@@ACFRIUL these are the Cordell combat pants from Tactical Distributors in M90. I don’t think they’re made anymore. ruclips.net/video/AgN36QGUNB8/видео.htmlsi=nb8TTNqQ73yMc86t

​@@AmericanAdlerauge1775 Thank you

@@JohnLin39395 the directions/vortex videos are pretty good. It’s meant to be a parallel zero to your reticle so mine is low left (2mils down). This way it’s always in the same position and doesn’t cross your line of sight at further ranges.

@@AmericanAdlerauge1775 Gotcha, so with it mounted on the left side is it also roughly 1 mil left in addition to 2 mils low?

@ it will vary depending on your set particular configuration. Best practice is to set it parallel at 100 then confirm at a few further distances.

@@DAVIDGRIFFIS-b8d home brewed upper; it is a standard blowback configuration with a mil spec BCM upper, Brownells BCG, and old War Sport barrel

@@jfk767 the majority of this kit is issued in one form or another. If your soldiers are bringing 80lbs for this event they’re doing something wrong. I’d love to hear what they brought/what the actual weights ended up being.

@@AmericanAdlerauge1775 Just by looking at your rifle I can see where some of the weight is. They were using the Mk22 with Storm LRF and it's issue suppressor or the M110 with KAC suppressor. Their issue tripod also weighs about twice what I saw from other competitors. MREs also weigh at least twice what the freeze dried options I saw with most competitors. I could continue but I think you get the point. I just facilitated the opportunity for the state's snipers. Their gear selections were up to them.

@@jfk767 Was your team the group that ended up 16th? Mammoth just shared their post and they definitely were using TA50 which seems odd. There's certain things that work well from CIF like waffles and sleeping bags, but rucks and using the full issued SWS was definitely a respectable choice. The good thing is at least they shot in the top 25% of Mammoth and know what works now from a multiday match that they hump everything except water.

@@JohnLin39395 I'm with the state marksmanship training unit. At lease we call it a unit, really there's just three of us that run the competitive marksmanship program, though we are trying to expand it substantially. That said, neither guard team were my soldiers but both teams were "my soldiers" as I helped set it up. I even provided the ammunition from my own stocks when the state couldn't meet the timeline. The team that ended 16th is from the 1-116th Infantry, the team that ended 50th is from the 193rd Cav. The Cav team hasn't been to sniper school yet, the 115th Inf team has. Both sniper teams had short lead times and didn't have much time to prepare. They weren't required to use their issue gear but I'm glad they did as I believe it provided more lessons learned. We have always referred to the military matches as training disguised as competition because there is always a list of lessons learned in competition. The guys who competed are all in DC supporting the inauguration, mostly directing traffic and helping with logistics, but I hope to get their after action notes and lessons later this week. Hopefully we can continue sending teams to future events. Not only does it support training the soldiers, I think it helps with retaining quality soldiers.

@@jfk767 Awesome to hear. I was one of the Eisenhower teams in the last Mammoth and agree that these competitions are a great way to train and grab lessons learned. I'm interested to see what the sniper qualified team did better compared to the other team. You're one awesome guy to contribute ammo towards the shooters. The base provided ammo for us to shoot, but we provided everything else.

@@iceman11sdm got a bunch of videos on the 6ARC rifle(s). Check out the playlist below: ruclips.net/p/PL1JlPzkIuCusWdX6dd6oryhr1_zLHPEJt&si=jv9AR_mROAuViumt

Correct. You’ll have to change a battery every few years.

Solar is dumb.

@@jbcustom3745 the magwell won’t have any effect on a magazine seating in an AR if the mags are a standard profile. 15rd 6ARC mags are essentially the same size as 20rd 5.56 mags so you’ll have plenty of magazine exposed to push/pull or whatever your technique is.

Lot of building positions with 1 or 2 shots. The second shot really proves if the position was stable or not.

@@TheSafkan it is the old NXS 1-4. I’ve often said I want a good 1-4x in a more compact package more than I’m interested in a better 1-10x or a 1-15x optic. I’ll do an overview of this optic in the future 👍

I'm in 100% agreement. For a 5.56 light rifle 1-4 is all I need within 300m. I really like the 1-8 Atacr but it feels like a dmr/7.62 gas gun optic because of the weight. Do you feel like ffp optics are slower up close? I find sfp more appropriate for anything sub 8x magnification.

@ I don’t think First Focal Plane optics are slower at 1x or at closer distances. The guy who won PCSL Nationals in Practical Division used a Nightforce NX8…as he would say: “skill issue.”

@@Johnoneill1991 this is a homebrew upper; I think any of the JP uppers or the new MAUL are top notch. I thought the JP shot better but that’s a very quick experience shooting them back to back.

PSA 9MM complete upper is awesome. I have the 4” and the 8”.

@ thanks!

@@hansjurgen that’s the TAB Gear A3 Arm Band. I looked hard to find a quarterback sleeve that wasn’t a sleeve. Definitely a better option in the heat but the elastic can become uncomfortable if you have it tight all day
