I was able to shoot my new AR15 yesterday (first time really shooting one for more than 3 shots). I was able to get a Colt LE6920.
And I found out that because of the stock design (ie. straight with a detached grip) the normal ear defenders I normally use are not ideal (I have not found a pair of plugs that I like for many years, I have very small ears). I can deal with it for awhile but it is not good long term situation.
Way I see it I have two choices.
1) Sell the rifle and take a loss (M1A is the next one on my list)
2) Fork over the money for a scope and ditch the irons
3) Custom molded ear plugs
Option three I think is the better one. But I am not sure if it would even work. I have never found anything in ear for me that works, this includes Sure in ear headphones, dozens of different ear plugs over the years (drumline and factory work), or any other in ear head phones. It makes me a little nervous about spending the money.
For custom molded ear plugs who is your preferred company? I am in Houston TX so I am sure I could find an audiologist locally to get molds if required.
What is a typical cost of something like that? I see anywhere from $150 to $700 with little reason for the difference.
I am also thinking a rating of 28NRR or better would be what I need?
Any help is appreciated.
