Oh, and take the loudener (flash suppressor) off of it or put a linear flash suppressor on it. That will make it more pleasant for the little guy to shoot. He won’t need hearing protection in the woods either
First off, good luck taking a 6 year old. Been there done that. That being said, make sure the gun fits him. Pull out one of the ARs with a collapsible stock. Easily adjustable to small shooters. Preferably with a scope. 5.56 is not great for deer but with a confident shooter and a soft point...
Because he’s over 18 now. As in he was a “child” when the show was scheduled to happen. Just wanted to point that out in case folks hadn’t thought about it. I know it hadn’t occurred to me until I confirmed my tickets.
Don’t do any prepping at all if the whole “turn the other cheek” is going to cause you to hesitate in the time of need. Lots of animals that want to hurt you and your family out there. And yes, i consider humans the worst animals. Lots of different views on this. I’ll tell it to THE judge
