NWI INGO General Post - Part 13

[actaeon277]

Since no one wanted to Meet & Shoot, I decided to pop my AR cherry today: https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...**official-ingo-lower-ar-build-thread***.html

Too much going on the weekend for me to shoot.

No we run just the cable, no ends. Then we terminate with jacks in closet n desk. Patch cable then used from desk to pc or closet to switches or servers.

I wish I could convince them to do that. But I'm running stuff to field applications, such as a single stand alone machine. They won't by the stuff to do that.

That I can do. It's grunt work. What I've done my entire life.
Try it in a steel mill.

No thank you. But suspect it may be easier in a steel mill then in an office environment paper wise.
What I mean by that is before we can even open the floor we have to fill out some many paperforms, inform the union, put up safety cones, block off the area, ensure their are signs posted, etc... It's an admin nightmare!

They use to run male connectors to male connectors 10 years ago where I am at. What they found is that the users are very destructive and with all the moving of the desktops or deliberate attempt to cut/break/damage the cables so they can not work they started putting female jacks on both ends and then just running patch cords from floor/furniture to pc/laptop.

That was way before my time.

I'm going with Dad and his buddy to his local Conservation Club to send some lead down range next weekend anyway. Now I have another toy to break in.

Christ. What happened in the demotte area? About 5 squads flew by at triple digits with numerous fire engines and tankers behind

Barn fire in a secluded area with a surprisingly large number of people there. Apparently there was no hay in the barn, and no electricity run to the barn, just a bunch of people and a fully involved structure.

 

[CTC B4Z]

love the wording 'fully involved structure"

Well Jedi, I'll see if I can't arrange a gate pass so you can see the OSHA nightmare we have to deal with.
Though, when I pull floor panels in an empty computer room, I don't rope it off.

I had to install a hand rail on a staircase I was tearing down when we dismantled a warehouse mezzanine. WTF OHSA!?!

Let's talk 5.56. Now that I've added another caliber to the collection , I'm looking for opinions on good target ammo (not match) and defense (ex. For my AK, I have FMJ target and HP defense which you can find for identical prices). What are good/average prices per round? Is green tip worth the investment? Etc.
Feel free to throw in optic ideas and mag preferences (where the Magpul gen m3 locks in solid) as that is on the horizon too.

 

[KLB]

Optics are going to depend upon what you intend to use the rifle for and what your budget is.

Probably a Lenwood/Hi-Lux CMR4 riflescope like on my AK is where I am leaning.

 

[rosejm]

Most of the target/bulk ammo that I've used has all been 2-4 MOA regardless of maker/type. XM193 (FMJ 55gr) and XM855 (Steel-core 62gr) are pretty much the same, though many ranges have rules about steel cored rounds. Not worth any extra money IMO...

You can find some decent 'match' ammo that's not $1.00+/round (CBC/Magtech ~$0.50) and it's been far more consistent in my experience. 1-2 MOA if you do your part.

You might want to look at this one in that price range. Refurb Vortex with full Warranty.

[Snapdragon]

Does anyone in the Crown Point area want an RCA 32" tube TV that works fine? Free to a good home. Also have a couple of smaller ones.

 

[Snapdragon]

Also, has anyone in NW Indiana done any business with D&C Fence lately? They did our fence for us and we need to contact them.

Another slow day here.

Cleaned up my new AR and got ready to attach my MBUS sights...and the rear sight did not have the retention screw. You had 1 job Magpul!

Started my 5.56 collection today. The IMI sale, in-store coupon that expires today, along with points and discounted gift cards was a plus at Cabela's. Our son enjoyed his 1st trip as we meandered through the taxidermy and fish tanks up to the shooting section.

Boy am I sick of blowing my nose and hacking up little green and brown aliens. A solid night sleep is the goal tonight.
