Fun trip to the range this morning. Had one problem with the Barska, lost the red dot and had turn it to another intensity to get the dot back. I hope this is not a short or something. Anyway 20 rounds fairly fast, I always have a problem with the first shot. After that I'm OK. 10 yards on the target.
On the red dot, be sure the battery cover is on tight and also that you are on a brightness setting and not in between. Also, that red dot can disappear in a hurry under bright conditions. I can usually see my red dots in the house on a #1 or 2 setting, but may have to go up to an #8 in bright sunlight. If that dot disappears on you on it's own, though, not worth messing with a repair. I'd just take it back and exchange it for a new one.

Here's what happens:

Got the call today from my FFL, 40112 "500" series ready for pick up! Dropped everything and ran over there.
I've always shot my dad's MKIII bull barrel, but I must say I really dig this 6.8" slab side barrel, suits me just fine!
Initial changes made; changed the grips out to the Hunter series...
I always shot my Mk3 22/45 hunter less accurately than my early 22/45 . I thought this was due to the Hunter's wide v rear sight. I read that the rear sight could be interchanged without disturbing the bases, so decided to do so. Took the pin & screw out of the old 22/45 with no problems. When I...
I have recently purchased a used Mark 3. I disassembled and cleaned it, it took a LOT of effort to get the barrel off. I reassembled it and it worked fine (pulled back the bolt, clicked the bolt release, dry fired, repeat).
I bought a tandemkross hammer bushing and installed it, and put...
