Tactical Monkey

I have an Aimpoint CompM4 that I greatly enjoy at close range (<50 yds), and even out to 100 yds. You can use the adjustable brightness settings to make the dot appear smaller for the longer range shots, which is quickly done by spinning the dial with the support hand. I also have an Acog - which remains the cleanest glass that I own. I have the TA01-NSN, but is not BAC compatible. It has a drawback at "bad breath" distance, and anything less then 20 yds or so. The 4x magnification can make it more difficult to find your target at that range then a red dot sight would. I have never shot an EoTech, but have looked through a number of them. I have an astigmatism is both eyes, and when looking through an EoTech the circle looks like it's slightly twisting around (harder to explain then I thought it would be). With the Aimpoint, the single dot makes a clearer sight picture, which is why its on my beat 'em up carbine :twisted: Hope this helps

Second for Slip 2000. It works fantastic on an AR15

Yes, Yes, and Yes. Depending on where you are will determine the length of time it takes to get back a pistol permit. Just like your FID card.

This is a re-post from the previous thread on this subject, but it contributes I think: A similar event happened to me a few months back. Long post, sorry, and also a false alarm. 2:45AM - Alarm goes off. As a side note: when the alarm was installed, I specifically asked for the bullhorn and other noise producing devices to be on the lower level of the house. That way, it's still loud enough to easily wake me up, but it's blaring loud downstairs (for the potential intruder to deal with), but not right in my ear. It still lets me hear something/someone coming up the stairs. So I pop out of bed, arm myself, and quickly check to see which zone went off: Basement Window It's just the wife and I, so she's dialing 911 and I park myself at the corner to the staircase. No need to clear the house, or even go downstairs. If they want to take all my personal possessions, that's fine with me, I have insurance. If they try and come upstairs, different story. And God forbid a body is found lying on the stairs when the cops arrive, at least it will collaborate my story that the intruder was coming up stairs with intent on bodily harm. 2:49AM Cops come screeching down the street, I disable the alarm so the noise stops, and my wife still on the phone with the dispatch tells them to have the cops check the basement windows. They say nothing is broken, and ask to be let in. My wife tells them I am armed (which I was hit or miss on since it led to the inevitable "You have a permit for that?" ) and heading downstairs to unlock the front door. They popped there head in, looked around, I showed them my permit/receipt, thanked them, and they left. Turns out the window dropped in the jam just enough to separate from the sensor which caused the alarm. The next day the alarm company came out and fixed it so it won't happen again. It was actually a very good experience all around. My wife was a little shaken up after wards, as was I. But I was glad my first instinct was not shock, and I was somewhat thinking clearly. If you have the option of seeing what zone was activated on your alarm system I highly recommend adding it as a step in your mental process.

Crap. Very good point, Thanks Ben. The only rail system I know of that allows you to keep the barrel nut on is the DD Omega series, but that defeats the purpose since I am looking to shave/grind down the FSP and cover a mid-length gas system with rails. :?

Is it possible to install a one piece free float handguard (Larue/Daniel Defense/etc.) over a pinned PWS FSC556?? I'm either very tired from working a ton of hours, or my google-fu is weak - perhaps both. Specifically I'm looking to put a DD 12" lite over a pinned FSC556, with the Front sight post and bayo lug shaved down.... Can this be done? Thanks!

I always have my eye out for a 9mm 1911... The wife really likes the 1911 frame and weight, but would prefer a smaller caliber then .45. It will be interesting to see what they have to say. I've never seen a Taurus 1911, Kimber seems to only do a batch every now and never, I lack the funds for an STI, and the older used colt models are also quite expensive. Not that it matter, I lack the permits at the moment anyway... :doh:

Some of these are hilarious!

:clap:

The rest of your post was not necessary... And to be honest, neither is this argument. What someone spends there money on when it comes to firearms is up to each individual. Some spend boatloads on ammo while others reload - argument. Some say leather is far superior to kydex for holsters, other say why own a holster is NJ - argument. Some buy cheap knock-offs of every accessory known to man, some will only buy ACOGs on Larue Mounts - argument. Some value safety of their family as precedent, others just like to shoot things - current argument. The important part is realizing that to each their own, and sleeping better at night. Can't we all just get along?

Have you looked at laserlyte K-15?? It's priced at or around $200 (Midway has them for $199 I think), and has a similar design to the PEQ-5. It's a green laser variant. http://www.laserlyte.com/New_Products/New_K-15.html I don't have one, but have been considering it. The reports of people who own them seem to be pretty good for the price range.

I <3 Ben

Field Test!! Who's up for it? :twisted:

I have a forend wrench for a Win 1300 that supposed to work for a Mossberg 500 as well..... I'm in South Jersey but will lend it to you via mail if you'd like... You'll only need it for the 5 sec to take off the cap, and the 5 sec to tighten it back up after the swap. MidwayUSA carries the wrench for the 590 I think. Let me know.

Tomorrow

Awesome... I like the way you think.

Sent you another PM with my cell. I'm available almost anytime tomorrow, but the range does not open till noon on Sundays.

:text-goodpost:

Bringing this post back from the dead - somehow I missed it the first time. In addition to axeman (who sponsored me) I am a member at Square Circle. As far as I am aware, they are accepting new members, but membership takes place only twice a year (perhaps that is what "Kevin" was thinking). I know July is one of the two times a year when new members are inducted. If you are still interested let me know. I would be more then happy to give you a tour of the place. Sent you a PM as well just in case you miss this post.

For $265 plus shipping you could free float your barrel yourself in about 10 minutes... http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=393043 I'm assuming you have 7" handguards. It would help if you had a second pair of hands to remove your existing handguards, or you could borrow/buy a handguard remove tool. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=664260

Enjoyable 3 min video... But even though it's the weekend, you may want to add a potentially NSFW tag on that. Depending on the workplace, even that may be frowned upon. :oops:

Ordering ammo online is perfectly legal. It's only in NJ, that you need your NJ FID card to purchase ammo and drive it to your house. :roll: However certain websites may ask for proof of age, such as a drivers license, etc.

Quickly chiming in... I started as a magwell holder, and it's still one of my most stable ways to balance the rifle and fire tight rapid groups. Switched to a CAA Stubby grip (short, kinda fat) which I used as an index/reference point for my pinky and ring finger. The rest of my fingers and thumb would be on the rails, index finger pointing at the target. Now I rock a Magpul AFG and love it! (I keep it pretty close to the magwell anyway) I find it a very comfortable way to shoot fast strings, and it gives me the best of both worlds because for slower, longer range shots, its also a very stable position to shoot from. I tend to switch between the AFG and the magwell depending on what/how I'm shooting. :twocents-02cents:

Welcome. +1 for NJ gun owners :clap:
