I am going to find out how mine will do tomorrow. I just put on the TECH sights. I think it will save me a bit of money not shooting the ARs so much. I lucked out my first top of the page and I have a picture on it.

As a fixed-distasnce trainer, the less expensive version will do perfectly. If you want to change things in the future, for some reason, the components which differ amongst the two rear sights can be purchased by themselves, so changing from one version to the other is not a great expense.

You will just have a shorter sight radius, and a tinch less inherent accuracy, all other variables constant. It will work fine on both versions.

Taiwan is the Republic of China, vs. the People's Republic of China on the mainland. FWIW Taiwan (ROC) has long been a US ally, and their technology/quality level is generally quite high, as in very modern. The ROC is not a third-world dump by any means.
If your part is defective, then by all means send it back so they can make good on it, as surely they will. That is precisely what your warranty is for, and you should definitely alert any mfr to defective parts so they can not only fix you up, but correct the mistake so the same thing doesn't happen to others in the future.

I was reading through this awesome thread and soaking up a wealth of knowledge when I ran into a small snag.

Any Ideas?

I'm signed up for an upcoming Appleseed shoot (my first) and was going to use my 5.56 AR. After reading a bit, and considering that the 400 rounds of 5.56 ammo I'll use up would cost around $300, I decided to just buy a 10/22 and save the ammo. About the same cost, right?

So I found a NIB Deluxe Sporter on GB for a decent price, and pulled the trigger.

Shoulda stopped there...

Since then (i.e. in the last 4 hours) I bought a Hornet trigger assembly, Hornet speed bolt, titanium charge handle, and a set of Tech Sights, adding about $300 to the rifle.

Why oh why oh why do I do this....I should have just bought a Spikes Upper for the same money (except that I would have spent another $400 on it.)

Got a 10/22 recently as a gift so I talked myself into a little splurging for my LTR. I put the Tech-Sights on it right off the bat and shot it a bunch. I loved the little rifle so I decided to build it up exactly how I wanted. Here's what I just got done purchasing for the project. I'll be back with appropriate AAR once I put it together and get to the range.
I got just about everything at shootersdiscount.com except the Tech Sights and then found a nice deal on the Hogue stock and Butler Creek Mag at manventureoutpost.com. I was dead set on ghillie tan and was real pleased to find one in stock and at a discount. Helped me justify the GM .920 barrel upgrade.

Couldn't agree more, I absolutely love the 10/22 and it is a great and cost-efficient way to practice/train.

Here's mine. I've since added a tech-sights front sight bull barrel adapter. Now I have a suppressor en route and will get this barrel threaded and have dovetails cut into the barrel. Shoots friggin great.

I'm finally building my rifle. So here's my question. Which version of the Tech Sites are you guys using? TSR 100 or the TSR 200?

For training at 25M, paying the extra for rear sight windage adjustability is not worth it. As for initial zero, that is best done by trying LOTS of different ammo, and seeing which ammo that is reasonably priced, and widely available does the best in your rifle. Adjust your sights to this ammo, and you're done. Just buy a few cases of the same ammo, and do the small adjustments, between lots, as required.

Either sight will do all right. For training, as opposed to field use, having a rear sight peep aperture that can be changed out for a smaller one is an advantage. The main point of the Liberty Training Rifle (LTR) is to keep things low-cost and simple, so that the rifle can be used, or loaned out as a training rifle, and the user need not make any adjustments at all. Keep things as simple as possible consonant with safety, reliability, and accuracy (in that order), and you will do all right.

Ammo trials should be done from a bench rest, as one wants to eliminate the human element in ammo evaluation. You are looking for consistent group size during evaluations, with a medium-dirty rifle.

I linked to a .22RF ammo eval doe on rimfireCetral above, and looking at that link will point you in a good direction as far as which ammo to try first. Once you find some reasonably priced ammo that your rifle likes, buy a few cases.

Some folks misunderstand the purpose of the LTR. In good hands, using good ammo, it should hit to point of aim. But, for training purposes, the Instructor is looking at the location, and size of the group of shots, so as to coach the shooter into firing an ever-tighter group. As a Trainer exactly where the group is centered is secondary to the goal of educating the shooter to shoot ever-smaller groups. Using identical ammo, two good shooters might take the same rifle and shoot into different points of impact. That's the way of things.

Just loan that LTR out to every kid you can, and get them hooked on shooting! That's the best thing you will ever do with any firrearm, and that's the REAL purpose behind the LTR. If you spend too much money on it, you will be hesitant on loaning out your "Baby".

Keep it simple, and loan the thing out to everybody!
