Great AR-15 Optics for Customization

January 20, 2014 | 0 Comments

Personalizing the Ar-15

Any gun owner’s list of things to do should include plenty of shooting, cleaning your gun, and familiarizing yourself with your gun. Knowing your weapon from the inside out provides you with a better understanding of how it works. Many AR-15 owners learn their guns’ ins and outs by upgrading it or even building an AR 15 from scratch.

Tricking out an AR 15 for sale means using AR-15 accessories to enhance its form or function. The sheer amount of compatible and aftermarket parts make the AR 15 one of the most easily customized guns available. It is truly a firearm you can personalize and make your own to the exact degree that you desire.

Optics and Scopes for the AR-15

One of the most common accessories AR-15 owners will want is optics such as rifle scopes or sights. With so many choices available, making a choice can be intimidating and there simply isn’t a “one scope fits all needs” option out there. A good guide to choosing optics is by making a selection according to how you will use it. Let’s look at a few of the most popular AR-15 optics for sale.

Leupold Mark 4 HAMR

The tough, compact and combat-ready Leupold Mark 4 HAMR is designed for precise mid-range distance and rapid target acquisition in bright daylight, low light, and at night. Leupold is a great brand with many optics options available depending on what you are looking for. GrabAGun’s great price is well below retail.

Leupold Mark AR 3-9×40

Another popular Leupold scope is the Leupold Mark AR 3-9×40. 2-9x. This scope is a great choice when you need a bit more magnification at the upper end and don’t expect close range firing. It is ideal for hunting or plinking at medium ranges. GrabAGun has great savings on all kinds of optics and scopes!

Laser Sights

If you have ever had to climb a tree because a wild boar is after you or get on top of a car while the bumper is being tore off by the dynamite porky, you will learn to appreciate lasers in low-lighting conditions as an assist in the take down of boar before they get out of the darkening woods. You can’t hunt after dark in many states, not even the vermin. Yet hogs and coyote often come no sooner than late afternoon and disappear just after the sun rises in many locations, providing a very narrow window of opportunity with wooded areas already darkening.

With so many great optics available, applying your intended use and considering your budget is the best guide for choosing optics. Tactical lights are also a great product useful for vermin control, and you will find the laser a great assist in low light conditions. Many people may prefer just having a red dot sight for easy-to-use fast acquisition as well.

Choosing a Pistol Grip

November 1, 2013 | 0 Comments

Choosing properly fitted pistol grips is integral to maintaining control and accuracy of a firearm.

Most weapons come with well-fitting pistol grips, but those with large or small paws will often find many choices among pistol grips that can provide a more custom pistol grips type fit and control of a firearm.

A simple test of a pistols fit, as well as the fit of pistol grips is to wrap your fingers around the grip. If it fits, your thumb and middle finger should overlap. The grip is too large for your hands if your thumb cannot touch your middle finger. At the same time, grips can be too small. A grip that is too small will result in poor control of recoil. With your fingers wrapped around the grip, note the placement of your middle finger. If it is overlapping your palm then the grip is too small. The recommended best fit is for the middle finger to overlap the thumb by the length of a man’s thumbnail.

Grip shape and angle can also affect the line of the gun. With the pistol gripped take note of whether or not it points in line with your arm. If not, choose another grip, or pistol. Pistols can be too large for the shooters hands. Adding large grips will only compound this problem in most cases. It is a balance at times, if you shoot a magnum revolver the larger pistol grips will absorb more recoil, whereas thin and therefore more concealable pistol grips will be the better choice for concealed carry pistols. Some grip manufacturers have separate grip choices for each class of weapon.

Some grips are single purpose; they may work great on the practice field, but fail miserably for any other purpose. You wouldn’t want to obtain accuracy with a pair of grips used only on the practice field when they fit your hand differently than what you are normally using. Accuracy can suffer if you do. A well-fitting and comfortable pair of pistol grips is the best option.

Other factors to consider is how much palm swell and checkering is present on grips. Too much palm swell or thumb swell will prove detrimental to grip and accuracy. Too much checkering will be uncomfortable, while too little creates a slippery gun in a sweaty hand.

Pistol grips are the contact point between the hand and gun and proper fitting is imperative to accuracy, comfort, control and safety.

Choosing The Right Gun Holster

October 24, 2013 | 0 Comments

Gun holsters provide protection to the handgun, as well as providing a ready access to the weapon while securing its retention. The individual’s needs must be considered when choosing gun holsters as access and security are often contradictory. Achieving the correct balance between these two factors is an important consideration when choosing a defensive handgun holster, where failure to access the weapon quickly or loss of the weapon due to insufficient retention could result in serious injury or death to the user.

The design of gun holsters have improved providing a better fit for the carry location using modern ergonomics and providing ambidextrous holsters for users.

Modern holsters are broken down into four broad categories by use: duty holsters worn by police officers and security personnel; tactical holsters worn by military, security and law enforcement personnel; concealed carry holsters worn by plainclothes law enforcement officers and private individuals; and sporting holsters worn by competition shooters and hunters.

Specialty Holsters

The improved design of most gun holsters of today include ambidextrous holsters for left and right handed draw, provide for a smooth draw with contoured and ergonomic design for the best fit and comfort. Holster options include many popular varieties including ankle holsters, paddle holsters, belt holsters, inside the pants holsters, pocket holsters, shoulder holster systems comprised of cross chest carry and tuxedo shoulder harness systems with padded load bearing, sleeveless shirt holsters and thumb drive holsters. Other choices include bedside table, magnetic and fanny pack holsters among others.

Concealed Carry Gun Holsters

Concealment holsters, also called concealed carry holsters are designed to be easily concealed, unobtrusive, lightweight and comfortable. Concealment holsters are designed to be worn under clothing and is positioned close to the body, and designed to distribute the pressure across a wider area and prevent discomfort of the skin, as well as to help break up the outline of the weapon under clothing. For pocket holsters often feature a nap, or rougher surface on the external side to hold the holster in place when drawing the pistol.

Sporting & Hunting Holsters

Sporting holsters cover a wide spectrum of styles: maximum access for fast draw shooting, superbly adjustable holsters used in IPSC and pin shooting, classic holsters used in cowboy style shooting, high retention, maximum protection holsters used for handgun hunting, and simple holsters used to hold a handgun while out plinking. Like any sporting equipment, sporting holsters have evolved to maximize the benefits of the game with game rules observed; as a result the competitive sports have the most specialized holsters.

Holsters for hunting can be unique if they are designed to carry large handguns or to make allowances for telescopic sights. Large handguns are often carried in holsters that are slung across the shoulder.

Red Dot Scopes

October 10, 2013 | 1 Comments

The red dot has been proven to be the fastest type of reticle to place on target and provides the greatest increase in hit probability on close quarter moving targets. The scope uses reticles which are illuminated by a red LED. The reticles take the form of a small dot and places the dot on a target for a precise aim. Adjustments to the dot on your target are done by an up/down (elevation) and left/right (windage) settings on the scope. Unlike regular scopes, red dot scopes are more easily used at shorter distances, but still can be used at longer distances, when combined with magnification.

Most red dot scopes are defined as Reflex sights, as opposed to EOTech sights, which are truly holographic sights. Reflex sights will not create a defined and sharp red dot, and may look a bit fuzzy, which is normal. When looking at scopes, the size of the dot is measured in “MOA” (minute of angle), one-half inch at 50 yards, one inch at 100 yards, and two inches at 200 yards.

Choosing a Fireproof Gun Safe

September 30, 2013 | 0 Comments

Consider looking at all the options, do some research and know what you need. No need making an investment that is too far-reaching. Look at many different brands of safes before you buy. Many offer unique options that you may want. Also, investigate the safe’s specifications and ask about its safeguards against tampering. Lastly, invest in a fireproof gun safe.

As you consider the right fireproof gun safe, you need to look at the fireproof rating it carries. When you look at the fireproof ratings, you will see a time limit and a temperature listed. Most fire resistant safes meet basic fire protection standards, with the minimum being able to withstand a 1200⁰F temperature for up to 30 minutes. This means the temperature inside the safe shouldn’t exceed about 275⁰F during those 30 minutes. Your guns should come out okay. A more expensive, premium safe might be rated at 1200⁰F for up to 100 minutes. The response time of your local fire department would be a consideration. If you live close to the station and they can respond within a few minutes, a 100 minute rating might be more than you need. Also, make sure the safe you purchase has a fire seal. This will appear as a flat strip of material around the perimeter of the door, which expands to seal the door when it gets hot.

Selecting Rifle Scope Rings

September 25, 2013 | 0 Comments

You’ve selected your rifle, your scope, now you need a way to mount your scope correctly on to your rifle. Sometimes it can be quite confusing to a new gun owner and even some old ones! There are so many choices of optics out there, and the ways to actually put them on the gun are innumerable and complicated.

Make sure you have all the equipment you need to mount your scope: the scope, the unloaded rifle, the scope mount or base, rifle scope rings, and a set of tools including screwdrivers and an Allen wrench. If your gun isn’t equipped for scope mounts, you may need to take it to a gunsmith first.

Scope bases come in many different styles. They include Weaver, Picatinny, Redfield/Leupold and clamp-on mounts, among others. Some manufacturers build a scope base directly into the receiver. You can attach the base with either clamps or screws, depending on the type of base, and make sure to match the rifle scope ring to the base as well as your scope to prevent problems.

Rifle scope rings are usually two-piece clamps. You attach the lower part of the rings directly to the scope base as the scope will rest in the lower half of the rings. The upper part holds the scope in place and steady. It’s important to know that mounting rings come in different heights. The size of the scope’s objective lens will determine the height the mounting rings will need to be.

Overall, it’s understood that a rifle scope ring and the bases should not be the place to pinch pennies. The money will be well-spent and will ensure reliability, ruggedness, and peace of mind.

Get On Target With A Gun Scope

Gun Scope Basics

Simply put, gun scopes magnify an image and put your eye on the same optic plane as the image you are viewing. Looking through the glass, the image is magnified by bending light rays through a series of lenses within the scope. All gun scopes have a reticle or cross hairs built in to reference the center of the field of view seen through the scope. There are other considerations when thinking about choosing the best gun scope for your needs such as field of view, magnification levels, what kind of reticle do you prefer, parallax error, resolution, lens coating, and price you’re willing to pay.

Many enthusiasts and experts say they would rather spend money on a great scope than on a great gun. If you can’t see where to place the bullet with accuracy, the gun is useless. Many hundreds, if not thousands of dollars can be easily wasted on ammunition, hunting and other costs if you do not intimately know your gun. Understand how to use your gun scope well because in moments when it counts, like in hunting situations, you often have enough to think about, like scent, concealment, and accommodating your body to different elevations. Do the work ahead of time so you can enjoy the entire experience.
