A1 style sights but know I need to use the “L” marked sight for 25M. Now my question with is should I use an “A1 zeroing target” or a “M4 zeroing target” or just make do with an A2 target, now I know these targets make the rifles accurate to 300M+ but I plan on shooting up to 25-75 yards at the most since I will be hunting with it this fall in the woods and don’t need a .308 with a scope that can see what color underwear a flea is wearing at 300 yards. So any help will be appreciated.

I just got a Dieter grip for my A2 Carbine and the ARMS Scope Mount is uncomfortably high since I’m scrapping the Surefire tape switch. I’ll use the Dieter grip tape switch pocket for the OTAL, and activate the Surefire M962 with my thumb.
I wonder if Mr. LT would consider a special run of “left handed” battle lights for us left handed shooters out there that want to keep the bottom rail open for a bipod Scope Mount (like his).

If you are looking for a good magnification system at a good price, try the LaRue Tactical 2.5X PoBoy Special. Combined the Eotech 512 and the PoBoy takes up a good deal of rail space being the only major drawback experienced to date. It has taken some effort to zero the unit but once “on” it is really “dead on.” youngsta 11/13/2008 11:30:40 PM EST my buddy just bought a Eotech 512 from the px a couple weeks back. we took his new rig out to the range once and now he wants a magnified scope instead. he’s offering to sell it to me for $200 and it’s a mint piece. I don’t really need an EOTech now, but know it will come in handy down the road. should i go ahead and buy it just b/c he’s selling it so cheap? dlstarcher 11/14/2008 12:09:00 AM EST I would, I havent found one under $350 GTwannabe 11/14/2008 1:20:46 AM ESTBy youngsta: my buddy just bought a Eotech 512 from the px a couple weeks back. we took his new rig out to the range once and now he wants a magnified scope instead. he’s offering to sell it to me for $200 and it’s a mint piece.

My first impression was do they really work because it was so easy to understand coworkers and intercom pages, so I had to turn the volume off just to compare. They are very comfortable, I have a 50 percent hearing protection loss and this is my fourth Brand that I have purchased, so far these are working the best.

What is your preferred AR-15 Stocks position setting and why (besides “it’s comfortable”)?

For me, fully collapsed (position 0) seems to close and tucked in for comfort but it doesn’t seem like it’s anything that I can’t adjust to. Unfortunately, military small-arms training is limited and I’ve never had the time to reposition the sights/optics (and re-zero) on my duty weapon to complement different AR-15 Stocks positions. I have never set it beyond 2 notches from fully collapsed as it felt too far.

When I was assigned an M4 w/M203, I almost always kept it fully collapsed. The M203 completely threw off the balance of the M4 and it’s far easier to maintain the high-ready position for a longer period of time with the AR-15 Stocks fully collapsed.

There are recently imported Yugo’s out there for around $279. Knowing how cheap they used to be I balk at the price but I’ve never heard anything bad about them.

ETA: Just found VG Yugo 59/66s at Samco for $259 and Excellent for $299. SOG may have some on their site, I don’t have time to look right now.

I’ve had 3 different SKS’s. A type 56 Norinco, a 59/66 Yugo, and a type 45 Russian (Tula). The only one worth anything was the Russian. I sold the other 2 and kept the “52 Tula. Russian SKS’s are in the $450 – $600 range here in SW Florida. At the last fun show, July ????, a guy had a ’54 Tula for $450 that was pretty nice.
My Russian goes bang every time. It’s reliable and accurate. Save your money and get a Russian. You won’t be sorry.

The Yugo 56/66 model is ok and right now Cabelas has a bunch on sale for $199.00, but I have never been a fan of them. Now if you can score a Yugo 59, they are sweet shooters but may cost you a little more. The Russian and Romanian I think are some of the nicest out there and I just put a Russian on layaway for $319, which is a decent price, but not great. I bought it to replace my other Russian that has a mismatched mag/floorplate.

Typical russians in the midwest are going in the $400 range with Romainians in the high 3′s.

Check the equipment exchange often for deals as Christmas is coming and people will start unloading some stuff.

I had a hell of a time with mine, until I got all of the gunk out of the gas system.

After that, NOTHING stops it. It’s also reasonably accurate, for what it is. I’m perfectly happy with it.

While I’d love to buy more at prices from several years back, $250-300 is still a pretty good deal for what you’re getting. A reliable, 10 round, semi-auto rifle that is built like a tank.

Russian all the way.

kcolg30 regularly visits their website and transfers monies via CC to the great people in TX. In turn they ship me perfection items. kcolg30 and other members support LaRue Tactical due to their great customer service and outstanding products.

LaRue Tactical is good people.(West Bridgewater, MA) – The matter of Atlantic Research Marketing Systems, Inc. v Austin Precision Products, Inc. d/b/a LaRue Tactical, United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Civil Action No. 1:09-cv-10034(DPW), was settled and dismissed with prejudice. LaRue Tactical has taken a fully paid up, royalty free license under U.S. Trademark Registration Nos. 3,466,163 and 3,478,909.

I love the sewn-in sling swivels – made the price almost a wash compared with ordering a padded sling & swivel separately, and I got a hat & another ‘dillo along with the satisfaction of having more LT gear.

Still no Dillo Dust after a couple orders, though. Is there a certain amount you have to spend before getting any? So I am looking into my first AR15 purchase and after some great feedback from the AR15.com community, I have my heart set on LaRue.

In reviewing, I found the LaRue Tactical OBR 5.56 18″ to really catch my eye, then later found the LaRue Tactical PredatAR 5.56 18″ – though I see some of the differences in the features tab, I wanted to get some feedback from the LaRue Tactical community on the real major differences.

I have at least a few thond rounds through several different SKS Rifle Stocks rifles and have never experienced a slam fire.

Just realize that the possibility exists and maintain proper muzzle discipline and it should never be a problem.

Keep and eye out for them on gun broker also.

Ordered mine about a year ago and am still waiting on it. The company, Shernic Gun Works, said that they are behing but still shipping. I’m waiting patiently.

Does Mesa Tactical support this site? No Buy from Cav Arms. Great bunch of guys and Mesa Tactical is just selling a copy of their product. MudBug 12/11/2004 7:19:22 PM I’ll buy from who ever makes one that works with ghost ring sights first. and if Cavarms doesn’t hurry then I just might have to buy one from StockShox and then it will be their fault I looks like a sissy.

That works with your existing ghost ring sights?….we will never make a model that does. Mesa Tactical, Knoxx, Sotck Shoxx, and Argonaut Armament all have models that allow you to do this

One neighbor came out and is a fellow shooter that shoots squirrels in his back yard. The others wouldn’t know the difference between this and an Airsoft gun.
KimberTLE45:
Aimpoints typically allow for faster target aquisition the further forward you run them. People get too caught up in the hunting rifle eye relief, your T-1 should be further forward (like as far forward as you can Scope Mount it on your upper receiver) an be sure that you index it prior to tightening to ensure your zero is retained.

Ill have to move it. This is my first red dot so thanks for the tip.

The rear sight should be back as far as possible.

The red dot position is personal preference. You’ll find people that swear it needs to be all
