  1. There you go
  2. Or, you could go with an Aimpoint style optic mounted for lower 1/3 cowitness. An A2 front sight really bugs me with an Eotech, even if it's on a riser for lower 1/3. It doesn't bother me at all with an Aimpoint, because to sight is round, and lower 1/3 puts the A2 out of the way. Note that a lot of folks run with an Eotech and an A2 front sight. It just bugged me enough to get it gone.
  3. The whole reason for a holo sight is getting on the target fast. As long as the dot is on the target, you will hit it. The position of your head doesn't matter. If your irons and holo sight are zeroed at the same distance, the dot will line up. EDIT: Do this test. Put your rifle in a rest, and set the dot on a target. It can be a door knob across the room. Then, move your head around. The dot appears to move, but it doesn't move off the target. I don't know how it works, but it does.
  4. I just replaced my A2 front sight with a YHM flip-up. Front Flip Sight Tower, Standard [YHM-9394] - $102.00 : YHM, Yankee Hill Machine Co., Inc. | Makers of High Quality Firearms, Accessories & Sound Suppressors, Makers of High Quality Firearms, Accessories & Sound Suppressors
  5. Me neither. We agree
  6. The law says you can use deadly force to STOP A THREAT. If you use any other language, then you could easlily wind up in prison, even though you shot them in exactly the same place. It's about intent.
  7. I agree 100%.
  8. Stopping and killing are exactly the same sight picture.
  9. Why? To me, it's just in the way. It doesn't help you aim the rifle.
  10. I object to the TSA because they are friggin' idiots. I wouldn't mind so much, maybe not at all, if they were part of a real security effort. What they really are is a feel good, ad hoc, bunch of former fast food workers that are not only wastiing my time, but doing it with a false sense of superiority because they aren't flipping burgers anymore. I absolutely hate those guys. The Israelis are pros. I figure there's a real reason if they gotta fondle my junk.
  11. THIS is exactly why I have allowed myself to become so heavily armed. You can invade my house, but you're gonna have to work for it
  12. The upper receiver is the only thing left from the original build :-). Maybe the delta ring and buffer tube too. My first one, so it changed a whole bunch :-)
  13. Again... no brand. Generally more expensive than the last. Better stock, and a Daniel Defense Omega rail. Both guns have ER Shaw Light profile, chrome lined barrels. This one has a BattleComp as well. Both rifles have Geissele triggers. I can give you a parts list. Beautiful shooter.
  14. It doesn't have a brand. I can give you a parts list. It has a Noveske QD plate, so the single point attaches right below the buffer tube. To attach a VFG, you would need to add a short rail section to the handguard. The magpul handguard is designed for it, so you just add the rail section and attach the grip. Easy.
  15. Yeah. I ran into some bad luck and had to sell all of mine too. It was fun while it lasted.
  16. The lefty chick's gun. Has an Aimppint on it now...
  17. My favorite...
  18. 458 SOCOM. It has changed since this picture...
  19. There's an RK show coming up. Murfreesboro feb. 4-5
  20. I have been a victim of quite a bit of crime on a business level, and have had the chance to discuss it with a number of good, experienced cops. Yes, we cultivate our criminals these days. Law enforcement has their hands tied in a lot of ways. At this point, it's not a new thing.
  21. Nice little sidestep around the filter
  22. What he said
  23. I'm starting to lean that way. For somebody like Kirk, that always open carries, I sure don't think he should conceal just when he goes in the Starbucks on protest day. He obviously handles it well, or we would have seen him in the news.
  24. Probably not, unless it was a public figure with well known views. Would you kick Sarah Brady out of your establishment? I sure would.
  25. That depends on how many customers may stop going there because THEY are offended by his presence. They may not be idiots at all.
