OUR TESTING PROCEDURES : WE TEST OUR PRODUCTS UNDER RAPID FIRE CONDITIONS WITH A MINIMUM OF 120 ROUNDS PER TEST, WHY ? WE BELIEVE THAT TESTING THIS WAY VERIFIES THAT OUR PRODUCTS WILL PERFORM UNDER REAL LIFE DEFENSIVE / OFFENSIVE SCENARIOS, THEREBY VERIFYING THE INTEGRITY OF OUR PRODUCTS. WE BELIEVE THAT ANY GUN SHOULD PERFORM THE RIGHT WAY FROM THE FIRST SHOT TO THE LAST. AND OF COURSE WE BELIEVE OUR CUSTOMERS SHOULD KNOW THE ACCURACY OF THEIR WEAPON SHOULD BE THERE NO MATTER HOW MANY ROUNDS ARE FIRED IN TRAINING.
BARREL STABILIZER ADVANTAGES
THE TRUE SHOT TECHNOLOGIES BARREL STABILIZER GREATLY MAINTAINS THE ACCURACY OF THE RUGER MINI 14 & MINI 30 CARBINES, AFTER BARREL HEAT UP. HOW ?
THE ONLY DRAWBACK TO THESE FINE WEAPONS IS THE UNDERSIZE BARREL DIAMETER WHICH ALLOWS THE BARREL TO DRIFT WHEN HOT.
THE BARREL STABILIZER FIXES THAT DRAWBACK BY HOLDING THE BARREL SOLIDLY IN PLACE WITH THREE ATTACHMENT POINTS, AND THE TST 9/16 “ WIDE, 1 SCREW PRECISION MACHINED ALUMINUM CLAMPS ACT AS HEAT SINKS AND ACTUALLY ABSORB A GREAT DEAL OF THE BARREL HEAT AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT A SLIGHTLY NARROWER CLAMP OFFERS LESS INTERFERENCE WITH BARREL HARMONICS. OUR CLAMPS HAVE 98% CONTACT AT THE BARREL & THE STABILIZER BAR WITH VERY LITTLE GAP, AND A MUCH LOWER PROFILE THAN OTHERS.
ALSO, ANY NUMBER OF ADD ON ACCESSORIES CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE STABILIZER BAR, SUCH AS LASERS, TACTICAL LIGHTS, BIPODS, ETC.
AND FINALLY IT GIVES THE MINI A CLASSIC M14 LOOK.
HOODED FRONT POST / REAR APERTURE SIGHT ADVANTAGES
WITH OPEN SIGHTS, YOUR EYE HAS 3 FOCUS POINTS ( REAR SIGHT, FRONT SIGHT, AND TARGET ). YOUR EYE, TRY AS YOU MIGHT, CAN’T DO THIS; YOU CAN DO 2, BUT NOT 3. WITH APERTURE SIGHTS, THE EYE AUTOMATICALLY CENTERS ITSELF IN THE REAR APERTURE, WHICH IS SEEN ONLY AS AN OUT OF FOCUS BLUR ( OR GHOSTLY RING ) AND YOU HAVE TWO FOCUS POINTS LEFT / FRONT SIGHT AND TARGET, THIS IS SOMETHING YOUR BRAIN / EYE CAN DO.
THE PURPOSE OF THE APERTURE IS TO HOLD YOUR EYE IN RELATION TO THE FRONT SIGHT.
THE RESULT IS YOU RECEIVE A VERY FAST AND GOOD VIEW OF YOUR INTENDED TARGET.
INSTEAD OF WATCHING WINDAGE ( BISECTING NOTCH WITH POST ) ELEVATION ( ALIGNING TOP OF POST WITH TOP OF NOTCH ) AND HOLDING TARGET ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS, TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE DIFFERENT OBJECTS AT 3 DIFFERENT RANGES, ALL AT ONE TIME, WITH APERTURE, YOU LOOK THROUGH THE REAR SIGHT, FIND THE TARGET, PLACE THE FRONT SIGHT ON THE TARGET AND FIRE !
YOU THINK ALL THAT SPACE IN THE CIRCLE ALLOWS FOR IMPRECISION, BUT TEST IT. TRY TO KEEP THE FRONT SIGHT ON TARGET, BUT OFF CENTER, AND SEE WHAT YOU HIT. YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU CANNOT. YOU HAVE TO TRY TO PUT THE FRONT SIGHT OFF CENTER, AND EVEN IF YOU SUCCEED (SO LONG AS THE FRONT SIGHT IS SQUARELY ON TARGET), YOUR BULLET WILL STILL BE ON TARGET, BUT IF YOU DON'T TRY TO PUT IT OFF CENTER, YOUR EYE WILL NATURALLY CENTER IT, RESULTING IN EVEN GREATER PRECISION.
BUIS ( BACK UP IRON SIGHTS ) OR OPTICS ??? BOTH ARE FINE AND HAVE THEIR INTENDED PURPOSES, BUT, GLASS BREAKS, AND BATTERIES RUN DOWN, AND YES, EVEN AN ACOG CAN BREAK! IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO HAVE SUPERIOR BUIS AND BE PROFICIENT AT BOTH. TODAY'S US MILITARY PERSONNEL ARE REQUIRED TO "QUALIFY" ON IRON SIGHTS AT THE FIRST 2 LEVELS OF TRAINING BEFORE BEING ISSUED ANY TYPE OF OPTIC, FOR GOOD REASON, IT JUST MAKES SENSE !
FROM A RECENT EMAIL / MAY 2012 AMERICA'S HUNTERS --- PRETTY AMAZING! THE WORLD'S LARGEST ARMY... AMERICA’S HUNTERS! I HAD NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS... A BLOGGER ADDED UP THE DEER LICENSE SALES IN JUST A HANDFUL OF STATES AND ARRIVED AT A STRIKING CONCLUSION: THERE WERE OVER 600,000 HUNTERS THIS SEASON IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN. ALLOW ME TO RESTATE THAT NUMBER: OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, WISCONSIN'S HUNTERS BECAME THE EIGHTH LARGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD. MORE MEN UNDER ARMS THAN IN IRAN . MORE THAN FRANCE AND GERMANY COMBINED.
THESE MEN DEPLOYED TO THE WOODS OF A SINGLE AMERICAN STATE, WISCONSIN, TO HUNT WITH FIREARMS, AND NO ONE WAS KILLED. THAT NUMBER PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE 750,000 WHO HUNTED THE WOODS OF PENNSYLVANIA AND MICHIGAN'S 700,000 HUNTERS, ALL OF WHOM HAVE NOW RETURNED HOME SAFELY. TOSS IN A QUARTER MILLION HUNTERS IN WEST VIRGINIA AND IT LITERALLY ESTABLISHES THE FACT THAT THE HUNTERS OF THOSE FOUR STATES ALONE WOULD COMPRISE THE LARGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD. AND THEN ADD IN THE TOTAL NUMBER OF HUNTERS IN THE OTHER 46 STATES. IT'S MILLIONS MORE. THE POINT? AMERICA WILL FOREVER BE SAFE FROM FOREIGN INVASION WITH THAT KIND OF HOME-GROWN FIREPOWER. HUNTING....IT'S NOT JUST A WAY TO FILL THE FREEZER.. IT'S A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY. *************************************** THAT'S WHY ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, WANT TO SEE US DISARMED. FOOD FOR THOUGHT, WHEN NEXT WE CONSIDER GUN CONTROL. ----------------------------------- OVERALL IT'S TRUE, SO IF WE DISREGARD SOME ASSUMPTIONS THAT HUNTERS DON'T POSSESS THE SAME SKILLS AS SOLDIERS, THE QUESTION WOULD STILL REMAIN... WHAT ARMY OF 2 MILLION WOULD WANT TO FACE 30, 40, OR 50 MILLION ARMED CITIZENS? I FEEL GOOD THAT I HAVE AN ARMY OF MILLIONS WHO WOULD PROTECT OUR LAND AND I SURE DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT TAKING CONTROL OF THE POSSESSION OF FIREARMS FOR THE SAKE OF OUR FREEDOM, DON'T EVER ALLOW GUN CONTROL OR CONFISCATION OF GUNS.
