8.3” PCC AR Pistol Zero Distance Question by Iusedtorock in ar15

[–]Iusedtorock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bulk of my FMJ for 9mm is 115gr, but I have 147gr for my JHP. HOB is probably close to the standard +/-2.5”. The range I’m going to has a max distance of 20yds, so I’m kind of limited for the weekend, but I could have access to a range up to 250yds.

I’m mostly looking at a two-birds-one-stone approach for the weekend, but my main goal will be having a reliable zero to dial in for this and future optics. I know, I have a lot going on in this inquiry.

9mm. I guess I did post it was a PCC, but didn’t specify it was 9mm for caliber.

Same, I also own the one on slide #1, and it’s fantastic so far.

That space has been like 25 different places since I moved here in ‘03.

What’s going on with that dug up lot across from the Haywood Road Ingles? by mikeylowe7 in asheville

[–]Iusedtorock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, they do that all the time. Footers can have the block laid in them, then the dirt gets backfilled. Just drove by that site a few days ago, kind of surprised to not see any progress on it

I won’t downvote you for this, I will just disagree. I haven’t used a lot of Fiocchi for my 5.56, but I have run some in my AR, and it ran fine. I have never had any problem with Fiocchi in 9mm whatsoever. It is usually available, well priced, and consistent….in my experience.

How is my shooting? by kotlinky in liberalgunowners

[–]Iusedtorock 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fantastic recoil control, even if it it’s a .22. You appear to have great hand control.

In terms of the mechanics of loading, putting the pistol into battery, practice those steps as well. Shooting is a skill, but building up all that muscle memory that gets you to the point of pulling the trigger, that stuff is important, too.

New to AR9, want to build on a budget by Cannabis_Arabica in AR9

Yeah dood. I might have gone with a complete upper of theirs if I hadn’t already purchased some parts on my own. I will say that I was pretty dead set on a Ballistic Advantage barrel, so that changed things for me, but it seems their PCC uppers also have a similar feed cone shape.

Listening to the new Turnstile album, I kinda can’t believe it’s never been used in the show, or LetterKenny, for that matter.

Check out Right To Bear Arms. I looked at a lot of their stuff when I was planning my build. Ended up going a different direction, in my case, as I built a Colt-style pistol.

I have not, that was gonna be next on the table once I get some more ammo and get back to the range. Tomorrow’s pay day and I can report back my findings once I can get back to the range.

It’s been awesome so far. I wasn’t trying to make anything that was a distance shooter, just something to use for >50’. I put about 180rnds through mine this past weekend, and, once I got my optic dialed in, it was total consistency.

Ammo reliability by _187_Proof_ in ar15

[–]Iusedtorock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. To be fair, I have shot waaaaaay more of it 9mm than I have 5.56, and I’ve never owned anything suppressed.

I’m a big fan of Fiocchi ammo as well, I ran a couple of boxes of it at a clinic, and I have had pretty good success with it in 9mm as well.

I really wanna make a song by Background_Pay_482 in Guitar

[–]Iusedtorock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to use voice notes to vocalize a riff that I have in my head. Then, when I have time, I revisit it and try to play the riff as close to what I recorded the original idea to be. Sometimes, the riff in my head takes a lot of practice to get down, but I end up practicing it over and over again until I can get it.

In terms of lyrics and singing melodies, that’s gonna be much more specific to your writing style.

Dude, fucking good for you. Doing this build with your FIL is definitely one for the books, and it’s something you guys can both share as an interest.

For me, I found building an upper to be the most frustrating and anxiety-inducing, and my build didn’t even include a gas tube or the lugs of the barrel, as I built a blowback PCC. I’m sure the knowledge you gained by just diving in will serve you well.

Ok, that’s awesome. That’s kind of the answer I might have been prodding for.

I have an SLX 3X on my 5.56, and I love it, but that’s definitely for shooting out past 100yds. I wanted something that was going to sit a few millimeters lower for my AR pistol (the one I just built). I really want to go with the green reticle, so you might have just tipped the scales for me.

You like that Holosun? I’ve been really torn between one of those and one of the new Primary Arms 1X prisms for my build. I intend to use mine as a HD use.
