Suppose i want to get into archery, but have nowhere near the amount of money i need to buy a decent bow...
Now suppose i want to make a bow out of pvc tubes, some wood and paracord...
Would i be able to learn the same as with a common good bow? I dont want to suddenly quit and have this $300 old bow around the house & nothing to do with it~~~
I got my hands on a very rare and unique find today. I consider myself a purveyor of fine optics in the gun world, and I particularly like to collect Trijicon products. When I saw this item available, I promptly shit my pants, and had to have it immediately.
It is a TA41 ACOG, or TA41-NLAW-CW, more specifically. It is a 2.5x20 compact ACOG, which is the dedicated sight for the NLAW anti-tank missile launcher. This weapon is only in use in Great Britain and Sweden (according to wikipedia).
To the best of my knowledge, Trijicon has never offered a 2.5x20 ACOG for sale in the US in any form, nor to civilians anywhere else. The source I got this from says he got a handful of them from an unclaimed freight auction in Ohio.
I paid $679 for the unit, and $12 to ship it. That puts it just a hair below cost of even the least-expensive ACOG offered. It was brand new, and he even threw in a Trijicon MM07 mount. Despite the 'unusual' application of this ACOG, it luckily takes their "special ring" mount found on some of their other compact ACOGs. Honestly, if he had put a '1' in front of the price tag, I probably would still have had to buy it.
There is no substitute for fine glass, at any price. ACOGs are nearly indestructible, made from a forging of strong 7075 aluminum. They are type III hard-coat annodized for further toughness. Their optics are exceptionally fine, allowing for nearly as perfect a percentage of light transmission as possible, and scratch-resistant lenses. The dual-illumination means that the reticuel is almost always appropriately lit in most circumstances. "Hick's Law" (look it up, wikipedia again) most-certainly can apply to firearms utilization and gunfighting, and in my heart of hearts, I know that Trijicon's offerings of dual-illumination products are the simplest to use.
Hey everyone, take a seat and grab some popcorn, cause I got some bullshit right here for you all to see.
My friend Tito got suspended from his libtard-filled high school for posting a picture on a few social media sites of him and his girlfriend holding guns. The catch? Their fingers weren't on the triggers, they had mock mags in, and the guns weren't even real.
Copy pasta here: "This young man by the name of Tito Velez was suspended along with his girlfriend in regards to this photo that was taken at his house. The guns in the picture are airsoft guns and the photo was taken by his father and posted on his face book. The school is now threatening to ex-spel him and in ten days he will go before the School Board to have a decision handed down. This is a clear violation of this young man's rights and we need to make this viral, I tried calling the school but they refuse to comment, The School in question is Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School. Regardless of how we may feel especially cause there was just a school shooting, The Punishment comes after the crime and having a photo that contains someone holding a gun is no damn crime!
In my interview with tito this is what he told me "we were taken right before the Cross Country states meet. We were asked, “why would you post something like that?” when we tried saying something, they told us to be quiet and they separated us. I was sent to a room and my bag was searched, along with my clothes and locker. The school called the police and they had a cop speak to us without reading our rights and without our parents permission. We had no say in what happened and we never got a chance to defend ourselves.""
