The bounty just keeps on coming. Sionics blem ambi lower w/o trigger, guard, buffer and spring. I'll would not use the stock trigger and spring anyway. I can't see what the blem is. Maybe overly deep engraving on magwell? Looks great to me. Especially at only $30 more than my usual stripped Mega Gator.

I've read nothing but good about Sionics. I'd like to try one of their 11.5" barrels that is tuned for suppressor use.

Are you going to SBR this lower and use it with the upper you got not long ago?

[Uffdaphil]

DW, Yeah, I wish I had jumped on that dedicated can barrel. Maybe when they do another run. Hopefully mine will run well suppressed with 5.56 mil-spec. Into month nine on Recce 5 wait.

I'm done SBRing unless they loosen the regs. Have 3 in my trust from pre new rules. Matching brands is nice but no biggee for me. So the Sionics upper will be humping a Gator (Mega).

I haven't seen any of the Mega produced sets in person yet. The engraving looks a lot more pronounced than on my Gen 3. I've got a really early Gen 3 set and it was perfect when i purchased it, albeit as a complete rifle.

Mine was far from perfect, had machining lines all over it. It was one of the ones they sent out before they started selling them to the public. It was the last Noveske item I purchased. The new Mega ones I've seen are really nice, may get a lower sometime.

I understand you don't want a new expensive lower with tooling marks all over it, but on the bright side, you're just going to scratch it up anyway shooting it. At least you have that going for you....[:D]

That is actually my favorite SBR lol.

I'm not sure what exactly Colt did, but that entire side of the mag well has those marks. My best guess is there was in imperfection in the forging that they were trying to clean up to keep that batch of lowers useable. I've seen photos of other Colt 6933s with the same machining marks, always on the left mag well. They don't bother me in the least, but they do leave me wondering WTF exactly Colt was thinking. [BD]

I tried something very close to this, several years ago with a standard sized 1911. Shoot it in dim light if possible and let us know what you think? I'd be interesting in seeing what results you get.[:D]

FT

[schambers]

Took the gun out for a confidence test and about 125 rounds in, the front sight started wiggling back and forth, causing friction against the slide and resulting in failures to go into battery. Sent Nighthawk an email about the problem.

Initial impression of the compensated barrel was very favorable and strings of fast fire were very easy to achieve. Hopefully they can give me a permanent solution to the problem because I would really like to start carrying this.

As it stands now, the pistol is completely deadlined.

[schambers]

Ever have any issues with front sights attached directly to the barrel?

I've never heard of the issue before but I haven't had much experience with a setup like this, where the front sight it dovetailed so close to the barrel ports. Most of my other experiences with ported barrels have been with sights that are attached to the frame, and the compensator is a separate part.

Still waiting to hear from Nighthawk but I'm starting to think about asking them to put in a new front sight and then staking it or welding it in place.

Funny you post that I was just looking at their conversion yesterday. Saw a pretty inexpensive LED conversion while at Home Depot and wanted to compare the specs. I think the one I saw at home depot said 140 lumens but I don't think it'd actually get that. Malkoff says 270.

[Uffdaphil]

With Mallkoff I just assume it's the best option. You can buy his shortened reflector, but it took 2 minutes with a hacksaw to cut mine down to fit.

Ha..ha.. Reminds me of a story. A friend of mine a Navy Master Chief (now retired), hated grocery shopping at the San Diego Naval Base. The NCO club was just across the road, and she drug him screaming and bitching, into the Commissary. When they got to the dairy section, he yelled at the top of his voice: "Milk? Milk? There's no beer in the refridgerator and you wan't MONEY FOR MILK FOR THE KIDS, YOU SELFISH BITCH! He then proceeded to the Club and drank beer, until he realized his wife left him there on the base with no ride home.

Although he is still married, his wife no longer asks him to go to the exchange.

The moral here, Pyzik, is there is possibly something you can extract from this for future use, when you're wife guilt's you out of spending the household money on gun parts. Good luck.

I didn't know their were two versions but I'm assuming it's version I. I bought it refurbished from Canon. I've only taken a few photos with it but I can already tell a distinct difference. Now I just need a new body and a better lighting setup and I'll be set!

Haha Joelski, learn how to use a camera and you'll love it! Shooting a camera is a hell of a lot cheaper than shooting a gun that's for sure...

Gotta be an Over/Under ... lots of gauge options ... lots of grades. I'm guessing Silver Pigeon in 12 Gauge with 28" barrels.

[schambers]

Damn close guess Jerry! This model is marked A.S.E with a sale around 1942. May have proceeded the introduction of the silver pigeon line by a few years. I have some research done by the previous owner but I still need to contact Beretta and see what info they can give me.

*edit* The sleuths at shotgun world forums are helping me with finding more identifying information so at this point, I may not even be correct on the model.

Here's what I know so far:

- 12 gauge O/U Beretta Model AS 12E (pre-model 90 I think. Some think the forge stamp puts the gun at a manufacture of 1959 but I'm still waiting on confirmation of that fact)
- 28" barrels with 2 3/4" chambers
- Kersten style (sliding cross bolt) action lockup

- Top barrel is choked to 0.680" diameter
- Bottom barrel is choked to 0.700" diameter.
- Full over Modified or maybe Extra Full over Improved Modified? (Finding out that the barrels have different chokes makes the double trigger option make a lot more sense)

- barrels are made of chrome-molybdenum steel

This is common for .308 BCG's. Did you push the bolt in past the cam pin hole then try to pull it out far enough to push the cam pin back? If so, I'd almost bet that's what happened. Most .308 bolts warn of this with the instruction/spec sheet. You have to be very careful when pushing the bolt back in, not to do this.

You absolutely chose wisely. I did a little rough math the other day, and between my AR builds, builds for friends, etc - I've spent over $4,000 (like way over) on triggers since 2012. The majority have been Geissele, but have also used Wilson Combat, Elftmann, CMC, American Gold, etc. What I've learned from all of this is that there is no better value out there than the Geissele G2S trigger.

[apmcdaniel]

This came in Friday afternoon, but I was out of town until last night. There fit and finish is typical #Fortis quality - which is excellent. It is a solid piece, and there is no rattles when it is locked up. Hoping to get a build done this week that will include this piece as well.

USPS can gargle my sack. Buncha bag sucking whores. Yet another Govt agency rife with theft and lax service. If you deal with these tards, no matter how good your local office is, they'll route through some shithole that proves the theory. FedEX Air or Ground, period. No Home contractors. That's the only way to get accountability for the stuff you send and have it get there in one piece without an added expense for doing thier f$king job right in the first place! [/Rant]

[fledge]

Meanwhile, Brown was supposed to delivery Thursday. It was out on delivery Friday and went back to the depot at 10pm. They will deliver "next business day" which means after the weekend. A three day shipment will be 12 days.

[Joelski]

That's normal for them. I just got a call from my PO and it looks like a burn. I hope some driver gets his ass cooked for theft, but it won't work that way.

[gatordev]

FWIW, the majority of your USPS Priority mail goes through FedEx, with a small percentage that goes to UPS. Personally, of the three, USPS tends to have the best speed to cost ratio of the three for that sized package.

I'm pretty sure UPS uses bears on tricycles to move their packages.

[GOST]

I prefer FedEx delivered to their store for me to pickup. I've quit using UPS after they tried to charge me $19.00 to ship a VG6 Epsilon ground to Salt Lake City, USPS charged me $4.00.

[Joelski]

Glaciers are faster than UPS ground. Yes, USPS subs cross country stuff to FedEx, but getting to to and from the FedEx hub is where the damage seems to occur. I've shipped a lot of stuff and the biggest thing I've learned is that the safest way to ship with any carrier is disassembled and packed tight into the smallest boxes possible.

[SINNER]

UPS is the best of the sack garglers around here. FedEx is OK but often they create issues for no reason. Like when they decided a few barrels in a old rifle box required a FFL to receive it. USPS is just USPS. 50/50 chance the disgruntled carrier will throw it in a dumpster or deliver it.

Well, it seems that after a two week nap, my USPS item will be arriving today. My irritation still overrides my relief, and at the very least, the P.O. should refund UW's 3 Day Priority mail fee for this blunder.

Well let's see if there is anything inside the package. A few years back USPS delivered to me an empty tube.

Sinner, do you like it so far? Kind of cool that the two legs come off and can be used as trekking poles or as a monopod with the ballhead. I played around with one of these at the USASOC competition earlier this year, but it's not the same as owning and using one.

[din]

So many gun parts I still need, but cutlery will always be my kryptonite.

I wasn't ignoring you, I wanted to actually use the tripod. I used it with a Hog Saddle this weekend and it worked flawlessly. Pretty much an equal to my Swarovski tripod that cost double what the NF did. Briefly used the monopod also with equally positive results. As for the walking stick options they seem serviceable in a pinch but I don't expect to stop using my LEKI micro's anytime soon.

Overall pleased with the tripod. Really the only downside is that it uses Arca style plates and not the Manfrotto QD style.

No worries, thanks for the feedback. While manfrotto plates are popular in the firearms industry, arca swiss is considered the industry standard for photo/video, and has much wider acceptance worldwide. RRS has a super nice set of 1913/m-lok/keymod arca swiss mounts. Also some arca swiss adapters for various bolt gun chassis.

I may have to snag one of the NF tripods, as I hate to risk my Gitzo/RRS setup for use in the field. I might still drop my RRS head on the NF legs, but want to see how the NF ballhead compares (I know it won't be as nice, but it might be sturdy enough).

[SINNER]

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea RRS had that many adapters available. Certainly changes how I feel about the Arca plates.

RRS makes amazing gear. Expensive, but super tough, built for a lifetime of use. I've had some of their ballheads and other parts for my cameras for many years with no complaints. Their new hog-saddle style rest is also super nice. I wouldn't mind a set of their legs, but I don't shoot with a tripod enough to justify it.

[SINNER]

Looks like top quality and in that case I certainly subscribe to the "buy once, cry once" mentality. I can say I am more than pleased with the Hog Saddle. Locked down rock solid and never once slipped even on a 15lb. .338 Lapua.

Maybe Arisaka needs to expand into the adapter plates game. Lol

[fledge]

Good info guys. I wish I could bookmark in Tapatalk just this discussion.

Oh don't worry I'm not bashing the hog. The hog saddle is combat proven and still issued to our Marines. I'd be happy with one, for certain.

GF picked up some cheepy cheep ammo for tp and general effing off purposes. Peel washer set for 5/8x24 and a Aimpoint lower 1/3rd mount. Got tired of waiting on the KAC, so I'm sure it'll be back in stock soon.

So I thought USPS got me again. I mailed a package to Pyzik on 6/20 2 day priority. Allegedly it was supposed to arrive on 6/23, then nothing. It was MIA for 3 days and suddenly updates that it's out for delivery today.

WTF... no wonder USPS loses billions.

And yet I have a package coming from RA that was sent out on Friday and arrived today. It's always one extreme or the other.

That REALLY sucks!! That was why it was hard to do business with Randy Lee at APEX. They required all firearms be sent FED EX overnight due to the number of thefts they were experiencing. You also pay FED EX overnight for the return, so there's ridiculous upfront costs just to get and receive your firearm, before they even touch your gun. All because some FED EX employees have sticky fingers!

I bet that's in the HOME/Contract carrier sector. You should be okay with Ground.

I've been shopping around for a dedicated bipod for my 6.5 Grendel build. While I've never had a Harris bipod fail, I wanted something more robust yet light. Found this great GG&G model on clearance on the MidwayUSA site for $156.56 - what a deal! This is going to be perfect.

But NF had 3 tubes left, who knows if I would ever have a chance to get one.

No I hear you. I've been off the "gun grid" this week due to some mandatory "here's how to be a civilian" training, so haven't seen any of the social media info on these. Still, it seems like these are the "last batch"...until the the next year when they release more.

I'm actually sitting on another one that will either be used for shooting or used to fund a NF 1-8, but I'm starting to lose hope on when that might actually be a thing. But you know that story already.

[Joelski]

USPS took 10 days of my precious time to deliver this (I paid for 3k insurance and 3 day priority shipping). "10 tops" weep at that slab, which is old growth PNW 5A exhibition grade flame; yes, oppulent indeed!

So glad I sold mine before they released the latest batch. Worst NF optic I've ever used. Like looking through a peep hole on a door with sunglasses on compared to even the 32mm objective lens.

LOL... unforgiving eye relief.

The price I paid, I can get my money out of it if I decide to dump it.

[SINNER]

The lack of light gathering got me too. It was good to about 6 power then it got dim fast. Aging eyes don't help. I made out well on mine so no complaints there.

[Slippers]

Coming from the 32mm version previously, it does have a small eye box. And any time you hit lower light levels it needs to be backed off to 8x.

Otherwise, it's an amazing scope when you consider the size and weight. Huge capability in a small package. I love it on my MWS.

[mustangfreek]

I want in the nightforce club....lol

It does pack a good punch in such a small package it appears by the features and size

Not a good picture - but I'm really excited to get this new Lobos Industries' HK VP9 Trigger installed and tested.
