If that's correct, she was aiming 14 ft above the target. Do the iron sights on an M16 adjust that much?

I wanted an EVO 3 S1 until I saw that Atlantic is releasing an AK-9mm. Choices...

Colion gave a good review of the CZ vs. MP5. Big takeaway is ergos.

And of course he loved it; he was shooting a suppressed F/A SBR! Joking aside, I know he shot/reviewed the pistol, too. But he was a little inconsistent and I'm not sure I see how the ergos are the big plus. He makes the statement in the SBR vid that "Ergonomically this thing blows the MP5 out of the water. From the charging handle to the safety to the stock, it's just a better feeling gun." But then in the pistol review video, he goes on to complain that the safety digs into his trigger finger... MP5 safety is in almost the exact same location and doesn't dig into your finger, so I don't see how this is a plus; you can't say something is more ergonomic and then complain about how obtrusive/inconvenient it is; that's the opposite of ergonomic. Also, charging handle is almost exactly the same as MP5, as is the mag release (though some MP5's have additional AR-style mag release for more options, which I would say should give the edge to the MP5 if anything). Seems like the only ergo benefit is lighter weight and the AR bolt-release. My takeaway from watching both those vids was "It does a better job at being a 'modern' submachine gun." So basically, it's new and pretty. I'm just giving you a hard time/being super critical. The big thing I don't like is I can't stand the look of the pistol grip. The dumb knobby thing on the end. Honestly everything other than that is :thumbsup: and if I had to choose one to actually use, assuming identical reliability, it'd quite possibly be the CZ for the lighter weight to lug around. But I still say the MP5 is sexier. I dug out an old MOE grip that I had used to practice stippling at one point, and that I'd painted "Satin Dark Taupe" a year or so ago to put on my AR-15/22 build, and tried to goof around with some distressing. Looks like **** I wet-sanded with 400 grit, which apparently doesn't quite let the black completely show through from underneath, since it spreads the paint particles around once they're sanded off. You can see my stupid silver piss-ant upper in the pic as well.. EDIT: I like this though: Last edited by darthalal; 04-07-2015 at 02:18 AM. |

The charging handle is most definitely NOT more ergonomic than the MP5. That was one of my main observations.
Installed my SSA last night. Trigger pin is ~0.005" ±0.0003" short - when right side is flush with receiver, left side is recessed into the receiver by the aforementioned amount. Geissele is sending me a new pin and asked for length measurements when I replace it. Texted my FFL, he said he measured a mil-spec ALG pin at 0.896" and SSA pin at 0.893". My ALG pin is 0.899" ±0.001". |

I'd just krylon your rifle and dry fire and handle it a lot. Those mechanix gloves with the grip on the palm wear it down pretty fast. |

It just sucks because most of the reason I built the AR was to use it for pictures, and I can't get this **** off of it to do so... Maybe I'll give the aircraft remover a try this evening. |

I finally got my hands on an 308 AR carbine buffer (it's one weight shorter than a standard carbine buffer, aka 1") and tried it with the MVB stock and a standard spring. It is just barely too long. It's unfortunate, because the long 9mm buffer I was using is exactly 1" longer than the standard carbine buffer. And the AR 308 carbine buffer is 1" longer than the "usable" portion of the MVB buffer.
So logic would dictate that it would work, but it seems MVB made their buffer and tube the exact length necessary for a 5.56 to function. Guess I have to play the weight game. |

If I shake the buffer, I can hear some rattling, so if there's a spacer or room, I could cut the end off the buffer, re-drill the hole for the roll pin and that would work. I'll try to reiterate what's going on...the MVB ARC uses a special buffer that fits into the back of the BCG, so the overall length is shorter but there's still enough weight. 9mm BCGs have a built in tungsten weight (since it's a blowback system) and I can't use the ARC buffer with that weight in there. So I either use the proprietary buffer/spring and lose the large weight on the BCG and hope I can get enough weight in the buffer alone. Or I use a shortened standard buffer, retain the BCG weight, and for sure have enough weight (while having a relatively "standard" buffer/spring system). |

All this talk of painting has me back on track for my cerakoat project. Thoughts on duracoat vs cera? Anyone do their own? Helpful hints? I don't mind the oven steps and it seams like a better coating.

scored a nice condition Competition Kit. Decided to eff around and put it on some different guns I have. (Long barrel with weight and bushing installed in a standard slide)
I'll harvest the parts, put a new normal barrel in it and sell the "stock" setup for 85% of what I paid |

I'm not so much worried about minimizing the cycling distance as I would rather use readily available parts and ensure I have enough weight cycling.

Got my shipping notification for the CZ...should (hopefully) be here Friday
Also, another Steel Plate Challenge weekend, another **** forecast. So far, since getting the necessary stuff to do it, I'm 3 for 3 on rainouts. |
