I'll take a slice Prof.

Good. Thanks

45 Colt, 44 mag, 444 Marlin, 338 Win Mag, I'll take those. Let me know the total, thanks.

Learn how to Mortar the rifle. It's a simple technique used to get the BCG back and clear the rifle. If you have a collapsible stock you need to close the stock first.

The ejector looks flatter the a Neanderthal's skull.

Anti seize is a must in the future. Back and forth, tightening then loosening the nut will help the fit sooner or later. A Stillson wrench ( plumbers wrench ) while generally found in our garages, is not part of our rifle repair kits. Brother, after this screwup and a lot of patience with some guidance you'll be a master of this process.

I understand, two surgeries on my right hand so far. I bought a small BUL armory 1911 and it racks very smoothly out of the box.

Welcome from Florida.

Heavy duty stuff there brother. Thank you for posting. Those serving in WWII fought in the largest and most damaging war the world has ever seen. I think I'll finally mention to my neighbors that the flag should be taken down in the evening or lit up all night, their preference. @mrmackc I messed up plenty, denied plenty, and realized it's better to admit my mistakes and get on with life.

We all mess up sometimes. 11 Jun 2020 Military.com The U.S. Flag Code formalizes and unifies the traditional ways in which we give respect to the flag, also contains specific instructions on how the flag is not to be used. The following is a list of do’s and don’ts associated with Old Glory, the U.S. Flag. When displaying the flag, DO the following: Display the U.S. flag from sunrise to sunset on buildings and stationary flagstaffs in the open. When a patriotic effect is desired the flag may be displayed 24-hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. When placed on a single staff or lanyard, place the U.S. Flag above all other flags. When flags are displayed in a row, the U.S. flag goes to the observer’s left. Flags of other nations are flown at same height. State and local flags are traditionally flown lower. When used during a marching ceremony or parade with other flags, the U.S. Flag will be to the observer’s left. On special days, the flag may be flown at half-staff. On Memorial Day it is flown at half-staff until noon and then raised. When flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. By "half-staff" is meant lowering the flag to one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff. When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be suspended vertically with the union (blue field of stars) to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street. When placed on a podium the flag should be placed on the speaker’s right or the staging area. Other flags should be placed to the left. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall (or other flat surface), the union (blue field of stars) should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window it should be displayed in the same way -- with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When the flag is displayed on a car, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender. When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be so placed that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground. When saluting the flag DO the following: All persons present in uniform (military, police, fire, etc.) should render the military salute. Members of the armed forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute. All other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, or if applicable, remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. When stowing or disposing of the flag, DO the following: Fold in the traditional triangle for stowage, never wadded up. The flag should be folded in its customary manner. It is important that the fire be fairly large and of sufficient intensity to ensure complete burning of the flag. Place the flag on the fire. The individual(s) can come to attention, salute the flag, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and have a brief period of silent reflection. After the flag is completely consumed, the fire should then be safely extinguished and the ashes buried. Please make sure you are conforming to local/state fire codes or ordinances. Quick list of Flag Etiquette Don’ts: Don’t dip the U.S. Flag for any person, flag, or vessel. Don’t let the flag touch the ground. Don’t fly flag upside down unless there is an emergency. Don’t carry the flag flat, or carry things in it. Don’t use the flag as clothing. Don’t store the flag where it can get dirty. Don’t use it as a cover. Don’t fasten it or tie it back. Always allow it to fall free. Don’t draw on, or otherwise mark the flag. Don’t use the flag for decoration. Use bunting with the blue on top, then

Welcome aboard from Fl.

Thanks JT. I didn't know what the trackers were used for. I did consider its a breach of personal information.

Are there any search engines that are pro 2nd Amendment? I was notified I was being tracked by some google type apparatus while visiting here. Just curious for now.

Wow, very cool. " Clap on, Clap off." Don't forget where you laid that rifle down you may have a difficult time finding it.

Finally, 13 boxes of 6mm ARC delivered.

Shipped but no tracking number yet...

I'm getting warmer... Checked in on an order once more. 6mm ARC 108 Grain ELD Match 20 RoundsItem # 003-81608 $19.99 The other day after receiving an email I called and said yes I want the order. OK so far, CC was charged. The order was being pulled. Today the order was pulled and packed but no tracking yet. I've been waiting for this order since 6/18 and hoping to get the ammo soon. Anyone having a better time of it, getting 6mm ARC ?

"This note was found in an hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar on the porch of..."

Welcome aboard @BDPJEEP. I went to bootcamp with a fellow nicknamed Jeep. Unless you did 50 yrs and a wakeup it probably isn't you. Thanks for your service. A 20" bolt gun is a terrific piece of kit and will get you far. Well, good choices all around, especially the Kid pick. We have a bunch of good fathers here so you're in good company. Stick around if you will, and remember pics plus sincere and detailed questions are most welcome.

Put in an order, backorder anyway, for 13 boxes of 6mm ARC. I forgot about the order. Today I ordered, back ordered, 10 boxes of 6MM ARC. Both orders were from MidSouth Shooters. My first order (13), was put in 6/18/20. That order is now being processed. That's the backlog, from June 18th. So it's a 3 month time frame. This is my second attempt at getting 6mm arc. PSA screwed up by sending 5 boxes of 12 gauge dove loads instead of the Hornady 6mm ARC 108's. Hands held in prayer like clasp.

We all ate crow.

@Radioactive Yes sir I understood completely. I agree with you whole heartedly.

I'm familiar with women who got in my face. The males of the species not so much, they knew better. Unless like today the odds are at least 4-1. The story shared that day by Mickey was our troops were unable to get a foothold and climb up. Grenades were rolling back down hill. It was a slaughter. I am making a reference from a friend who was in the air and the inability to assist better was terribly frustrating. He shared that while tears were streaming down his face, some 5 years later. I am particularly satisfied with the treatment of later day vets and the thank you's for them. @Radioactive In the civilian sense I agree. The troops, the fighting troops were and are the finest fighting force known to man. I gotta slow my roll, I'm sounding to myself as I'm some expert. These are my memories. I don't think this era has been portrayed well enough. I don't like that word. ( ERA ) It was a freaking war. It was a war at home as well. Here's a shot at the times. At home some folks followed the media line, the Viet cong are peaceful farmers. Those mthrfkrs were fighting for 30 years, they knew how to fight. Peaceful my anatomy. Even during WWII jungle fighting was considered to be the toughest. You not only fought a well trained army but also the terrain and weather. Jose is in a foxhole surrounded with sandbags and it was dark. A kind of dark like a kid from Coney Island did not know existed. He hears a noise and is on full alert trying to decipher his next action. The story told was a bit longer but when he can't take it any longer he starts stabbing on the other side of his wall at the noise. He said it was the biggest caterpillar imaginable. A big huge fat caterpillar. So these troops are fighting what every participant in war fights, FEAR. These guys had a nickname for some incidentals. Hershey squirts, I know you'll figure that one out. BTW while sitting among this group in our little space the guys were laughing and so I laughed as well. Mickey Burns pulled me aside and said, "we're laughing a nervous laugh Bud, you're just laughing." He was right. I didn't know better. And yes I was wrong although innocent. Once again 7.62 and not the 556 was the preferred round.

Good going boys, there is still a lot of poison in our systems over that whole era thing. Tommy's dad was the neighborhood drunk. He was homeless and always always drunk. He was a highly decorated WWII soldier. I was never able to get any info from Foxy, as we all called him. Well you could get a spare change remark. Tommy had radio parts imbedded into his body so deep they could not be removed and he was told they might work themselves out, the shrapnel that is. He was adopted more or less by a local house painter and put to work. He was mostly getting fired and rehired. Booze had gotten the better of him. Of course it was PTSD like a mother_____r, for both of these men. The WWII guys called it shell shock. Before he ever went into the Army Tommo Salomo, one of the better nicknames he was called, was a tough guy, not a threatening person, but also no one you'd want to practice your bullying techniques on. He went AWOL when he returned from his mending overseas. Feds scoured the neighborhood looking for him and left threats and we were told to give him up. I suspect they would have taken care of him the right way and then again maybe not. Well he avoided arrest as far as I know. Eventually there was a sort of amnesty and the threats went away. Man, if I could type fast enough you'd see all the flashes of memories from those days. Eddie Moore, 3 tours Green Berets, LRRP, favorite call in strike Willie Peter, Mickey Burns helo gunner, Hamburger Hill, Richie Ahern 3rd Mar Div Kilo 13 as he often recalled during his say so. Mitchell Dedes Artillery also Marines, Jose Echevarria, ( sorry Joe if I screwed up the spelling. ) Quick story. We were going to party. Which means we went to get messed up, not the language I'd use for the time but... I'll just tell that this darkened one room apartment turned into our hooch for the day. On the table, serving 5 of us were a bottle of old man Schenely, Jack. and three other bottles of whisky. 1/4 pound of... , 5 cases of beer. I thought I knew how to party but these men, these hardened combat vets were far ahead in their abilities. I was the only guy not a combat guy. I was not a jungle vet. They were. BTW that was one of the nasty tricks Tricky Dick Nixon used to separate us and our collective numbers. Combat vets/ancillary vets. Viet Nam era vets. He created that idea. I'm leaving with all these folks preferred the 7.62, well Eddie may have wanted something lighter during his forays behind lines during his LRRP responsibilities.

Remarks by Attorney General William P. Barr at the Funeral of Cleveland Police Detective and Operation Legend Officer James Skernivitz. "I remember as I was growing up during the Vietnam War, some people were so blinded by politics that they vilified our soldiers and even spat on them. Fortunately, people have come to their senses today, and now people go out of their way to thank soldiers for their service, as well they should. You know during the first Gulf War when our troops rolled out of their bases to their embarkation points, there were crowds of people along the highway cheering them on. And when they came back there were ticker tape parades." I thank William P. Barr, Attorney General personally for that passage. Thank you sir. I know that those times are going to entirely fade as time slips by us all, but I am happy to be reminded by a public figure. I just thought I'd mention a local hero nobody knows and no one cared to know. He was sickened when they issued him a 16 and took away his 14. " I could shoot the eye out of a squirrel at 50 yds with my 14." Was he bragging, I don't really know. He might have been able to, but them a nice beer buzz does add a bit of flourish to Veteran conversations. Well deserved flourish, well indeed and "Take Heed." Fox, Charles, T. I have his Mass card somewhere as well as a few things he gave me. He was hit In Chu Lai during a battle in 1969 or 1967 I forget the exact date. He loved the 308. He did not care for the Mouse gun. No way Jose. Sometime during his enlistment, he was not drafted, which means something for that Era, he became a D.I. This is going to be a long one so I'll get back to this thread. Quickly though, he was in the 82nd and proud of it even though he had to hide his feelings because of what William P. Barr alluded to above.
