I am personally looking at the Vortex PST 6-24 Vortex Optics - Viper PST Riflescopes and the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 5.5-22X56 NXS? Riflescope | Nightforce Optics, Inc. I've heard awesome things about both and I know the Vortex warranty is unbeatable. I'll probably purchase mine in the next...

Thanks all. You were all very helpful and I ended up getting it back together. I put about 120 rounds through it with cheap bulk ammo that some guy bought in 50 gallon drums and my bolt is now disgusting. The gun works though! yahoo! Now to focus on purchasing optics! $$$$$$$$$:(

Cool, thanks guys! I knew the experts here would know! BTW, off topic, I highly recommend AGAINST using bulk ammo that was purchased in a 55 gallon drum... I bought some and I've been trying to clean the junk caked onto my bolt for a couple days. I just bought some actual solvent which should...

I bought the +Grip from Magpul and it's really nice. I love the rubber on it. I mounted it on my M&P 10 and the beaver tail area has a significant gap. I read some other posts and others have had the same experience. For anyone who is more knowledgeable than me (all of you), is this gap going...

Thanks for the wisdom. All the pictures show AR 15 cam pins with the holes drilled on the sides where the top of the pin is flat. I'll just leave it as you say, I trust you. Thanks~!

It fell and I found it. For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to drink vodka and clean my rifle. WRONG!

The hole on my cam pin is on the rounded edge

Yup, my cam pin hole is drilled incorrectly.

hmmm my pin faces the wrong way... the hole drilled wrong/? I TURNED THE pin and then the firing pin seated... its 90 turned the wrong way it seems though

I'm pretty sure I have the extractor om the correct side.... If' im a complete retard and dont know my left from right yet please let me know but this looks correct... even so, iI dont thin that the way the bolt is placed would matetr on if the firing pin would seat correctly.... its's symetrical

Dude. What the heck?! How far out were you shooting? 10 feet? I'll be taking my M&P 10 out tomorrow for the first time with iron sights and I bet from 2 feet I don't get get grouping like that. haha Nice shootin tex! I'm jealous. I have a feeling if there's a zombie apoc, I'll be eaten.

Okay, now that I got your attention and got you into my thread.... I need your help! YOU are smarter than me hah I'm taking my brand new M&P 10 to the range tomorrow and I thought I'd take it apart to learn the parts as well as clean and lube it. The problem is I can't get the firing pin back...

Your understanding is the same as mine. People do not own AR10's or AR15's unless they have an Armalite. I understand that Armalite has the patent for these and you cannot officially call another brand an AR10 or AR15. The M&P 10 is very similar to the AR10 as far as sizes and how it's...

Nope, it only came with the 20 round mag. A local gun store was able to sell me PARTS for a 20 round mag. It took me 5 seconds to make a 20 round Pmag.... Drop a spring inside the plastic case and put a cover on, boom done. Democrats are soooooooooooo stupid. I'm heading up to Jensen Arms this...

Bass Pro Shop and CO suck!!!!!!!!!!!!! They took my magazine away because it's 20 rounds! $50 says the douche bag behind the counter just kept it for himself.... I hate democrats!
