KdpPipes, generally I would agree with you and I can tell you NJ2AS recognised before the first call, email or anything was ever made that we may find oursolves in a position to need to pull stakes and pop chocks and pull out for Brian's sake or any other reason that may have presented its self. However, there is a stark difference in coordinating with the wishes of the convicted and family, and out of the blue being treated like we took a heaping steamy sh!t in the punchbowl at the christmas party. And this seems to have extended outward to the gun community as a whole. I can also tell you that I do not believe any of this was at the direction of his attourney. He in fact was going to be at the Rally....

This -->

peasants rule nothing, subjects rule nothing. Us CITIZENS like better weapons

Actually I was thinking he was drunk....

Its an absolute clear cut case of right to carry. If that security guard was like the unarmed ones at the schools here, there would be more casualties, even a bad shot only misses so much!

Yeah if you want a peasant gun! Flame suit ON

I will not be attending. Since I am just a political distraction, it serves me better for him to be in prison as a shining example of whats wrong here. Thanks for your martyrdom Brian.... I am sure this sounds callose, but the fact is we were fine with just leaving it alone and walking away. It seems the Aitkinds, for reasons unknown, want to persecute NJ2AS specifically. What value was there even mentioning NJ2AS to the interviewer? What purpose did that server towards their goal? The ONLY value I can see for them is if this was orchestrated that if they denounce us, he will get what he is asking for. That would be par for the course for NJ.

Wolfy, its a bit deeper than that. Theres a difference between "work with my stratagy" and the f off that occured.....

I agree SBC but I think he intended to take a few with him...

Its just dissappointing that they dont understand the corelation between the two....

It has a half life of 12.5 years. So in 12.5 years it will be half as bright.

I think thats what hangs me up with anything tritium powered. Im so used to aimpoints and such, that is what my eye is used to so if it isnt aimpoint bright, it just doesnt register well for me I think its great you guys are trying it in your AO. Its truly the only way to know I think.

Piston AR...Pass.

Thats easy, you just need to be able to run faster than 3200 fps

Very cool!

How well can you pick up the night sights in that scenario? Ive never had luck with any tritium powered anything aiming from dark to a lit area. And for clarity I mean positively ID a BG, not just a silouette :ph34r:

An excersize I used to do. Sit, stand whatever. Pick an object. Close your eyes. Present to the object. How off are you? Correct and repeat. Make sure you pick objects at all maner of angles etc etc. The more you do it, the more you will be on. The more your on, the less you need your sights at bad breath distances

Caine, I appluad you for following the path of trust but verify! Very good. Since you verified the limitations and are aware of them, for you I would say there is no down side to having them. But the salient point is as you stated, when stress was induced, you did not use them. This is really likely due to the fact that you will default to what you do in training. If you dont train with them, you likely wont use them when the time comes.

The down side would be the concern of someone chasing the sight instead of getting light on the subject and shots on the BG. My recomendation is to really try these things for yourself. What I cen tell you is this. As we all theorise the way stuff works, how it would be deployed, how I would use XY and Z is all talk, sounds good. But you guys see what I do. I take a buncha stuff out and try it. Hell I have yet to take a single optic and rifle to a match, its always at least 3! That has taught me that very, VERY few times it worked like I thought it would. So far, only 1 has worked as designed and planned AND THATS FOR ME so it may not work for you! So I would recomend really trying this out. Get to a low light shooting class from a reputable instructor. If you cant, clear your weapon. Good, now clear it again! Now try it out in your home. Observe what you can really see at a light level that the tritium becomes effective. How long are you taking to pick up the sights? Is there enough ambiant light to id a target? Practice and competition have taught me that I can rely on muscle memory and "point shoot" to some degree. For example at a IPSC match I forgot to turn my optic on. I ran through the entire stage with NO SIGHTS! I had NO misses! Heres a perfect example. Sam and I theorised on several occasions that running an acog like an OEG sight would work of you could close the front off the optic and rely on the bindon aiming concept. On paper it looked great and I have found several that claimed that it works. The fact of the matter is it does. But the piece of info I didnt find ANYWHERE is the amount of shift you could experience at distance. So what we learned by trying was that it did indeed work, but only for maybe 15 yards or under, perferably 7 or under. Why, because at say 50 yds, the shift was measured in feet!

I suggest more practice! Not a fan of night sites. I'll take muscle memory over night sites anytime. Heres a question, if its that dark that you need to pick up the night sites, can you positively ID your target?

What money tree? It was free One down side, it has to be returned to its owner, S&B

Hehe, I cant post any pic's yet. Its still under wraps. Heading out to Philly with Marc on thursday actually.

K Tony, let me know.

Maideneddie YES! wait for it

...when you run the reciever under the band saw or run an endmill through the reciever.......
