My range day with M&P15

[wally05]

It was this month's issue of "tactical rifle" and I was mistaken, it was the course with EAG Tactical (I knew that, I must have been confused). It was a recent carbine course and Pat Rogers is quoted on saying that the orientation of the batteries, the fact that the optic has problems in the cold and a few other small things need improving, but it's a good optic otherwise. Carry on!

Methinks he's mellowing in his old age.

Thanks for following up on this. Out of curiosity, who was the author of the article?

Mag was actually "Combat Arms"... I think I'm falling apart at a young ago, I can't even remember the mag name. The author was .... (Looking it up).... Frank W. James. It actually looks familiar by the pics, so it might be a print of an article I've seen online.

Back to the range today with my M&P15T, the Eotech isn't mounted high enough, so I have to order a riser for it. Hopefully that would fit the problem. With the iron sights, same result as last time. Only this time, all my shots were inside the 10 rings with a few in the dead center. I am very happy with this M&P15T. Also, no smoke this time.

why do you feel that the eotech isnt high enough? do you prefer the lower 1/3rd cowitness? Try it before you ditch the eotech mount.

The Combat Arms article features INGO member abnk in one of the big photos, getting "counseled" by Pat. My buddy Doug T, who is not an INGOer (yet), also appears in a couple of the photos. The EAG course in question was the one Frank attended back in 2007; I was there, as well (EAG Carbine Operators Course 2007 ). The article is, IMO, rambling and poorly written, and contains a number of inaccuracies and "embellished" quotes and facts.

Thanks for the clarification, Shooter. I'm usually not one to read the gun rags, but I've been taking trips with the wife a lot and needed something to read. I thought the pics looked familiar from awhile ago. I could swear I saw them online. I also found some errors in grammar and spelling in the article and it did seem to ramble. And it seems like the same people write aricles for all of them! Anyways, I don't have a problem with the eotech, I just like aimpoint a little better.

My friend at Anderson PD just bought an M&P15 and loves it. I guess he is using it for patrol use. Great rifles, imo.

The Eotech 512 is mount with any other mount on the M&P, I am not going to ditch it. I am going to raise it a little with a mount for it.
