BA 2/23
I have an AR front sight adjustment tool in my shooting bag. You are welcome to use it.

I think I decided
That's one of the reasons I sold my Colt Match Target. My new Rock River Varmint has a straight 24" stainless barrel. It sounds like I'm shooting a 22. Well, not really. But in comparison to a compensated 223 anyway.

Help dealing with recoil-any exercies
Try dry-firing with a penny on the muzzle. If you can pull the trigger, especially in double action mode, and not have the penny fall off the nose of the gun you're doing a good job. I needed to do that on my Ruger Super Blackhawk. I was anticipating the blast from some of my nasty home-brewed 44mag loads.

BA 2/23
I plan on it. Hopefully you'll see me there.

Thanks. I mangled a roll pin trying to "shrink" it a bit to get it to feed into the hole. The diamond file worked really well and was like $6 from Harbor Freight.

BA 2/19
I'm thinking about heading over to shoot my AR. I'll be there by 8pm. Anybody stopping by tonight?

My DPMS lower parts kit was good except for the trigger guard roll pin and bolt release roll pin. I had to use diamond files to open up the holes sufficiently to get the pins in.

Cabela's executive says Xanadu opening 'hightly unlikely'
You funny. If you think either of those organizations will lose a penny over this, I've got some ocean view land to sell you in Sussex county. I truly hope that they are not insulated from their bad decisions. How many bailouts of billionaires are we supposed to foot the bill for?

I just checked out that website, and I must say either they ripped off Rock River Arms' page design or vice versa. Check out RRA for comparison http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm? ... ory_id=228

Sighting in a red dot relfex
I agree with Mark. I have my Spike Tactical ST-22 sighted in for 25 yards at the moment because I get to shoot indoors more than out. You won't go wrong at 50 either. I would sight it for 50yards if you do a lot of outdoors shooting. I will be at BA next week, and I have a laser boresighter in 223. I know that it wouldn't fully chamber on your gun (or my ST-22 for that matter) because of the difference in case size, but you could pull out the BCG and put the boresight into the bore partways. It would give you a pretty good indication of where you should be sighting to. After that, you can just use BA's shooting bag front rest and finish sighting by hand.

Will any range in NJ allow this stuff? It looks like fun!
It is called Tannerite. It's supposedly legal in 50 states. I can't imagine any clubs allowing it though. https://www.tannerite.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannerite Here are some vids: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... type=&aq=f

Any real difference in lower parts kits?
To me the lower doesn't make a difference. I just like a tight fit between the upper and lower. I had a DPMS kit and had minimal issues with it. The roll pins did not want to go into their slots, but a little filing fixed that. I did throw in the Accuwedge to improve the fit between my Spikes Tactical upper and lower. The biggest thing about the lower is the trigger. I have a Rock River Varmint rifle now and I will say that no Accuwedge is required. That thing is nice and tight.

Brick Armory Shoot Night is Back to Tuesdays
Sorry I missed it guys. I called SS just before I was going to leave and they told me NICS was down. I wanted to pick up my CZ 75B Compact and Beretta Storm. I figure I'll try tonight or tomorrow.

Opinions Wanted
I'm looking forward to seeing it at range 14 one of these days.

Phil is a really good guy. He is the RO who filled out my CMP paperwork to get my Garand.

Brick Armory Shoot Night is Back to Tuesdays
Not Wednesdays any more. I was ignorant of this until this afternoon and figured I'd spread the word. I'm dropping by tonight around 7:30pm. See you there, I hope.

$10.99 - 9mm, $14.99 40 S&W, $5 shipping Expires 2-16-10
I have had problems getting them to send primers but not ammo. The fact that the order is in the system measn that it will work. I always got blocked at the final order page when trying to get those primers.

Thanks Maks. 9mm is the one caliber that the reloading savings is marginal for. I just ordered a bunch from Cabelas. Now I can spend my time brewing up some hot 357 handloads instead.

Shore shot
Another vote here for the guys at Shore Shot (Hodgie, you left out Andy). I have bought or transferred nearly all my guns through them and they have always treated me right. I also think the facilities have improved 100% since I started going there.

Kriss Vector...
We could include those too, and if anyone has the AR chambered in 9mm. Definitly at the the shotgun meet-up this spring, we could bring all these bad boys and do a full review. Don't forget the mechtech. That is a cool carbine. http://www.mechtechsys.com/

It really depends what you want it for. If you are trying to shoot paper at 25yards, I think the regular iron sights version is better. If you are just out fun shooting outdoors, the ghost ring rocks. I bought a cheap red dot sight and I think I'm getting the best of both worlds. I know the regular sight versions are easier to find on GunBroker and the like. If Ruger would make that gun again and market it to the public (maybe even make it compatible with Glock mags), I swear it would be a huge seller. I have several people on this forum asking me to sell it to them if I ever get rid of it.
