I completely understand that you pay for quality. But, is that to say that this optic is simply no good? Seems that the reviewer thought it was very good for the money, which should be good for me...one thing though. Is the flip to side magnifier for the other optics specific for them, or can it be used with this one too?

Thanks much guys! I like that site. I think it's going on the Ar. Only think I'd like to add is a seperate magnifier that swings out to the side. I have seen quite a few options for that online.

I am sure I'll be happy with the purchase. I have very little experience with this rifle, but I am hoping to change that soon. Can anyone recommend a good setup for a red dot and magnifier with a flip to the side mount? I am not certain yet, but I think I might go with that style for this gun.

Variety is the spice of life! LOL Shock? Hmm, let me see...it hurts alot. It really doesn't do much for the recoil. I think it simp;ly concentrates the force into a smaller area than a regular stock does. All joking aside, it's not that bad, just not for everyone.

Here ya go sir. Sorry i am not sure of the name of the laser. A buddy gave it to me. the other parts are ATI.

You know what guys, I went to the bullet hole and had an interesting experience. A guy and his wife/girlfriend was in the next booth. I just finished firing the 40 and decided to put a few rounds through the Mossberg before I left. I guess the girl was never there before and was learning to shoot a pistol. I fired the shotgun adn she dropped the handgun. Guess she was never to a range before. After reading this post, I may try to find a place to buy full body armor before i go back the the BH. LOL

I have heard so many different opinions on what is and what is not legal in this state. It seems that the more research I do, the more confused I become. If you own a gun legally and use it for range shooting and such, and that is ok, why would it not be ok to protect you life and family with it? If the guy is in your home in the middle of the night and gets shot, how exactly is that the fault of the gun owner? Isn't it the same as going into a lino's cage and then blaming the lion for getting mauled? Maybe if someone does break in, I will simply club them with the Mossberg...at least that will be a lesser charge than actually using the thing for its intended purpose.

Mods are the fold over stock, green laser, tactical forearm, and the heat shield. I am looking at the 930 model now after shooting a friend's...lots of fun!

Here's my Mossberg 500.

I have to ask you guys. In the event that someone comes into your home uninvited how could anyone feel that they are not in mortal danger? I don't understand how any law could be in place where it is considered OK for a criminal to enter a home and the homeowners have to hope that the police can respond in time to save your life. If they enter and have a weapon, the chances of being "rescued" are next to nothing. I would never want to use my firearm for anything aside from target shooting, but in life or death scenario, why shouldn't it be used to protect yourself?

I have the M&P 40. Bought it in 2005, I think when it first arrived on the scene. I've never had a problem with it. I am curious about what would have to be done to it to fire 357 though. Is it simply a change of the barrel and GTG?

Well, I thank all of you guys for the good advice. What you said about using it for a specific purpose makes sense to me. I will set it up as you recommended. I ended up putting a deposit down tonight on the RRA model. I know the gun shop owner pretty well and trust him. He actually said the Smith was not as well suited as the RRA for the money. I am happy to be getting this rifle and hoipe to learn more about ti from the good folks here.

Guys, I have been looking at the S&W OCR and the RRA versions of the AR-15. Both are around 1000 bucks and I am not sure if they one of them are the way to go, or would you recommend something else. I would like something in tactical trim with a long range scope and also a close quarters type site on it. I know these will have to be purchased seperately, and would like opinions. I am looking to get a tactical rail for the front for a light also. Give me some ideas guys. I am new to the AR style rifles. Thanks alot in advance and feel free to post some pictures for me here!

Thanks alot guys. I guess i'll post a question on the AR section. I need advice on that and want my money's worth from the purchase.

I just wanted to introduce myself guys. I am new here and obviously a gun owner in NJ. I'm looking to gain as much knowledge as I can and contribute what I can as well. Currently I own an M&P 40, Mossberg 500, and Hi-point 9mm.Shopping for an AR-15 now and trying to decide on a brand...
