High Exposure

Oh, and if you are looking to unload a PRO, let me know

Buddy in CT recently got one. I'll get my hands on it at the end of the month when I go up to visit. He has limited time on it since it is so new, but he likes it. Says the glass is amazing and transfers a lot of light. Great for intermediate distance shooting 100-400 yards. Initially slower than a RDS inside 100 yards - but that gets better with practice. It isn't really a replacement for an Aimpoint or other RDS sight. It is more an alternative to an ACOG type optic with its fixed magnification.

Could you have logged into your Amazon account on a shared computer and not logged out? Did you shop on a work computer that IT can access? Could someone have guessed your password? I would change all of my email passwords immediately. Then I would then check Amazon and make sure only my email addresses are assigned to my account, then I would change my Amazon password. Check your Amazon order history, see what orders you made when you know you were signed on. Also, check your account settings and see what CCs are assigned to your name. I would probably clear all the CCs out of my Amazon Acct as well.

Buy it with confidence. Which tube? Alpha, Bravo, MLOK?

Heavyopp is right. Run your credit report. Make sure everything in there is familiar. Sounds like someone started an account in your name - that means they have your SSN, your address, a password or two, and probably your Mom's maiden name. Pay attention to your phone bill as well. Recently, these cases have been often times starting with a phone account in your name. If anything seems out of the ordinary or fraudulent, go to your local PD and and start an ID theft investigation.

Brucin, completely understandable. Thanks for confirming it for me. As for why, if you aren't going to wear a duty belt, buckling it and throwing it over your shoulder is the easiest way to carry it without dragging it on the ground, or risking it spontaneously disassembling and dumping all your pouches all over in a yard sale as they slide off the end. It also enables you to use your hands without putting everything down. That said, I usually orient the belt so the gun is in front of me and flat against my chest when I do that.

I'm pretty sure there is a mag in what looks like a Glock in that holster. The part pointing at you in the photo is the muzzle, not the mag well. The old school Safariland duty holsters were open like that on the bottom. I think I can see the sharp corners of a mag in the grip.

Meh. It's in what looks like a Safariland SLS security holster. A little careless but not unsafe. I wouldn't do it, and I would say something to my guys or someone I knew if they are doing it. It isn't so much a safety issue as a mindset issue - I'm not worried about the gun going off, I am concerned that he doesn't know who is behind him and he has no positive control over the gun. He could just as easily carry his belt that way with the gun in front so he can be aware of it. In the end though, it's not going to hurt you. Every time I squat down to tie my little guys shoes my OWB points at whomever is behind me. Anyone carrying AIWB points their gun at their crotch/femoral every time they sit. Like Griz said, you wear a horizontal shoulder holster it points at people all day long, going upstairs in a duty holster and you are sweeping those coming up behind you. This is no different from that point of view.

Ameriglo makes a nice one. The driver end on the tool is usually a softer metal than the nut that holds the sight - this lets the tool strip instead of breaking the front sight - so they strip out fairly often. The Ameriglo tool allows you to change the tips out for a fresh one if one gets beat up and stops working.

How does that saying go.....?

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with this. I have seen too many rifles fail to what tracks back to low quality parts manufacturing and low quality assembly. You have to cut some corners to keep prices low, this is even more true when dealing with a company that has a relatively small production where it costs more to produce each rifle. Those cut corners are where you find your breakage. The Devil in fact, is in the details. Again, I'm all about NJ built ARs. Even more excited about a NJ company standing up for NJ 2A rights. But for the time being, MM is an unknown with pricing equal to quality known manufacturer of Lang standing quality. That's hard to beat.

I want to hear more about these MM rifles. What are the specs? Are they legitimately reliable? What configurations do they have available? I have questions upon questions... It's hard to be an unknown entity breaking into the AR world with so many reliable and quality rifles out there that have a baseline for reliability, accuracy, and quality. If I have $800 to pickup a carbine do I buy a Colt 6920 with their years of known performance? Even the few issues that do crop up from time to time are known. Or do I spend my money on an unknown rifle, that is new on the scene, that I never heard of before? I'm all about NJ companies building guns - This makes my heart soar like an eagle. But, if I am on a fixed budget and can only buy one gun to suit my needs its hard to choose the unknown over the known. MM needs to get out there and get ther gear into the hands of some shooters. Become that known quantity.

Colt 6920 $899: https://www.armsunlimited.com/Colt-Law-Enforcement-M4-Carbine-p/le6920.htm Pin the stock and have the hider swapped for a brake. You'll be under your $1k cap.

Just for reference, Drew is like 6' 220lbs. Steve Fisher is a very large mammal. Shooting 1/4 size IPSC steel from 100 offhand from barricades during a block by Steve Fisher: I also took a Carbine Combat Marksmanship class with Freddie Blish, a Room Processing and Subject Control class in the Shoothouse with Chappy, and an excellent 2 hour Pistol Class with Ernie Langdon. Ending the day with 100 yard barricade shooting with Fisher at night: Anything less than 500 lumens was impossible. Less than 1000 lumens was hard The classroom at Alliance was dedicated to Pat through the generous work and donations of Blue Force Gear: It was an excellent weekend of fellowship, training, and remembrance. Glad I was there. Oh, Ty, Romper said hey.

:rofl: There are a bunch of Iowa guys at the hotel.

I'm at the Pat Rogers Celebration in Alliance Ohio for the weekend. Just had dinner with a bunch of legit meat eaters. Alliance Ohio will be the safest town in America for the next 48 hours. Tomorrow is a fun filled day taking classes with Steve Fisher, Jeff Gonzales, Freddie Blish, Ernie Langdon, John Chapman, John Spears, and Matt Jacques. Sunday is a BBQ and Range dedication. Life is Good my Brothers!

For bigger MOA you can also look at the Trijicon RMR (up to a 12 MOA triangle). They work well on carbines and are 1/3 - 1/2 the cost of the ACOGS. They also come in Red, green, or Yellow in the dual illuminated version. Red only in the LED version (which may work fine with the larger for) That being said - The Dual Illum version is not my first choice for a social gun, they tend to wash out when you are in low light and are looking towards a lot area, i.e. Using a weapon light in a structure. https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product2.php?id=rmr&mid=Dual-Illuminated I don't trust CMore on social guns. Guy on the team runs one on his MP5 for work. He's had to replace it 2 times in 5 years and it goes through batteries like it has stock in Energizer.

ACOG makes some nice 1.5x optics with your choice of red, yellow, or green reticles. You are going to pay for them, but they are high quality. If I couldn't use red any longer, that's what I would pick. The 1.5 isn't terribley inconvenient. A lot of the variable optics that claim "true 1x" are actually between 1.2 and 1.5 mag. They don't seem to bother most shooters, especially shooting with both eyes open. https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product2.php?id=acog&mid=1.5%20x%2016S

There really isn't a difference as far as maneuverability in a house between an 11.5"-16" barreled AR- if you know how to move. I am issued both an 11.5" SBR and an MP5, and I own an MSAR STG E4 (a bullpup style AUG clone). Strangely, with its 16" barrel the MSAR is actually shorter than the 11.5" SBR with the stock collapsed, and it is only about 1/2" longer overall than the MP5 with its 9" barrel. Even with all those options, I use a rifle with 14.5" midlength BCM upper (BC 1.5 pinned to make 16") for HD. DaddyNick's rifle looks like a good setup overall for the base of a social gun. Throw a white light, and sling (minimum) and an optic (not necessary but encouraged) on there and you are all set. In a residential house CONUS, a rifle with a 16" overall length barrel is fine. On that note - be careful you don't pin the stock too close in an attempt to shorten the overall length. There are drawbacks that affect handling when the stock is too short. A comfortable rifle with all the controls and sights where you want is is better than a rifle that is 2" shorter but uncomfortable and hard to manipulate. Where you really notice the benefit of a shorter gun is in vehicles - but the SBRs have their own set of issues there that you have to contend with. But that is a whole other topic.

Detonics Mk VI double action. Looks like it had a carry job done to it - a custom melt job on the slide and a bobtail on the grip.

Aervoe makes a good matte clear coat.

- Manitou Springs is a touristy old town and you can check out the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. In bought they were cool. - Check out Garden of the Gods. - Hike The Flatirons, they are near Estes Park/Boulder area.

I have 3 Geissele SSA and one Geissele SDE. They are excellent. I also have 4 ALG ACT and for the money, they can't be beat. My favorite trigger is the Geissele SSA. For a social use gun it is the best there is. It is expensive though. The best value out there for a trigger is the ALG ACT. It is the best $65 you will spend when building a new rifle. Both ALG and Brownells sell LPKs with ALG ACT triggers. Midwest PX (who is a member here) has trigger less LPKs for $30 and the ACT for $69. That's a pretty good deal for known quality parts.
