Dear WLS
- Sean M – I’ve got a PTR91 setup as somewhat of a DMR with a Magpul PRS stock and a Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10. I’m thinking of dumping the 2nd focal plane lpvo, what suggestions would you have for a different optic for that concept? Otherwise, what would you guys do for a “modern battle rifle” setup? Optics, furniture, etc? Cheers, Sean M No notes And 171 for life
- Nick D – I have a Mitchell shorty DOC with the mloc guard. I want to get a Midwest suppressor hand guard and a dead air can for it so I can have more rail space. Would this be a good set up? Any other suggestions? I have a heat wrap on the rail now and it takes up almost the entire rail. Help
- Alex S – I recently picked up an older Rem700 in 7mm Rem Mag. Been shooting my .308 out to distance (~550yds) but wanted to go further so i picked this up on a deal. I posted on DangFree about my new scope(Strike Eagle 5-25 FFP) and got a lot of great help there. My question for you today is about the barrel. It is the standard thinner profile barrel and heats up quick after my first few rounds. Is it worth swapping the barrel out to a bull? Should i leave this rifle as-is and invest in a new platform? Any other suggestions? Thanks for your abuse in advance! Wls4life
- Ragequit from Twitch – Hola everybody, looking into some defensive pistol/ar training and I’m having a hard time trying to figure out what is worth the time and money. I have seen everything from basic pistol courses where it appears they are indoors at a range to courses that are defensive/competition style classes. And when looking into defensive ar courses it runs the gamut from just getting into ar’s to having “professional” training for wet work. What do I look for when trying to decipher the description of classes? I am located near the PA/MD/VA area so for the most part that is not a bad drive for most training if there is a recommendation for classes. What should I look for and what “descriptions “ should I steer away from. I appreciate any help, one of the watchers from twitch
- Ryan W – I have a registered SBR and recently moved to a new city. (It’s an actual SBR with a stock, not a braced pistol, I am not one of those guys.) I read on the ATF website that a change of address form could be submitted after a move, as long as I am not crossing state lines. However, I have also read that the ATF is no longer requiring a change of address form at all, as long as the new address is in the same state. Do you know if this is true? Also, how long do you have after a move to notify the ATF? Thank you for the help…hopefully
- Mike H – Throwing an update since I already decided on my optic I was asking about earlier, found a great deal on a Sig Sierra3BDX 4.5-14×44 scope and picked up a rangefinder to go with, the scope was only $300
- Nick F – odd question but have any of the cast looked into the “no new cemetery ” conspiracy? I’ve found that some cemeteries practice the 50/100 year rule. apparently you don’t own your plot forever…..
- Daniel A – What would you choose to defend yourself FN HP 9mm older model or a DB9 gen4? And is the older FN HP better than the new ones?
