Good find Ma2. I know their were two different Sherman models at least in the movie. The three that were taken out by the Tiger are standard with the 75 mm gun that was the standard armament. The "Fury" was a Sherman Firefly which had a British 17 pdr cannon that had a better chance of penetrating the Tigers side and back armor. Neither of which matched up with the Tigers 88 mm high velocity gun. At the end of the war a few M47 Pershings started showing up for the US. These had a 90mm cannon that was better, but still not as high a velocity as the 88. The US Army uprated it after the war and put it in the M48 Patton, which still used gas so it was still a "Ronson lighter " so to speak. With the M 60 they finally went diesel. And retrofitted diesels to most the M48s.

I did not know that, but while I was watching it I said to myself "How the heck did special effects put that replica Tiger together?" You answered, it was the real deal. But everything, right down to the Sturmgewher 44's was completely realistic. A little of it was disconcerting, like what they did with bodies, but in a total war there are so many of them they don't really have much choice. Just a very very realistic movie.

Might be a good idea to wear a Haz Mat suit instead of a condom. But that being said, she is still hot.

Went to the movie of the same name last night. Have to say I enjoyed it and was impressed with the attention to detail in regards to WWII armor and weaponery the Director and Producer showed. There was some of the ten men taken out by one grenade, stuff, but not too much. For the most part it was gritty and real, right down to the ripping sound made by the MG34's because of their high cyclic rate. Have to admire our fathers and grandfaters who had the courage to go up against Tigers and Panthers in a flammable tin box like the Sherman. Outgunned and out armored, they gave a damn fine account of themselves. See it if you havent as of yet.

Ed, your getting better, that is all that counts. When it comes to accuracy, we really are only in competition with ourselves and what we did last time. 98 gave some great advice ( which I should take as well sometimes) skip the bipods, monopods, sandbags, etc. and practice good technique until it becomes second nature. That is a more usable shooting skill than any thing you do off a benchrest.

Four AR10 mags from Armalite, two 20 rounders and two 5 rounders for next hunting season and benchrest shooting. Also two of those Yankee Hill Machine Adapters that got lost in the mail!

He has some maturity and wisdom to go with that skill. And back to the tatooed lady, I don't have any ink, but damn, she is hot!

Have a few of those from the old days. Always worked well for me.

There is a translation bar across the top. Hit English. It is small and hard to see.

One , if it happened, it shouldn't be too surprising. Aegis has been around for 20 plus years, which in technology and military competition is a long time. It is no surprise the Russians, and probably the Chinese and the Iranians have had plenty of time to observe and study it to find its weaknesses. If true the Russians did the US Navy a favor by tipping their hand and not waiting for a shooting war to show off this capability. If the Navy is smart, and they are, they will analyze how it happened and implement a patch to prevent that from happening again, and perhaps realize even the best system has countermeasures to it, if the enemy is motivated and smart enough to figure them out.

It is time to climb down from the stand and strap on snow shoes and still hunt. The deer will be yarded up, especially if it is windy as well. Take an hour to go 300 feet, looking and waiting after every step, until you see some movement.

Good luck on the deer stand this season Shepp. With the way the herd is up here from last winter, and another big snow, I am giving our local ones a break this year. Twenty six straight years of hunting, and twenty four straight years of bringing in venison, I don't mind.

I will hit you up next year for your recipe. I used to have mine made into everything from Garlic Sausage to venison bacon, but the older I get, the more I like the straight taste of venison.

Awesome video. I have been to the Isle of Skye. That's what it looks like. All rock and heather up and down. He had nice weather that day. Notice that even on the knife ridge, there were trails. They have been used by Highlanders for thousands of years. No wonder those buggers are considered so tough. For them that is considered a Sunday walk.

Just picked one of these up specific to AR10B Gen II mags. Will report on it after I try it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H7BAYMY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Real nice, WG . Glad you had a good hunt. I am passing this year, the deer herd is in brutal shape after a bad winter last year. Just glad someone had a good hunt.

Welcome from next door in Northern Wisconsin.

Concealed carry, my Officers 1911 is cocked and locked and safety on with a DeSantis holster whose leather strap with snap tab Is closed with the strap between the hammer and the firing pin just for a little extra insurance. If carrying my My Sig it is in a fobus pancake holster with shell in the chamber and seated deeply enough that the holster properly covers the trigger.

Visual inspection with a bore scope and if I get the feeling that my groups are starting to get larger. Also, quality of ammo. Lake City, FGMM, my handloads not so much. Turkish, Indian, Pakistani, etc, surplus and Russian steel case? Every time I use them.

Up here the Bears, Coyotes, Wolves, Bobcats, Foxes(yes foxes) and Cougars are responsible for fawn mortaility in that order, with Bears number one.

Like I said, I never lived in rural Florida. Maybe it happens there. I did live in rural northwoods Wisconsin and Northwoods Minnesota, and for all the wolves, coyotes and dogs I have seen, I have never been attacked, except by two inner city dogs at two separate times. In Minnesota, if a warden finds dogs chasing deer, they by law have to shoot them. To Be honest you probably do have a better chance of being attacked by a pack of dogs than a pack of wolves or coyotes. I have been surrounded by coyotes while field dressing a deer and never felt threatened. They just waited to get to the gut pile. Now Cougars? They are another story. I have watched one shadow me out in Montana on a backpacking trip, and he wasn't particularly afraid, and didn't seem to care I saw him. I Was packing a .357 with jacketed soft points and was glad I had it. He finally left after an hour of following me. From my experience, I would take a story about wild dog attacks with a grain of salt, because it does not fit my experience. But I certainly don't rule it out completely.

Like a heavy friend of mine said when he saw Shamu at Sea World: "Does he come with vegatables?".

No doubt. Look forward to trying it out. Will report.

Actually that is what the adapter is for. it puts the gas block on the same plane as the rail the rear sight sits on. Then you add the 45 degree offset BUIS of your choice. Or standard BUIS for that matter. I have included a picture.
