Lol! There actually was a bunch of people putting BUIS on their rifles backwards because the COD Modern Warfare Video game had their M4 rendered that way. People thought the game was correct and installed their gear based on that. In reality, it really doesn't matter - and I'll say it actually makes sense to install that particular BUIS - The Magpul BUS - that way. Based on the position of the switch to release the sight, if you install it then"correct" way your finger/thumb can get in the way of it springing up.

Your front sight is on backwards.

Your receiver extension (the correct name for the "buffer tube") and castle nut are not mil-spec. Soon as it says "enhanced" you are out of spec. Spec is just that - to the military specifications and nothing further. If it ratchets, has an anti-tilt lip, and has a "lightened design" it does not meet the specification.

I'll have my hands on a Griffin Blastshield next week. I'll report back, unless I forget again like I did last time.... I'm such a dumbass....

They are messy, chemicals you have to dispose of, you still have to prep the parts and wipe them down. When you are done you need to blow the dry, then make sure you lube them properly. Too much work for a firearm you are using regularly. Maybe if you are restoring old neglected guns they have a place but to clean your beater AR or your favorite training guns it is overkill.

FYI: you are opening Pandora’s Box I say get a basic Remington 700 or if you want to spend a little more, a Ruger Precision Rifle in .308. Chose a moderately priced 1-10x scope, a rear bag, a bunch of ammo, a quality spotting scope and tripod, sling, data book, a range finder, and a kestrel. This is going to be crazy crazy expensive without even getting into the $7.00 around calibers. Learn how to shoot at distance - it will be cheaper to learn on .308 than any of these Gucci Calibers that may not be around forever (.308 isn't going anywhere) so you'll get more trigger time for your money. More time.behind the gun = proficiency - and let's face it, the US Mil has been killing bad guys at 1000 yards with .308 for years. It will likely do everything you want it to do. After you have the basics down or you have reached a point where you are outshooting your equipment, you can upgrade your optics or your rifle. You can probably sell the .308 RPR with little to no monetary loss and pick up another caliber if you feel the need.

The US cleaners are a waste of money. We have one at work and I hate it. It's more work than just cleaning it yourself. OP - If it takes you longer than 10 minutes to clean your carbine, you are doing it wrong. Too much cleaning can actually wear parts. Don't stress over it, you don't have to make it inspection presentable. Break it down, wipe it off, inspect for wear, snake the barrel, lube it, and put it back together.

Repeated rapid hits on 1/4 size IPSC targets at 300 yards with a red dot sight (no magnification) is easily attainable with a 50/200 yard zero and a little bit of knowledge.

RDS belongs above the magwell, over the center of balance of the rifle.

You go in such circles Ray. You change the subject then your new point rests on the fact that the subject has changed.... You never look at the why of the design - it's always "I don't like it, they should have done this." You wanted to know why the design of the SCR was the way it was and not different. "Why not make it a piston gun" - because then you can't use the AR uppers you already own with it and the whole reason this was conceived was to work with standard DI AR uppers. It is not designed to work with a SCAR. It is not designed to work with an AK, Sig, CZ or Beretta. It was not designed to be a anything other than an option for people that need an AR type rifle without a pistol grip that don't want one of those freaky paintball looking featureless lowers. It is designed to work with AR uppers. As such, the design incorporates the bolt carrier with a tail and an action spring in the stock.

I have a Contour camera. I mount it to my ear pro on my strong side. Works pretty well.

Those aren't ARs. The Sig 556 is really an AK all dressed up.

? A piston AR still needs a receiver extension with an action spring and a buffer. Think of this as a Mini 14 chassis that takes standard AR uppers. If you have thousands of dollars invested in ARs and the law changes to allow only one "evil feature" - this will allow you to still use your uppers.

Artificial here. Real tree smell kills me - I get sneezy, my eyes get itchy watery. No fun.

MW Agreed. Bill and Jedi are both on Primary and Secondary regularly. No way. No how. He won't get a dime from me.

Fuck Yeager. There are plenty of better YouTube channels to watch than his tactical band camp garbage. Keep in mind a lot of big names - especially prior military - stopped making videos because ISIS and other terror orgs were also using them to train their people. Try searching for videos by/featuring: Frank Proctor Kyle Lamb/Viking Tactics Kyle Defoor Jeff Gonzales/Trident Concepts Primary & Secondary Dave Spaulding/Handgun Combatives Ernest Langdon Ron Avery Trigger Time TV John "Shrek" McPhee/Sherrif of Bagdad Aaron Bareuga/Guerilla Approach William Petty/Centrifuge Training Travis Haley Pat MacNamara/TMACS Better than watching videos, go out there take some of their classes. NJ had had a lot of good trainers coming around lately.

If you only have an out of state DL, you can't be issued a summons for NJ equipment violations. But - if you have a NJ DL that has not expired in addition to your out of state DL you can.

This is not completely accurate. If you have a NJ DL and are operating a vehicle with out of state registration, you can still be issued non-moving/equipment violations if the vehicle violates NJ MV laws. So, if you are driving your brother's tinted out Honda with FL plates and get stopped and you have a NJ DL, You can be issued a summons 39:3-74.

I use the 3"X3" post it notes for zeroing. They are great.

I also shoot a 50/200 zero. Quick side note - With a 50/200 yard zero, your holdover at 500 yards should be about 36” not 52” which makes this even easier to do. I don't think you realize how small of a change in muzzle angle you need at 0 yards to create point of aim 52" above your target at 500 yards. You only need to change the angle of the muzzle 0.17 degrees to induce your 52" of difference. Or think about it this way: Say you have an Aimpoint T1 with a 2 MOA dot. At 100 yards, the dot covers two inches, at 200 yards 4 inches, 300 yards 6 inches, 400 yards 8 inches, and at 500 yards your dot covers 10 inches. If you have a 52” holdover, it is only a hair over 5 dots high. Plenty of room in that glass without interference from the front sight tower. Another way to look at it: 52” is only 4’4”. Think about how much room in your optic a 6’ human takes up at 500 yards. Add about 2/3rds the height of the person over the intended target area for your holdover - again plenty of room before your irons get in the way of your aiming point through the glass This is not the case with strict iron sight shooting. With iron sights, you are always obscuring everything vertically below your point of aim for your desired point of impact with the sight. That’s how iron sights work. At closer ranges you don't notice the sight obscuring your target because your target appears significantly wider than the front sight post because it is so close. But when you consider that at 500 yards, your front sight post is wider than the shoulders of a man, you can start to see the problems that may arise. Now, If you are using your co-witnessed sights at the same time ie: irons and red dot aligned on target (and I don't know why on God's green Earth you would do that) then yes, your front sight apparatus will obscure your target when looking through the optic at any distance because - again, to get hits with iron sights you purposefully have to cover up everything below. This will be true regardless of using BUIS or front sight tower and is one of the reasons I prefer RDS to iron sights.

So just throw them in the garbage.

Felt the food was a better quality, the recipes were better, and we could cancel a week here or there (going away, holidays, etc...) with less hassle.
