Welcome from Iowa!

Happy New Year! Icing on the Cake Imperial Milk Stout from Grimm Artisanal Ales Sterling, VA, brewed June 2018. Aroma is a boozy chocolate with a hint of dried fruit sweet. Flavor is fantastic, a nice boozy bite up front rich layers of chocolate and dark chocolate follow each other. There is a touch of sweetness throughout, like the sweetness from raisons or a dried prune as well as some vanilla. Ends with a mild charred malt note, nice and smoky but not overbearing on the bitter end. As it warms it transforms, the booziness' stays but the chocolate gets milkier, the charred malt subsides a bit more and the fruitiness goes to a nice ripe Black Cherry syrup. A top notch stout, fuqing ambrosia, 22 ounces is plenty!

Strippers works as well.....

Yes. Another lesser known quality mount that has 20 MOA slope; https://www.aadmount.com/30mm/index.html

Cool Out Tropical Stout from Exile Brewing in Des Moines Iowa. The nose says hazy IPA, has a mild tropical fruit aroma. Taste starts out all stout, smoky malt, bitter dark chocolate but then shows the Cool. Gets a somewhat sweet coconut banana tropical vibe going then finishes with a chocolate and dark coffee note. A many layered and well balanced beer.

Wife gave me a set of those Walker's Razor muffs, nice tight fit, sounded good, not as clear as some Caldwells I have but a better fit around the ear, smashed those wire frame glasses bows right flat. I really like these electronic muffs when it comes to having the younger ones on the range, big benefits if they can hear you talking to them. I wear plugs and muffs when shooting except 9mm and 300 BO suppressed, then just the plugs. I have that cursed ring in both ears now, been paying attention to ear protection for maybe 15 years, couple decades late I guess.

Blowing From A Gun DIPA with Indian cane sugar and quintuple dry hopped with five different hops, El Dorado, Calypso, Cashmere, Mosaic, and Hull Mellon. Brewed by Dorchester Brewing Boston Mass. For Nightmare Brewing and distributed by 12%. Not getting much for aroma, faint citrus and tropical fruit, light bread dough maybe. So the artwork is fitting, flavor goes off like a bomb! Tropical fruit and ripe citrus followed quickly by a sweet cane sugar burst that is balanced with lots of green hop, dankness, pine, fresh lawn clipping green, I know that's a smell but fresh cut grass comes to mind when I taste it, odd maybe but a super tasty beer, complex with a balanced ride.

Did that twice with loctite 609 no problem. One had only been on a few days another for near a year. Could be my surface prep is not the best but it was filling gaps so mission accomplished.

Zach's Mexican Doughnuts Spiced Oatmeal Stout from Singlespeed Brewing in Waterloo, Iowa. It does have a little cinnamon and chocolate aroma, some coffee but mostly that roasty malt aroma. There is a spicy chocolate flavor, lots of dark coffee, most predominate is the smoky toasted flavors. Nice creamy feel in the mouth but finishes light and crisp for a dark Porter. Layers of flavor that goes down easy.

It hasn't been used yet, fell into it secondhand for a good price, sort of. What I see is real nice but even on sale can't say I will pay the price for another, never had a problem with a $29.99 Andersen upper. Maybe it will shoot lights out and send me down a rabbit hole. Armalite did similar for a time, SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) Mod 1, always wanted one just never enough to pay the extra. https://www.ammoland.com/2010/02/look-at-the-armalite-special-purpose-spr-mod-1-rifle/

Sorry, should have clarified, just a proponent of doing it when you can, no enhanced in hand. Give it a go on the enhanced, just start out on the light side and see how it looks.

I have used the 609 on the extensions of all the rifles I have built now. There were a few that were up and running beforehand but most are done from the go. Those that were retrofit didn't show it as a miracle cure for large groups BUT none showed any negative. I have tore down a couple that it was used on and had no issues. For me using the 609 is more a confidence booster, one less thing to wonder about. Considering all the other things that are done in the name of accuracy bedding the extension with 609 is low hanging fruit, so easy to snag it on the way by.

Public Servant Firefighter Edition DIPA brewed by Dorchester Brewing Boston Mass. For Evil Twin Brewing and distributed by 12%. Kind of a bready bananas aroma with a hint of citrus. Has a sweet malty backbone right up front, ripe citrus at first but quickly goes to those dank and piney hop notes. The bitter from those hops is balanced very well by the malt, a tasty kinda old school IPA.

Welcome from Iowa!

Omnipollo Agamemnon Imperial Stout brewed by Twelve Percent in Strattford Conn. Stout is so fitting. Thick dark inky look with some lighter floaters when hit with 300 lumen. Aroma is boozy first, like a good bourbon and some maple syrup, dark maple syrup. Flavor follows nose, nice hot boozy bourbon melts into some maple syrup and smoky wood chip flavor. Has some dark roasted coffee flavor with a milder chocolate taste hiding in the background. Has that super dark charred wood note but it doesn't overpower, just fades to the background. The 12.5% ABV is noticeable, kind of pleasant.

Welcome from an Iowa Armalite fan!

I am blown away! And Mike put in some extras, chips from the process and a cool little chunk of leather for use when butchering. Charging up the good camera for some pictures soon, what a great piece of Art!

That's what I have been using, came with my Wheeler ring lapping kit.

Stepped out of my box now.

When I think of swilling I think of drinking can after can of beer designed more to deliver a specific rate of alcohol and made with the cheapest ingredients that will pass above any taste requirements. Most often I drink one, maybe two when sharing or on a weekend. I read your post and got a chuckle but couldn't respond right away. I made a stop at a somewhat local beer pusher on my way home and caught a relatively fresh batch of beer I have really liked in the past. Immediately thought of you when I saw it, had to bring it home and thoroughly enjoy a fresh hazy IPA, no hat, cost me three bucks. I just knew you would appreciate the name this Brewery decided on; I hadn't heard that one yet. I have heard a good bit from friends and family in that same vein so I have a canned answer for them.....FvvCCk Off..... I like my fairy nectar

I forgot about that, lapped one of their receivers for the brother in law. It was good to go, basically just leveled out the cerakote and it was good.

Phosphorescent Freethought Galaxy IPA by Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore NY and distributed by 12%. Has a mild tropical fruit aroma, little citrus and some mango. Flavor follows the nose, grapefruit, mango, some peach in the middle with some hints of pine bitter throughout but coming on stronger at the finish. Also has a subtle caramel note in the middle. Has that creamy mouthfeel that leaves a touch of that oily feel. A nicely balanced IPA

Wishing mine was a M. Didn't sell that model when I bought but next batch of stamps needs to be one of those. It does look complete!

I have not found that, Aero and Matrix needed a good bit. Anderson has need some work, and two DPMS were just horrible. The only one I have had good from the start was a Vltor. This is both platforms.

I don't have my .338 Fed dialed in yet but loving what I am seeing, really soft shooting. Swapped that 4x16 PA scope for a Vortex 1x8, needs and deserves a paint job as well.
