We tried Hello Fresh and Blue Apron. Decided we liked Blue Apron better. We get two meals for four people every week. Making the meals takes about 35-45 minutes and has become much loved family time. Even my 7 year old helps chop and cook and set the table with no arguing. The quality of the food has been very good and the recipes we have chosen have mostly been winners - a few I have not cared for - with a few recipes making our favorite dishes list. My favorite part is that we try different dishes and new food that normally we wouldn’t (I had Romanesco Cauliflower the other day for the first time and it was delicious) and makes us cook dishes we normally wouldn’t tackle on our own. The Little Chef: the finished product: This was Chicken with Drop Biscuits (basically Chicken Pot Pie). It was really good

We do blue apron, and we love it.

I use a lower 1/3 co-witness (which is superior to an absolute co- witness in every way), so that may change things if you are a proponent of an absolute co-witness. That being said: 1) I don’t even see the front sight tower. When looking through my optic. 2) The front sight tower does not get in the way at longer distances (in shoot RDS our past 300 yards). Think about it, your sight systems are still co-witnessed - optic and irons. If your dot is on target, then aiming through your irons will yield the same sight picture only with the dot in the middle. No obstruction of the target by the tower.

Keep your front sight and your BUIS. Make sure they are zeroed. Make sure you didn’t tear up the threads on the receiver extension (Commonly called the bufffer tube) when you tightened the castle nut. You may have overtightened it a bit and trashed the threads that keep everything aligned. Best bet - and what I would do - buy a new mil-spec receiver extension and a Magpul fixed carbine stock. Problem solved.

I know there are plenty of great Lawyers out there, but there’s nothing worse than a Lawyer that’s clearly on cocaine and on an ego trip I know there are plenty of great Drs out there, but there’s nothing worse than a Dr that’s clearly on Adderal and on an ego trip. I know there are plenty of great mechanics out there, but there’s nothing worse than a mechanic that’s clearly on meth and on an ego trip I know there are plenty of great contractors out there, but there’s nothing worse than a contractor that’s clearly drunk and on an ego trip. I know there are plenty of great politicians out there, but there’s nothing worse than a Politician that’s clearly on crack and on an ego trip. I know there are plenty of great waiters/waitresses out there, but there’s nothing worse than a waiter/waitress that’s clearly on heroin and an ego trip.

Griz, you learned on irons - that’s all you had. If irons were the only reliable aiming system we currently had, I’d say spend your time and $$ training irons - but a lot has changed since Vietnam. Irons are adequate they can get the job done, but an RDS can get it done faster, from more positions, and be just as accurate. If you enlisted today, they’d give you cursory instruction on the irons and give you the Lion’s share of the time and ammo available to spend sharpening your skills with RDS.

But in the end, that is what saved everyone....

Geisselle SSA trigger. Reliable and effective. /Discussion

If that is what you truly believe, and how you truly feel, it is no wonder you didn't get hired. Anyway, Downtownv is correct. We have strayed horribly off topic. Apologies.

So, who the hell are you to tell me my personal motivations to follow my career path? You are basically calling me liar. It's a bonus to have the job I want and get paid well and have a nice retirement. There are sucky parts to the job too. Take a look at the news and tell me cops are only cops for the money and benefits. In today's charged climate, no one in their right mind would put up with what we deal with without at least a touch of altruism.

Iron sights are over rated if you are buying an aimpoint. There are only so many hours in a day and so many rounds Inna case of ammo. Spend your time and money training on what you will use the most. I only cover BUIS briefly and them we zero them, fold them down, and forget them. In 15 years of shooting ARs, I've never used irons unless I was zeroing them or training specifically to deploy them. I agree with Ray Ray on their importance - even though at this point they are vistigial - and all of my rifles have them. I just never use them.

What's wrong with taking a job for any of those reasons? Why can't it be a calling as well? Wait let me guess - you chose your career because the pay sucks, the benefits were shit, and you were facing a horrendous retirement? Give me a fucking break...

Statements like this are a mirror. They reflect how you would act in a similar situation and describe your motivations to be a cop - ie: You think cops are like this because this is why you would want to become a cop. That doesn't mean that's why anyone else wants to become a cop. This attitude is created by looking at the world from your own personal frame of reference, developed from your own values, ethics, and underlying personality. Before you get your panties in a bunch, know that this is neither good nor bad. It just is. Taking it a step further, and I don't know if this applies to you or not, this attitude may be why you never got hired if you had ever attempted to become one.

You guys are painting with a pretty broad fuckin' brush there. I know for a fact that any cop with an opinion like that is in the minority. Also, if that guy is retired - he is not exempt from anything. Imagine if cops attitude towards all residents was formed based on Sumdood's anecdote on the internet. You want to see where the Us Vs Them attitude is coming from - check the mirror. You want to know why you are getting vague responses from PDs and County Offices? Look at everyone chomping at the bit for a LEO to be wrong. You want direction on this (believe me, so do the cops) get the AG's office to put out a damn decision on this.

Hell, I'd shit myself the first time I faced any weapon fired at me by a trained enemy*... *I have been shot at only once. I was standing next to my car talking to my partner someone shot 5 rounds at us hitting nothing. We identified it as incoming immediately but could not locate the source. To my credit, I didn't shit myself - I was too angry. But, I think that's vastly different than knowingly going up against trained soldiers properly equipped for war.

He uses what the student best responds to.

Tell me you have another Python that you do shoot.... It should be a crime to not shoot that gun.

You will not be able to use the H1 (or any RDS) on an AR without a proper mount that brings the optic up to the right height. That being said - I have 2 of those DD mounts for the Aimpoint T1 (one older model mount that is only lower 1/3, and one newer one with the spacer in to make it lower 1/3). They work perfectly. Yes, lower 1/3 is the way to go. There are arguments for both folded down BUIS and fixed front sights. Do what works for you. My HD and Patrol carbines both have fixed front sights. My SWAT and training rifle has fold down BUIS.

Fuck Yeager. But I think this is a different guy: James Jeager. http://www.mecfilms.com/jrjbio.htm

From what I gather it was pretty standard thinking in the field - add on "field applique armor" that helped defend against the better guns of the Kraut tanks. But you didn't see it often. Commanders (Gen Patton for one) hated it though. Thought it looked "shabby" and "ill disciplined". He felt that men adding extra armor demonstrated that they lost faith in the armor and equipment they were issued.

Imagine making a movie like this today, glorifying our firepower, desire, and ability to destroy the enemy? If we, as a nation, went back to mindset like this, where this level of commitment to total victory was acceptable, the GWOT would have been over years ago.

Awesome War Dept film comparing German and American firepower to ease the minds of new soldiers going into combat. Enjoy! ETA: Check this guy's YouTube Channel for more US Army films from WWII. Very cool stuff.

This is an Ares SCR: https://fightlite.com/collections/scr-rifles in pistol form. The SCR has been out for a while in both complete rifle and lower only form. They will accept any AR upper, just swap the BCG. If N.J. goes featureless for semi auto, the SCR is a viable option. Trigger is meh, but it handles well. That pistol though - no thank you.
