I need an AR-15

Sadly, there are no consistent programs out there on what to do for people who are at the end of their life. Most policy is localized, based on what the hospital has always done. Karen is in touch with people all over the world who have done research on this, but nobody has complied all of it and used it to provide guidance on best methods that have proven results. It's kind of crazy that in this day, end of life care is non existent in so many places.

Is the AR-15 part of Karen's study?

Yes, she finds shooting and hunting to be a great way to take her mind off of analyzing papers and writing.

More time at the range equals better quality time doing research!!!

Thanks for asking

I built my own suppressor. And am I. The process of converting my m&p to piston. Tired of the blowback.

Interesting! Worthy of it's own thread.

Well crap.

Went to a local gun store today and looked at ARs. My fears were confirmed. I have developed a blind spot in my center of vision of my right eye. I cannot see the sights. Clerk finally put a red dot sight on and I could barely make it out. If I get one I will have to shoot it left handed.

Fiddlesticks.

Oh yeah, the clerk highly recommended the Ruger AR556. Said about the only model that they had had NO complaints on.

No big deal RSKY. I'm left eye dominant so tend to shoot that side. Just make sure your AR has a proper shell deflector and you will be fine. The red dot will help with your weak side eye too. Practice keeping both eyes open using it.

On the other hand, I can see the sights just fine...

...doesn't seem to help...

I'm not a fan of open sights for the very reason I can't see clearly out very far when using them. I never tried the red dot stuff, so I don't know if I would like it or not. I consider myself a hunter first and don't really care for shooting guns. It's just part of what it takes to be successful when out hunting.

I went with the Nikon scope for my wifes AR. It was on sale for $99 at Academy when I bought it.
