Eye Relief Explained

This video offers a practical "PRO-Tip" on rifle scope eye relief, specifically for prone shooting positions. It guides viewers to find their optimal eye position by marking their eye's location while comfortable in the prone stance with their rifle. The instructor emphasizes adjusting scope mounting based on this marked position, noting that higher magnification might require a slightly closer eye relief. The technique aims to improve comfort and reduce neck strain, especially when "locked into the rifle" in the prone position, contrasting it with bench shooting where head movement is less restricted. The video also promotes an upcoming scope series and provides links to Ghost Firearms Training, Tract Optics, and 360 Precision.

This guide details how to zero an LPVO scope, emphasizing a stable prone position and proper eye relief.

This video details the installation of a Geissele MK8 Super Modular Rail on an AR-15. Key steps include using a Geissele Reaction Rod for upper receiver stability, proper torquing of the proprietary barrel nut, and secure installation of the gas block and tube. The rail is then slid on and secured with two cross-bolts using a T-handle hex wrench. Final steps involve muzzle device installation and a thorough inspection.

Proper ammunition storage is crucial for maintaining reliability and safety. Avoid storing ammo in cardboard boxes in damp environments, as this leads to moisture absorption and corrosion. Utilize airtight containers like ammo cans and control humidity with desiccants like silica gel packs. Heat accelerates gunpowder and primer degradation, so store ammo at stable room temperatures. Reloading primers are particularly vulnerable to moisture and require strict airtight storage.

This video demonstrates how to upgrade an AR-15's A2 furniture to Magpul components.
