AADMOUNT 34mm scope mount
There are a lot of optic mounts on the market for AR15s. Some are quick detach with a promise to return to zero. Some are bolt on with either nuts or allen/torx head bolts to lock them into place. Unless you really need tool less removal I have come to prefer a well done “non…

Jesse James has launched his new line of suppressors with some pretty bold claims. We have offered to test his suppressors with a state of the art DB meter on video and are anxious to hit the range.
