I have a factory Tikka T1x MTR 20” .22LR and want to add an ARCA rail for bipod use.
Looking at the Area 419 ARCALOCK kits and debating between the 12” and 14” rail kits. However, I am not sure if that is too long.
Any tips?
What is magpul furniture?
And what does this mean “with dealer/ROF (range-optimized/factory-custom) options and finish/packages that vary by retailer.”
I found a black Geissele Super Duty Mod116 inch Complete Upper $1,189 brand new. Good deal or no?
I already run a 10mm pistol for backcountry carry (hiking / woods / “worst case scenario” gun).
I’m debating whether it actually makes sense to add a Springfield XD-M Elite 4.5” in 9mm for EDC, or if I should just simplify things and stick with one platform/caliber.
My thinking:
10mm = dedicated backcountry / woods gun
9mm = lighter recoil, cheaper ammo, higher capacity → better for EDC and training. (I have a lot of 10mm ammo so will train with both)
But part of me is wondering if I should just:
stay with one caliber and buy lighter / weaker 10mm loads for EDC, instead of splitting into 9mm + 10mm
So basically:
Do you guys run both 9mm and 10mm versions of the same platform, or is that redundant?
Or would you just stick with 10mm and tune ammo down for general use?
Curious what people who actually shoot both have settled on.
