Great video for newcomers to the AR world. Thanks!
Thank you Matthew McConaughey
All I came to learn was how close to the charging handle the eye-bell should end up. You didn't tell me. 🙁
Know what would have been a great idea? Maybe check your eye relief befor you level it.
Shouldn't you put the scope on a flat surface ( level surface before to make sure) then put the scope on said surface and check turret. I say this because I have heard of scopes can change level depending where the turret is turned.
So.. Forward backward placement?
I know this is a scope video but I am looking at a lower and an upper build will I be able to run promags and magpul pmags?
Great video sir. Do you prefer to add blue loctite to the screws on top? Appreciate your feedback.
Now let's see a video on zeroing a rifle.
We did a video of mounting iron sights on our PAS AR 15, #youtube gave us a strike… Hope you do not get any…….
Great Video.
Can we get 5.7 rock lowers with ambi slide releases? I'd ask this for the dagger lowers aswell! Why do we not have this standard on PSA lowers?
But where is the 570???????????
308 Jakl in my safe 😉
Any tips for folks who do not have a vice? Bipod and bag work?
step one -with left hand hold scope in the position you want it mounted in.
step two – pick up nail gun……..
Wild this video comes out the day after my scope I ordered from you guys arrives lol
Keep bringing this kind of content! 👊
talk about timing…today i was mounting my PA scope on my AR.. lol perfect timing.. i also use that real avid scope light install kit too. using mutliple levels, and the optic light.. makes ya feel good about the install. great video Thanx PSA !
Got a Sig LPVO about 2 weeks ago, havent opened it yet, is it worth buying the tools like the vice just to do this once? I dont see myself mounting any scopes in the future after this so Im not sure if i should bother buying all the tools
MM77 Approved 👍🏼 👍🏼…………………………………………………. I just wanted to say I picked up some of the Jakl stickers when checked out in Myrtle Beach Saturday. I was almost as happy to get the stickers as I was getting the ammo that I had been looking for! LOL
That’s why I like to just buy an EO Tech Lol.
Not a big deal Its inside to out on linear or square objects when tightening. Not Outside to inside fasteners.
If their was an o ring or more malleable material youd notice bunching and rippling in the material..
Any news on a x39mm Vuk? I SBRed a 10.5" KS-47 but want that long-stroke piston goodness w/ AR controls…
