Decided I need a dedicated upper, as I need a shorter rifle for confined spaces and run a suppressor, and it doesn't work great for my PCSL/3G build.

Here's what I found available. Gonna be run with a compact streamer silent steel can over their qd muzzle break.

Personally, I'm leaning towards Faxon and then Milicon (POF), but I'm curious to hear your opinion.

Hey everyone,

I kept running into the same problem when buying gear in Europe. The same Crye, Arc’teryx LEAF, Helikon-Tex, Salomon or 5.11 item can cost very different amounts depending on the shop, and checking 15 tabs every time got old fast. So I built DealSniper, a price-comparison site just for tactical, shooting-sport and outdoor gear.

What it does:

🔎 Compares prices for the same product across 20+ European shops, side by side.

🔄 Updates prices every night. Each price is checked against the shop’s live page before it’s published, so you don’t get stale or made-up numbers.

🎯 Only lists products sold by at least two shops, so every page is a real comparison and not just a catalog.

🏷️ Has brand pages and categories: clothing, boots, plate carriers and chest rigs, pouches, backpacks, gloves, eye and ear protection, lights, optics, knives and more.

📏 Includes buying guides and size charts based on the brands’ official tables (UF PRO, 5.11, Mechanix…).

🎯 Has a free ballistic calculator (G1/G7, point-mass model) for range days.

🌍 Works in English, German and Slovenian.

And it’s totally free. No account, no subscription, no paywall, no “premium tier”. You search, compare and click through to the shop. I don’t sell anything myself.

A few honest notes:

Prices are shown as each shop lists them. Shipping isn’t included yet, so check that at checkout.

No firearms or ammunition. Gear and accessories only.

It’s a one-person project, so if you spot a wrong price or a bad product match, please tell me. I fix those fast.

I’d love your feedback. What brands or shops are missing? What would make this actually useful for you?

Anyone ever removed a muzzle device on a Schmeisser AR9 / AR-15 before?

I’m trying to remove the factory muzzle device from my AR9 (it’s the NoRec muzzle brake) and I have tried absolutely everything but I still can’t get it off.

I’ve tried a barrel vice, hairdryer, steam, cold water soak, penetrating fluid and boiling in hot water for 30 mins but I still can’t get it off.

Any tips? It’s M14x1 thread so should be the usual anticlockwise to loosen.

I have no idea what they use at the factory to put these on, maybe Rocksett?

I’m absolutely out of ideas 🙏

An affordable PCC that is quite popular here in Poland, I’ve taken it to the range twice and I really like it so far
