High Exposure

I have access to 2 stock mini-14s so I am not buying a new version - I just want to put a RDS (either an Aimpoint PRO or Insight MRDS), a light, and rig a sling. I have seen a ways to do this but mostly with junky gear from a cheaper than dirt catalog. Looking for better ideas and don't want to reinvent the wheel. I am hoping someone has researched this stuff already. No, I didn't lose a bet Didn't you hear? They are the new hotness

Ok. I will be taking a 3 day carbine course with EAG tactical this summer - the catch is I have to shoot the whole course with a Mini-14. What options do I have to mount a RDS, white light, and 2 point sling. It is an older Mini-14 ( most likely made prior to 1995) if that matters with a standard wood stock. I am for quality gear that will hold up to hard use and abuse. I am familiar with the platform but unfamiliar with accessories and options. Any help/tips would be appreciated. Thanks

Guy in the town I work in is a dealer for them. He have me one to T&E a while ago. I did not like it. It got hung up in everything, hear, environment, me - especially on reloads when I trap the stock under my arm. Shooting from high ready positions were a pain in the ass and unconventional positions where the stock my not be seated in your shoulder - junkyard prone, broke back prone, rollover and supine shooting positions where very uncomfortable and annoying. It's light, but the juice ain't worth the squeeze in my opinion. There are plenty of better options for a lightweight stock.

Battlecomp and PWS FSC556 are generally accepted as good to go.

I have had 2 come loose... I now use a spring loaded center-punch and a single tiny drop of blue Loctite to stake them.

Unfortunately, the real answer is: No one knows. IANAL It passes the NJSP "pinky" test, it is designed for compensations as its primary function, and other legal muzzle devices have flash suppression in their descriptions. I would lean towards its is legal. But until someone gets locked up and the NJSP makes a determination, no one will know for sure.

That's Lynn Thompson, the owner of Cold Steel knives. He's a fool:

I'm trying to get my ducks in a row for the SH and the FOF and maybe CEC class in April. 11 days with Uncle Pat - God have mercy! Mk46 in the Shoothouse would be fun and worth the price of targets.

"Fergudishu" Somebody has been hanging out with Uncle Pat too much! Ty that's a sweet blaster. Exactly what I would build if I could. Well done!

Why?

This is from the ATF and FBI study on ballistics through walls: I have the whole PowerPoint, along with a bunch of other documentation, but this slide is really the take away. My first choice for HD is my AR with 64gr Fed TRU (not bonded) Second choice is my pistol loaded with Federal HST.

I prefer standard Troy Flip Ups over the ones with the diamond shaped aperture. They are standard on all of my "social" guns. Training guns get Magpul MBUS.

Looks like she got her ass kicked a week ago and is covered in bruises. But at least her finger is off the trigger

Agreed, not "everyone". Hence why I said "more likely" instead of "guaranteed". I also agree, shoot when it's time to shoot, talk when it's time to talk, and don't confuse the two. In my experience, being able to watch the hands and see a nearby weapon make it easier to prevent the weapon from getting in the bad guys hands. A bad guy without a weapon is more likely to be arrested and not shot. Approaching that guy from the sides, instead of straight down the middle between two parked cars would have put the "officer" (re player) in a position of advantage and allowed him to keep his eyes on the unknown. This would lead him to make better decisions faster, allowing him to disrupt the perps OODA loop and win. A trained person who has some experience under his belt would know this and use it to prevail. A person with an hour of UoF training who things violence happens the way it does on TV would not.

Goddamn right, Warrior size! And don't you forget it!! :rofl:

A2 is just a little longer than I like.... A1 works for me though.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit......

^^ This I don't think so. They will stay with a NATO specific round - 9mm or .45ACP. DOD is it's own animal. It doesn't matter what DHS, DOE, etc.... gets. Also, no one has a bazillion rounds in their ammo locker. That is a huge misconception. What they do have is a piece of paper/contract that let's them buy up to a "bazillion" rounds of .40 S&W at a locked in price for a set number of years. It's called an IDIQ contract (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) and the agency orders what they need, when they need it, in smaller lots, all at the contract price. It's pretty standard and saves a ton of money by locking in this years prices for next years purchases. Schools do it with milk, hospitals do it with bandages, my PD does it with fuel, the State does it with GSA/State Contract pricing for everything from flashlights to holsters to ammo.

The FFL are bad dudes and one of the premier SF units in the world. They do not mess around. France has also been one of our largest, most consistent, and dependable allies in the GWOT.

I just left the scene of two attempted forcd entries. They tried to kick in 2 doors in a garden apartment complex and somebody scared them off. Be vigilant and don't be afraid to confront strangers or to shut a common area door on someone you don't know.

I am shocked I tell you, shocked!

I have a PM9. Had it for close to 7 years or so now. Great gun, reliable, nice trigger, usable sights, slim, lightweight, everything I wanted an a sub-compact single stack 9 - but it is expensive. I got lucky and bought it off a co-worker for ~$300. I shot a buddy's Shield. I want one now - but... I don't know of it will replace my PM9 as a carry gun.

What optic is that?
