thought Einstein defined that as insanity.... oh... wait...

heard it this AM, thought it was one of the most concise and relevant arguements ive heard yet. was just going to post it and found this thread. definitely going to share this one.

fast shipping. easy transaction. thanks!

came across this page googling quickly.... lots of ideas here for mounting to carry handle. not too expensive either. you can use the see-thru mounts so he still has his irons, and still add a scope or red dot. http://www.thecountryshed.com/ar15_m16_scope_mounts.htm red dot only, or does he need magnification - bigger dot and target together? there are 3x magnified red dots, burris and primary arms comes to mind. primary arms even has a photo mounted to the A2 handle http://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_3X_Compact_Scope_PAC3X_p/pac3x.htm burris http://www.burrisoptics.com/ar332.html could even find a 4x on ebay to keep with the true A2 look if that helps keep his pride up. colt originals are like $400 BSA is significantly less... decent quality on their rimfire scopes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BSA-Optics-4x20-Rifle-Tactical-Scope-for-AR-Riflescope-BLACK-4x-Magnification-/350682626388?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51a6503954

yes. you need to drill out the rivets holding the storage compartments on to get to the roll pins as in the photos. either re re-rivet or replace with button head screws. beyond that, its all the same. i think i needed a slightly smaller diameter dowel pin, 3/16".

No doubt.

2nd spot. 1 is just too dang close IMHO. 3rd is a little more rifley.

you can get the PPQ in 40S&W if you want something bigger than 9mm...ive heard its a little snappy. Lous in Raritan had one the last time i was there. i have the PPQ 9mm and a Springfield 1911 in 45. Im hoping one day i go into the safe to find that they made a baby.

the aperature on the irons cuts down on the scattered light... move the sight further away and it should get better. i have my PA red dot almost as far down the upper receiver as it can go. start far, and bring it in until you start getting the glare, then move back 1 or 2 spaces.

my friends asked me about the process this weekend and said they were going to the local PD this week to put in...

a nice piece of leather. i have a 12 x 12 piece of 1/4" thick leather that i oiled up and use as my cleaning mat. would love to find a 18 x 24" piece...

Either a 1:12 or 1:9 upper that can double as 223/556 in pinch with 55 grain or a dedicated 22 build.

the A2 style one... i have a nordic comp now, and it is as loud as Dan next to me at RTSP last night shooting a 50 Beowulf AR upper... that thing was cool.

i just ordered the EGW Compensator... internet reviews say its much better than most other comps...

Drop in rail in? I've been looking into inexpensive routes for a 22lr Upper and have read decent stuff about Omega Manufacturing. Super reasonable on ebay... Not by any means a daniel defense or larue, but for $25-50, a great bargain. JIC you want to go that route.

nice sets come up on ebay frequently.

only major benefit would be to cover the muzzle threads for compliance.

what muzzle devices are you putting on your 22LR uppers?

dont you have a Range Officer? isnt that close, with the exception of target sights?

Thanks for the post. Im in the search for a 1911, was in Lou's last week, and was going to stop in Efingers for kicks. Guess I waited too long. I'm eyeing up springers as well so it sounds like we're on the se page. Thanks again.

Don't be hatin'. The PPQ stayed in the NJGF family. I picked it up from Joe on Thursday, and put 150 rounds down range Thursday night. Very impressed and quite pleased. Love the feel in my hand, and the trigger is awesome.

Great experience with Joe today. Thank you very much.

Classic Class 5. Bear enters home and snatches homeowners beer.

with no experience, i was going to suggest something like this. depending on frequency, why chance it? put the round in a box and save it for the range. chamber a new one. maybe go a few cycles, but eventually turn to fresh rounds if you going to bet the farm on it.

CameraLandNY has Vortex Vipers at good prices. I have 2-7x Vortex Viper on my AR for $199. Lifetime Warranty. Great deal. http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/vortex.pl?page=vortexviper2-7x32 Natchez had some Nitrex scopes on closeout, which are same as higher end Weaver glass. Good bargains. http://www.natchezss.com/category.cfm?category=405#q%3Dnitrex%26npp%3D15%26cats%3D1Optics%26catl%3D2%26p%3D1
