dry tested the baby monitor. the only caveat is the camera does not have a battery on board so requires a powersource down stream adding a cost in the form of a small battery pack. Did not get to test range on it as the weather did not cooperate. perhaps this week after woork i can get out...
I appreciate all the ideas and links. Going to grab the baby monitor for this coming weekend as it is super inexpensive. Waiting on a response from my range's board on if it will get me in any trouble putting an object downrange that is not a target attached to their target stands.
If other...
There are a ton of cheap options but I don’t wanna buy something that doesn’t work. I’m trying to avoid the experiment phase and skip to the “a person I know said it works phase”
Admittedly still a crap shoot but this is a generally good group of people so I’ll trust the advice (Hahahha)
Genius!!!! This is why you ask before you buy.
now, let’s hope the person in the position next to me doesn’t have a stray lol. Don’t wanna test the ar 500.
I’m going to see if my range will allow this.
a lot to carry vs something small in a bag but it eliminates a lot of issues
The outdoor ranges near me (that i am a member of) stretch out to 200 and 300 yards. I found it quite difficult to see where i was hitting at even 100 yards with a 3x magnifier.
Looking for advice on a budget way to see downrange without taking the walk every few shots/mags. They will not...
But this doesn’t label upstate explicitly… you are being far softer than I got
I’m still a little butt hurt for rightfully being called out on my ignorance that I wasn’t truly in western and central ny but in fact western ny and finger lakes regions
i am more upset for taking an 11-year hiatus and coming back into the world as a newb all over. but damn, great price and that fire arm looks so nice, even in a free state i would buy one of these
I am going to buy the full thing. I will save up to buy a spare BCG and any spare parts i can as they come up just to have a second. I know you can convert these to a bufferless system but i am not looking to buy a project, i want a reliable fire arm for classes. i know it is not the exact...
I appreciate you mentioning that. I have a mini 14 unfired in the safe. Contemplated selling to fund the scr. I have a lead in one for 1100 shipped with 300 rounds through it.
worried about proprietary lower components with how long these things go out of stock for at a time.
I have...
i think even newsom beat buffalo... not a contest i would want to win, we at least have a functioning train.... it might go in a straight line and really not far, but it is more than theory and crumbling cement. well, maybe just more than theory.
unpopular question... and just asking to have my ass handed to me, but since when was 2A a God-given right?
Being a religious person myself, not sure how these are God-given. They are constitutional, but even our forefathers had the authority to dictate God's word; even though King James got...
I have always believed it is like the WWE... outcome is predetermined, everyone puts a show on when outward facing, yet goes to the same events behind the scenese and 'gets along'. This is not true across every situation but generally, i believed this until this current admin but i still see...
if you ever get out more west, bull creek has people in Erie/Niagara counties as well as Ontario counties. Well regarded, also offer private lessons which make it far easier to use a certain manual of arms.
the CMMG BR4 was another thought but i really need to just get the SCR, get some reps...
Thank you both. I know rifle training classes in NYS are becoming more rare as it is a pain in the ass to navigate and ensure students have the right toolset. Sure, you can use one of their setups but they only have so many and there are other 'workarounds'. I have 3 ar platform rifles now...
Looking at a fightlite scr from a private seller. Was recommended by a trainer for carbine classes to comply with NYS.
These seem perpetually sold out making scarcity a driver of fomo.
anyone have experience with these?
Any reason they seem to be nowhere?
Any known issues like locking block replaced? any malfunctions?
by chance have original grips on the beretta?
Interested just from a variety standpoint.
Id snap this up right away if we were closer. The 6 hour drive both ways eliminates this being practical for me. Not sure if it can be shipped FFL to FFL but that would also eat away at any deal this is.
do you by chance ever make it more west in NY for any reason?
i wish i had a justification, i would be all over it but i just dont. nor do i have somehwere to keep it to respect it properly. my living room will not fly with the wife
But how would some appointed, under qualified family member of an elected politician justify creating a new job to hire others in their network if we don’t support a new, redundant , hotline for them to staff?
Bigfoot said it well, but this is something I personally support.
People who are terminally ill or just don’t want to live anymore, that is their choice and I’m not sure why we should stop them.
A right to life and liberty to me means control over my life.
Also, I don’t want to be a...
I can see the logic of the people thinking this is a good idea, I do not agree with it.
What I’d love to hear is what specifically does this solve? What dos success achieve?
are there a statistically significant number of deaths or injuries by people who buy a firearm arm that can be solved...
I have never fired anything with a comp or ports. I do ask if it is THAT noticeable to people who do not live on the range. only way i will know is to buy one and compare myself.... shucks.
one of the ranges i frequest (that is also a shop) keeps telling me to move on from my shield + and that they have an x comp coming in. they are convinced i will swap when i hold it but the propsect of rebuying S&W mags (unless they come out with a plate conversion) could keep that from coming...
be careful saying you are from CNY (especially if you spell out central new york as they tell me that is a giveaway you are not from there), that is a sensitive topic if you cannot adequately define, with longitude and latitude to the nearest 0.00001 degrees (1m) where it starts or ends. They...
the site picture didnt need to be arms length it was more to see how or if this cowitnesses but it was still a silly question becuase there is no dot on it so it would not tell me anything aside from seeing how the optics look aligned, my fault and good call out.
I appreciate the super fast...
Hey, super interested and just outside Monroe County (Erie/niagara). a few questions to help see if this is a good fit
Approx how many rounds through the firearm in its life?
Who did the cut?
Any receipt / email confirmation?
Was it refinished? (Nitride/Cerakote/etc.)
How many rounds...
i am now better versed on the regions of NY and how nobody wants niagara falls, buffalo, rochester, or syracuse. i would say your loss but that is debatable, lol
in all seriousness, i am now less ignorant on our state's regions.
I did once call the southtowns the southerntier.... my wife was not impressed but she stuck with this box of rocks anyway. I may be geographically challenged but I excel in other areas.... I think.
i recant central ny based on channel 2's assessment and double recant based on real info from a reputable source (the internet said so but i did not check gemini or chat gpt) Regional Outdoor Information - NYSOGA
it is pop to me. Not wicked pop or hella pop, just pop... i live in WNY for my primary residence, i have a second home in what i thought was central ny but the image from the MSM shared teaches me this is the finger lakes region.
I lol'd to hochalville.... i didnt ask for her to hail from...
