  1. Larue or Geissele are the way to go.
  2. So, at the fall shootfest out in AZ back in October, at one point, Rob wanted to run my 300 black SBR with a can on it (my oldest 762-SD). At that moment, he saw that something wasn't quite right and that the can wouldn't screw onto the muzzle and stay tight. Both him and I looked at it, and found that the ratchet teeth (for the QD mount) had spun out of the damn thing (well....afterall.....it's almost 7 years old at that point). So after my return to my super secret East Coast base (FUK that drive), I dealt with AAC and started the process of returning it to them for repair. The ratcheting assembly is part of the registered device, so they couldn't just send me the parts to repair it, they had to repair it themselves. So, by the time Christmas rolls around, I have everything sorted out to send it back to them......which I do at no cost to me. They sent me a return shipping label that covered all of it. Now. Flash forward to this week. The can comes back to me via UPS. I unpack it and check it out. Not only did they repair the ratchet mechanism, but they welded a whole new nose on the thing. I know that because it had a slight egg shape to the exit hole (on the bidness end of it) from a high flyer that came out of it once. Coming back, the thing looked new. Then, they obviously stripped it's anodizing and re-applied it. I could tell because the anodizing had been worn off around the serial number from use and abuse before it was sent in, but the whole thing had a brand new coat applied to it. I'm fuking impressed. Apparently, a lifetime warranty STILL applies to some companies in this world. I was ready to pay something for the repair (afterall, the thing was FAR from new anymore). But after the initial conversation with the guy on the phone at AAC, I never heard from them again. They simply fixed it and sent it back to me. With NO cost at all. I repeat, NO COST AT ALL. THIS is why I love AAC equipment. And for all the mother-fucking that any of us may do about Cerberus group (now the parent company of Remington/AAC and others), they still honor the original warranties. Besides the fact that I already own multiple AAC suppressors, I'll continue to buy them in the future when I want new ones. Here endith the sermon. Carry on. As you were.
  3. Sounds like this could end up either one of two ways. Either one of those forum stories from the back of the old penthouse magazine, or a police report.
  4. Welcome aboard.
  5. God damn, this whole thread has me crying over here. Especially about the Dodge target.
  6. I've said this for a long time. We need to get his ass back to work.
  7. Welcome from Maryland.
  8. I usually only say this to women........but nice cans.
  9. I'm liking these setups too. They look pretty slick. I've never even considered the plastic cans in the past. I'm Gonna order me a couple of those.
  10. Looks like a comfy spot you'll have in the fall Doc. I'm sure that Kate will love it too.
  11. Screw that alexa stuff. I don't need any google powered crap at my place. Those bastards are intrusive enough as it is. You can't avoid them (at this point) cause they're so deeply ingrained with all of the sheep, but I try anyway. One day, people are finally gonna figure out that google is the evil of the world. They're not here to help us. They have their own agenda. Oh, and the automation running at my place is all hard-wired stuff (not counting IR for the TV/stereo/Blu-ray). I did the programming for it all through the central controller that has web access, but that I keep buried deep behind a DOD type security barrier. So no Alexa $hit breaking into it.
  12. Welcome from Maryland.
  13. Uhhh.....it takes me at last 34 hours to get there my brother. At least ARMED the way I usually am when I show up.
  14. Gotta agree there.
  15. Oh hell no. Definitely not new. You're right. You'll pay for a new copy of that.
  16. I count myself lucky. The friend of mine, gave me personal tours on weekends throughout their facility before they moved it from Suitland Maryland to Dulles Virginia. Some awesome aircraft from all of the different era's. From the early days in flight, to some modern (for the Smithsonian) birds. We were able to crawl through some of those old warbirds and get the feel of being inside them. Once again. Totally awesome experience. Some of the old WW2 German stuff is amazing when you crawl around in it. Simple....yet totally functional. Brilliance from an engineering design (which I think they were known for). He even has pictures of him sitting in the blackbird that they received (in the drivers seat of course) as well as the original Enterprise shuttle. They've got so much cool $hit that it can't be summed up in a couple of paragraphs. They've still got the original Apollo "suits" in an area that's sealed off from everything. WAY FUKIN COOL!
  17. Nope, you can find it cheaper brother. A damn good book.
  18. GREAT fukin book!
  19. A buddy of mine works at Air & Space. He works in the restoration Garber facility just outside of DC. They've got so many cool aircraft. They've recently been moved to the Hazy facility at Dulles. Something about the blackbird though. That thing is too cool.
  20. I was just watching a video of Major Brian Shul. An Air Force Vietnam pilot. Oh........and he happen to be an SR-71 Pilot, and this was a pic (what kids would call today a selfie) in his rear view mirror. Why they would have a rear view in the worlds fastest ever plane just makes you laugh. Bad screen cap, but still a cool picture. Well, at least in my little lizard brain. Pic taken at mach 3+, by the way. Apparently the major was known for keeping a camera with him. He loves photography. Shocker....especially of fast flying birds. Too fukin cool. Love that aircraft. 100% American. Kelly Johnson and the Lockheed skunkworks at their best. Carry on.
  21. Payment Inbound.
  22. Well....you know me. I don't do the whole paypal or venom. Cool if I do the zelle bank transfer like before?
  23. Welcome aboard from Maryland.
  24. Those things are down-right SEXY Rob.
  25. Welcome from Maryland.
