Anthony Imburgia - Firearms enthusiast from New York State AR-15 Training Tip of the Week: Main Topic: New York Assault Weapons (not really, just a regular AR-15) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NY_SAFE_Act http://www.governor.ny.gov/nysafeact/gun-reform http://www.nraila.org/legal/articles/2013/6/suit-filed-to-strike-down-new-yorks-safe-act.aspx http://www.ammoland.com/2013/09/saf-sues-new-york-over-safe-act-magazine-limits/#axzz2gQiRJzDJ Listener Feedback: Rich: Great podcasts! I have learned a lot and have just completed my first AR build. Hopefully I will be able to take it out soon and zero it in. On your last show, gator_b8 asked how to delete pictures after uploading them to flickr. It really is not hard to do, Just go to the AR15 podcast flickr page, where they were uploaded and find your picture. When you place your mouse over your own picture you will see an X in the upper right corner of your picture...click on the X and it is now deleted. It was also nice to have a quick breakdown on the parts needed for an AR build. On my build, I did shoot a pivot pin detent across the room and lost it in the carpet! I had to obtain a replacement one and was successful on the second try. I did hear of a tip and I have not tried it out. The tip was to use a large see-through bag around the lower while you put the spring and detents in. If the detent gets shot out, the bag will retain it for you. Daniel lance: Hey gents! Love the show! I listen all the time when I'm at work, just dove into the firearms business about 2 years ago, a fellow Marine I served with in Fallujah Iraq with, we started a class 3 business and specialize in AR's, we have done several builds but it never gets old learning more an more! Loved your podcast on back to the basics of a build. We are thinking of getting into the pistol caliber ar market, what are your thoughts on a 9mm or .40 s&w Ar? Any recommended companies or which ones should we stay away from? Thanks so much for all you guys do! Hey reed keep your head up.... Even if jake doesn't think you're capable of being host.. Lol if anything maybe you could get a gig doing M&m plugs. J/k bro. Lance with calamity arms. Semper fi gents. Check us out! http://www.calamityarms.com. Or calamity arms on Facebook. Chris Ivey: Hey guys. Love the show. I listen to all the firearms radio podcast. A quick question, I have an AR and can’t find any 5.56 ammo. I live in Alabama so hunting season is right around the corner and .223 is everywhere and it’s not too expensive. I know I can shoot .223 out of my 5.56 but do I lose anything by shooting .223 over 5.56? Thanks for your time in advance. I’m glad the shows are talking of but I hate to here you leaving this podcast but I’m sure I’ll hear you on the other ones. Keep the shows coming. Bryan Bolivar: Training Tip of the Week - Holdover Good point Jake. AR sights sit well above the bore and at close distance, like in a house, you really do need to compensate for this offset to get your bullets hitting where you want. I personally use optics that let me repeatedly dial in the correct sight adjustment for this but learning your hold over is also a great technique and probably more applicable to the \"real world\" rather than the competitive environment that I normally shoot in. A good tool for practicing this is the SIRT AR-15 bolt. Since it projects a laser straight down your bore it mimics bullet trajectory at short range (essentially a straight line) and accurately accounts for sight height over bore.
