Hey, I have 3 pair of their "Tactical" pants which are probably the exact same thing but in canvas. Christmas present from 3 or 4 years ago and honestly, I love them. They are EXTREMELY tacti-nerd, but I offset it with the Under Armor slides I wear year round.

Regular carbine gas tube vs BRT EZtune. Smallest port they offer.

hmm interesting. I did not consider that you could order a gas tube with a smaller hole....

It's worked really well for my mk18. Supposedly good for 10k rounds.

I'm not super concerned about the guns being a little over gassed, but this BCM was a bit much. Some cases were flying out straight down at the ground. Most were at a solid 1 o'clock.

With the new gas tube the BCM is now slightly UNDER gassed to cycle my favorite .223 match ammo using a carbine buffer. With 5.56 it's perfect. Time for more tinkering.

Not exactly firearm related, but kind of a cool story. Went to my father in law's 100th birthday party. Super nice guy, and completely with it. Even drove himself to his party.

He was in the navy during ww2 and served on Liberty Ships. They were transports with a small crew that was 40-60 merchant marines and 20-40 navy guys to man the guns. (Why he doesn't hear well...)

Anyway, for his 100th birthday, he got a really nice thank you for his service from congress which someone presented to him, and after that, a good friend of ours who's a Naval Captain presented him with a challenge coin. He seemed to be really touched by both presentations. Was really nice so figured I'd share the story.

Even 80 years after he served it still meant a lot to be thanked, which i guess is why I always say thanks to the older guys I see wearing their hats and also to the younger ones that keep us safe today. So to any of you here that serve or served, thank you. Hope you live over 100 years too.

The rein micro is first light w a switch. So I have no comparison. Got it mounted but seems a little hard to press, meaning takes a bit of deliberate straight down pressure. I know lights shouldn’t be easy since you don’t want ND, but just curious if that’s normal and other switches like surefire act like that as well?

In a situation, wondering if it would be easy for light to turn off momentary because your finger slipped off that deliberate pressure.

Thanks for sharing breh. On spread.

Are you referring to the tailcap button? Get their mountable button pack. I thought they all came with it anyway? I know my Rein 3.0's did

Yeah I’m referring to their mountable switch it comes with.

mine seems ok....maybe you got a defective one....I bet if you reached out and sent that back they'd send a replacement

[RThoe]

They probably have a 180 rule so be aware of that. You'll probably par out more than once.

I don't have many details yet but am excited to see what it's about.

Guys with Surefire suppressors:

How do you like the QD locking mechanism? Any issues?
Have you had any problems at all?
Any regrets?

Trying to find a reason not to get a Surefire can. Haven't really found one yet. Looking to get a .30 cal.

They're arguably the most durable cans out there. They're not the quietest or lightest, so it depends what your priorities are. I have a full size and a Mini and love them. They can and do carbon lock, so if that's a concern for you take that into consideration. Speaking of, my full was carbon locked and I shot it off yesterday. If you care about possibilities like below, look elsewhere. Personally, idgaf.

epic break down, let me know how the comparison goes.

I got a free 5.11 rush 72 2.0 from work but I think I'd like the form factor of the FAC backpacks more.

However, I didn't know direct action had a pack. I like their plate carriers a lot.

I wasn't familiar with Direct Action before finding this pack. That being said, the pack was a no-go immediately after opening it. I didn't even think about contacting them to find out about this, I just assumed it wouldn't be an issue, but on the sides of the pack there are only three columns of MOLLE. Any sustainment pouch out there requires four columns of MOLLE. What they intended you to mount to the sides of this pack, I have no idea. But it immediately went back in the packaging to be returned.

The Eberlestock Tomahawk was an interesting pack. I really wanted it to work but the built in side sustainment pouches are borderline useless and the brain is positioned weird so that if you cinch it down it exposes the backside of the main compartment of the pack. Little hard to describe, but that one also didn't work.

I'm continuing to mess with the FAC Track and I think that will be the play. We'll see.

In a situation, wondering if it would be easy for light to turn off momentary because your finger slipped off that deliberate pressure.

Only way to figure that out is to go do some night shoots. I just did a night shoot Thursday and Saturday and still love the Rein switch.

i believe theyre polish so probably some weird polish ****. Now i am curious.

Good point. Need to get out and use it. I don’t dislike it. Was just making sure needing a firm press was normal. Also , may need to adjust my vert grip and position still running quad rails so they’re a little fat

[higginsworks4me]

You shoot according to your eye dominance. Using a crazy high mount so that you can shoulder opposite your dominant eye and lay your head over is gross.

I taught her to shoot lefty

Oh I didn't realize she was cross-dominant. I mean mounting tall optics in general tends to be pretty beneficial until you go prone.

[tunejunkie]

I think the way I’m gripping it. That little ridge that borders the button makes me go straight down vs rolling my thumb onto it. Just gotta practice and fuk w my grip I think

[rectifryer]

too fat to dress tactical; too skinny to shoot 2 gun

just husky enough to chit post in mfc

Boyos looking for help identifying this rifle. Been researching all day and best I can figure is an Uberti 1860 Henry Limited Edition, but I can't find anything on it. Through all my searching I've found one site with pics of it and it's one of those stockphoto type sites selling picture rights.

It's chambered in 44-40.



Additionally, bonus points for advice on how to clean and prep the barrel, it has some rust/pitting.

I would defend my home with that just to humiliate the intruders.

[BlackJack619]

Just pulled the trigger on two eblerestock bags the switch blade and the tomahawk.

Now I want to figure out what I gota do (legally) to get my AR to fit.

Maybe change the upper and get a folding stock?

It's a beauty, I'm not mad about this acquisition AT ALL. lol

[Brozef]

The engraving makes it seem commemorative.

[tunejunkie]

Are any of the mid length BCM complete uppers on BF sale any good?

Recommend one for me so I don’t overthink

All are good. Should I pick one out for you?

Morning, MFC.


WTF is my avi?

They come and go. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

Just misc doing misc things.

[Horse86]

Fuark bros. I’m itching to buy some chit…BF deals where are you?

Also I’m looking at a 5.56 in the 16” range so I don’t have to SBR it…should I go again with DD (I’m familiar with their brand)…or go something like knights armament SR-15? Price really isn’t a concern. I want quality that will last.

She's a beauty. I'm no expert (plus I live in a dry climate fwiw) but if it were me, I'd just do my normal clean/prep routine - couple passes with a nylon brush with solvent, cleaning patches till they look reasonably clean, then finish with a patch with a little oil. I used to worry a lot more about getting a really clean patch, but not so much anymore. All in all, I spend a lot less time cleaning than I used to.
