    So a few weeks ago, I went to bullet hole and mag dumped in private bay 3 to notice that my front irons for my Glock flown off. It was an green tritium Ameriglo front sight. I torqued it before I went to the range, but I guess it wasn’t enough. So, I’m down 50-80 bucks on few front sights. Anyways, have you guys ever lost anything valuable during your time at the range?

    Gunz are icky.
    Yes.
    Loaning out tools to Bubba McRetard on the next table who never brings any to the range.
    I get busy and forget to demand them back.
    Get home only to discover Bubba never returned my tool(s). DOH!
    Driven off and left staple gun several times. DOH!
    I saw one guy drive off leaving a spotting scope once. He returned later.
    Range buddy asked to borrow my binoculars. For some asshat reason he set them on the back bumper of my truck. Getting all the stuff back in the truck to leave I assumed he had returned them to the case where he found them. I drove off and they fell in the road near the range entry gate. Luckily another friend found them laying there, knew they belonged to me, and returned them to me. I never even knew they were gone until he called me about them.
    Lesson here is don’t loan things out. LoL.

    You sure are damn lucky. I was looking for something that was like the size of a small Lego lol. Legend has it that it’s still in bay three till this day.

    Maybe go back after dark? Glows right?

    Get one of those magnetic sweepers and run it over the grass where you lost it?
    Bullet hole closes around 7:45-8:00 PM. By then, it’d still be sunlight. I’ve already accepted that it’s gone too. xD

    It's well known that Glock uses the word "perfection" very losely.

    Last year I was in the office of Cedar Ridge checking in and a guy came in asking if anyone turned in a firearm that he left a few hours earlier.

    I've seen lost firearms, a 9mm PCC and a shotgun.

    People have left ammo cans full of ammo.

    Spotting scopes, magazines...

    I've personally left tools, and one time some prick ran off with a nice set of peltors. :mad: Hope that asshole got into a wreck on his/her way home.
