Laphroaig, I owe you an apology... I was dead wrong. It's my own AR, and I failed to realize the front sight IS ADJUSTABLE!!!! I suppose I never saw the post on the front sight because I slapped a scope on the AR the minute I got it home... so I never used the irons. My mistake... thank you for...
My front sight doesn't have an adjustable post. My other AR has that, but the one I'm talking about does NOT.
My mistake, I should have included a picture in my original post. I'll do that in a few minutes.
One of my AR-15's is a Springfield Armory Saint. It came with iron sights, the front being a normal A-frame. At some point I removed the rear sight and put on a scope. The other day I removed the scope and wanted to put the rear sight back on, but I couldn't find it in my AR15 parts box! I don't...
Hello twofewscrews, yes my prism scopes work fantastic, my only gripe is the short eye relief just like a normal scope. That factor is true of my high-quality German-made Steiners, and my cheap chinese-made Swampfox.
Truth is, I'd gladly just keep them if it wasn't for the eye relief thing. I...
Interesting thread! I came here to post some of my observations about red dot sights and astigmatism, and I found this thread.
I became interested in red dots because of my astigmatism. For years and years now, I've noticed that when driving at night that the traffic lights have the...
Thanks for the thoughtful observations, Viper1357. Your comments just seem to confirm my suspicions. The whole reason I was considering the RM05G was almost entirely because of the large green dot. But once I realized it's powered by a tritium capsule and the weird-looking strap across the sides...
After watching bits of the video you referenced, and also one or two others, I realized how simple it is to get a clear image from the Teslong borescope. All that is needed is to use the little collar as a kind of lock-nut underneath the mirror. I was able to get a crystal-clear image of my...
That's interesting. I tried using the mirror with and without the collar, and the image seemed blurry both ways. I think I'm doing something wrong. Would you please reply with a link to the videos you watched?
My observations are only from my first attempt to use it, so obviously I have some...
Update - I just got one of the 26" Teslong rigid rifle borescope. THIS ONE. It's simple to operate, and I inspected the bores on both of my .223/5.56 AR-15's. Turns out my cleaning routine is good, which is what I wanted to know.
Couple of things I noticed, the focus is less than ideal. Very out...
I run a Glock 19.5MOS for my EDC. I'm strongly considering switching to a Trijicon RMR dual-illuminated RM05G, with a 9MOA green dot. Does anyone here have personal experience with any of the Dual-Illuminated series? I have just a couple of questions about them.
I'm currently using a Holosun...
Hey FAS1, believe it or not, I looked into ordering one of their guitar case builds! I think they do a great job, but they're too expensive for me. I do keep the company bookmarked as a source of foam rubber sheets, though.
And guess what, there's another company I found who does the same thing...
Thanks RMH! Bravo on a great job! The pictures you took really made it crystal clear how you connected all the parts. I had a random thought myself... if I build one of those, for the top work surface I might use whatever that material is that you use for kitchen countertops. Thank you again!
Many thanks for that, RMH. Thanks especially for providing actual links to the Nichrome wire and the transformer that you used.
I'm hoping you post a few more pictures, as well.
Please accept my application to join your fan club! In all seriousness, that's a great setup. I have a couple of questions, though.
1. In your first picture, is the "L" bracket that supports the wire able to be tilted at an angle? Straight up and down is great, but it seems like the option to...
Hey thanks guys! BigBL87, the previous thread you referred to is a goldmine. Like both of you said, the cube "pick & pluck" stuff can fall apart over time - I've had that happen with other projects, but I didn't think about cutting individual sheets. The Kaizen stuff looks to be just what the...
I'm trying to convert a guitar case into an AR-15 case. Can anyone here tell me where I can buy the kind of foam rubber that pulls apart into little cubes? I'm going to need to get chunks of the stuff large enough so I can make it form-fit into both of the halves of the case, and then start...
I'm getting used to using a dot on a couple of my Glocks, and I really like 'em.
In choosing a dot, I've found a wide choice of dot sizes available. I kept wondering, okay, how big would a given dot size translate to my sight picture at a given distance?
So I went and built a small calculator...
