  1. I rather add than subtract. Helps the "resale value" of parts. <lmao>
  2. You need some shims/washers so that it stops with the holes facing up. http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/barrel-parts/rifle-barrel-hardware/washers/shim-kit-7-62-5-8-24-0-750-od-sku276000030-60403-126208.aspx http://www.ebay.com/itm/Muzzle-Brake-Alignment-Shim-Set-For-5-8-24-Threaded-Rifle-Barrel-308-SAF0002-/151289555840 http://www.gem-tech.com/store/pc/Shim-Kits-for-Mounting-Flash-Hiders-p104.htm
  3. Chickenshit indeed. I use the MIL system. :D My brain is wired for metric. (BTW, 6283.185 mils in 360 degrees - rounded up to 6400 for US Military and rounded down 6000 in eastern bloc countries so you have to pay attention if you have an east german or russian scope with MIL hashes) Mr Ed - now, do you see why its worth paying extra for a FFP scope with a MIL-based (or MOA-based) reticle?
  4. Basically they are angle measurements. MRAD = MIL (aka Milliradians) -- that's the military/metric standard (6400 mils in 1 complete turn). It's also defined as 1 mil = 1/1000 -- i.e. 1yard @ 1000 yard distance, or 0.1 yds (3.6") @ 100yds, 0.5m (19.68") @ 500m MOA = 1" at 100 yds. e.g. A 6-ft man at 100 yards = 20 mils (or 20 MRAD) tall as seen by an MRAD/Mil scope reticle Same 6-ft man at 100 yards = 72 MOA tall as seen by an MOA scope reticle BTW, if the scope is NOT a first focal plane scope, you have to set it to the correct zoom factor before estimating ranges. This is usually max zoom or 12x zoom on some scopes. In a first focal plane (FFP) scope, the reticle zooms with the image and stays calibrated so you can estimate ranges at all magnification factors.
  5. F*king around with the new CRKT cutting up labeller cartridges. Blade already nicked from a tiny internal spring in the cartridge. <lmao> <laughs>
  6. There's something going on that we're not seeing...good/bad? That just keeps me wondering what the point of the trade is.
  7. The serrations on the KA-Bar a a little odd. Instead of the triple-point serrations, the "points" are rounded and look more like a "triple bump" instead. No other complaints about it though.
  8. Qatar. I believe they orchestrated the entire deal.
  9. Still waiting on my NiB BCG from PSA ($119, free shipping).... the wait continues.
  10. Thx... it's not Chinese made. :D :D :D
  11. A "can" could be disguised as a beer can. If it's a big suppressor, you could still hide it as a can of Foster's Lager. I think the ATF won't even notice.
  12. Derp...yeah, the mounts are reversed. LOL Lemme guess who.... Tom? What did he do? Put the ring on the front and the sight post on the rear? <lmao> <laughs>
  13. Here's what I got this week to start off my collection. CRKT M16-14D KA-Bar 8" Tanto FYI - I was "enabled" by Blue.
  14. That's a no brainer. It's a free-for-all out here. Only difference is I'm trying to not get my brain fried and end up like you, Mike, or Tom. <laughs> <lmao>
  15. Xmas in June!! UPS guy came bearing gifts!
  16. O RLY? Nice... NC is back on the table!
  17. Perhaps he was traded back to stop any further damage he could do to the security of US Operations in the area? CNN, CBS and other MSM have picked up on this.
  18. LOL... showed it to my oldest and she was ROTFL with me. Wife walks in, show it to her and she goes "meh". Ruined it for us here.
  19. Suddenly moving to LA sounds like pretty good option. :D
  20. Came across this post while browsing BP: http://phoenix.backpage.com/SportsEquipForSale/1100-quality-tactical-ar15-for-saletrade/28248682 Poor sap has been trying to sell this forever but nobody seems to want it. Wonder why.... <laughs> <lmao> <lmao> Can you say "scope eye"
  21. See, I'm passing on my cheapassness to you. I'm waiting for customers to pay up b4 I decide if I need a new toy. :D
  22. More greetings from AZ!!
  23. New toy and more accessories for the P226.....
  24. Nice! Congrats on the new rifle!
  25. Yep... it has me wondering if I should just pick up one for sh*ts and giggles. Worst happens, flip it on backpage or something and not lose any money if I don't like it.
