  1. There is something to this;
  2. Welcome from Iowa! Disclaimer, I don't know a thing about these guys, the part, or your rifle so confirm this all before hitting the buy button. I just found it on the AR parts finder site. https://ar15discounts.com/products/hera-arms-ar-10-308-irs-quad-rail-handguard/?avad=134063_c257dfe31 http://www.arpartsfinder.com/instock/index.cgi?type=rail&quant=25&s=ar-10&min=&max=&sortby=price-desc
  3. In my review mirror. Recycled from my Pumpkin when it gave up the ghost. Welcome aboard, hit the intro section and tell us a little about yourself.
  4. Made a good portion of my income being outside below freezing, countless recreational hours at below zero, love the new fabrics for those lightweight base layers and wind covers. I don't really have one coat or pants that are heavily insulated, just lots of variety for layers in differing conditions. Feet, again those modern moisture wicking materials are a must for the base, then I go with good old wool socks and a pair of Sorel's from the 90's with felt wool liners, replaced a couple times and needing a new set now but the boots are still solid. I spent 300 and something on the best carbon fiber toe/insulated boot Redwing could sell me, Gore-Tex and Thinsulate and other fancy terms, didn't come close to those Sorel's but having warm feet on the job isn't safe. Those military Mickey Mouse boots did great until the moisture caught up, never could get that solved beyond continuous sock rotation. Same things with hands, those military mittens I was issued in 83 are great, most two layer mittens are the best option when warmth alone is what matters. Actual working gloves have always been like socks, keep rotating into dry and no problem, wool lined leather was always my answer. When I didn't need the durable surface on the glove I got a pair of Seirus gloves that blew me away, did a day outside in the rain just above freezing, outside they were soaking wet dripping, inside my hands were warm and dry, expensive but the real deal. God I love the cold!
  5. Welcome from Iowa!
  6. Welcome from Iowa! The grain that function best in your weapon.
  7. I caught something in the reading about it making a good electrical contact, third highest melting point of all the stable elements and the highest boiling temp. Looks like now's the time to play with that stuff, prices are down to $250 a troy ounce, measure twice
  8. Now I know why there was a Ball jar shortage! That right there is some serious motivation Brother
  9. And gonna make some lawyers a bunch of money, best liar wins. For me your analogy to backing up and drawing a glock is an eye opener. If I'm on the jury I'm thinking guy that lived there presents gun, guy that doesn't live there continues his schit, play stupid games win stupid prizes......... doubt I ever make a jury.
  10. Not unique to the military for sure, that's about the only type of medicine I can find with insurance these days, push push push the pills, they got a pill for everything....they think anyway. Gabapentin is a joke, they just up the dose till the side effects distract you, there's about three others they push in that class, all of them pour water on my mental fire and that's not an acceptable thing. Turmeric does way more for me than any of that crap.
  11. Why do the anti gunners not point at this event? Has anyone ever seen a coherent and documented breakdown of the nights events?
  12. Funny as hell and so politically astute, wonder what he thinks of them censoring Blazing Saddles?
  13. ^ Yep, that carbine recoil system WILL run. With that recoil system and and the proper sized gas port you shouldn't need an adjustable block. I have an AR-10 I run suppressed without one, just used one of Heavy Buffers spring and buffer sets.
  14. That and a bunch of random crap hyped by the msm. I rather enjoy these "cycles" the industry experiences, at some point it provides me with lots of bargains. I'm already seeing parts prices dropping fast, When the holiday sales don't save some there will be blowout sales to make the note payments, the CDNN's of the world will be flush with new product soon....... I don't buy stock but I still buy the dips. That said it's not real healthy for the industry long term, as we have seen with many iconic brands.
  15. Welcome from Iowa!
  16. Welcome from Iowa!
  17. Wife just picked up one of these, 32 ounces of this Canadian goodness at Sam's. It isn't the richest maple syrup I've ever had but I don't recall ever seeing it this cheap. https://www.samsclub.com/p/member-s-mark-maple-syrup-32-oz/P03000256?xid=plp_product_2
  18. Are you going to try the warranty route? Kinda curious, what version wrap?
  19. That's what I thought, those numbers @98Z5V kept putting out on it corrupted my caliber purity ideas, you just get so much bang for the buck, literally!
  20. Was that the Black Hills Gear brand? The 30 or the 60 round version? I haven't had an issue but never went past 30 rounds 5.56 or 20 on a 308.
  21. Welcome from Iowa!
  22. Welcome from Iowa! Don't fret if the first few boxes of ammo see some glitches. Sig tends to build stuff tight so a little break in might be needed before it hits the run like a sewing machine level. Clean it, extra lube at the start, shoot 400-500 rounds before you start to consider any mods., that's my 2 cent anyway.
  23. I showed up after a week off to find $10,000 of netting and plastic installed under a bridge I was inspecting on, just for a quart of touch-up paint, if they would have told me the plan I would have let them hold a chunk of cardboard under the work
  24. I've shot them in a few rifles, bought a few years back now, no function no matter what the setting but they shoot for me, maybe if you weakened the buffer system and opened the port they could run something, I thought they were louder than my 300 BO can on both, I thought quitter with the longer barrel but hands down the 300 BO wins for me. If it's the same 200 grain they use in their 300 BO load I'm constantly dumping scraps of jacket out of the suppressor from that load, seemed like a batch issue as I shot them all the time without issue then it was a rattle can every time.
