There I deleted the shit lol
That being said, you should have pictures of your firearm with the serial number clearly visible and readable in case you ever have to use it for self defense and the police try to disappear it from their evidence locker
because they fucking will
If it has a serial number >.>
Serial numbers?
Who the hell has serial numbers?
Guns? Who has guns
I lost all mine
etch dickbutt in the side of it and take a picture of that. Tell the pigs that's your personal serial number
Dickbutt will be our own Killroy
Been designing a rifle to build for my fiance lately. She's tiny and a bit timid when it comes to firearms, so I've been working on finding the right balance of weight, size, and gas system length. Likely gonna put a noveske pig on it to direct the blast away since that's the main thing that bothers her when shooting
Midlength 14.5 shoots pretty soft with an A5 buffer kit. My GF likes it a lot
So far what I'm looking at is:
receiver set I already have from aero, no forward assist
g$ trigger I already have - about 4.5lbs
sba3 brace of course
Faxon 11.5 mid length with adjustable gas block
13" carbon fiber mlok handguard I already have
Noveske kx3 (which at a little over 3" just peeks out from the handguard)
jp captured standard buffer to smooth out the recoil more
bcm grip I have, might look into slimmer grips if it's comfortable for her smol hands
might put a handstop on there or something, mostly for safety
I have an 11.5 ar already which feels like it'd be just her size, but it's a bit heavier duty due to the g$ rail, huey, flip magnifier, and flashlight. Given that my 16" build with a similar barrel and same handguard weighs about 5 pounds before optics, should be super handy for her
might go with a trijicon 1x42 reflex sight because it doesn't have a power switch or anything for her to worry about, just point and shoot
Who has experiance in nvgs looking for something weapon mountable
I believe the pvs14 is weapon mountable and good to go
@Bif I have a 308 rated scope for sale atm
USNV gen 3 autogated tube
Also if you go for the PVS14 you might as well use a helmet mount no real reason to use a unit like that and spend that $$$ to mount it
mounting I think is best with magnified optics
Yes PVS14 can be weapon mounted you mount it behind a red dot and in front of a magnified optic an instructor I took several classes with used that setup with an ACOG when he was deployed and said he fealt like he was cheating
JRH enterprises has good prices on PVS14s. As far as something weapon mounted thermal works better pulsar makes a good unit for 1800
Thermal is very good for hunting but NVGs are better for identifying your target
Thermal is great for detection
NV is identification
Plenty of hunters use a mix of both to identify animals at longer ranges or in foliage
sounds like a very heavy rifle. I could see doing something like that to a mounted weapon I guess, but I don't have much experience when it comes to that
@Artemis it would have to be a very purpose driven rifle
I've watched a bunch of tod Huey's hog hunting videos they use nods to navigate and thermals for their optics because a target is easier to ID with thermal than nods according to him
Thermal has its place, but TNVC has a full color adapter for pvs14s.
My mext big purchase will be a PVS 14 i live on a piece of rural property now our power went out from a tornado and I was sitting by my living room window wishing I had nods don't want to be there in a more strenuous situation
@Red [neck] tech hunting animals and military targets are different
especially when they'll be similarly equiped
Good point I took a class where we were moving aound at night couple guy had nods guy in the other group that was following us left his active IR on guys in our group that had them said it looked like we were being chased by a freight train
XD
would carry, ngl
I was never fond of how a glock looked honestly
I haven’t either but that’s legit
Only sidearm I’ve seen that I like is a Sig M17
I don't really like the look or feel of glocks but I respect them. Eventually I'd like to get one
Not a glock guy. Love my CZ
