Thanks for the comments bbk and Caine, I'll leave it all alone until the next time I can actually shoot it.

So I took the MDTS combative carbine course weekend before last and came away with some questions on my front sight/gas block positioning, windage adjustment, etc. Chronologically: - assembled rifle, took it to the bullet hole for first firing, sighted in Eotech based on the paper hits at ~20 yards, did not use irons. - went to the MDTS course, Chris advised taking the course using irons so that's what I did. I took advantage of his offer to sight in rifle at the beginning of the course (apologies, I was one of "those guys" that took up valuable course time with sighting in) using their 50 meter carbine zero target. - first string of 3 shots using irons was so far left of of the circles that it was barely on the target board. Many, many windage clicks on the rear troy sight later, I was getting close to the lower small circle aiming at the big circle so we called it close enough for the course. Used the irons strictly for the rest of the course and they were good enough to get me in the boxes for the majority of the exercises, although most were at close ranges (I'd say under 20 yards). - here's how my rear sight windage adjustment came out after all the adjusting: Is that a lot? Too much? I'm wondering if the position I have for the gas block (adams arms piston gas block) which is ideal for the piston is way off of center for the front sight... - tonight I decided to play with a bore sighter I got. I painted a reflective surface ~ 30 yards away with the laser, then adjusted the Eotech so the center of the Eotech crosshair was dead on the laser spot. - After "zeroing" the Eotech, I flipped up the irons to see how they co-witnessed and get this: Obviously the Eotech is out to the right of the front sight post, and I'm guessing if I were to adjust the windage on the rear sight to get the Eotech co-witnessing horizontally with the front sight post I'd be even farther out to the right on the windage adjustment. Is it time for me to be looking at re-positioning my front gas block, or is this just par for the course with AR irons?

Wolf - steel case with a greenish hue, likely lacquered, more likely to stick in chamber. Tula - steel case with a dark gray hue, not lacquered, less likely to stick in chamber.

Best wishes Eddie, I know there's a little bit of one of my purchases in that ring!

Both FedEx and the airlines have previously had theft of firearms. Not to say it's a high risk, but it has happened before: Guns stolen from Israeli security detail at Kennedy airport: http://www.njgunforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9144&p=107947 Guns stolen by Fedex worker: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2008/08/fedex_employee_charged_with_st.html

Where are the women bodybuilders in that gallery? All I see are guys with makeup. :? Hrmm, the first one looks a bit better from 50 feet away and in lo res video: BcwAPLtL3uQ

POW-OOOOOOOOooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh That is cool!

I bought soft IIIA armor from bulletproofme.com. The cloth carriers that they sell will work fine for underneath regular street clothes, but they have no molle attachment/gear carrying capability. I decided I wanted to get a molle capable vest that would also hold my soft IIIA armor and also allow me to use SAPI plates in addition if I chose to get some later. There's very few carrriers/vests that do this (hold soft "street" armor *AND* also SAPI plates), but one that does it (and I bought) is tactical tailor's hybrid enhanced vest: http://www.tacticaltailor.com/hybridenhancedvest.aspx The frequently have sales that put the price closer to $250. There's also an ar15.com forum discount code they accept - search for it. Bulletproome.com will also sell you SAPI plates as well as soft armor: http://www.bulletproofme.com/Body_Armor_Accessories_Rifle_Protection.shtml

And you don't even have to carry it to the target yourself (AA12 mounted on R/C ground robot and R/C helicopter).... 9GV7ne3_688

None at all? SWEET! So I no longer have to have a dedicated "inspection" helmet that has 4 square inches of reflective tape on each side and the back?

Hey Caine, I'll see you at the class! I'd do the Cherry ridge meetup but I'm already scheduled for a practice triathlon that Sunday. Next one!

I hope that some day I get called for jury duty on a marijuana possession case and I get to introduce the concept of Jury Nullification to my peers.

Which one? Guns at cost is still showing $370-ish for me.

Just to clarify: If you want to buy "handgun" ammo from a retailer located *IN* the state of NJ, you'll need a Firearms Purchaser ID (FPID) card. To purchase any type of ammo from a retailer located *OUTSIDE* of NJ and have it shipped into NJ, or transport into NJ yourself, you'll likely need nothing more than a credit card or cash.

Behold - 120mm tank-fired shot shell, 1150 separate pieces of tungsten shot launched at once: Cgn1nhUEgo8

23 round capacity just waiting for ya: I'd hate to have to hold that, fully loaded, on target for a minute or more...

Wow! Lucky that was at the end of the barrel!

Welcome!

I think 5.56 has a little more lead and powder. Any experts can confirm?
