Indoor yes, so it's more like a CQB or house-clearing drill.

Rude rifles (i.e. unsuppressed) are prevalent, so I always "double up" on hearing protection. I run plugs under muffs.....

Still sounds fun. Might have to come one of these Friday’s

Speaking of suppressors, anyone here ever try out one of these...?

I shot an OSS Supressor when they first came out a few years ago. My Class 3 dealer had one at a shoot. It was nice but at the time they were way to expensive. But it did reduce the blowback to the shooter.

PacNW_Taco · Mar 29, 2019

Oh snap. I've been there a few times. To the range, not the FNRL. I could make it next week probably.

Edit: I seriously need a sling. Any suggestions on a good dual point?

For reference, I run around throwing bullets with my bare hands wearing a headlamp.

I’m a huge fan of the ms4 qd.

Both single point and dual point availability

Good choice if you like using both styles. I have a bunch of MS4 QDMs, and I’d rather have MS1 QDMs based on how I use my slings. The single point connector on the MS4 winds up being in the way a little for me. Not enough to spend the money replacing them (I think I have 4 or 5, maybe 6, of them....)

The gen 2 MS4 QDMs are cheaper, not sure why though.

Friday Night Rifle League. Every (most) Friday at Wade's in Bellevue. $20 after tax. Show up between 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM. No membership required, but you do need Wade's liability waiver on file. It's upstairs in the training bay, but check in and payment is made at the front desk downstairs.

Minimum of two runs through the course of fire. A COF is 13 targets (10 rifle, 3 pistol), with a minimum of two shots per target. You'll move from different shooting positions. Run is timed and scored in a "time plus" fashion. The lower your combined time, the better. A Miss adds 5 seconds, hitting a "no shoot" adds 10 seconds. Sometimes we get in 3 or 4 runs, so bring extra ammo.

Bare minimum equipment:
1 Rifle (5.56, 6.8 and 7.62x39 OK, but nothing more powerful). SBRs, PCCs, 22LRs and braced-pistols are fine.
2 rifle mags (mandatory mag change)
1 Pistol (in a holster, or bring a small case to stage it at the shooting position)
1 pistol mag
40 rounds of rifle ammo, 12 rounds of pistol ammo minimum.
Ammo restrictions: only brass cased ammo (no steel cased, aluminum cased, etc.) Magnets cannot stick to your bullets (no M855, steel core, steel jacketed, bimetal jacketed, etc.) . Also, Federal Fusion is not allowed (too hard on the backstops.) Why you would use that expensive ammo for this is beyond me anyway...

Nice to have:
a sling for the rifle (you will transition to handgun during the COF).
a holster for the handgun
a light on the firearms (the lights are turned down for the 2nd run)
an optic on the rifle (red dot or 4x and under. You could use a 10x scope, but the range is maxed out at 20 yards, so it will be tough...)
A magazine pouch to carry your spare AR mag

Getting close to Tier 1 level:
A red dot on the handgun
a suppressor for the rifle and/or handgun
plate carrier or battle belt with mag pouches, etc.

Super Tier 1 Baller status:
PVS-14/-15
IR light and laser

Sounds fun! tonight????

Is that an s-line? Front fenders look flared

Capt. Obvious · Mar 29, 2019

It does have the S-Line package, but it's just a standard 4.2 with an S6 front end conversion.

(the front bumper will hopefully go back on this weekend)

Try being a lefty

scollins said: ↑

you get used to it. I shoot my rifles left-handed, so it's even more "gas to the face." But after shooting suppressed rifles for so long, I rarely ever notice it now. I'll also get done shooting a course of fire (at FNRL for example), and my right arm will be covered in black soot marks from spent cases hitting me. My support arm grip puts my forearm somewhat in the ejection path.

I have no conscious memory of those hot pieces of brass hitting/bouncing off my arm......

Lefty as well. I have a scar on the inside of my right arm from finishing my course of fire with an ejected 556 caught in the bend my elbow. That's what I get for running short sleeves. There are worse things.
