Rijas Services AR-15

[93 FOX]

My major point was 1/2 MOA at 1000 yards. I don't believe there is a rifle in existence that is that accurate. Certainly not a semi. I have a 20" LWRC R.E.P.R.that can't pull that off. The man was full of s--t. A f---ing bolt gun will not group that well. 1/2 MOA at 100 yards is damn fine accuracy.

MOA is roughly 1 inch at 100 yards. A MOA increases at 200 yards to 2 inches. 1 MOA at 100 yards is 1 inch groups, 1 MOA at a 1000 yards is 10 inch groups. So, 1/2 MOA at 1000 yards would be 5 inch groups which is very possible.

At the OKC show today and stopped by the Rijas table. Girl said they manufacture all their weapons. Saw a 308 AR style rifle with an Armalite lower. An older gentleman (I think the owner) guaranteed the gun would shoot 1/2 MOA at 1,000 yards. Told me it would outshoot my Larue OBR. Didn't notice the color of his eyes but they better be brown. He was full of it.

He was talking about 1/2 inch at 1000.

Mark, does your FFL book actually say 1/16" height for the name/city/state info?

The reason I ask is that the actual federal regulation (Title 27, subsection 479.102) only states that the serial number must be 1/16" high and .003" deep. The name/city/state only says "conspicuously placed" and .003" deep. It does not list a height requirement.

You may be right, ATF agents that I spoke to must have assumed that it was 1/16" high because of the height was already given for the serial number. I purchased 2 New Hermes engraving machines and talked to them extensively when I started manufacturing. At first the manufacturer had to change the serial number, which was very hard to do when matching the font of the old serial number, when he added it to his manufacturing book, that all changed about a year ago, now you can keep the original serial number.

Thanks for the info. Are you only engraving stuff you make or do you do engraving for anyone?

I mainly engrave all my manufacturing. I have done some for the public, it takes time to set up the orientation and letters on my machine
