An outstanding find Rene. Our beloved Corps birthday is upcoming. We can tip one back in the desert in celebration.

A beautiful evening here outside of our nations capitol. 63 outside, I've got all the windows open. The boys at Andrews Air Force Base must be doing maneuvers, or touch and go's tonight. Got a lot of war birds in the air flying by every couple of minutes. Sometimes it's nice living in the landing pattern for the airstrip. You can hear your tax dollars at work. Now.....the C5's can get loud as they "spin up" for landing.

Whoa. Looks like Vic is gonna blow a gasket in this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AI1nfUa4dQ

I'm right there with you when it comes to the fact that airports and people SUCK. Hey......that's why I'm a hermit for christ's sake. BUT, somewhere around that 28 hour mark of grinding. You start to feel it in your organs. I can't put it into any other words. I felt it each time driving non stop from the east coast to the SDTF. And then back. Just something starts to really let you know that you're NOT having a good time. Now granted.....that's because I'm a psychopath.....and would do the gumball rally (all you young ones, look it up) ride from point to point. At least you're taking your time and actually looking at what you're driving through. Me...........and whoever the unlucky bastard that has drawn the short straw to be riding with me (Matt and Kate). All that was seen was...........................................

And just because it makes me laugh.

Dude. As grueling as the 34 hour ride is from my front door to Tom's front door. This country has some absolutely beautiful areas, that you only get to see as you're traveling by ground. Aircraft give you a breathtaking perspective of this great country of ours. But ground level grinds across this vast country of ours, shows you some truly awesome sights.

Oh..........NOW you're gonna try and save a couple bucks.

Welcome from Maryland.

Yeah it was. Outstanding find Al.

Oh, you're talking about cattle. When you said heifer, I thought you were talking about women in spandex seen at walma...............................uhhhhhhhhh....................nevermind. I got off track. Some times these fingers just type whatever my brain is thinking of at the moment. Bad fingers, bad fingers. (not the band)

^^^^ Yep.

That's one way around it.

Sad but true.

Happy belated birthday brother Roman..........................................Fuker!

The PRS is adjustable, but not collapsible. They're sturdy as hell though. That's what I run on both of my AR-10 SASS rifles. I would only suggest to think about whether or not you want a 20" barrel. If you're building this to be a bench gun, or for it to be used in a (fixed emplacement) sniper type of role, then the weight won't make a difference. But if you're planning to use this gun for something on the move, you might want to consider a shorter barrel. Many people around here (myself included) will attest to the distance that that the large frame AR platform can reach out to. The average 16" 308 AR can easily reach out past 500 yards without any problem. And the weight really shaves off with as the barrel gets shorter. Plus the whole maneuverability factor. Not knocking your plans at all my man. Just throwing out things to consider with your build. Edit - I went back to my last SASS build thread. She came out weighing 15 pounds empty. Just for refernce.

Last time I checked, I blew out 1 (or 2 maybe) of the 3 gas rings on my MK-18. It was still running just fine. I might get around to replacing them before my upcoming trip to AZ.

Unbelievable. I've seen pics of B-17'a with their tail blown off and landing. Even seen pics of B-29's shot to hell and still making back. I've never even heard of a B-52 having this kind of catastrophic damage AND flying back and landing under it's own power. A tip of the hat to the captain and crew of that stratofortress, and Boeing. The B-52's have been around for a lot longer than most people even realize.

I can see there's gonna be lots of steak dinner's at Al's for a while. Would you like a side of steak to go along with that steak?

I don't necessarily agree with this statement. This part is highly accurate though. Welcome aboard from Maryland.

Keep laughing smartass. All I need is a notary public, and then.................. YOU LOSE! Good day Sir!

Thank you Doc. At least SOMEONE gets it. (laughing)

I already eat like a caveman as it is. I eat better at the SDTF than I ever do at home. Too! I gotta figure out a way to get you out of the trust. Little angel? Ahh....you've met her dude. AND....it's Star TREK stuff my man. There's a difference. After all. My model starships are better than their's can ever be.

Holee $hit! Flashbacks from being a kid. Every fall, my pop and my mother would load my middle brother and me in the car and drive down into Luray (in Virginia along the Shenandoah's), headed for the roadside apple stands. She would have us load up as many bushel's of apples as we could fit into the trunk of that '72 Lincoln. If I remember correctly, we could squeeze between 6 and 8 easily into that big ass trunk. Then we'd go home, and the assembly line would begin. After that, I don't think that a meal would go by, throughout the fall/winter/spring, that we didn't have apple sauce and/or apple butter on the table. That might be one of the reasons why I don't eat the stuff these days.
