My new AR.

Recommended Posts

Congrats. At least 223 is starting to free up. You won't have to sell more than 1 organ to shoot your new gun. :)

Planning on using it in 3 gun? That always looked like a lot of fun.

Not sure on shooting 3 gun this year. I'm still learning and working on good trigger control for my handguns. Tis beauty was sitting on the shelf last month went I stopped in for 9mm. I figured it was fate and jumped on buying it.

 

With some luck I'll hit up HeritAge in Easton tomorrow to try and get the site all set.

 

And thankst to everyone with the kinds words. I'm stoked about getting it.

 

Next up is a Decent optic

Since it's your first AR, I am guessing you are either new or at least rusty in using iron sights. My first step would be to try and get REALLY GOOD with those irons. I take my AR out once a month at most, and can hit an 18" x24" silhouette target at 240 yards at Central Jersey with regular AR iron sights. Someone who actually trains can do a lot better than that. Throw a red dot on once you have the confidence that you can hit anything you want without it. In that case the red dot is just for speed, not acting as a crutch. And if it ever shits the bed, it won't take you out with it.

Consider making your next purchase a good trigger (if the rifle came with a milspec one). A nice Geissele or Wilson Combat, ALG, etc trigger will go a long way towards making you a better shooter. Even good shooters have a tough time with a sloppy standard GI trigger. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips with the sites. I'll definitely look into setting up some time to practice with just the irons.

 

As for a trigger job, this already has the Gisselle tigger....

So you are most of the way there. It makes sense that a 3 Gun AR would have a nice trigger.

    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
