Bumping.... Anyone doing low light carbine/pistol with S&T in two weeks? I’ll be there

^ What they said. Go ahead and buy the 80% lower and ship it right to your house. Go to PA, drill the holes and its now considered a "firearm." If you want to bring it back to Nj to finish or finish it in PA, you are fine to do so. You dont need a serial number right now but the P80 frames come with a little piece of metal that sits exposed inside the picatinny rail. I believe some people have stamped a number into that if they want it serialized.

Take a look on Snipershide and Arfcom for used scopes. You should be able to find a good deal on there. I don’t have a ton of experience with different brands of scopes so others will have to help you on that. I have a Nightforce ATACR 4-16x and have no problem seeing and hitting at 1000 yards (6.5cm, not 556). Vortex, Leupold, Burris are all good companies that offer quality scopes. Depending on the stock type, the ring height might not matter much. Does your stock have an adjustable cheek piece? As long as you have that, you’ll be able to adjust your head to get a good, consistent cheekweld, regardless of the ring height. Having a low ring height and keeping the scope close to the barrel was born from the “traditional” rifles where the stock sits lower than the barrel, thus your eye line was lower. On the AR platform, that’s no longer an issue. If you want QD mount, Larue is always a solid choice.

Thank you. Thats what I love about these forums

Class was $600 for 2 days. Certainly not cheap, but IMO, worth it. Awesome thanks. I will definitely let you know. I think I may have figured out my problem tho. After the 1st day of shooting to 450, I was messing with my turrets because the hash mark on the turrets wasn't lining up with the indicator line on the scope body. Im think I may have shifted it over a mil when adjusting that cap. That would explain why my numbers started deviating about a mil over expected at 500+. Im headed to R14 on Friday and if my zero isn't correct at 100, Ill know that was my problem.

Just got back from a weekend down in Pelham, TN taking Basic Long Range Precision Rifle with Precision Applications, LLC. Wow. If you guys want to get into this type of shooting, this is a great place to start. The lead instructor, Rob Sheppard, is a ex-Marine scout sniper and now he teaches LEO SWAT snipers, as well as various classes for civilians. He knows his stuff and is great at teaching Number of students: Shep keeps the classes limited to 10 students. We only had 9 which was nice. Rifles: I was shooting my modified Ruger RPR with NF ATACR 4-16x. Two others were shooting AR-10s, and the rest were shooting either Remington 700s or Savage on various stocks/chassis with NF and Vortex scopes. I was the only 6.5CM while everyone else was shooting .308. Day 1: Class began at a little after 830am. The 1st half of the day we spent in the classroom going over everything caliber and scope selection, FFP vs SFP, different types of reticles, zeroing, cold clean bore/ cold fouled bore/ hot fouled bore shots, databooks, measuring the effects of weather, creating range cards, understanding how to range with a reticle, etc... It really laid the foundation for the remainder of the class. The classroom section finished off around 1230 where we broke for lunch. After an hour lunch break, we all gathered at the firing line and checked/ established a 100 yard zero on paper. After everyone was good to go, we broke into two groups and took turns shooting. The 1st 4 people stepped up and they would engage steel targets at 150,200,250, & 300 yards. Shep gave an estimate for elevation adjustments for each distance and then would work with each student until then were smacking that steel. Shep's info was geared towards the .308 so around 400 yards, my 6.5CM was starting to differ with elevation adjustments.The rest of us would watch and could practice spotting on one of his spotting scopes and learn to to track shots and call adjustments. The two relays would swap back and forth until the day ended with each group shooting out to 450 yards. Day 2: Day started at 8am again. We spent some time going over maintenance and cleaning routines, recommended products, etc... Shep kept this relatively quick and got us back out on the firing line. 4 targets were placed down range at varying distances. Each of us had to range the 4 targets using the reticle to within +/- 7 yards. Once we determined a range, Shep would check it and either pass us or makes us do it again if we were off. Once everyone finished, shooting began. Same concept as the previous day. Relay 1 would shoot 500,600, & 700 yards while the rest of us waited. Then switch. The day ended with everyone successfully hitting a 20" gong at 1000 yards. All-in-all great class. I learned a ton and Im looking forward to going back. Ive never shot past 100 yards before but by the end of the weekend, I was drilling 1000 with relative ease once we got the elevation adjustments right. Need to work on my trigger pull a bit more but, other than that, everything went great. Rifle performed great- no problems. The 140g ELD match ammo was very consistent so I was not chasing rounds all over the place. I did notice a discrepancy between my actual elevation adjustment and the projected adjustment by BallisitcArc so I need to figure out whats going on there.( Anyone have a chronograph I could borrow for a day???) Heres Shep's website for more info. Ill post some pictures later tonight when I get home. http://precision-applications.com/

Went out the other day to confirm zero before class next weekend. I think Im set. 140 ELD @ 100 yards Note: The red X's are from me shooting the AR with a T1 at 100 yards unsupported. Those are not from my RPR.

I run grease and oil. If it slides, it gets a touch of grease. If it spins or rotates, it gets oil. Do I have to use grease? No but I have noticed it stays put longer where oil has a tendency to blow off.

That was painful to watch

I’m guessing you are seeing an IR laser

Send me the files, I’ll put a screen shot on instagram and tag senator menendez in it.

Things make it to Hollywood or Hollywood brings it to us?

I sent a really nice email back to him. Left some comments on his instagram posts too

Last week, Giffords, Brady Campaign and Bloomberg filed a suit agaist Cody as well. It was dismissed the next day. Cant wait to see NJ have to pay Cody for this lawsuit haha

Yea I completely forgot to save that brass. I don’t reload and really don’t have the space to get into it here in his apt. I’ll try to remember to hold onto it from now on tho

I hear ya. I’m constanlty going back and forth between parts for my poly80 g19 build, an AR build and stuff for tuning my X5.

After way to long, I finally got to shoot her. Hot and humid day at R14 but it was fun. It took more than I would have liked to get it zero but eventually got there. I had previously looked down the bore and tried to dial the scope so i would at least be on paper but I was shooting high and it took a while to figure that out. Never shot a rifle like this before but I'm happy with the results. I'm definitely the weak link in the system and can tell this rifle will be wayyy more accurate than me. This was the first real group I shot for once I was close to getting it zeroed. Just over 1 MOA @100 yards. Confirmed zero group. Ignore the shots below and to the right of the blue circle. Those were from earlier in the day when I was trying to get the shots on paper. .75" at 100 yards I adjusted the trigger a bit when I got home. With a little more practice, I see no reason I can't get this thing down to under .5 MOA. @Ray Ray @Zeke

Anyone try slides from zaffiri precision? They look pretty nice and the prices look awesome. https://www.zaffiriprecision.com/collections/glock

Im building a Poly80 so this is relevant to my interests. Slides- Ive been looking at L2D Combat and Southwest Precision for their milled slides. I know the slide cuts are just for looks, but I think they look awesome haha. Trigger- Seems like the Apex Trigger kit is the go to. Ive never tried any of the triggers before fyi Barrel- Im between Faxon, Agency and S3F TiN barrels. Sights- Ameriglo Comp- Texas Black Rifle Co

Congrats on the dog! Pics? Heres some training tips I had good luck using with my golden retriever. Its the only dog Ive had so far and he was a breeze to train. We got him as a 8 week puppy and he lived to be 13. He had an accident in the house the very first night and then it never happened again. Super fun, and one of the most laid back dogs Ive interacted with which was great since there were so many little kids on the street that wanted to play with him. Never nipped, barked, or got aggressive. We tried taking him to puppy school but found that was a waste of time. He trained so easily that it wasnt really worth it. Theres no real magic in doing anything. Just takes a little time and patience. It did get him to be social with other dogs which was nice but a bunch of people in our neighborhood got dogs soon after us so that wasnt really needed anymore. -Use treats for good behavior. -When he jumps up, just turn around and ignore him. -If he is pulling on his leash while walking, get one of those metal choker collars. They look cruel but they really arent. They get the dogs attention without hurting them. After my dog tried pulling during walks, he quickly realized it was a bad idea. I seriously got to retire that collar after the 2nd day and we never had the problem again. -For the nipping, our breeder taught us this trick of using your thumb to pin his tongue down to the bottom of his mouth. Dont try to crush his tongue obviously, but firm pressure is fine. The second he starts to whine, let go. Again, our dog stopped the biting pretty quickly after we started doing this. It sounds like your dog is also a puppy still so its nothing he will naturally grow out of as well.

I think it was Roberts. I cant find the article right now but I know Thomas was involved. i thought 2 justices were mentioned and Roberts would have been the only other one that would make sense

Out of the list, I think any of them would help the cause. As Mossburger said, the problem is getting them to hear the case. That said, it takes 4 judges to issue a writ of certiorari. With Kennedy gone, the number gets closer to solidly in our favor. I know Thomas and Roberts have expressed frustration that 2A cases arent heard enough. Im assuming Gorsuch would be apart of that group, so a pro-2A appointee could certainly open up some possibilities.
