We finally got some rain this week, thanks to a hurricane on the Gulf coast, and I discovered that the fresh precipitation had encouraged some rather large mushrooms and toad stools to rapidly appear in my yard. One in particular was growing on a tree stump in my side yard where I normally shoot. It stood about six inches high and was about the same across the top. Now, being the individual that I am, and wanting to try out the new Eagle flash suppressor/sight combo, I naturally turned to my stainless Mini to help eradicate the offending fungus. Thirty rounds later, I had scared the cats and dog, scattered a toad stool over about ten square feet of yard, and had a really silly grin that I just couldn't get rid of. Ah, simple joys are the best. No bench rest, no worrying over groups, no fiddleing with spotting scopes, just the simple fun of blasting away off hand with open sights and a full clip. Oh, yeah, the new sight/suppressor worked great too!:2guns:

PSG-1, I live out in the sticks just north east of Attalla, which is just North of Gadsden, in case you don't know where Attalla is. Cajungeo, good luck and batten down the hatches! We just usually get some rain and wind, usually very little damage from them dang water tornados, but y'all folks down there closer to the coast usually have a mess to clean up. Keep yer head down, and again, good luck!:ar15:

Holiday,

How much length does the Eagle sight/flash hider add to the barrel overall? (Just curious.)

B E , I don't have a measuring tape handy, but it looks to be just under two inches, about 1 3/4. A .223 case dropped into it from the muzzel dropps in to just past the shoulder of the case, if that helps. What I like about this set up, other than the better front sight, is the fact it is macined from heavy bar stock, not stamped out. Hope this helps, sorry for the delay. I've been on vaction.:2guns:
