Colt's reputation has kinda gone down the drain
Over priced bare bones
Just buy a BCM at that point
Their LPK’s are still correct, that’s what we were talking about
@Artemis >TFB. 😒
It's on my computer at home so i don't have it with me but i had a meme that said something along the lines of
Psa is just as good as colt, so buy a solgw instead
Tfb is okay. They can be a bit clickbaity but usually on dual articles or videos like "why the ak is better than the ar / why the ar is better than the ak"
Not my first source but they're well produced
Yeah those are awesome
Kinda weird how it seems the best articles are written by random dudes on forums. No big website, just some scientist's post about ballistics and whatnot
You talking about DocGKR?
Well they're one but not them specifically
Whomstdve
Just curious
Just provided some kid a year of clean drinking water by purchasing a 3 pack of life straws.. been reading up on these for the past few hours. Decided they are a good thing to have. Anyone have any experience with them?
I remember when they were designed and featured in popular science. Haven't heard anything bad about them
Does anyone have experience in the AR platform while being cross eye dominant? I’m right handed all the way but left eye dominant. I’ve grown up shooting right handed weapons with my left hand no problem. I got my first AR about 8 years ago but I’ve only ever done the basic target shooting but I would like to take some carbine courses and get my skills up. I’m looking for suggestions on ambi controls and techniques on running right handed ARs as a lefty in a tactical sense. I need to get better all around but particularly in speeding up my manipulation of the weapon and transitioning between targets.
I'm right handed and left eye dominant. I just run a red dot or a scope and put the dot/ crosshair on the target with both eyes open and it works fine
It really doesn't affect anything, just train through it and make sure your bullets go where you want
Right on, I’ve always felt strange/slightly uncomfortable with both eyes open through a scope. I have switched to a red dot recently and I’m getting comfortable with both eyes open left handed. I guess I may need to just work it right handed and get used to it that way
I’d rather not run lefty if I can avoid it, although it should help me when going off handed
@Artemis how tf do you do that
I'm cross dominate too, but I can't do that, I have to have one eye squinted to get it to focus on my right eye
I'm gonna practice both handed, but wish I could switch eyes lol
Dots are good for people with eye dominance issues. With both eyes open, even if you see 4 dots, just put them on the target. They'll always be on target even if your eyes are lying to you.
If it's irons, I just focus on the front sight post and it turns into one. If it's my holosight, they're both on the same plane so it doesn't matter, and scopes I just focus on the reticle and it turns into one
You just have to focus on the sight hard, then stick it on the fuzzy blob that is your target, and your rounds will go there every time. With red dots you're able to focus on the target which is kinda nice, though it has its drawbacks as its easier for the brain to process putting a sight in the center of a fuzzy blob. We're actually incredibly good at finding the center of things.
An exercise that will help you is called the Brock String
doesn't really matter what order the colors are, as long as they're different colors
you should be able to snap between beads almost instantly
Weighing a few options, I've found out about Howa. Supposedly built more solidly than Tikka but both are good. What caught my eye is that you can buy Howa barreled actions, and as I'm planning on dropping the action into an LSS gen 2 stock, it seems like it may be the better choice as I'd be saving around $400 by not having a spare Tikka stock
Seems smart, I had looked at doing that at one point
seems the only minor issue is that with howa, since it's a flat bottom action, only MDT polymer magazines will work with the chassis, unlike all the others which use AICS magazines
>.> why is it that after wwii, Japan started making all the stuff that Americans like, but better than most? Whisky, blue jeans, bolt actions?
