I have an NC Star Red-Dot. As others have said, it'll work just fine on a pistol or .22 but I wouldn't put it on something that has any real recoil.

You wouldn't training Individual Augmentees by any chance, would you? The NRQC (Navy Rifle Qualification Course) course of fire can be found on page 58 of OPNAVINSTRUCTION 3591.1 OPNAV 3591.1 pdf If you have more specific questions about "the Navy way" I'll do my best to answer.

Thank you for the help I'll post pictures once its built.

@ lipadj46 Yes it is important to me. However I didn't get back from deployment till November and thus I'm buying my first AR in a Post-Obama market. $250 for a complete lower is a damn good deal and I'm willing to comrpomise on the Mil-Spec rating as long as I'm getting a quality product...

Is it safe to assume that a recently made lower/parts-kit will be Mil-Spec? I already told him I'm interested.

I've got an opprotunity to purchase a S&W Lower Reciever and parts kit. How does S&W compare with other manufatcurers, and is there even a differance? I've got my tax refund and the urge to build an M16a1-styled AR.

in response to farmallmta I did a small amount of Counter-Piracy durring my six years so i'll try to answer your questions. 1) A ship's crew must abide by the laws of any country whos water's they enter. Most of the ships crossing the Horn of Africa are coming from or on thier way to Europe...

Moved to San Diego in the service of Uncle Sam, never left. Fun Trivia: The Navy/Marines set up a town in the desert for teaching "Non-Combat Operations". This town is located in a fictional desert country called The PDRC(People's Democratic Republic of California). The Flag is Yellow bear...

Double post, PS: The SH-60 Tactics Manual contained a chart of pre-computed sight adjustments for each flight regime. (Hover, Creep, etc...)

Any shot requiring MOA accuracy will probably be made in a hover or slow creep to minimize turbulence. The wind-speed of the rotor wash will depend on density altitude and collective setting. That said, Airspeed, Altitude, and Angle off Axis have a far greater effect on *POA vs. POI than the...

My experience is with a door mounted machine-gun vice a precision rifle but I don't imagine things changing much. By far hardest thing was holding the gun steady. As usmc1371 pointed out, birds SHAKE, the barrel would catch the rotor wash much as your hand does when held out the window of a...

Seems to me that anyone trying to fire a full-power cartidge from that stance would be liable to hurt themselves.

Had you said Afgahnistan you might have a point, but even there the war is far from lost. As for the orginal question I like this comment... The Civic will get you where you're going but the Camero will make you smile? :D

why is everyone assuming that this is meant for a battlefield environment? To me this seems to be tailor-made for VIP appearances where the individual in question doesn't want to spend the whole event behind 2 inches of ballistic glass.

Because it’s always nice to have a back-up-gun and long arms get kind of clunky when you're carrying two or three of them. It’s also kind of hard to shoot an M4 effectively while dragging a litter.

If we are that's news to me. from what I've seen .308/7.62 NATO is still the standard for the DMR/Recon crowd.

Soapy Water works just fine but Windex comes pre-mixed in a cheap, convient, squirt-bottle. Its also easier to take to the range with you.

add Windex and WD40 to the list then. The Windex to neutralizes the corrosive salts and the WD40 cleans the barrel afterwards. Dry thoroughly and then apply CLP. I shoot a lot of old(corrosive) MilSurp but you woundn't know it looking at my guns.

An advantage to green lights is that they show up well on NVDs wothout "blooming-out" , Our Helicopter's Intruments were all illuminated in green for this reason. This is also why EOTech/Aimpoint offer "Green-Dot" sights. Blue is the standard color for signaling (atleast among Airdales, don't...

They are helpful in a fire, just less so for storing firearms. Wierd things happen inside a sealed container when you heat them. If you are trying to store something that is vulnerable to oxidation(rust), a "fire-safe" vice a "safe-safe" may actualy make things worse. This is usually a...
