    Hell, my $20 amazon specials have held up for 2000 rounds, held a zero too! Lol.
    Oh yeah, no doubt.
    In other gun news, I should be getting one of my uppers back from the body shop with a fresh coat of paint. 'Cause customizin the rifle is almost as fun as using it. Might have found a new love with a remora holster, still in the test phase though, not sold out yet.

    Shot a couple weapons on the range with some family and friends and blew some things up. Shot couple pistols; glocks, sig sauer, 22 rifles, 308 Remington, PS90, and the SCAR 17. Great day.

    That's gotta be. My buddy has put well over 1k in rounds through his BO both super/subs and they are still working fine!

    Magpul is a stand up company. They will make good on this.

    I have no doubt... just kind of annoying that I spend $70 on a sight, and have to send it back after literally 2 minutes of use.

    Loaded up a bunch of 208 AMAX for my blackout build. Also worked up some loads for 220gr noslers. Hold crap they are a long bullet! Loaded out to 2.26(mag length). All subsonic loading.

    Used Accurate1680 started at 12.0gr and worked down to 11.0gr per noslers reloading manual. Will post findings when I get out to shoot them.

    Took my Glock 19 and P226 for a test run yesterday. The glock was phenomenal, except the sights were slightly off, and has been corrected. The P226 failed because I cut one too many coils off the hammer spring, so I've been getting light primer strikes. Has been corrected, hopefully consistently. One of the grip screws broke, so I'm replacing them all tomorrow.

    Also shot VP9, P226 Scorpion, STI Duty One 9mm and a 44 mag. Didn't see the manufacturer but it was incredibly powerful.

    I removed all the sticky polyurethane that would not cure on my AK stock and applied 3 coats of Formby’s Tung Oil Finish. I know that it’s not 100% Tung oil but the results thus far are pretty good. I may add a few more coats to further improve the finish.
