Do you lack the critical thinking skills needed to figure out how to hotlink?

Are you getting a dust cover? I know for range shooting it isn’t necessary but it is satisfying to check the chamber and then flip that dust cover closed.

Here is my build that I have been working on for years, this is my first and only AR. It's been shootable in various configs for 3 years now (I had an 18" 3-gun barrel on it when first built, thinking it would be a do-all precision/etc rifle) but now I think I have it how I want it for a "home defense" setup, which is the role it is now firmly entrenched in.
My goal is to not make any more changes to it until I have gone through a 6-hour defensive carbine course at a local shooting range. The same range hosts Gunsite's only "satellite location" handgun course so I am fairly sure a course there should be pretty good. I've never had any real training, and to be honest have not even broke in this rifle, probably less than 250 rounds through it (first and second barrel combined). I spent the last 2 days watching youtube and FINALLY, got the VTAC sling adjusted and mounted in a way that is super comfortable to me. I hated the thing since I bought it. Learning yesterday that I could undo the velcro tab and make it even tighter was what finally pushed it over the top for me, until that time I thought I just couldn't have it both adjusted for "loose enough" and "tight enough" at the same time. I spent the last 90 mins moving the tape switch from 12 oclock to 11. It is much more comfortable for me to use this way and I can activate it with my fingertips if I switch to my weak hand. This required me to install an extra picatinny rail section which adds weight, I didn't want to commmit to the VHB 3M tape yet. The rifle seems pretty heavy for what it is. 7 lb 14 oz unloaded. Not quite sure what I can do there as far as 16" barrels go, maybe that is the price to pay for the light and optic. The Samson Evolution rail is fairly light for it's length class. If I was going to re-build it, I definitely would go with an MLOK rail setup, I have grown to dislike working on the Evo. ALG EMR probably in my future at some point, I would be able to save some oz by switching pic sections to magpul polymers. I need to get used to zip ties on a rifle...

Shoot 3" circles from 5 yards away until you can do it automatically from low ready. Then do it faster. Then do it farther out. Rinse, repeat. |

I had only put three rounds in the magazine, because that is what you do. The cool thing was that you couldn't hear the individual shots. It cycled so fast that it sounded like one long shot. So I guess no cycling issues, FTF, FTE, etc. We ran a few single rounds through it to sight it in and called it a day. I still have to move the fore grip and bipod back and flip the bipod around. Not to mention re-drilling the FCG holes and doing some trigger work on it. Edit : OK, how do I get the images to display inline and not as links? Edit : how do you get a sig? View Quote |

That which does not kill you has made a tactical error.
There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload'. |
