I stopped on my bike once at a crosswalk to let a lady cross three lanes of traffic. Normally don't do that on a motorcycle but a truck that had been behind me was still there, so I did. The head car in the center lane stopped, and the lady started across. As she was about centered in front of the car in the center lane, the driver starts honking...<honkhonkhhoooonk>...and she looked at him like "WTF is your problem?" And just then a Monte Carlo in the curbside lane locked up the brakes and skidded through the crosswalk, big cloud of rubber smoke, at like 40mph. The pedestrian would've been toast. Jon

Just another day out riding. Not! Jon

LR308, what can you tell us about this fellow we don't know over here? Jon

Jon

"Dirty and barky"!! <lmao> Like me! Jon

Of an aerodynamic stall. This is when the wing loses airflow over the wing, causing the boundary layer to separate and quit producing lift. In most aviation circles this is just called a stall. I've seen media explain this as "the engine quits and the plane falls out of the sky." If you have any altitude, you may just glide to the safest spot. Seven people died in this crash. This looks very similar to a crash in California of a Flying Tigers DC-8, where the load wasn't secured properly. When the aircraft rotated at takeoff, the load shifted to the rear of the cargo hold and that was all she wrote. Nobody will ever regain control of any aircraft that far out of balance, feet off the ground. Jon http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=icfVsql38oc

I'd read that our troops in Iraq were tripping out, because dogs wouldn't come within 500 yards of them...because muslims believe dogs are unclean. And do crap like through bricks at the dogs. Probably got one too many buttwiping hands bit by dogs thinking they had a turd snack. Jon

Some do move. Others go into the mountains or to the lakes during summer. Jon

He's wearing spandex? Jon

I found some .45acp I'd been hauling around in a miscellaneous gun-crap box for probably 20 years. Some of it was as corroded as what you show there. I pulled about half of them, fired the rest out of the Bisley Blackhawk Convertible. It handles 300gr .45 Colts smoking along at 1,200fps, it should handle some overaged acp ammo. Jon

There are LAR-8s available on auction sites and in-stock. If you need one NOW, cancel your order and buy one. I'd bet your order price is a bit better at this time though. Jon

I been busy taping dynamite to arrows for that Charger ride. Jon

Hhmmm...still a big secret. There was an ad for Arizona on that news page though! <thumbsup> Jon

I'm pretty sure the RRA poly are Thermold. Definately not the same material as the pmags for the AR15s. Jon

Hammer cadence! Jon

I've had a couple that had corrosion on them...but just a small spot, like the center of this o. Jon

Howdy from AZ Tim! Jon

In a rifle, of those posted, I'd only shoot #1. Now at MSC, the range is used by a number of LE, private security, and commercial contractors too. While MSC is required to police all their brass, nobody else is (I'm not complaining about free brass!). There are quite often live rounds left in the dirt, from them running drills. Much of it is very new if it is found not long after being dropped (I'm not complaining about free ammo!). Some though gets dropped and has dirt kicked over it and it disappears for a period of time. With pistol ammo only I've tried some in various pistols just to see if it would fire. It all has! I've tried out 9x19mm, .45acp, and .22LR that looks like it was dropped during WWII. Living in the dirt keeps most of the corrosion to a minimum but it looks old...very, very old. We found a bunch after the Appleseed this past weekend. If I remember, I'll take photos and post a range report. Even found a varnish-coated steel-cased .308 that I won't shoot out of my rifle, even though it is new. Jon

CONDOM HISTORY: And yet another interesting piece of history: In 1272, the Arabic Islamic Muslims invented the condom, using a goat's lower intestine. In 1873, the British refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the goat first. Don't thank me, I do this as a public service for the advancement of Education Jon

Woof! Jon

They ARE cool! And the people I've experienced are top notch! Jon

You're welcome! Where are you located? Was your choice for the LAR-8 based upon FAL magazine availability? Jon

Wow! Good for you Rob. Tell your Dad I had a bad month at the range, will you? Jon

I look at it like this: Every capable hunting rifle has its roots in a war rifle. But the Second Amendment isn't about hunting...it's about war, which is why we need the latest whizbang personally portable technology out there. The ban isn't about kids getting killed in a highschool or elementary school, or people in a movie theater. A ban is about politicians and elites seeing an armed populace as an external conscious to the evils they wish to commit unchecked. Jon
