Aimpoint
4/20/2012 10:11:10 What? You mean to tell me that if I leave it on all the time(only changing the batteries 2-3 times), my Aimpoint may fail about the time my ACOG gets really dim? Hmmm…. Nothing new there. I do wonder if theirs is rated at an insanely higher lifespan. How would they do that?….. Well you could run a really low draw LED. Lower energy could result in a lower degradation rate (and great battery life). Another way…. I’ll bet one key to the awesome battery life is to use a circuit that blinks the light. If it is blinking with a particular on/off rate, your eyes wouldn’t see it, and it could actually be on only 1/2 to 2/3 (estimates) of the time. Add all this up… Low draw(low wear) + blinking circuit(only on a fraction of the time) =…. well it could equal high battery life and 2 to 3 times the LED lifespan. So where does that put us? Somewhere around 30 to 40 years lifespan and 5-10 battery changes (if you believe all the hype, find a really good battery, and if my theory is somewhat correct). ….and that’s only if you keep it on and change the batteries until the day it fails. It will likely be damaged by a bad battery, lost in a flood or fire, or just be plain outdated before it dies. Skibane

Mesa Tactical
Triple Mag Panel, x2 5.56/.223 Single Mag Pouch, HSGI Blowout Pouch, and a HSGI Mini Modular Radio pouch. Am I going to run into problems fitting all of that onto a plate carrier? You tell me. This is one of the plate carriers with the most MOLLE real-estate: LRB_M1A 5/30/2009 2:12:27 AM Damn…. Doesn’t look like a lot of room… Well maybe I should just hit the gym more so that I can fit into a Mesa Tactical.

Scope Rings
3/17/2012 9:58:12 PM The dremel tool worked great for me, make sure to use the reinforced cutoff wheels(part # 426) not the cheap pack. I was able to cut off my delta ring, front sight post and the bayo lug using just one disc. Tape up the receiver and barrel area around the delta ring, then cover the receiver/barrel with another rag and tape that down so the delta Scope Ring is the only part exposed and cut away. The way I described helps keep any of the metal shaving out of the receiver. I heard some say don’t do this you’ll just scratch your barrel, etc.. but if you take your time it’s really pretty easy to do a good job without any unnecessary damage KY1911
