  1. Second babe in the news clip is hot!
  2. Is this some new-fangled, super secret Dupont powder?
  3. Follow up on the AeroPrecision USA arctic camo build. This is a real shooter. I finally got out to the range to sight it in and function test it. About 100 rounds, flawless function beginning to end. The G2S trigger is a real wonder! It's great. Followed a good barrel break in (1 shot, clean; 3 shots, clean; 3 shots, clean; 5 shots, clean; 5 shots, clean; go shoot.) I was amazed at how dirty the barrel got after only one or two shots (mostly IMI 77 grain BTHP Razor core). After trying out several sets of the Magpul Pro sights, I can say I don't like them. They are extremely well made, not a problem with that, and they finally put a narrow front sight post on it (it was like sighting in on a 2x4 with the original front post). The front sight wings are way too thick, don't bend outward enough and give me problems with sight picture. YMMV. I much prefer the KAC USMC sights. Those are great. 50 yds sight in, stringing is my fault with the inconsistent sight picture. Next time I'll put a 9x3 scope on it just to test out the accuracy. My daughter will like this rifle. Tried offhand on 100 yd and 300 yd silhouettes. Silhouettes didn't have a chance that morning. Very easy to transition from one target to another. This rifle has absolutely no recoil, it's easy to shoot, it's fun to shoot.
  4. Welcome from the LA swamps. I spent many years chasing oil rigs and seismic crews all over Montana. Loved the western part around the Crazy Mtns. and Big Timber. Best beef ribs EVER in Miles City at the (now burned down) "Crossroads" diner.
  5. You're no longer a virgin. Congratulations!
  6. Well, last one is out of the house. We brought our youngest to UCF last week. Gorgeous campus, but you can keep Florida. HOTTER THAN HELL, no breeze, and like living in an ant hill there are so many people everywhere. Daughter loves the school, great roomates, and only a few miles from Disney. Already involved in campus clubs. Wife has already planned a few trips to visit. I'll try to take in at least one football game this fall. UCF ranked 17th in preseason FWIW.
  7. I don't know why he apologized to me directly. Geez, some people are so thin skinned.

  9. I think you all missed the obvious. The guy has a "woody" and he wants us all to look at it. No thanks.
  10. Just get the "Bass-O-Matic"! Easy-peasy.
  11. WOW! That is a beaut! But I'm a bit confused. You write that you had a gentleman "do the receiver" but it has Auto Ordnance on it, what do you mean?
  12. I'm not second guessing her actions or your honest assessment of a situation I would never want to be in. I won't do that to any LEO's actions in a situation like this. I'm saying this POS is a waste of protoplasm and I've no patience for him or his kind. People who recklessly endanger their own lives and the lives of others don't deserve to continue breathing the same air as I breathe.
  13. You should be horse-whipped for that. The "mind's eye" can cause horrific damage.
  14. Too bad she didn't just pull her weapon and plant him once and for all.
  15. Which probably means they're fighting a rear-guard action. They know they're losing.
  16. Not from here originally. Besides, I'm an American. I don't have to eat bugs, vermin or weeds and think it's gourmet. I'll take my beef steak any day!
  17. Yuck. Sounds like a haggis convention.
  18. Not my girl. I'm the one with the bad temper.
  19. I forgot to mention the parts list. Aeroprecision Arctic Camo builder's kit with 15" M-Lok forearm; Ballistic Advantage 18" Performance Series barrel, rifle length gas system, 5.56, 1:7 twist, QPQ nitrided, 41 oz; Yankee Hill Machine non-adjustable, clamp-on gas block; Magpul STR buttstock, SL grip, 20 round magazine, all Arctic camo painted by Blowndeadline.net Geiselle G2S trigger; Magpul Pro front and rear sights; AR Stoner customizable LPK, carbine buffer spring, carbine buffer, 6-position mil-spec extension; Standard AR15 bird cage. It went together with minimal fuss... no lost springs or launched detents. Only a few expletives
  20. Just put this together for my little girl. She was looking over my shoulder back around January and saw this Aero builder's kit. "What a pretty rifle." she remarked. Well, that was all it took. This was her graduation present. Finally had some free time, so we (mostly her) put it together this weekend. Great daddy-daughter time. Now to get to the range with it.
  21. Might have to turn in your man card. ?
  22. 50 pushups for adulterating the whiskey.
  23. It's not quite down to the canned chicken level, but there are so many other good things to eat. I can do without snake.
  24. Oh, you think so?
  25. After reading all the literature on this newest wildcat, it really seems to be living up to its hype. I searched the forum for it, and I didn't get a clear sense if anyone has actually bought on yet. Anyone on here own a .224 Valkyrie yet, build one, shoot one extensively, etc.? Just trying to get a feel for if it is worth getting into yet another caliber.
