They'll go under anyway. Give it time.

Willkommen!

In case you're wondering what the Bushnell Trophy 1x32 red dot reticle looks like, here is a picture I snapped of it pointed at a blue sky:

There's so much wrong with that. :cry:

That 9mm is friggin' beautiful!

Winchester FTW!

The majority of AR-15 type rifles suffer from a FTE (failure to extract) issue caused by inadequate extractor spring pressure. To explain: - A round is fired - The bolt slides back and fails to extract the spent casing due to the weak extractor spring issue - The bolt slides forward and attempts to chamber a fresh round while the spent casing is still in barrel - Jam My Bushmaster M4 had this issue and it got pretty annoying as it would jam frequently. Noone likes struggling to clear an ammo jam in their rifle while they're paying for range time. After some internet recon, I picked up an MGI D-Ring extractor upgrade. It's a small "D" shaped ring made of durable plastic that is impervious to heat, cleaning agents and solvents. The ring slips over the extractor spring and increases the extractor's pressure. The install took me all of 2 minutes. My following range session went beautifully and without a single FTE. I'm extremely pleased with this product and highly recommend it to anyone using an AR-15 type rifle. http://www.mgimilitary.com/dring.htm

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen. Hopefully she shoots as sweet as she looks. I'll know Sunday. 8-)

Last night I decided to head to my shop to fix a few things I didn't like about the dovetail and scope rings. After 2 hours of Mickey Mouse'ing it on a milling machine I finally got it all right. The Barska 3-9x40 scope came in today and it mounted up perfectly. This scope is a serious deal for $30 shipped. I'll be sighting the rifle in this weekend at Davis in Goshen, NY. I'm very excited and happy with this rifle. I'm looking forward to picking some more neglected firearms and freshening them up for a second chance. Here are some pictures of the finished product:

I purchased my Bushnell Trophy red dot from Optics Planet on eBay. Very smooth/quick transaction and I love the red dot.

If that's accurate then I'm in trouble. :roll:

Sushi's where it's at! 8-) edit: my 111th post. w00t w00t!

Congrats on your first blackie. Beware of "tactical syndrome" which will begin draining your wallet dry very soon!

My Bushnell red dot does not have a deer in crosshairs symbol anywhere on it. Mine is the 2nd generation red dot. The only markings on it on "Bushnell" on the side and a "B" on the windage adjustment screw cover. I have not used the back up iron sights on top of the scope, yet. I always forget they're there. My red dot crosshair co-witnesses with my original Bushmaster front sight and my GG&G spring-loaded back up in-line sight very nicely. I ordered a GG&G spring-loaded front sight/gas block today because, even though the red dot co-witnesses with my front sight nicely, I find the front sight distracting when trying to focus on only the red dot and target behind it. The new front sight will stay folded down unless my red dot goes down, in which case I press 2 buttons to deploy my front and rear back up sights and I'm back to cookin'. P.S. This Bushnell isn't an ACOG or an Eotech but it's damn good for what it is - a battery powered red dot that's slightly heavy and has no magnification. Mine has worked like a charm and I expect it to be accurate up to 100 yards as soon as it's sighted in properly. I got mine for $160 shipped off eBay from Optics Planet. I'm not an LEO or a soldier, so it's hard for me to justify spending approximately $900 on an optic I'll mostly be using for target shooting and hunting inside 100 yards.

This thread is worthless without pics!!!

I received my scope rings in the mail today and was bummed out with their fit on the barrel. The original dovetail was very poorly milled on the barrel and was too shallow/too uneven to accommodate the new scope rings. My girlfriend's away this weekend so I went back to my shop this evening and luckily I had a dovetail cutter that was perfect for the task. After a little mickey mouse'ing the barrel in a vise until it was fairly level (within .003") I started cutting the fresh dovetails. After I finished and deburred them nicely I slightly modified the scope ring mounting points and gave it a go. Perfect fit and alignment. Now I just have to wait for my el-cheapo Barska 3-9x40 scope to show up so I can start mounting it all up. I have about 7 coats of polyurethane on the stock now. On Monday, I'll give the stock a final wet sand to even it out and apply the final coat of polyurethane and call it a project. Expect pictures of a finished rifle by Tuesday evening. Here are pictures of the work I did tonight: Dovetail: With scope rings mounted:

Post of the year.

Meltzer's had one more brick of CCI Blazer for $24.99 yesterday, in case anyone's interested.

I'm the type of guy that lays it all out on the table asap. That way if she's not into it, you can move right on to the next one and cut your losses.

Awesome pic. I'd love to get a shot me shooting my AR like that.

Here are pics of my woman shooting my Savage .243 bolt last summer up on my hunting property in Greene, NY. She's a bad a$$: Posing with her first shot from 50 yards and my glasses. On the quad. Me taking some shots.

Compliments to the chef! Best to the both of you!
