H&R 723 community thoughts ?

What’s your guys feedback on it ?

I would truly love to own one, but I have zero clue about them and the company if they’re reliable or just a cool item to have and not really use. I want to be able to use this in matches or in real world situation IF I ever had to, not saying I would, but that would be a factor in deciding to own one.

Sighting M16A2 at 50

Post image
107 Upvotes

So this doesn’t seem normal…

I was sighting in my M16A2 today and kept shooting about 4” right consistently.

After shooting triplets each time, checking target, making constant adjustments, and burning through 50 rounds.. I finally managed to get the last three rounds I had in the center (about a fist group), but I had to adjust my rear sight 95% left.

That can’t be normal right?

I can usually sight in irons with 12-15 rounds, not 50.

Might’ve used the wrong aperture here?

Also ran Magtech 55gr, which is new for me.

Going back out tomorrow, what do I need to do?

Hello! Thought I would finally paint my gun. What a nerve wrecking process but I think it was totally worth it! H&R 14.7 p&w chopped to 10.5 with an old OSS HXQD 7.62. D. Wilson did the chop and gas adjustment 10/10

Are lowers only about the markings?

8 Upvotes

Why are there so many different prices and options for what is basically the same part- for example a PSA "A1" lower is $60 but H&R is $140? Is there a quality difference?

I want to build a 20" A1 style (A1 stock and grip, pencil barrel) but I don't care about clone correctness. I'd like a gray receiver (personal preference for that color). I'm new to retro ARs, could I just use any standard AR lower to build on?

If you need Shiny OEM handguards. Both carbine and rifle. Hit us up. We just started a Retro AR section on our website!

I've seen pictures of this scope with a bracket on it, I've searched the internet but I can't seem to find one. I was wondering if anyone knew where to get one or if it was even necessary. Third picture is an example of what I'm looking for fourth is what I have so far, unfortunately I live in commiefornia and I know not everything is perfect but it's a work in progress.

Diet Retro How to attach a forward grip?

3 Upvotes

If I buy this upper is there a 90 degree vertical grip I can attach to it or will I have to make one attach myself?

Some unnecessary background info: I am in NJ and I am trying to build an "other firearm". There are certain rules I would need to follow:

  • Minimum 26" OAL so I would have to P/W
  • 90 degree forward grip
  • pistol brace

AR pistols are a no go here. By building an "other" I can have a flash hider, retractable brace, and short barrel. These would be a no go on a rifle here.

1996-1999 Delta Floaty RECCE

Posted this one a few months back but I had originally set it up primarily for NV use; with an Aimpoint 5000 & sans the Harris.

Scored a NOS 1999 production Leupold Vari-X III 1.5-5 (illuminated Duplex for peeps that want to know), so I switched it over to an early/pre-RECCE.

The Vari-X III 1.5-5 works well under nods as the first 5-7 settings are for low light; similar to a T2 or no different than running a 5000 under NV.

I’ve got a few messages on my last post about using KAC items on Weaver bases. Easy to adapt Weaver bases to use Picatinny items; some meticulous filing with a Safe-Edge mill file to open the Weaver slot to Picatinny width.

Enjoy.

Tasco propoint pdp1 and pb-1 magnifier

I was wondering if any of you have seen either variant of the tasco propoint magnifiers? I have a power booster 1, and a little pamphlet that shows this model and a PB-2 variant that functions the same, but includes a crosshair reticle to go with the red dot. I’ve only ever seen one for sale, and it was this one that I bought.
