    I hate going to the dentist.

    Here, sit in this chair and relax while I see how many sharp metal objects I can put in your mouth at one time... wait a minute. I think I’ll need my dremmel tool for this one. Yep looky there, it fits in your mouth too. Say, why are you gripping the chair so tightly?

    Here is a random thought. At 100yards what is the moa size of the iron sight front post?

    Depends on the width of the post and sight radius. Also what you use as MOA

    On the AR there are various width post available
    One 1" MOA @ 1" = .000277
    One 1.047" MOA @ 1" = .000290
    Lets say front post is .072 @ 18" from your eye. That comes to 14.44 MOA (1") or 13.79 MOA (1.047")
    6 decimal places still has some slight error so just call it 14 MOA
    20" sight radius is 12.996 MOA (1")

    At least according to my calcs. / for division
    1" / 3600 = .000277" = MOA @ 1" in inches (3600 = 100 yds in inches)
    MOA in inches @ 1"" x Sight Radius in inches = MOA in inches @ Sight distance - .000277 x 20 = .00554
    Sight Width / by MOA in inches @ Sight distance = Sight Width in MOA - .072 / .00554 = 12.996

    Lol, I saw a video where the guy had picked up a 1/4 tractor pin from tractor supply,He drops the spring and detente thru one of the holes,Rotates it 180 degrees and then push's it out of the way with the take-down pin,Pretty slick operation!

    I just googled and that’s much easier than the right angle pick and some very steady hands I used last time.

    Yep I’m no long going to be apologetic about my iron sight skills. Minute of billboard you don’t say.

    I have tried some skinny post. Bottom line is figure out how to use the fatter one. In service rifle a wider post has it's advantage. More or less if it is skinny it gets lost on the aiming black. Skinny is harder in low light as well. I would say overall condition of sight beats width in good light.

    Saw the Ford truck commercial, it can back your boat up for you. Those people shouldn't own a boat, or a few other things I can think of.

    I never thought I'd do this but I'm thinking of thinning my herd of grills and smokers. Just need to figure out which ones go,

    That’s the hitch pin method and has been the preferred method for a few years on my bench.
