Primary Arms ACSS Broken Down Barney Style by MrGunsNGear
Primary Arms hit the jackpot when they created the ACSS. With their less expensive optics, it has proven to be a rock-star in the optics world and is so good that Trijicon themselves have picked up the reticle for inclusion in ACOGs – a move that I believe speaks volumes about the technical innovation of […]

Unfortunately, this combination can sometimes have disastrous results. The solution to introducing […]
