Bought one of these cheapie 2 MOA red dot sights for my AR M4-ish carbine.  It's a knockoff of an Aimpoint M3, made by a company called Primary Arms & gets awesome reviews.  I got the high cantilever mount and may at some point get a 3x magnifier for it.



Now I just gotta train my eyes to use the red dot and not confuse myself with the front iron sight.  It has multiple reticles but I'll probably just use the dot.  Have a Magpul MBUS rear sight on order to replace the LMT sight, which I moved to my A3-ish rifle.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Full auto shotguns don't interest me in the slightest.

A Tommy gun on the other hand looks so retro-future it hurts. The 1928 may be the most beautiful gun ever made.

Oh, it's definitely nice.  For home defense a 1911 would just be a lot more practical.

In terms of submachinegun aesthetics, the MP5 is where it's at IMO.

Got both ARs pretty much how I want them.  On top is the 20" with the A2 stock I installed today and the LMT rear sight.  Decided against getting a detachable carry handle for now.  It needs a sling, obviously.

On bottom is the 16" mid-length with the polymer lower and the red dot sight I got a couple weeks ago.  It's folded down so it's hard to see, but I also have the Magpul back-up rear sight on there.  I may get crazy & buy a 4x magnifier to put behind the red dot sight.

I haven't shot the 20" rifle yet, but I put 200 rounds through the 16".  No issues at all and it seems like it's at least as accurate as I am.  I zeroed it in 9 shots but pretty much had it zeroed after 6.



That pretty much satisfies the AR itch I had.  Now I kinda miss having an AK :hmm:

I have my holster now.  Crossbreed Supertuck.  So far I like it, though it's still definitely in the breaking-in phase. :cool:

It is far too easy for people like you to get firearms in this country.

I think I'm going to retire the .38 to the gun safe. So it can be handed down when the time is right.

My Dad said the same thing, but it's the only one my Mom has the strength to pull the trigger on.

and fuck your new age plastic bullshit.  :P




Neat.  Is that one of the ones from WWI?  I think the Germans complained that it was a war crime to use it.  I imagine a shotgun would be formidable in trench warfare.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yah, that looks like the ol' 1897 trench broom.  And the Germans bitched about it as a war crime, which was pretty fucking funny coming from them.  YOU WANT MUSTARD WITH THAT

I need to get a good aimpoint for the SR. When I got the rifle, I fired 30 rounds through it and stuck it under the bed. Been there ever since. Just pull it out once a month to do maintenance.
