Wow! I did not realize it has been cut that much. I shoot maybe 500 rounds of 45 ACP a year, and consider that barely enough to keep myself proficient at a civilian level with my 1911’s and my FNX 45. I want to increase that this year to 1,000 rounds via reloading and hunting for ammo deals. Cuts have gone too far, period.

I like the fact I can carry it double action with the safety off, or on, or carry it cocked and locked with the safety on.if I am carrying it in a belly band, which admittedly is rare, I would have the safety on and have it in decocked DA mode, just in case the trigger snagged pulling it out. I don’t see it as a drawback at all, it just gives the user more flexibility to fit his preferences. Most the time I carry it cocked and locked just to form muscle memory habits so I don’t have to think about it when I switch from the FNX to one of my 1911’s.

Truth. 1911 and the FNX 45 have the same grip angle. FN did that on purpose.

The B AR308 BEQUE

I can see there are some Epic Mommas Day Q's underway. Here is the start of my contribution. 2 untrimmed sirloins from our cow. For comparison that is a 10 inch blade on that chef knife. Steaks are 1 1/2 inches thick. After pics later

Did Springfield pay Mauser the royalty on that one? Trying to remember if that royalty was paid because of the trigger or the bolt design. Anybody remember? Love Springfields and 1917 Enfields by the way. Course I am an easy mark. I love Garands and M-14’s as well. I am shooting a Savage all stainless weather warrior in 30-06. Gotta admit it’s accuracy puts my old 1917 Enfield and my old Remington 760 pump 30-06’s to shame.

+1 Though in this case, some Break Free CLP might be more appropriate.

Remind me to take a picture of one of our round steaks, 2 inches thick and 20 inches in circumference.

Point made. Just don’t see the advantage of a 9mm 20” barrel AR. Ammo price maybe, but not at what that bird wants to get for it.

Grass fed isn’t necessairily tough and stringy. Genetics and supplementry diet plays a role. Up here, with our winters, 100 % grass fed year round is not an option. Look at some of the cattle country in the southwest, and burrs, sage and other stuff probably account for a good portion of the cattle diet. Preparation also plays a role.Pork is a lot leaner then in years past as well. So I brine my pork and even brine my beef at times, if it is a traditional tough cut. The beef I get is a mix of grass fed, some corn and other grains. It works and works well. Tender, not over fatty, and good flavor.

Why would you want an AR rifle chambered in 9mm? A carbine, maybe, but a 20” barrel rifle? If it is that big why not get a rifle caliber?

I will check it out next time I am in Madison. Thanks.

That is what you guys should have at the Fall Shoot!

Also the Madison Costco sells whole frozen New Zealand lamb carcasses prepared for roasting at a really good price.They are hanging in a freezer on the end of the frozen food cases.

Lamb, the key to good lamb is less in how you cook it (should always be medium rare) and more what the damn things eat. All grass fed like in Patagonia is perfect, but impossible here. Too much corn in their diet, and they get a fatty, gamey muttony taste. Cut back on the corn and substitute more barley and it is exceptional. Used to buy a whole lamb every year from a friend until he quit raising them. He learned by trial and error. He used to have a whole lamb rotisserie roast over an oak fire every fall. He just put garlic cloves in slits in the meat ( lots of them) and rubbed it down with olive oil and rock salt. You brought your own booze and a sharp knife, and just cut off a chunk while it was on the rotisserie. I still start to salivate when I think about it.

Going out tomorrow again.

That is a nice reticle!

So what does it give me that my Primary Arms 1x6 lighted reticle 223/308 BDC recticle doesn’t? ??

Went out today for four hours. Got four coho and a bit bigger brown trout. Good season so far.? Water temperature was 33.4 F yesterday and today. Had to break skim ice with the hull of the boat for the first quarter mile until we hit open water today.

Thats what I do to relax, fish or shoot. Just resigned all my officer and advisory positions in sporting organizations and government commissions. They were taking up so much time I didn’t have time to do either, and really wasn’t accomplishing any thing. I am supposed to be retired, what am I doing all this stuff for??

Those stream browns can get dark. Some have some really beautiful markings.

Sir, you have got a point there, a very good point! ?
