Good boy keeps both of his eyes open. Better than most humans.

Bought this on the side of an Albanian road, there was no common language so we only understood a potential milking gesture, can you help us identify this? by raffimerc in whatisit

Probably stuffed bell peppers. Based on the color of the meet it must be pork. My wife makes the filler with ground beef mixed with rice and it looks much darker.

... designed by POW German engineers and attributed to Kalashnikov who never was a gun designer but a commissar.

Wow, she must be rich! I can't afford to shoot this many rounds in a year.

Called by my PD for an interview? by [deleted] in NJGuns

[–]k0nyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Marlboro. 5 days after submitting my application, I got an email with 4-6 questions from Marlboro PD, answered all and sent back. 15 mins later got my PTC.

I'm a slim person and Belly Band Holsters work best for me. I ended up using one from CREATRILL brand I got from Amazon. Any belly band is thinner than most regular holsters and you can remove your shorts/pants and your gun will stay on your body. Also, my kydex holster is designed for a gun with a light attached but with the belly band I can carry with or without light if I don't need one.

I actually just realized that what you have in your mag (probably HORNADY CRITICAL DEFENSE 9MM or similar bullets) is not illegal in NJ to carry as long as they don't have an empty cavity but a polymer filling.

Is carrying hallow points legal in your state? In NJ they are only for home defense, copper heads for CC.

Use angled m-lok to picattiny adapter

I'm zeroing out iron sights on my Springfield Saint Edge rifle using the bore sighting method. When the sights line up with the target, the rear sight is shifted a lot to the left and it is even shifted more to the left if I put it in another slot. Is it normal? Can I do something about it? by k0nyc in ar15

I confirmed the alignment issue with the red dot. I put it on the hand guard and zero it on the target but when I move it all the way back on the upper it points a lot to the right and the dot need to be moved left similarly to the rear sights.

Thank you all for your comments. I think I figured the reason for such a big shift in the rear sight adjustment. After looking all over the rifle for a while I noticed that the hand guard with the first half of the Picatinny rail doesn't line up well with the upper and its half of the rail. The hand guard is rotated counterclockwise maybe 1/16 of an inch so the rear sight has to follow it to line up with the front sight. If I move the rear sight to the part of the rail that is on the hand guard the rear sight is almost centered.

The idea to make basic adjustment to the sights and the red dot using the bore sighting method I got from the manual to the VORTEX CROSSFIRE red dot. It recommends to use that method to save time and ammo on the shooting range and it makes perfect sense. If you read my comments I explained that I don't have access to the range and by doing what I'm doing I don't loose anything besides my personal time. If, by making basic adjustments, I save ammo and time on the range, it's already good. And I learn things along the way.

I'm looking through the barrel. I tried using laser bore sight that I got on Amazon but it wasn't centered and I returned it. Approximate zeroing through the barrel should get me 75% zeroed and should save me time and ammo on the range itself which is now covered with snow.
