now. After the ten rounder magazine group buy goes through across the street, there’s "informal buzz" that a twenty rounder group buy is in the air this fall. If anyone wants to jump in here and now, go for it. I’m just not able to find time for it. metalsaber 7/6/2006 8:05:21 PM Thanks for the heads up. Is there a reason for the 10rounder group buy over 20rds? –

But with that thread, it seems that quite a few people got one from "a bad batch" also. As for the screw softness info, before my father told me about it, I wouldn’t have even known! I thought it was more of an "out of spec" issue, or that it was the Benelli AccessoriesReciever. Im really hoping Mesa Tactical will sort this issue out. As i said, i love their stuff (and have been looking at a couple of their other products), all the stuff that THEY make is top quality. It would be a shame if some outsourced cheapie screws lost them customers I’ll shoot them an email tomorrow, and see if they have any insight on this issue. As Tango7 said, it very well could be a bad batch of improperly hardened screws

Again, its NOT a battle rifle. Its a semi-automatic sniper rifle. Because its a semi-auto, it has the ability to fire rapidly which will heat the barrel up and cause accuracy or the barrel itself to degrade. If you haven’t had "inoppertune" failures with your LRB, you haven’t been shooting it enough. All guns jam and break… Bottom line, the Mk11 is not intended to be a bullet hose. Its a precision instrument that needs attention and a trained operator to reach its full potential. The Mk11 beats the "M25" any day of the week, twice on Sunday. There isn’t a M14 variant that is both hyper-accurate and combat reliable. Its one or the other… Also, guns like the "M25" are nearly impossible to support in the field. The Mk14 does some to improve these issues, but its a dated system. The M14 is an abortion. A testament to the always backwards American small-arms procurement process. Granted, we couldn’t get production right for our own M14′s, but even if we had produced enough there was no interest in the weapon outside the US. Tracing the development of the FAL and CETME systems, it would appear that our allies were far ahead of us. The M14 had to have several bites at the apple to "beat" the T48 and even then, it was rigged like an Iranian election. To my mind, nostalgia has no bearing on a combat weapon. pandur

Here were my main concerns about theTrijicon RMR before purchase.
1. Wash Out
a. Even in a dark basement with a 75 lumen flashlight it was not a problem.
2. Size of Dot
a. I can easily hold groups at 1-1.5 MOA at 50m and 2 MOA at 100m, better than I can do with iron sights and up close it is fast and easy to shoot both eyes open (even for a left eye dominant right handed shooter).

Here are some pics of the dot, sorry about the quality, I took them on my phone.


Pics were with the ARMS mount and the new Am. Def. mount doesn’t block the front sight as much.

Overall I am very happy. The sight was $325 shipped and the mount was $70.91 shipped Total of $395.91 or about $100 less than an aimpoint H1 with similar mount. If Trijicon made a 4MOA Dual Illuminated model I would recommend theTrijicon RMR over the aimpoint micro hands down. As it sits, I say it is a toss up depending on need and operational use. In TEOTWAKI I would prefer the RMR, for operational use anywhere else I would say the aimpoint is probably a better sight.

Someone else is saying what I’ve been saying all along. The Mesa Tactical for the 930spx that I was sold makes my shotgun a one shot club. I have spend a lot of time on the phone with both Mesa and Mossberg 500 Accessories ,hours actually. I’ve spoken to engineers, sales reps, and customer service people at both Mesa and Mossberg. My 930spx runs like a swiss clock without the mesa sidesaddle. Attach the sidesaddle and the shotgun turns into a piece of shit reliablity wise. I have shot hundreds of rounds trying to diagnose my problem of the 930spx only firing one round when a brand new mesa side saddle was attached. I was told by mesa that I must be tightening the screws too tight, then I was told I was not tightening them enough, then I was told I was not tightening them in the proper sequence. Bla, Bla, Bla. All this was by their so called “engineer”

. All guns in china are made in gov’t arsenals and exported through Norinco or in this case CGA. This gun probably arrived in the unmarked and was rather crudely stamped by Glnic. It reads: “7.62X39mm SKS Rifle Stocks made in china by CGA. Imported by Glnic Ca. Semi-Auto” I read that China didn’t mark many of their guns destined for export in case they turned up in places that they shouldn’t be so there would be deniability. This gun has been a real social studies lesson!

ReportI just picked up a bunch of Winchester 7.62×39 from a friend and I was planning on shooting it through my only 7.62x39mm rifle, a Yugo 59/66. My concern was slam fires from the softer primers, I did a search and found this site…
