Visible and usable are two different things! I want daylight usable. Meaning it don't get washed out in full sun. If shooting fast is what you are afer, you need an illumination level you can pick up quickly. This is where you will see references to scopes that are "aimpoint bright". My Elcan Specter and my Schmidt and Bender Short dot are both daylight usable "aimpoint bright".

Not the one I was looking for but interesting just the same! http://www.law.harvard.edu/students/orgs/jlpp/Vol30_No2_KatesMauseronline.pdf

I need to find a study done by a professor at Harvard I believe. Readers digest his findings where there are about 30k gun deaths a year and suicide accounted for 2/3rds. He said it was very surprising to him as he expected actual homicides to account for more than it did but the data didn't support it.

If you cant draw the validation from the dotted lines you will never be able to put 2+2 together. Follow the bouncing ball. Very few were getting rifles at the time. No vendors I know would extend any more credit to LWRC which is why no rifles were going out the door, they had no parts to make them. The parts they could source were not good which is probably a direct relation to so many issued up rifles at the time. What usually happens to a company when they reach a point of widespread credit hold? They go bankrupt or get bought. They got bought. But before they got bought, they had to clean up a lot of financial mess. A number of people got hurt in that process. Enter Maytech and they turned it around. But that doesn't erase the customer issues, rifle issues and vendors that got hurt that went on prior. Pre Maytech, no rifles, post Maytech purchase, now they can buy parts which equals rifles out the door. Not a hard concept to follow. BUT it is my speculation that if Maytech or anyone else did not buy LWRC, they would not be here today. Do you dispute Maytech bought them? You said earlier that If I am referring to VA days have at it. This would imply that you know that were full of issues at that time, yet you are disputing the issues.....

Exactly!

Frankly, i dont feel the need to provide evidence because it is so readily available with a search but i gave examples anyway. For those that dont know who "Jesse" is in the linked post, he is a senior vp at lwrc. Im sorry if this is news to people that have more recently become a fan of lwrc but none of this is news to anyone in the comunity or even following along at the time. I conceed that Matech did a great job of turning the company around. But again, it doesnt change what happened. And indeed a seaech indicates there are still those having issues with the system.

Did u not open the links?

Rutgers, in the end you need to understand a few things. First, this isn't a deposition. I could care less if you believe me or not. If you like LWRC, keep buying them. You are free to do so. But keep in mind, if you care to search, I do not, that I posted about LWRC getting bought before it was public knowledge. I also posted on this very forum the demise of another company before it was public, so I think my credibility is intact. You are free to accept my opinion or not, doesn't matter to me. The other thing to understand is I have no emotional investment in any firearm I buy. The only one I have an investment in are the ones I make....

First I don't have to prove shit. Go find it for yourself. The info is out there as public record, one just needs to look. IIRC is was on LWRC's own website for w while! Second, there is a limit to what I will say on an open forum. OK here, Ill help you, here is a post from Jesse himself. Why do you think rifles were so slow getting out the door? Credit hold on parts perhaps? http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?11460-Matech-Buys-Majority-Stack-in-LWRC-! Is LWRC the same company now as then, probably not but it doesn't erase what happened. It doesn't erase all the people that were waiting an eternity for their rifles getting told constantly it was almost ready and wasn't, among other things claimed that were not true but I will not discuss on an open forum. As for the rifles with issues, they are all people I know personally so as far as naming them, no. But Im sure you can google enough people that had issues to not need my list. Go look for repr magazine issues for a whole list of em. OK I'll help again, this is interesting: https://www.ar-15.co/threads/62804-LWRC-or-How-I-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-shoot-DI-guns http://www.silencertalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=55718

Before you acuse me of bs you better make sure im not right so you better check your tude. What exactly do you believe is wrong? Sorry if i interupted your lwrc coolaid session...

I don think they are after the Reaper/IAR, that dog don't hunt. Methinks its the 109 million dollar Saudi contract. And why would LWRC sell with such a contract in place? My guess is they are sweating fulfillment?

Lwrc a respected company, oh brother! If you only knew! They have been quagmired from the start with all the bs with the original owner. Lwrc should have went belly up the first time they went broke. The only reason they are still here at all is matech bailed them out on the prospect of a mill contract but their rifle failed so miserably it didnt get it. The co screwed over so many vendors its not even funny. Not to mention all the lies it told. Personally i know a ton of people with f'ed up lwrc rifles. Deleted content here since shitty manufacturers seem to like to sue despite the truth these days. Let it suffice to say in my opinion lwrc is not a good brand of rifle based on my first hand experience. What i cant figure out is why colt would even bother to buy lwrc.

Ahh forgot Roufoss...

HE in 7.62?

Funny, the Isreali's by in large chose to keep their AR's over probably the best AK ever made, the Galil. Must be because it was so bad in that environment..... G36, there's a great choice! Id love to have a rifle that turns into a banana if leaned up against something after heavy fire. I'll take an improved rifle. Signe me up! What is it? About the only rifle I would trust as much as my AR's would be a SCAR.

Funny how the trigger pullers in all branches I talk to wont give up their AR due to its proven reliability. But hey this country is now run by all the SME's in the rear with the gear or behind desks isn't it. Some of you sound like you have an issue because its black!!!!

Theme on the Seccession flag?

Im out! Just cant figure out to where and exactly when. I figure its now or in 4 years. Son starts High School next year so if Im not out before that, I think Im stuck until he graduates. Id consider PA but I just don't think I want to tolerate the cold anymore. TX, AZ, N-S/C are all options. Damjan, I'd like to hear about Utah if you don't mind.

I lack the energy to go look for it but I thought it was fed law that a manufacturer can replace a firearm and the SN is not required to match AND they can send it directly to you if you sent it to them.

I indeed agree it is punitive. I cant remember anytime in NJ that there has been this much push back against anti 2A. And so I agree it is a move to rattle the saber so to speak. I also wonder if all the recent efforts has caught the attention of the NRA and motivated them to help those that try and help themselves instead of viewing us as a lost cause.

Your welcome!

Neither, I'll wait for the Desert Tech that has the damn mag release in the right place! I had no issues with the spring removed. If someone is I would highly suspect they did something else to it!

Indeed they are similar in size:

I have a P30 Light Lem and an HK45CT Lem. One of the things I really like about the P30 is the ability to mix and match the rear and side grips. It allowed me to play with different configs to find the combo that gives me the best natural point of aim. I went with the HK45CT over the full size because they are basically the same capacity if I choose to make the HK45CT bigger, but I cant choose to make a full size smaller. Interestingly, I shoot both pistols, despite the caliber difference (9 vs 45) just about identically. In my opinion they are just about the best fighting pistol out there hitting just about every check box. Shane

I suspect you would have a ton of un-burnt powder spewing out the front... so yeah not a great idea IMO.
