[@jimmarcum7362]

Armed in 1999 was during the 1994 AWB that ended in 2004. Firearms made after 94 came with 10 round magazines from the factory. AR style weapons could not have a flash hider or bayonet lug. Pre ban rifles and magazines were sold at a premium. Some states went further and outlawed AR rifles completely. So most had their pre ban ARs, and Glocks and babied their legal hi cap mags. Those who were caught flat footed, had an AR with non threaded barrel, or a pinned muzzle break. AR, Glock, Sig, and Beretta magazines made before 1994 sold for a premium. We were lucky that they did not make it permanent in 2004. I had a Bushmaster 20 inch A2 along with a 16 inch SGW collapsible stock AR. My other weapons were 870 with an extended tube and P226 with only 3 mags.

@@hickok45While a man could buy his service gear outright from a Supply Sergeant, many soldiers did not. The average civilian didn't really have good Surplus available, but could just go out and order one of the military-guns of the day at a store. There were auctions In the 1860s for outdated firearms that were still used during the Civil War, but most of the more advanced kit was saved for use out on the Frontier. It's not until after the Spanish-American War that we see any Army Navy Surplus stores in significant numbers.

How the hell do you shoot that well with corrective lenses? My biggest problem I suffer with focus on my sights and target at the same time. Need some help with this. Any advice would help. Awesome videos! Keep it up!

[@the_guitarcade]

I'm no expert, and I don't wear corrective lenses, but I've taught some people the basics, including people who do, and they have all turned into decent-or-better shots From teaching my wife to shoot, she has astigmatism and is nearsighted, we had to try a few different handguns before finding one she could reliably pick the sights up on, and stick to that one gun for a few months. For her, the Sig P365 XL's sights were what really did the trick. The front sight is a different color than the rear sight, which helped her get them lined up properly, then repetition baked in the feel, so now when she shoots other handguns she can feel when the sights are lined up correctly, and when she needs to adjust. Finding a gun where you can reliably pick up the sights and sticking with it until you're consistently shooting it to a reasonable standard before adding other guns should help. Another thing to keep in mind is that even with 20-20 vision, you can't focus on the sights and target at the same time. You focus on the front sight and your target should blur when using iron sights. Also, if you can get them on your gun(s), red dots should really be able to help you. With a red dot, you're just putting a dot on your target, you don't need to focus on multiple planes. They take some practice with acquiring the dot, but less than iron sights do, in my experience. There is some sort of common "wisdom" in the gun community that you need to be able to shoot with iron sights. It's not true. If you can't pick up iron sights, you can still find something that will work for you. If that's a red dot, put a red dot on all of your guns, and keep on top of the batteries. Guns are either tools or toys and whatever you need to do to make them work for you or fun for you, do it. If you can practice in an indoor range until you get comfortable, that should also help. The lighting might suck but it should be consistent from one trip to the next, and if you're using a gun with polished metal sights, or that has a smooth-ish top, you shouldn't have to contend with the glare issues or shifting, inconsistent lighting of the great outdoors, and consistency is key early on, in my experience. Hopefully one or more of those things will help you, or someone else in your situation.
