I like your style, love 45 colt, leverguns, and stainless and Jeeps! |
I really need an updated pic. Up top, the SR15 now wears a CQBL and a TA33. Hopefully the DAS can will be out of NFAjail very soon. Doubtful, but hopeful. Also hopeful that I can add one of the new Thermal FLIR Boson Core Q14s that are supposed to come out this year at $2K ish. On the bottom is a FrankenAR with a 12.5" Noveske barrel wearing a SLR Solo rail sitting on a RRA lower with a LWRCI UCIW stock on the backside. It's got a Trijicon MRO, a Surefire M600 Scout and a DBAL D2 on it. I also recently added a TNVC TAPS. |

Attached File 8.5" blackout with ATN X-sight II. It used to have a matching SBR lower but I've found the external battery pack fits perfect in the arm brace, you know for storage and transport when my arm isn't in there. |

IMG_2069 by Armed Ferret, on Flickr Slightly older photo; i got rid of the PA which is a great range scope but AWFUL for low-light hunting, and swapped it to a Bushnell AR optics 1-4. Shockingly good scope for the money, *WAY* better low light performance. and the illumination is superb. |

Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File The last pic on the tripod is my buddiys setup. He’s running a 60mm MK3 on his rifle and a 35mm REAP around his neck for spotting. |
Took a few days off work with a buddy and we built a blind/platform across from the little pond where we have the feeders. Worked pretty well!
Big thanks to Tom at NGI for changing the ground shipping to next day for the tripod on his own dime (I totally expected when I called to pay the shipping cost difference but he told me not to worry about it so big thank you sir!). Came just in time for the hunt and was awesome to use. 
Got these little guys and had a lot of fun even with the dehydration from building the blind

This was my first time hunting with it but so far I really like it, no complaints. The recording feature works well, zero-ing was a breeze and I like the various color palettes. I have the TNVC external battery that I got for free from buying it from them which I highly recommend to increase battery life so you're not having to swap out batteries at night. Upgrading firmware can be a pain since you have to contact FLIR to get the actual software and from what I've read customer service leaves much to be desired but have no first-hand experiences there. A friend has the older version of the same Thermosight model I have (before they were bought by FLIR) and developed some issues which he had to send in to get fixed and it did, just took a bit of time to get it back. |

Finally finished my hog rig, at the same time my first stamp came back, and have been hooked on hogs ever since:
AR 300 Blackout Pistol Lower: My 80 Lower, POF trigger, SB PDW, Nemo 300 BLK spring Upper: Seekins Precision NX8 8” match Acc: Rugged Obsidian 9, FLIR PTS536 Thermal Ammo: Discreet Ballistics Subsonic 190gr 300BLK Raffle Can “if you don’t rattle can it, it isn’t really yours” The subsonic ammo works great, just waiting on my rifle can to clear so I can go back to supersonic for a bit more range and not having to dope so much at further distances. |
