Mall Ninja part 2
a week or so ago i posted a thread about my new AR -- to refresh, it looked like this originally -- all it really needed was a small optical device, maybe a C-More, Holosight, or a conventional 2-7 x 32,
I then totally spazzed out at my local "Tac store" and my once lightweight svelte little carbine has turned into this I guess all it needs now is a 3 cell maglight affixed to the side and some kind of laser on it somewhere Funny how quickly it took to turn this conservative thinking levergun guy into a credit card wielding mall ninja
But seriously --- i think the thing is done, so i will now hustle on to the range and see what a civilian AR will put down on paper. I have XM 193, Rem. UMC, Winchester White Box, and Prvi Partizan all loaded into separate magazines so i can see what factory load works the best. Range results will be posted as soon as i can

Re: Mall Ninja part 2
Don't expect spectacular results with those ammo choices. They should be reasonably accurate, but not match-level by any stretch. Not that there is anything wrong with it either.

You have a long way to go before you can call that thing tricked out.

The only thing left to do now is to stealth-out (camo) that all black silhouette! Oh and by the way, you can't just stick a Mag-Lite on there it, it has to be a $300 Streamlight!

Re: Mall Ninja part 2
Don't laugh. My AR became far more PRACTICAL (not necessarily synonymous with 'tactical') when we added the flashlight and laser. You can try shooting feral dogs or coyotes just after dark with a 'conventional' setup all you want, but with the 3 watt LED light and a laser, you can actually SEE what you're supposed to be shooting at, which seems to help quite a bit vs. just guessing.Streetstar wrote: I guess all it needs now is a 3 cell maglight affixed to the side and some kind of laser on it somewhere
If I could easily mount a light and laser on a .357 Mag Levergun, THAT would be my coyotes-at-night gun of choice, but since the AR already has all those rails and so on, it is easier to just fix one of them up. I just don't care for the loudness, muzzle flash, and flinging brass of the semiauto, but haven't [yet] figured how to make my little Puma .357 set up with a light and laser. Not 'traditional' but neither am I; a 'traditional' cowboy would probably be out all night prowling around to protect the livestock. I'd rather get it over quickly, and go inside to sleep!

Re: Mall Ninja part 2
I'm not expecting match grade results -- i'll get into that when the factory stuff is all gone and its time to reload (when the price of small primers comes down, that is) ------- heck, its not a match grade rifle ---- i think the stuff is probably evenly matched to the rifle's capabilities. The stock trigger is mil-spec (heavy but reliable) and the barrel is as big around as my pinky ---- as JREEd said, it is a light "walking varmint" rifle.Otto wrote:Don't expect spectacular results with those ammo choices.

I'm hoping it will keep 3 shots within 2" at 100, but we'll see

I may have seen this one at the last gun show i went to ! --- love the key ring holder on the pistol grip.
In the real world, is it the G3 , Galil or Fal that has the beverage opener? I thought one actually did --- as glorified in the movie "Deal of the Century" with Chevy Chase

The bottle opener is on the G-3.

I thought it was the Galil. I think it was actually something to do with opening ammo cans but got turned into a bottle opener?JustaJeepGuy wrote:The bottle opener is on the G-3.

Re: Mall Ninja part 2
I'm going to say 1.5" with letting the barrel cool enough between shots. Try some Black Hills blue box through it, it'll make you happy!
