It's about damn time you popped up brother. Been wondering why we hadn't heard from you lately.

I only used the AAC flashider on one rifle, and that was a PTR G3 clone (so that doesn't count for this). Other than that, I've used the AAC brakes and comps on all of my 10 B's. Never had to stack that many shims in order to time them. I would guess that you could just bottom out the flash hider, and not worry about it. Maybe, just use a couple shims just to fill the gap so you don't have any threads exposed (just for GP's). Any reason why you wouldn't want to use a comp instead? They're pretty nice, in my opinion. How long till the cans arrive?

Good to hear from you SS. Sucks about the genset. Sounds like my luck.

Damn! I guess I'm on my way then Wash. And I'll have beer (and Rene) with me too.

I like having the back-ups just as a "piece of mind" type of thing. The cost of them sure as hell beats the alternative. Don't get me wrong, as I said before, I trust the optics that I install and use on my weapons.

Now THAT's fukin funny.

Luck of the draw my brother.

No wonder you fit in so well around here.

Did somebody bash Rock River?

Damn Sketch. Talk about your major surgery.................... I hate following up water damage.

Welcome from MD.

It wasn't meant that way at all man. We all tend to yank each others chains around here. But please...speak up whenever you feel like it, and say whatever you want. It wouldn't be the first time I've ever been kicked in the balls. Hell. I'm used to it at this point.

Dude! It screws onto the business end of your rifle. What other instructions do you need?

As if you'd turn down a nice Ribeye if it was set down in front of you.

That's a hell of a price for a Springfield M1A. Surprised you didn't pounce on it Sisco.

Interesting article Blue. And where, like the author says, I have confidence in the optics that I place on my weapons, I see BUIS's as what they're named for. They're there for "back up". So I still place them on all of my rifles, from the shortest to the longest. To me, the $200 cost for a good set of YHM or Troy sights, is more valuable than letting a scumbag possibly take me out if the optic battery dies.

R2 had already hit the ground and started moving. The entire MO of him dropping before the rest of the team was for him to secure ground transport. And that, was exactly what he was moving towards. He had moved, through some long open fields in the tall grass for approximately almost 2 clicks. The bright October moon was casting tall shadows in the empty field as he came upon the vehicle that had been placed for him beforehand. It was tucked just under some tree cover, in the darkened shadows of the moonlight. He recognized it instantly. It was a black, 95 F-150. Similar to the one that he had owned before. He laughed to himself as he settled into the drivers seat. Hell....it almost felt the same as his old ride............almost. With that....he fired the engine. He sat there for a moment......then started laughing to himself, realizing the humor of the brothers who had found this vehicle and placed it here for him....as he stared at a cheesy bi-pod that had been placed on the dash (yeah...I get it). With nothing but the sound of the engine idling, and the discreet sounds of nature in the background, he said "Fuk it....Time to go". Then....jamming it into gear, the truck moved off into the darkness. Heading for it's rendezvous. THE APPROACH: The team was approaching the small emplacement (target). The area had been cleared of trees, obviously, just enough for the structure to be built, with a small clearing around it. Matt was at flank left. Rene (unforgiven) at flank right. With Tom (98) at the "6" position. Edge and Robo were lead center. They were spread approximately 5 yards apart as the entire team came upon the "outer perimeter" that had been defined in the mission OP. Upon hitting that line....everybody came to a halt....and then waited for the signal from the team leader. The building was a small, one story structure. Nothing really extravagant. There was a porch the width of the front of the structure. It had a single door on the front side. No lights on....but you could almost make out 2 figures standing "security" on either side of the door. There was one other door on the back side of the structure with a set of stairs that led to the grassy "backyard" area. The building had a pair of windows on each side....with curtains (or blankets) closed over them from within. The entire team was still in the patrol "T" shape at the outer perimeter marker. Edge held out his right arm at chest level. First with the closed fist "STOP" motion. Then, hand flat and palm down, he motioned it lower to his waist. The team members, keeping an eye on the team leader, lowered themselves to a "one knee" kneeling position as Edge assesed the situation. They were close enough that they could just about here sounds from within the structure. Edge, being the closest, was making out the sounds. It sounded like a pair of wet leather gloves being thrown onto a hard floor. It only took moments before he realized, that it was the sound of a human body being beaten....again and again. The sound of fists, on sweaty or bloody flesh. Edge keyed his mic and quietly whispered "This is it boys". The team members responded by "clicking" their mics (in sequence) back at him one by one. No words. Silence. After he counted the four clicks, he looked towards Matt, giving him the quick clockwise swirl motion with his hand. Letting Matt know that he was going in from his left flank position into that left window of the structure. Matt began to move off quitely into his position. He then looked over to Rene and gave him a quick counter-clockwise swirl motion. Meaning he was going in opposite of Matt from the right flank position. Rene began to move off silently. He turned to Robo, and gave him a wide-gesturing slow counter clockwise swirl. Indicating that he was to move around to the "back door" of the structure. Rob gave a downward "chop" hand motion and proceeded to silently move off, working his way around and to the opposite side of the structure. With that, Edge turned around towards 98. Their eyes locked, Edge pointed at him....layed his hand out flat again....and then pointed at his ass. 98 got the message of (stay on his ass).....gave a shortened "two-fingered" quick salute back in his direction and started to move up closer. The time was at hand. Edge looked at his watch......counted off another 30.....and then keyed his mic and whispered "R2....SitRep". The earpiece of all team members crackled "Less than two clicks out.....and closing fast. On-site in 90 seconds"! Edge keyed his mic again, and whispered "Team ready"? All that was heard was the four sequential clicks of acknowledgement. He knew that this would all be resolved in that 90 seconds..........more than likely. He keyed his mic and whispered "GOD......you got the two up front?" A brief moment. Then the response from Stain (hope you didn't forget that he jumped last). "God is watching"......and then a soft "Thud"! And the guy to the right of the front door had one side of his skull sheared off. A second later......and another soft "Thud". And the guy to the left had the top of his head ripped off. A few brief moments passed until Stain hit his mic and simply said "The sea is parted". Hearing that, Edge hit his mic and said " Now, Now, Now"! WE'RE GOING IN!

Now those bad boys have some potential.

Nope. I surprised everybody with it. I kept my mouth shut from the time I ordered, until I picked it up. Because as we all know.....pics or didn't happen. Now there was PLENTY of ball bustin for the bi-pod though.

^^^^ This right here. These guys make great stuff. I've got a bunch of stuff from them. From slings to chest rigs, I love their stuff. Just don't be in a hurry when you order. But you won't be disappointed.

Why, yes.....it did.

I see what you did there.
