HA! he said duty (sorry couldn't resist)

When your ready I'd follow mrraley's advice. They can give you a price when you call. If its something that Armalite will fix and you want to send to them, your gonna have to be issued an authorization number so you can send it in.

If you go to Krieger's web site they price out to spec for the barrel ect. If that's the route you are gonna go , trust me brother spend the money hand have it done right the first time the way you want it done. It will save you cash and heart ache in the long run.

Ahhhh carry on lol.

I shot a buddies FNP .45 tactical with all the bells and whistles. He has a RMR on his. I shot well with it but I didn't like it. I kept wanting to co-witness the red dot with the sights like I would on my AR. What is the point of putting that on there besides the tacti-kool factor? Its goona be hell to find a holster to fit and its something else to break or for Murphy to screw up. Is this for like 3 gun kinda stuff, IPSC or banging steel? Remember you fight how you train. Not to rain on the parade so to speak. Please fill me in on the use of this, because I'm not getting it lol. Give me a 1911 in .45 ACP they have been knockin dicks in the dirt since WW 1 lol just saying ........

Its about a 30-40 min drive North of Cincinnati or as I like to call it Cincinna-nasty.

Lilja, Krieger and Criterion barrels are available for purchase now .

My AR-10 SSASS loves the CBC M-80 ball for messing around on steel and its hold anyway where from .67 MOA to 1.5 depending on the box. Why dont you do a review on it after you shoot some?

Also look into Lilja he makes good stuff not at long on the waiting list. I would say the most I see advertised and that are know would be the following. These are listed as they come to memory and not by order of best or worst. I hope this helps alot will depend on your barrel length and what you want to do or how long you want to wait. Krieger / Criterion Bartlein Rock Creek Hart Lilja Douglas Lothar Wather Ranier Arms Ultr match which is a Shilien

I live in the Butler County area. Are you coming down this far south?

Well , I am not an optics whiz but I can tell you a few things. First of all BUY ONCE CRY ONCE. Unless you own SWFA, Night Force, Leupold, U.S Optics, Premier, S&B, Ziess and the high end Vortex such as the HD's they wont hold value. I have owned in my journey a Millet, Burris,Trijicon, Vortex PST and finally a Night Force. Out of these the clearest and were the Burris, Trijicon and Night Force, in that order. There are various reasons why some scopes cost more than others. Sure the " name " has some to do with it. Its mainly these things. The quality of the glass. Some scope companies put huge bell's / end objectives to gather more light to make up for the lesser quality of the glass. Repeatibiliy , the scopes mechanical ability to return to absolute zero after dialing up and down on windage and elevation. First or second focal plane for accurate mil estimation using the scope as a rang finder and a little math. First focal plane scopes are accurate to range with through out the scopes power magnification and the cross hairs will change size ( to make it easier to describe ) depending on your magnification level. Second focal plane scopes are set to range at a specific power. They type of ret. you want to use, mil-dot, horus , ect. Also if the scope is has a lit or unlit ret. A side parallax adjustment. Also if the optic has a zero stop for the turrets. The Millet was one that flip a coin if you got a good one or a bad one I would not recommend. The Burris XTR was a good scope, nice glass but it had a BDC that didn't work with the barrel length and bullet weight / velocity I was using. So BEWARE of BDC great for a specific bullet weight / velocity if you don't use the same load your gonna have issues. The Trijicon great scope, but at night you can only see the green dot and no cross hairs. Absolutely crystal clear glass my windage turret broke called Trijicon got a repair tag had back within a week or two no questions asked. Never had a problem with it since, then I sold it lol. The Vortex Viper PST. Not bad the one I purchased and had shipped to me had trash in the ret. After I wrapped it in a towel and smacked it against a phone book not a problem. It uses shims to set zero stop, a good scope for the money. The glass however was ok but not as clear as my buddies Luepold. I had issues with eye relief on it also. For some reason I could just not get settled behind it. Vortex however has one hell of a no questions asked warranty. My Night Force, ahhh, I'll drink that kool aide all day long lol. The only things I don't like about it is the eyepiece and the magnification ring all rotate and is a pain in the ass when you are using flip scope covers. The other is the glass itself is Japanese, but damn its clear, the rest of the scope is USA. The reasons I went Night Force over Leupold is the warranty. Leupold only warranties their electronics for 5 years. Night Force if you broke it, damn it must have been good send it in. Also the Night Force can be modified, you can have it sent back in to have the ret. changed, turrets ect. They can tell you the price of everything before hand. Also the scope tube is modular meaning, Lord forbid some how some way the bell of the scope gets FUBAR'd or a round goes though the tube by the eye piece, send it in. The tubes are threaded into the turret base / housing and they can unscrew the damaged part, screw on a new one, put the scope through its paces and QC and send it back. I can literally use my Night Force as a carry handle on my AR-10 SASS. SWFA I have seen a lot of them GREAT scopes too. Nice glass and SWFA customer service is also top notch and the guys at SWFA.com will walk you though with any questions you may have Me personally I can afford and cant honestly justify spending coin on USO / Premiere and S&B . I hope maybe through my experience this may help someone out. Also if I wrote something incorrect please advise me so I to can learn a little more.

Well Loki in Norse folklore was a trickster / prankster if I remember correctly. Go figure , sucks for the good people that sent them money. Sooner good job for standing up and doing the right thing by giving the money back to the people.

Sorry no sympathy from the devil.

Its DPMS / SR-25 pattern.

^^^^^^^ They basically are Federal Security Guards that are in charge of GSA / Federal Office Building Security. They travel to and from the different properties and thats it nothing special or spectacular.

nice looking rig

<lmao> cant teach commonsense in college

I keep trying to up load a pic and the file image is too big I ll keep working on it to get a pic posted. I sent one to Matt so if your reading this help lol

Got scope on yesterday and next off with the bird cage / flash hider.

It feels nice, but the trigger is horrible. Call me old fashoned but I'll stick with my AR's

I finally have my SASS in my hands. I will get the scope mounted tomorrow and hopefully soon to the range. The only fine tweaking I need to do is put in a set of anti-rotation pins as the hammer pin is rotating in the upper. So far the mods are a MDT recoil pad for the PRS stock, Ergo palm shelf grip, SSA trigger, Spikes Tactical winter trigger guard. I used a GG&G bi-pod mount adapter and am using the Aadland mount with my Night Force NXS 3.5-15. I am removing the muzzle device and replacing it with a thread protector. I am waiting to see how it shoots and if I want to buy a can or not and if so which one. I am also debating the best route such as a direct thread or a break / can combo like Surfire. Regardless its in my safe now finally..........

Proper torque on the barrel nut is an absolute must. If its not tight enough you get exactly what happened to the other gentleman plus you can run the risk of damaging various components. On the flip side if you over torque you can warp the upper with the barrel index pin. The aluminum U shape slot the steel pin fits into will cause it to basically bend or could crack the upper. If the U shape slot goes out of spec due to over doing it on the torque you will " over index " the barrel. That will cause your iron sights to go to the extreme left or right, usually left and will affect co-witnessing.

Ya know I don't think I ever want to be a Sgt. I am okay maybe OIC or Detective.

Dear Chief, Seriously they were jay walking...........lol

I took it out to the range and shot another box of 50 and at 8 yards one big hole no issues and the trigger is smoothing out.
