Which optic?

This. What state and dump it on a bst

Use a rear aperture sight and look at the dot through the sight.

>break off sight base screw hammering front post in
>have to use screw extractor to remove to remove

Came here to post this
Something something reverse camera obscura effect
Cleans it right up

bought a red dot with astigmatism. with glasses its clear as fuck.

I put an airsoft red dot on a k98
I fucking broke it lol

Well, I wouldn't call this "bad luck", more like "cheap bastard", but I put the rear sight/carry handle from my airsoft M4 on my real AR-15 when I finished building it.

>said I would buy a better sight eventually
>it's been 8 months

Does it work?

>love guns
>find out I'm left eye dominant and holding a gun right handed just feels unnatural

life is pain. i taught myself rightie but it just feels wrong to me, and im not paying for every long gun to get them cycling left.

My brother's a leftie and when he shoots my AR it shoots hot brass directly into his right tit

hence why i taught myself rightie. i dont need hot brass flying

Yeah, it's alright. No one I've met was able to tell it was an airshit carry handle, they always laugh and think it's cool when I tell them

I bought an Arsenal 107R. Big fucking mistake.

>sights are so canted that it can’t be zeroed.
>gas tube lever and retainer literally fell out of the gas block.

Fuck Arsenal.

Bought rhoadie-style sling for my rifle to improve unsupported standing shooting. It doesn't help at all.

Bought one of those shitty M57A holsters from Classic along with the gun. It's got some lacquered finish on it which is super fucking dried up and its stiff. The leather under it is good though.

Bought new recoil springs for my FN49 from Sarco. They are bent af and too long to fit in the action, so they just coil up and jam it whenever you try to charge the rifle. Maybe I can bend them back in place and trim them to length with some wire cutters.

>hammer now drops with the worst sound ever
>hammer broke in half

Oh well. I now dub is as the throw away when they come knocking.

My front sight to my marlin 60 was loose, so I screwed it in a little tighter. Now I’m pretty sure it’s like 1mm off to the right, is this going to affect accuracy?

I'll trade you my CETME for that k98 to keep you from bubba ing the gun

Your the same bitch that posted that whiny Palmetto thread, aren't you?

Im never gonne bubba my beloved k98
I love her the way she is

>buy $200 optic for AR
>decide later to turn it into an a2 clone
>dont have any other gun to slap the optic on

Your AR is overgassed or your spring is too light.

I'd bet $5 that it's made in the same factory as the UTG sights.

>Got a 7.5” pistol kit, lower goes together easily enough
>slap on upper, check headspace before test firing.
>won’t close on Go gauge
>try another bolt, same result

Fuck
>take it to gunsmith friend
“We’ll get it sorted out user, in a few weeks.”
I just want my toy damnit

You probably arent using the sling right. Try using a GI sling in a loop wrapped around your upper bicep.

I have 20/30 vision in my right eye and astigmatism in the left so no matter which I use it fucks something up

Over gassed brass goes forward my dude.

>learn shitloads of gun stuff from reading and research
>go to gunstore to buy firearm that you’re certain you want
>get shit tier guns pushed in your face by bubba that got the job because he killed 3 bucks last year and drives a lifted 85 Chevy with mudders

I don’t want a fucking SCCY, you profligate.

B LE dominant, have fuked parents that think LH is Devil's work, force me to B RH, instantly fuks-up life. Start shooting, PPL tell me I'm LE dom. and I should switch hands, life instantly improves.
Profit
PS tell the fuk that's whining about his fukn astigma to go back to mammy and LARP somewhere else w/the rest of the Snowflakes.

>the sights are so off I have to aim several feet lower than the target at 50 yards on lowest increment
Battle sights are normally set at 350 yards, but considering that you bought that POS I can see how'd you think you were shooting a 22

I said "lower"

Fucking christ was that a mess. I'll take 100 wd-40 encrusted mud fused 1897s before I touch another modern 870.

Looks like your optometrist needs more business from Jow Forums

Had that same problem when I started 4H shooting sports. Make a blinder for your left eye, plink with BB guns or .22 (whatever you got that's dirt cheap) with your right eye only. You'll eventually get it trained to be dominant.
