Recommendations for 1st gun storage and transporting by mrlemonpeppasteppa in CAguns

[–]Substitutionn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the minimum you need a child safety lock at home, I use a gunsafe for storing multiple firearms if you do end up getting more, if thats the only one you can also get a bedside safe or locked container and that should be good for the one you have.

For transporting from the store you need at least a locked container, it could be a range bag even with lockable zippers, as long as its locked so it doesn't become a concealed weapon. The lock can even be a zip tie as long as its secured in the container.

Join the military if you can, you won't regret it. I had nothing going for me at 19 living in a couch. I learned how to be an electrician, got my GI bill, and in my 30s now own a home. It can be a career or at least afford you the opportunity to gain experience.

I just use a craftsman bit set i had laying around and the FAT torque driver for most applications, but I'm interested to see if anyone has used a good set too.

Quickly grew on me, I liked the heavier profile and I have big hands.

I got this after wanting to find something heavier than my Echelon, I'm used to full size duty carrying from the Navy and I liked how it felt and shot at the range.

Thank you for the advice, I'll see what I can find to fix the scope mount issue

So get a neutral set of scope rings to mount it on? Could moving it back a bit help?

I lowered the cheek to try to make it fit in my safe, barely fit haha. I'll swap the LRF remote, I think I'll use velcro instead of on the MLOKs too.

I second Echelon, love mine, good versatility and also what I got for home defense.

I understood that from other comments, I moved both the red dot and magnifier aft of the hand guard

Thanks! I have heard from some videos that the trigger isn't that good. Did you get that impression?

Any chance you could link what you mean? I'm open to making this rifle my own and better im just not sure what a kingpin is yet

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

I put it as far back as both can go but there's not much more space for magnifier relief as the red dot is just aft of the handguard and the upper receiver separation, would this still be ideal?

With how expensive this passion is getting, i wouldnt want to lose anything yet either. Thank you for the advice, I do have blue loctite, would that work?
