With winter gloves on, the average was 22 seconds. The study also found that the wrappers gave no protection from degradation caused by sunlight, and that environmental conditions destroyed the wrappers over the course of the 3 month study.

There's no peer reviewed journal that states which magazine orientation is best haha. And again- nice looking set up. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By DontBuryMe:

I have not seen one for sale in the EE for well over a year. the ones you do see come with a comp m2, and your paying $350-400 for the sight and mount together.
I think the best bet is brownells with coupons. |
