I thought my mini14 was suddenly going subsonic till I changed my hearing aid batteries. It seems like a toy, after shooting some FGMM 175 match in the 308 L.R.

I want to thank you fellow members of 308ar.com for your concerns and well wishes for my recovery . Believe me it is appreciated.

It takes a special talent to shoot your self multiple times in the back or back of the head but we have had several suicides done that way in Texas one guy down in South Texas committed suicide my shooting himself in the back 17 times with a.22 rimfire rifle, at least it was a semiautomatic

I am doing better still on a walker but am in outpatient therapy getting stronger each day. Driving and just need some more time to heal that big old bone. I have been doing some grilling on the gas grill. We have been getting a lot of rain. Got an appointment with another orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion on July 18, as a precautionary measure. I don't want to put all my eggs in a single basket.

That stuff works right good in my M1A! Temporarily out of stock!

98 be careful them thangs may make you give up women for mermaids. Damn , Wash, any Texan knows them creatures ain't crawdads they are grub worm tails.

Anyone wanna guess many rednecks them mountain oysters would feed? WOW them are one hellatious set of cohones. And I thought that Ohno bird was hung.

Welcome from another Texas live in. Many folks don't know it but there are a good mess of Eyetailians down on the Louisana Gulf Coast as are anywhere, however the kept the Eyetalian name and have done converted to the COONarse lifestyle and cooking. You won't ever know what hit you until you spend a few months in Laffayette or Houma. Them folks will celebrate at the drop of a hat, and with a fine Crab & Mudbug boil, down at the park. I have seen them celebrate not having a flat on their Dodge Ram for a whole week!

Great data notes are super informative!

Coffee with Jesus A Republican, in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked is that Jesus sitting over there?" The waitress nodded "yes"! So, the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him. The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus, over there?" The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat." The third patron to come into the restaurant, was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there honey! How's about getting me a cold mug of Miller Light! He, too, looked across the restaurant and asked, "Isn't that God's boy over there? The waitress nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold beer. "On my bill," he said loudly so everyone in the restaurant could hear. As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up and began to praise the Lord. Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening up, he raised his hands and he, too, began to praise the Lord Then, Jesus walked, with a huge smile on his face, towards the Democrat. The Democrat jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me....... I'm on disability."

A PROPER WAY TO CALL SOMEONE A BASTARD A guy was getting ready to tee off on the first hole when a second golfer approached and asked if he could join him. The first said that he usually played alone, but agreed to the twosome. They were even after the first few holes. The second guy said, "We're about evenly matched, how about playing for five bucks a hole?" The first guy said that he wasn't much for betting, but agreed to the terms. The second guy won the remaining sixteen holes with ease. As they were walking off number eighteen, the second guywas busy counting his $80.00. He confessed that he was the pro at the neighboring course and liked to pick on suckers. The first fellow revealed that he was the Parish Priest. The pro was flustered and apologetic, offering to return the money. The Priest said, "You won fair and square and I was foolish to bet with you. You keep your winnings." The pro said, "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" The Priest said, "Well, you could come to Mass on Sunday and make a donation. And, if you want to, bring your Mother and Father along, I'll marry them.

A good guy with a gun on the scene works somewhat !

A FISHING STORY The king wanted to go fishing, so he called on the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours.The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days, So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmeron his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area".The king was polite and considerate, he replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him."So the king continued on his way. However, a short time later a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition.Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster.The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain." So the king hired the donkey. And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the government and occupy its highest and most influential positions. The practice is unbroken to this date and thus, the democrat symbol was born!!!

I am home and doing home health care therapy going where I am allowed using a walker till I get enough healing time on the broken hip, actually the femur broke just below the hip joint, they put in a steel plate and screws, that takes longer to heal than a hip replacement. I go to outpatient therapy week after next. Getting rid of the walker is my next goal.

All you young whipper-snappers just need to quit thinking you are on your last legs and enjoy life. Hell go ahead and take a few risks. Inhale! Have someone hold your beer and go ahead and try something! Look who's talking. I messed up and broke a hip a couple days after getting my new M1A scoped and range ready and been in rehab. It will be a couple of weeks with a walker before I get to shoot it. Turned 80 in the hospital. Live it up while you can.

Anyone actually know for certain, what make, model and caliber rifle the shooter used in the Alexandria attack? It seems strange to me it has to be a big deal keeping it a big secret.

He!He ....Or as Chesty P would say A whole "$hitpot full" of them!

Been there,.... done that,...... March 1960......... MCRD.

never used an Armalite buffer spring, Tubbs Flat wire springs are so smooth I will stick with them, not a bad price either. I don't shoot enough to wear out one in a monkeys lifetime.

Take your time getting into retirement mode don't try to get everything done the first two weeks you will wear your self out I was completing our cabin here at the lake and ended up getting the shingles back when I retired in August of 1997. Welcome to the happily unemployed!

Back up to $19.95.....

Yep there is "DPMS pattern", and there is DPMS brand. No guarantee that the dimensions are the same across the pattern and the brand.

I would ask what are you going to be shooting at, and with? If you are going to be shooting at someone that may be shooting back then I would go BIG and expensive both with the rifle,mounts and glass. Or if it is long range trophy big game. I would not spend as much for tools spend more on the trip. If it is non-competition paper punching I go kind of inexpensive, And when I was working full time keeping food in my family of four rug rats a wife and myselves bellies and a roof over our heads and in order to keep shooting. I went bargain basement and did a lot of trading up.

I have a DPMS Oracle LR308 and got it for a good price at a LGS .The rifle a 308 4 -18 power BDC scope mounts, and a Mech Armoury trigger and CH sling, swivel. cost me less than $1100. Check around the local shops for really good price. Lube it up really wet and break it in like the LR308 manual says. Get familiar with the assembly and function. Then do some mods. Trigger, glass, CH and you can have a good shooting.308
