We’ve been tasked with giving them away. Watch for the special posts on Facebook and Instagram to get a chance to win some of the awesome products made by Otis Technology. We’ll give away a complete MSR Cleaning kit in either 5.56 or 7.62 in the middle of each month up until Christmas, when we’ll give away a complete Otis Technology Elite Cleaning System to one lucky listener. During the alternating weeks, we’ll be giving away a host of Otis tools and cleaning supplies. Feedback: Myles: Hello, it has really been too long since I sent in a message. Oh, before I get going I wanted to thank you for your recent interviews with the factory reps from FN and Faxon. I have been curious about the Faxon arak for years as it looks like it resolves most of my issues with the AR design. I hope to get an arak 31 not long after they become available. Especially if they decide to make their rail in Mlok (hint hint). On to the meat of the matter. This fellow Jeremy wants an AR in 7.65x54 rimmed, Russian? Well I am afraid he is out of luck. The closest such animals that I know of are the Noreen bad news rifles in 2006. Here is a crappy pic of me and muh beard holding one in 338 Lapua at the local Cabelas. And this little number which I think is only available in Europe. http://www.luvo.cz/products/rifles/LA-11-200.html If one wants an autoloader in this caliber I think your only options are to get a used Romanian PSL or a Molot vepr. Both are pretty uncommon. Oh and for future episode subject matter may I suggest having a look at the sig mcx. Or perhaps a look at the new rifles by American defense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By5HAFE5ILU Chad: Reed, for putting in the front pivot pin, I use a 1/4" clevis pin that you can get from the hardware store for a couple bucks. It works just like the tool from brownells. Rusty F: Guys thanks for your podcast and thank you to Brownells for sponsoring it. I listen via the Stitcher radio app on my Android One tip I thought I'd pass along for anybody doing home gunsmith work. Go to a local store that sells second hand sporting goods and pick up a couple of hockey pucks.
