NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

[squirrelhntr]

That's part of being a kid with growing pains and learning to spread our wings to fly in all directions at the same time and learning how to survive the crash landings.

some parts of that part of the river back then were thick wooded and marsh land really natural looking. we would raft it and build forts. we thought we were the N.W. Indiana ancient Indian tribes. rabbit and squirrel hunt make fires cook what we caught. definitely was a learning experience.

I hate it when they confirm that they have my package...

Although I guess that is from being raised on the internet....

but in all seriousness.... are you coming back to the land of the free or still working across the thin red line ?

good luck anyways...

As long as you started . . .

He also needs to lower thar optic, its way too high. No way to get a cheek weld with the optic lifted up on that riser rail OVER the front sight.

He mounted the optic on a rail that is mounted on the top rail?!? The optic is designed to co-witness with the front sight (and a rear sight) not be elevated over the top of the sight so the sight can't be used.

As it is set up, the front sight is unusable and a waste of money and just added weight. And if he listens to your good advice, a rear sight will also be unusable and a waste of money too.

Actually the weapon (Bushmaster Carbon-15) came with the optic set up that way and with the front site it's aligned perfectly with the red dot (yes its been sighted in)

That being said I do plan on getting a rear site just Blythe's didn't have any in the OD green when I got the front sight and also gonna get a new optic. Like I said almost done... Just a little bit more to go and I'll be happy

I do appreciate the input though just had to clear some things up

Like duh actual in downtown chicago sadly

 

[gunbunnies]

You will still be a prisoner over there then. I thought you were trying to better yourself, lol...

Dcat, you can try Blythe in valpo, sand burr gun ranch in Rochester Indiana offers quality training also. Dennis is a great instructor and he hosts training throughout the year with farhnum and ayoob spelling isn't right. There is also a local front sight instructor who offers training about twice a month... pm me for more information.

I figured it was lower 1/3 tbh, never though it would be absolute cowit. Either way I do agree that it is rather high and should be lowered for a better cheek weld. What is the actual optic? Might be ok until you can spring for something high end. Would also be able to give you mount solutions if we knew.

I still don't believe its possible it can be set up to co-witness on that riser rail.

 

[maddawg138]

I honestly have no clue the type of optic.... No markings on it at all or even the box it came in. Its just a cheap red dot.

But honestly I have no problem with cheek weld when firing....feels just like the m16 I fired when I was in the Army.

I keep thinking I need (want) to buy a new firearm... for no reason, of course. Maybe I need an intervention. I don't even know what I want to buy; I just want to buy something.

 

[Snapdragon]

I want to buy a long gun. Dcat91 can't PM until 50 posts.

What are you looking for? If you haven't decided yet, try to make it to the March meet and shoot. I'll have a few for you to try out.

 

[bradmedic04]

I have a couple long guns that could go, probably. PM me with your interests. Mayhaps I can help.

Side note, looks like the Bra Medic family is going to have another addition of the human variety. I'll be sure to post tons of pics for SadClown.

Are you trying to get more of our hard earned stolen tax dollars?

 

[Snapdragon]

Congratulations, Bra Medic!

Not even sure what I want first. Whatever it is, it will be of the dinosaur variety because I'm auto-phobic like that. Pump shotgun might be nice. Or a rifle--maybe a .223 or .308. Does the price of rifle ammo stay pretty constant as far as which calibers are cheaper? Price of ammo is probably going to be a factor.

Maybe I should get this Mossberg. https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo.../334280-mossberg-maverick-88-26in-barrel.html $200 for a rusty gun with unknown round count that was bought used 13 years ago and can be bought new for $199.

No shotguns I'm guessing... lol. Still got those shells for me?
