Hello Gents,
A fe months back I posted regardeing my first ever Plasto blaster, a PRT 91. Wifey wanted her own EBR so I looked at M4 type mousers and didn't care for the price. I know! I'll build one and save some money! I thought with the help of a friend I could be in it for about 700 750. You see, I know squat from an AR, green as wood. Well, we have a Rock Island lower and a DPMS upper with four position stock, 16" 1 in 9 barrel and $250 bucks worth of Troy sights. I would have spent less but the store had Troy and cheezy stuff for fifty bucks, I bought the Troys. So, at present I'm about a grand into this thing. I should have just bought a Noveski and been done with it!
Now to the best part. I anted this gun to be just for little wife. she was all excited but could not get any kind of sight picture. I explained, I drew pictures, I demonstrated. Even down to the most simple monkey see monkey do kind of thing. All to no avail. The woman has no trouble doing pistol work and for a novice does all right. In our 17 years, Did I ever do an eye dominance test? I thought I did...
But no. I assumed, and we all know how that works. Yep, left eye dominate. "Oh! now I get it". said she.
So I entertained the notion of getting a LH upper and starting over. I'm past that now. I may have to pay the bill, but she will have to live with the result.
I'm just chalkin' this up to edumacation and cutting my losses.
