I have one of the xps Eotechs on my 9mm SMG and it has been good to go so far. I haven’t put it through hell yet, so I’m not sure if I can recommend it until that has been done. Now with the introduction of the Aimpoint PRO at a lesser price than the XPS it makes the decision even tougher. Whiskey Tang Foxtrot, Rick. God Damn man 34ID needs this info now, not yesterday. You need to run the sight through hell ASAP.

Remington 870 Stocks

Thanks Call Brady at SWFA.com, it is a good place to start as they will price match and or beat the best deal you can find. Bottom line is you should NOT pay over $1000 from a dealer for a NEW TA31RCO-M4. Mine was $992 delivered and was the latest version with external adjusters like originaly used on the RCO-M150 . Be sure to ask where ever you get one to be sure ti is the latest build with external adjusters. This. Just ordered a TA31F, and the price was right. With the price match, it was several hundred less than the SWFA website listed. Groats5/10/2011 6:30:40 PM HunterKiller86: I just bought an Trijicon ACOG at a VERY good price so I will pass along the goof info. Most sites will place the 3.5x ACOGs at around $1260. But botach tactical lists them for $1049. I havnt heard good things from that vendor and have tried to figure out why they sell the scope at such a low price. Well I went to SWFA and saw they have a 110% price guarantee. I submitted the price match request, and sure enough they matched it. I got the TA11E for around $250 off what SWFA lists them for! I can bet the money I saved its the best price for a brand new Trijicon ACOG from a reputable vendor. That’s interesting, I tried to do the pricematch for a TA-33H and got the reply that Botach is not authorized by Trijicon to sell their products. This was just several days ago. TheMercenary5/15/2011 2:31:44 PM I just submitted my price match form for a TA01 I found it at Cals Sporting Armory for $778 IIRC, I will call Brady Monday and let you know how it goes.

I cleaned it out and put new Surefire Batteries in and worked fine. I went to get my 557 put on my sbr today and the same thing had happened however when I went to replace my Surefire Batteries and would not work. I called eotech an they Asked if one of the battery connections was black. I replied yes they said I have to pay 60 bucks and they will fix it. ( note they warranty any products that have been purchased within the past two years mine was manf in2004) So my question is have you guys had your Surefire Batteries do this in your eotechs? I have ha two and both have done this do I just have bad luck? Both guns ran duracel batteries

I’ve switched to Ray-O-Vac Hybrids and Ni-Mh rechargeables. No problems in two years. You can clean corroded contacts with white vinegar.

The EOTech XPS2 is what it was specifically designed for. Policetacteam Nov 2005 USA IA, USA 948 : 0-0-0 : Today 4:50:17 : Today 4:50:58 by Policetacteam] Without sounding too negative why would you spend a ton of money on a mount that almost completely obstructs your sight picture. In addition, if that is what you really want…just buy a Yankee Hill MachineEOTech riser (typically $36.00) and add your own folding or fixed rear sight. You will save a ton of money and by adding a folding rear sight instead of the fixed you now have a clear, unobstructed sight picture which allows for faster target acquisition! The 512 and the XPS would work on that riser as well. Cheaper and better!! Dashterry

There are recently imported Yugo’s out there for around $279. Knowing how cheap they used to be I balk at the price but I’ve never heard anything bad about them.

ETA: Just found VG Yugo 59/66s at Samco for $259 and Excellent for $299. SOG may have some on their site, I don’t have time to look right now.

I’ve had 3 different SKS’s. A type 56 Norinco, a 59/66 Yugo, and a type 45 Russian (Tula). The only one worth anything was the Russian. I sold the other 2 and kept the “52 Tula. Russian SKS’s are in the $450 – $600 range here in SW Florida. At the last fun show, July ????, a guy had a ’54 Tula for $450 that was pretty nice.
My Russian goes bang every time. It’s reliable and accurate. Save your money and get a Russian. You won’t be sorry.

The Yugo 56/66 model is ok and right now Cabelas has a bunch on sale for $199.00, but I have never been a fan of them. Now if you can score a Yugo 59, they are sweet shooters but may cost you a little more. The Russian and Romanian I think are some of the nicest out there and I just put a Russian on layaway for $319, which is a decent price, but not great. I bought it to replace my other Russian that has a mismatched mag/floorplate.

Typical russians in the midwest are going in the $400 range with Romainians in the high 3′s.

Check the equipment exchange often for deals as Christmas is coming and people will start unloading some stuff.

I had a hell of a time with mine, until I got all of the gunk out of the gas system.

After that, NOTHING stops it. It’s also reasonably accurate, for what it is. I’m perfectly happy with it.

While I’d love to buy more at prices from several years back, $250-300 is still a pretty good deal for what you’re getting. A reliable, 10 round, semi-auto rifle that is built like a tank.

I was thinking we could have one that was dedicated to the SKS. I bought (layaway) a Yugo SKS Rifle Stocks today, I paid $251 (is that a good price?) total. It has the flip up grenade sight, and long muzzle device. Stock was dark (possibly dirty?), all numbers matched (don’t know if that’s a big deal?) and the pad on the butt plate was intact. I don’t know much about the SKS, but I’m betting someone here does. I’ll post up some pics of it next week.

SKS are good simple reliable rifles, hard to beat.
Order up some spam cans of ammo on stripper clips.
The stippers are resuable, and make loading fast.

Price, not bad these days, when SKS’s first started to get imported many years ago they where around $75 – $100 wholesell. Ammo was about that same price for 1100 on stippers and 1500 loose.
Should have put away a case of the russian ones. I like the looks of the older Russian ones, they are listed as C & R’s nowadays.

Its been reported, but I’m not sure if 100% fact, that China imported more SKS’s in a 3-5 year span then the entire production of Win. Model 94′s.

im not saying your wrong (seriously i’m not)
but i definitly re buying 2 crates of sks’s in 94 (pretty sure it was 94) for a grand total of about 45 dollars a rifle
couldn’t tell you what kind they were, i was all of about 16 and my “cousin” was 18, and at the time it seemed like an awesome idea.

as teenagers coming out of the cold war era we had a serious survivor mentality for some reason, so the crates and ammo we picked up with em went into a “cache” for a lack of a better word. where we “lived” at the time, that kind of stuff didn’t really raise any eyebrows. They guy we bought em from was a serious, old school, country, kitchen table ffl, who had crates and crates of stuff in his garage.

which reminds me, i should prolly go retrieve them from their current location before that property gets sold.

hadn’t even thought about those rifles in years.

In ’94, they were probably Chinese.

That’s about the time they were as common as most anything else in the local stores.

I should have bought more and I should have held on the the ones I bought. Have one Yugo now.

Oh yes, the Norinco SKS. I have both the rifle and carbine version. Great shooters and neither have ever failed to go bang. Back in the early 90′s you could get a rifle and 1,000 rounds for under $150 IIRC. Now I see them selling for $300+.

i dont even know what version they are,

all we knew was they were 40$ a rifle in crates of 10 with all kinds of cool shit, and the ammo was cheap as hell. Since we “put them down” we havent even touched the spot where they are, out of sight out of mind and all,

i think we pretty much verified that they were all real rifles, and then we set em up for loooooong term storage.

that old guy was cool as hell, he always had all kinds of crap, i think he went to alot of auctions at the ng base nearby.

we ended up with all kinds of cool stuff everytime we swung by

i’ll be the first to admit that my childhood was kind of different than most other folks, had alot of slightly unhinged vets as role models, who thought that kids should know everything they had to teach about what they learned in the service.

and the local neighbors (ie on the bounds of our acerage) were pretty much all serious survivalists, learned alooooot

and alot of what i learned has paid huge dividends in my military carrer
