Darley GRF Expo – B5 Systems
Thursday, March 21st, 2013Be Prepared, Indeed
Friday, March 15th, 2013Two things we are fans of at SSD are guns and Scouts. It’s even better when we can put the two together like in this story.
A young man who just became an Eagle Scout received this rifle as a gift from his father. Best of all, “in front of everyone, the first thing he did was to open the bolt and clear the rifle before really looking it over. He had a smile from ear to ear.” his father stated. According to Cerakote, this carbine features H-226 Patriot Brown, H-235 Coyote Tan and H-199 Desert Sand.

The M16A1 Rifle: Operation and Preventive Maintenance
Monday, March 11th, 2013
Many of you may remember the old US Army produced PS Magazine which featured comic book-style illustrations from Will Eisner among others. PS Magazine centers on maintenance and in 1969 the Army released “The M16A1 Rifle: Operation and Preventive Maintenance” which contained chapters such as “How to Strip Your Baby,” “What to Do in a Jam,” “Sweet 16,” and “All the Way with Négligé.” It was an Army full of conscripts and the style seemed like an excellent way to teach small arms maintenance concepts for the newly issued M16 to the troops. While the original version was soft cover like comics, this newly printed version is hardcover. I picked up a copy the other day at Barnes and Noble but it is also available through Amazon. This is a must have for every black rifle enthusiast.

Let’s Rename Magazines
Tuesday, February 26th, 2013The other day I was joking around with some friends about how standard 30 round magazines somehow became evil “High Capacity Magazines” so I came up with this new naming convention to put the discussion back on track. But, I bet you guys can come up with even better names. So have at it and enjoy.
Redback One Zeroing Standards
Sunday, February 24th, 2013Redback One has posted the zeroing standards from their Carbine Operator’s manual. Redback One is a wealth of knowledge so keep up with their latest posts on www.RedbackOne.com.
M4 Iron Sights
To adjust elevation using the factory M4 iron sights, rotate the front sight using a sight adjustment tool, multi tool or the tip of a bullet. To bring the point of impact up, follow the arrow markings on the front sight base. Up will be clock-wise and down counter clock-wise. Each indent or click on the front sight will move the Point Of Impact or (POI) by 1-inch at 100-meters.
To adjust windage using the factory rear A2 sight, follow the arrow markings on the right side of the windage knob. To move the POI to the right, turn the knob clockwise. To move the POI to the left rotate the knob counter clock-wise. Each click of the windage knob will move the POI ½ an inch at 100-meters.
Moving the Group
Following the manufacturers guide will give the shooter the best results when making adjustments to the sight during the zeroing process. The shooter must determine the center of the group or, the Mean Point of Impact or (MPI) before making any adjustments to the sight. The pattern formed after firing is known as the group. The center of the group is known as the Mean Point of Impact. If after firing the first three round group it is determined that the MPI is a long way from the desired zero point, the shooter should make bold adjustments, using the manufacturers guide to move the group in the general direction of the zero point. Once the shooter is in the vicinity of the zero point, he can then use fewer click adjustments to make fine movements of the group until the correct zero is achieved. Remember, the value of the click will be reduced by ¾ when zeroing from 25-meters. Therefore, if the value of each click is 1-inch of movement at 100-meters, the value of the same click will be ¾ less or ¼ of an inch at 25-meters.
