Title: ruger 5.56e
Post by: demontang on February 25, 2013, 06:42:21 PM: So I pulked the trigger on a piston ar. I sold my olympic k16 to fund my newest toy. So far ive addedmy timney trigger and thrown on my dads nikon red dot to go play with since my rings arnt tall enough to clear the scope :bash: im going to try and sight it in tomorrow and call a yote or hit some ground hogs just to get its first kill done :tup:
