Frankly

Just ordered one. I'm not afraid to complain to my credit card company if something's shady but it seems legit. Can't be any worse than buying from random people on eBay or classifieds.

Thanks... Have you purchased from them before? Does this company have a good reputation?

Well C-More charged my credit card for a back-ordered item, which is not a good thing. They also forgot to charge shipping and while the charge went through there has been no confirmation email. It all seems a bit sketchy and it makes me doubt I could get effective warranty service so I'm about to cancel the charge. If anyone sees an $850 Razor II I'm down. Otherwise I'll just continue to use my Trijicon.

Tony I just placed an order for the C3 using this 17-month old code and it went through for $815. On their website it says backordered so we'll see if they will fulfill it and I'll let you know. Hope you got a commission. I think the C3 reticle should be great for 3Gun and usable for general shooting. I do like my front focal plane Pyramid reticle on my long range gun but that's an entirely different mindset. We'll see in practice but I think the BDC will be close with just a nod towards holding a tick high or low once you get dope. I've been waiting for one of those proverbial $850 used Razor Gen IIs to pop up but they're like Moby's Dick. The other scope I've been considering is the Trijicon Accupower 1-8 since I've liked my 1-4. But if the C3 lives up to the claims I think it's the best bang for buck.

I suspect the tight barrel to receiver fit along with a good barrel is the only really special sauce JP adds, other than overall quality parts and skill assembling. And you probably don’t have to waste time setting up your adjustable buffer to work with your LMOS bcg if you order it that way. The negatives are they are expensive, their handguards are slightly heavier than needed and fatter diameter than needed. Otherwise there’s nothing to complain about, they’re very nice!

That’s the most solid option possible!

Yeah you're right. All the same maybe I'll have my ex-wife have the first few pulls of the trigger on a new gun

I saw one video where the guy took a bolt and barrel with extension, inserted the Go-NoGo gauges and simply twisted the bolt into the barrel and either it turned or not. I'm assuming this is all they can do when they sell you a barrel with a "headspace" bolt but wouldn't a falsehood since you should check with the rifle assembled and the bolt in your BCG?

“Free Solo” is the best thing I’ve seen in years. Its the story of Alex Honnold’s solo climb of El Capitain. You don’t have to be into climbing to appreciate it.

AR Building I understand ideally you check with the specific bolt to be used but in the case of building uppers for other people and not having their bolt on hand, is it still an acceptable practice to use a bolt sans extractor/ejector to check headspace using Go/No-Go Gauges? My understanding is the variable is how you've mounted the barrel (ie not far enough in) but name-brand quality bolts should be consistent? What to companies that sell complete uppers without bolts do?

So I never encountered anything about truing uppers by lapping for a better barrel fit until I was hanging out on Typers Hide (Snipers Hide). I take a lot of their anal retentive stuff with a grain of salt but now that I've watched a few YouTube videos and read various threads I'm thinking about buying tools and doing it. Any experience and advice? Has anyone ever actually done an A-B test before and after? The skeptical part of me still wants to say you adjust your sights slightly to compensate for any off-centerness and as long as the barrel is tight all is well.

I'm hardly a feel good kind of guy but Amazon is a predatory monopoly undercutting legit small businesses run by your neighbors and mine. They will sell at a loss in order to control the market, driving smaller competition out ~ and then all bets are off. When your community looses its downtown businesses and your neighborhood looses property value because your formerly Middle Class neighbors have to fire-sale their homes then it will impact you... your property value, tax base and quality of life will decline. Oh and you're already paying higher shipping rates, especially with the Post Office, because Amazon negotiated exclusive discounts based on volume which you are subsidizing. And don't think that Amazon bothered to pay taxes this year - they didn't. But they sure did offshore their cash, hire H2b Visa holders for half the pay of an American, and automate their decently paid blue collar jobs. All while donating toad advocating for anti-2A and anti-free speech politicians who write boutique legislation for Amazon's benefit, not yours or mine. Sorry ban me if you must... Amazon may win the free market but they're bad for most Americans. I rather accept a little inefficiency and higher cost if it means keeping more of the Middle Class intact. F- Amazon. Same goes for Walmart, Harbor Freight and the big box stores. They deprive us of jobs and pass costs on to the taxpayers.

Works well, I use the metal buckle, like a ski boot

You buy the ratchet parts and drill/punch two holes in your old belt to mount the hardware. https://www.ratchetingbuckles.com/ Carbon Arms also sells bolts ready to go.

Rubber City and Taccom make or made adjustable gas KEYS that work fine too.

I’ve had good luck with them.

Don't shoot the duck. Don't buy or modify anything until you shoot a match, you're doing fine with what you've got. (Probably ok to get a holster, borrow caddies, either shoot open sights or get something you'd use regardless, don't worry about the shotgun lifters but buy a box of dummy shells and simply practice smooth manipulation and single loading.)

Get The same brand clamp and plate. Really Right Stuff is the gold standard but it isn’t that complex to do either.

Not all the plates are cut at exactly the perfect angle to fit your clamps. If you use the RRS clamps you’ll see a superior “connection” with the RRS plates because their angles will coincide, meaning more surface area in contact. Otherwise if you mix brands do a test and see if their angles match up. Using a RRS bipod clamp on a KRG Arca rail I’ve had it walk from the recoil. Also one of the selling points of the long rails is that you can move your bipod quickly to find a better position. Sounds great but I rarely needed to do that and went back to a simpler shorter plate. But you have to shoot a while to know what you like....

Let us know what happens and where to send cakes with files inside.

It's worth it to get someone to show you how to field strip it in person to know how much force you need to apply to your gun. Videos lack that kind of feedback so it's easy to be too careful (weak) or hammer it (too hard). After you've done it half a dozen times it gets much easier! They seem complex because a Glock so easy to break down.

The cool thing is the director was a stuntman but all the pacing, plot, technical aspects are first rate and far superior to the "artistes". They're really the best movies made, purely entertaining. I like modern Keanu, if I ever get a new suit I know what to get.

I’ve been using the Wilson Combat Q-Comp Quiet AR Muzzle Brake. Not very sexy but it works while not being as loud. Also reasonably priced. Feels half as loud as a 3-port. I know it isn’t but still. I know they make a difference but for goodness sake they're ridiculously expensive for what they are and do. I paid $150 (I forget exactly) for a Lil Bastard brake on my PRS rig and it's a piece of metal with some holes in it. Not much different than my $35 Miculek brake but I guess there was a lot of "engineering time". It's like my $700 ski boots are made from the same plastic as my garbage can so we tell ourselves the $ went to R&D, right?

I thought it was quite possibly the stupidest movie ever. Other than Scarlett looks good I agree.

Just saw “First Man” on PPV. Excellent movie about Neil Armstrong and the American space program. Great acting and direction, believable action, nothing hokey. So good your wife might watch it (Ryan Gosling helps). (The “flag controversy” was BS, if you didn’t come away from this in awe of their accomplishments you’re an imbecile.)
