30mm from AR it is: Falcon Menace 44mm will go on it.



Definitely call. I called a just over a week ago, they told me it would be MAYBE a 2 or 3 week lead time and then called me back 4 6 days later and said they were on their way....

Armalite rules man... Give em a call and don't forget to mention you are "one of us"... :thumbs:

However, I have some questions about it:

1.) On the ArmaLite site the TNF is only listed under the 10B section-does that mean it only can use the ArmaLite mags?Yes, but you have more options on magazine capacities.

.


OK, found the mag. selection and have a goofy question: which capacity is preferred, and why? I see a large selection, as noted. Increments of 5-25 rounders....?

There is no right answer. That said, the five or ten round are most useful for the range. Also, they won't high center a stadard bench rest on the magazine. Twenty round is standard as a compromise between capacity and weight. I have two 25 rounders, which I figure the current best use is to let my son shoot up a whole bunch of dated military surplus so I can use the brass for reloading. At current prices that is almost $25 a magazine! Personally I see that as least useful of any size, but that is just my opinion.

1: STEEL, not Aluminum. Now this means the product is heaver but STRONGER.
2: Workmanship and Quality is great. Great coating and good mill work.
3: Repeatable performance. I have a process when it comes to scope mounting and it starts with the base. I lap the rings,center and profile the base, and TQ everything w/Thread lock. Now as a test I did nothing to my first base but mount and zero. Now the scope was set to 0 and 0. 13 mills left and 10 mills up for elevation and zero.


Got a tutorial/link on lapping? Just a guess here: a steel tube, some 1500 grit, and some oil?

I loaded my 25 round Armalite mag and weighted it and it was 5 pounds. That makes the 10 round mag a keeper.

Get one of those tripod mounts like Colt, and you could shoot all day!
