matmacwc Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Where would you get a conversion kit for the 15/22? I have a stock one that needs some sprucing up, maybe an inexpensive optic. Thanks!

For cheap optics, I'd probably look at Primary Arms or Holosun. They seem to get decent reviews.
matmacwc Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Good question, my bad. Unfortunately it’s a Remington (15/22), I can google as much as the next guy, just looking for advice on AR style conversion kits.

As for optics that won’t break the bank it depends on what you are wanting to do with it. For around a $100 you have plenty of options for basic to 12x magnification stuff.

AR conversion kit, I’ve been hunting and shooting since I was 4 years old, still can’t hit the broadside of a barn, always passed military testing, but never marksman. I’ve never really cracked the nut on my right handed, left eye dominant situation. My point is, I need more bullets to make up for it. 🙂 Edited April 23, 2019 by matmacwc 1

I’ve never really cracked the nut on my right handed, left eye dominant situation. My point is, I need more bullets to make up for it. 🙂 If you are looking for a 22 conversion for your AR, then I’d check out primary arms for when they put the cmmg bolt conversion with mags on sale. Another option is to look at getting a dedicated 22 upper for your gun for a little more money. That way the barrel will stabilize the 22 round coming out of the 1:16 twist vs the 1:7-8 twist rates of most 5.56 barrels. The 5.56 will stabilize it some but the round will start to tumble if you are trying to be super accurate with it. As for the right hand left eye dominant issue, I’ve been there with the same issue. Still shoot that way most of the time when I’m shooting my pistols. Don’t have that issue when I’m shooting with a scope, but that’s taking lots of practice for me to be able to close my left eye to do it. Good luck.
cragspider Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Just picked up my first AK, it’s a PSA AKV, 10.5” 9mm. Got it out to the range yesterday and it’s a blast to shoot, put 350 rounds through it and had zero issues with what I’d call gen 1.5. I put a Bushnell red dot on it that nicely co-witness with the iron sights. 2 2
Orbit Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 PSA: about PSA, palmetto state armory, they have a good deal on complete ar-15 lowers right now with magpul hardware. 2
billy pilgrim Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Just took a "Desert Eagle .50" to the range. 'Merica. Pretty heavy and concealed carry may be difficult, but that thing is a beast. 2 1

MilitaryToFinance Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Walmart no longer allowing open carry in stores and giving in to the whiny liberals and discontinuing the sale of handgun ammunition. Clearly the corporate culture has drifted a long ways from Arkansas. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/03/the-full-memo-from-walmarts-ceo-about-pulling-back-on-gun-sales.html

Just no open carry even if it’s legal. Curtailing selling some types of ammo will just move my business else where till I get back to TX or near an Academy Sports.
HuggyU2 Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 From Beto: "I was asked how I'd address people's fears that we will take away their assault rifles. I want to be clear: That's exactly what we're going to do. Americans who own AR-15s and AK-47s will have to sell their assault weapons. All of them." Well, I will admit I appreciate his candor and clarity of communication. Leaves no doubt as to what he wants.
Hacker Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Biden got on the "mandatory assault weapons buyback" train a couple days ago, too. How can you "buy back" what you have never owned to begin with?? 2
nunya Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) So one could keep their M1A with a wood stock? Good thing it's not as scary as an AR-15. Edited September 8, 2019 by nunya 1

FlyingFisher Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 What are the regulations as far as firearms while at UPT? As a student in the on base housing would we be allowed to keep a CCW handgun or hunting shotgun at the base armory or is it a no go unless you're in a house?
nunya Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Just store it with an off-base classmate. You don’t want to deal with SF. 1 2
