Yes it is! (still a firearm)

Harry, I think Im going to give that type of setup a try. I have the new OPS2 Inc QD mount that has an adapter to mount the RDS. Going to throw my USO 1.8X10 in it and run it on my SCAR at the next multi gun match.

I had an oportunity to handle the new S&B 1X8 yesturday. Its an interesting concept in a multi role optic. Is has a second focal plane dot and a first focal plane reticle. Size was ok, clarity was good. BUT HOLLY SCHNIEKES was this thing eye box sensitive!!!!! Granted it wasnt mounted in a rifle but if I wasnt holding damn near perfectly still, shadows galore. This was rather disappointing. Simply, if it is to be useful in the CQB role, it needs to give a good sight picture with a less than ideal cheek weld. This was not the case. So the 1X8 is off my wish list after that experience

NJ609, I hear you but I honestly think there is a lack of scale here. What I mean is the total cost of this event multiplied by 1000 doesnt even scratch the surface tension of the water above the Marianas trench that is NJ's wastefull spending...

Yeah but shipping was a %$*&^$

Holly sh!t you guys are stuck on money! How about Honor, pride, respect for the animal that served humans. Its just friggen money. How much do you really think the helo cost to put up that day? My bet is nothing becuase it was well within its flight time budget anyway......

BCM or DD are the best bang for the buck IMO.

No. And even if it was removed it would change NOTHING!

Clearly its a collapsible stock

Has this AR ever shot a decent group? :thsmiley_deadhorse: Irons or another scope need to be utilized to identify the optics system as the culprit. If it isnt, there could be a barrel issue such as an improperly interfaced and torqued barrel nut or a seriously bad barrel.

PS. The diff between a chicom or old scope and a top shelf scope is the quality scope has an adjustment for parallax instead of just accepting the parralax set into it at the factory. The imprtance of parralax increases with magnification. IIRC this is a lower power scope which also would imply parallax is not the issue.

I think the issue is the scope or mount but a few thoughts. Parralax is easy enough to test. Sight in. Move your eye up a tiny bit, down, right, and left. If the ret or target move without the scope/rifle moving, you have a parallax issue. The consistant cheek weld is important to accuracy but I dont think its whats going on here. A consistant cheek weld in a bad position wont help much, its only part of the story. You must have an optically centered, parallax free, center of eye box, edge to edge clarity-no shadow, NPA, picture for an ideal sight picture. My money is on the scope internals have gone to mush and the ret is jumping around. If you shoot irons and the groups shrink dramatically, then you know its in the optics system somewhere. Try taping on the scope while looking through it and see if you can catch the ret jumping.

Well, I would suspect it turned its self into a bottle rocket. Its a topic I have reviewed a number of times and always came away with the same answer from experts in the field. Not really an issue, far greater dangers from other things. If I were in that situation, I would absolutely woordinate with the FD on what is where and whats a special concern.

OK but there are some undenyable facts. Sometimes triggers get pulled by things other than a finger! An external safety does a better job in this regard. Ask the LEO that got shot in the hip when he closed the trunk of his car that squezed the Glock in a Glock case and fired off a round! There are several reasons I like a true external safety. I dont hate Glock just because its glock. I dont care for the glock for the 3 reasons listed. I can make the trigger better. I think there is even an external safety mod. But I cant fix making it point right for me. I do not care for the Glock cool aid of glock perfection and the myth that they are unfallable. Now my Buddy has a glock that sees more rounds between cleanings than I have fired.....ever. But I have also seen them shear their locking bar at a relatively low round count too. These posts always lead me to say the following so I am just going to cut to the chase. Use what you are most comfortable with and have the most confidence in. For me that is a 1911. I can fire it faster and more accurately than any other pistol, and it has features I require. If it was a Glock, or M&P or XD that held that position you can damn well bet thats what would be in my holster.

I mean one that goes click!

"I also understand that the above quote is just something that is said to reflect that you understand that a pistol is quite inferior to a rifle. In "uncivil" society as opposed to warfare, handguns make all the difference despite their inferior ballistics performance." Exactly! Id much rather have a 45 on my belt than a rifle at home!

Speaking stricly for myself and not an official position of NJ2AS, it was never about using him to champian the cause, it was about undoing an injustice. If Brian were to be a champion of change or a poster child of whats wrong it would absolutely have to be post getting free and clear of his current situation. In my mind thats where the real danger for him lies. If he were to become the poster child prior to a decision, that would mean a commuted sentance would also be potentially percieved as an admission of bad laws on the part of the state. This state absolutely would not do that, even if it was right for the one, they arent opening the doors for the many.

Weak topic for me, I just dont know other than it caught my eye, Ive read a few things, and Id like to try em

I have read a couple of times that they are GTG in a winny 1300/FN TPS. Some have trouble in the 870. No data on the Mossy. Worth a try cuz if they work well, the extra capacity is REALLY nice

I have exactly 3 problems with Glocks of which 1 is really preference. 1) No external safety. 2) The trigger (SPROOOING) 3) My NPA would be about a 100yd zero

Anyone try the minishells? I think my pump will hold 11?
