By Jeff Gurwitch December 18, 2018 To be honest, I used to not really have much interest in adjustable gas blocks for DI (Direct Impingement) AR-15s, partly because I’ve been a piston AR guy forever (and almost all piston guns have adjustable gas systems, anyways).

By David Crane October 2, 2018 Well, this one’s interesting. Looks like Nighforce just got the USSOCOM contract for a military-modified variant of the Nightforce ATACR (Advanced TACtical Rifle) 1-8X24 F1 Riflescope, which is a first-focal-plane scope.
