Some good input Koshogi! QD seems super popular for some odd reasons one thing I dont get it the need for QD scope mounts for 99% of civilian applications its not necessary but hey do what you want with your rifle if it works for you and you like it.On a side note I like my AFG2 over VFGs as it feels more natural for me.

Saw a joker flogging a product by the name of "UNIGRIP" on the News this AM, at Feildays

He had taken a VFG, dubious even as a "insert favourite tacticool logo here" branded accessory, savaged on a couple of zip ties and was happy as Larry, even made the news. I nearly lost it laughing.

Good luck to him, I see it made a list of "innovations" that may win some financial backers to get the ideas of the ground.

Hope @gimp saw it, he loves VFG's

Fu*k Me

Is that what you call innovation and design these days.

Looks like something we used to make as 10 year olds.

I'm bloody sure it wont make that Ruger shoot any better, despite the claims made by the designer

I like QD scope mounts. It gives me the ability to change optics (Aimpoint, Eotech and 1-4 Vortex) depending on what I'm doing or what I want, quickly and without the need to re zero. I can also use them on different firearms by recording the differences in zero.

I understand your point though, a lot of users only have one optic and have no intent of changing it.

I change out my acogs and long range scopes quite often between my rigs depending on what im doing. The QD system works well. Its fast and doesnt need to be zeroed again if taken off and then put back on. It takes 10 seconds and saves fucking around with hex nuts or screw drivers or those awful windage adjustable millet rings which should be put on once and never taken off again.

Foward grips, lasers, and torches might look cool if you are that way inclined but be realistic. Who really needs all that crap hanging off their rig? Every now and then a newby will turn up to a club shoot with all this shit hanging of their gun and by the next match its been binned. Think practical not tacticool and it wont cost your wallet as much.

Excellent advice.

Fluffy dice are not Tacticool.

But I believe there is plenty of room for a swiss army knife.

Thanks Rushy. Here's another one.

What sort of neck tension are you guys running in your AR reloads ? I've only got the lee die at the moment, and with the neck expander removed I've only got between .002"-.003" at the most. Will this be enough ? and are people using crimp dies ?
I'm new to reloading for semi auto and don't want to stuff it up first time out, so any tips would be appreciated.
Cheers, Red

[res]

I crimp for all semi auto rifles as I feel it's safer

I don't bother crimping. My Hornady seating die has been working fine.
Just had to go to a small base body die as the Hornady FL wasn't sizing down enough. Had a few jams.
