    AR Pistol - low profile iron sights

    I took the Pinty to the range and fired ~75 rounds. It did fine once I get it zeroed.

    AR Pistol - low profile iron sights

    Amazon.com : Pinty Red Green Reflex Rifle Scope Dot Sight 4 Different Reticles : Sports & Outdoors I haven't tried it out yet so I have no idea if it will hold up...but it's $20 with free returns if you are a Prime member. I've found the phrase you get what you pay for to be (almost)...

    AR Pistol - low profile iron sights

    That caught my eye but it is expensive and, from what I can tell, does not have a corresponding front sight. We're looking at what it will take to machine a simple front and rear sight pair. Looks like more trouble than it's worth. I ended up with a $20 "AMZN special" Pinty. It has mixed...

    AR Pistol - low profile iron sights

    Bummer - that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the input.

    AR Pistol - low profile iron sights

    I'm looking for recommendations on low profile sights for an AR pistol build. I really like the CZ Scorpion sights but can't find a set - and the price looks pretty steep. I may end up with a cheap red dot. That's not the end of the world, but I'd like to avoid electronics if practical. Any...

    Arming An Aircraft - Part II

    What if the mounts were part of the original design (P-51, P-47, etc.) and it's just a matter of simply re-installing equipment. No surgery required. Old Bonanzas, for example, had an optional flare launcher to mark landing areas for night landings. I can restore a Bonanza with these fittings...

    Arming An Aircraft - Part II

    The previous thread was closed. I'm new here, so maybe there was a reason but I could not find an explanation anywhere. Not that I'm owed one, just sayin'. The Federal Aviation Regs, to my knowledge (~20 years flying planes for fun, as an instructor, and commercially as a line pilot...

    Talk me out of a CZ P10C

    I found a deal on some parts to build something I've wanted for quite a while. My P10x GunFunds™ were allocated to the build. It was a crime of opportunity and I do not regret it. But I have settled on a P10C and am putting one in the safe as soon as finances allow.

    I read the rules and will approach the mods after we've been contributing members for some time. Or maybe not. I don't know. We'll see.

    Talk me out of a CZ P10C

    I'm looking for a striker fired poly frame. The 01, 07, and 09 are fine guns. I want all of them! They're just not what I'm looking for right now.

    Talk me out of a CZ P10C

    I just got to handle a P10S and a P10M (~1hr ago). The P10S is interesting. My pinky finger sits right at the end of the grip and wants to slide off. I really hate that feeling but I can probably train it away so it's not necessarily a deal breaker. The M is just a bit too small for me. I...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    20rds of Frontier 125gr FMJ 300BLK to chrono and compare to other brands.

    Talk me out of a CZ P10C

    And then I'm sure I'll need another holster for my CZ75B too - Midway only offers free shipping of orders over a certain amount you know. And while I'm there I should pick up a Lee die set for 308...I've been meaning to do that. Well, shoot I may as well buy the brass and some 168 A-Max...

    Buying a ghost gun before the ban

    Mine still isn't quite right. I'm no gunsmith but I'm decent with tools and can follow directions. I have the Judah slide and the spring/rod seem kind of mickey mouse. The striker arrived broken (supplier fixed it quickly and at no cost; +1 to them). The first round or two out of a full...

    Buying a ghost gun before the ban

    The way our IOI explained it to us, when the authorities locate a gun they can easily track down the gun to the first A&D book in most cases. The FFL opens the book, shows them the entry, and the ATF moves on to the buyer. The original buyer may have reported it stolen, may have sold it, may...

    Buying a ghost gun before the ban

    Following on to this, the handwavey news editorials about a crazy person finishing a P80 build in an hour are nonsense. No way is it getting done in an hour to anything resembling a functional state with hand tools on the first try. There's something about milling out a lower receiver that...

    What's Your Favorite 9mm Pistol to Shoot?

    CZ75B, hands down. I've shot a lot of handguns and, while I'm not expert in any sense of the word, I keep ending up at the trusty CZ75B in 9mm. There's a lot to like about it. It's a heavy all-steel, full sized wonder nine with decades of service around the world. I carried mine in the Jeep...

    Talk me out of a CZ P10C

    I am a CZ fanboy. I'm not ashamed of it. I have a 75B that is just a joy to shoot. I picked up a CZ 557 along the way and it's definitely a better shot that I am (for now). Now I'm having visions of a carry gun and the CZ P10C looks like a really good choice. I walked into a local gun store...

    New member - first post. Long time lurker though. I've gotten back in to shooting over the last 18mo or so. Owned an M1A, Mini-14, and the obligatory Mosin as my first gun ($89 @ Big 5...remember those days?) - sold them all in 2015 or so. I've been slowly restocking and it's been fun. I...
