Found a Meprolight M21 with the bullseye reticle at Universal Mania for $391 (they have it listed as a Mako M21) Best price I've seen so I talked myself into it.

Ol boy might not wanna show his face in one of our yards

Awesome info. Thanks mrmackc

Do ghost guns go boo or bang? Haha I guess some ghosts can have teeth after all

Wouldn't that be nice? One company I rate an F- in customer service is Modulus Arms. They sent a scratched up receiver and when asked for an exchange the best they would offer was a 15% credit for me to have it refinished on my dime. I've since learned the quality difference between a cheap forged part and a good billet part, so theirs went into the scrap pile and are on my don't buy from them list.

Pistol length: 6-3/4" Carbine length: 9-3/4" Mid length: 11-3/4" Rifle length: 15-3/16"

Got the replacement BCG in a few days ago and it works fine. Gotta say the customer service at Ballistic Advantage is better than I've seen anywhere else. I've never seen a company that would send out a $200+ replacement item before receiving the return back & checking it for problems but Ballistic Advantage did. They even provided the return label in the box the replacement was shipped in.

All the dough means I buy fewer slices/leaves more $ for other things, like ammo

I had a frozen pizza once; it was an unspeakable horror. But I like Pizza Hut deep dish so my judgement is questionable at best.

Cat got your tongue? lol

I don't know what model it is but this one still has the BA flame logo rather than the Aero "A". I hadn't heard of their hook-up with Aero before you mentioned it and a check of their website says Aero purchased a majority share of the BA company in Dec 2014 and BA is operating as a majority owned subsidiary of Aero. The 'ding' it is putting on the case rims is very noticeable by feel but I haven't had much luck getting a good clear picture with this phone-camera I have.

Well it turns out that the new Ballistic Advantage BCG has some kind of an issue, perhaps with the extractor judging by the marks it puts on the rim of a case (kind of like it is just ramming into the rim without slipping over and engaging it). The DPMS BCG works fine in both uppers and the BA doesn't work in either. Fortunately, BA is being great with their customer service and has shipped a replacement without even waiting for the return to arrive.

500 rounds IMI 7.62x51 147g M80 and 500 rounds Prvi Partisan 308 145g FMJBT and some new mil-spec 50cal & 30cal ammo cans to store some of 'em in

What kind of file are you working with? WHen dealing with photos I like to stick with .jpeg's

Congrats to those of us with great gals & guns. My gal can knock skeet out of the sky with the best of 'em (well, maybe not as good as those really really good pros haha). Love the Colt. Sweet shooting!

Testing in progress

You're welcome. I have a new phrase "Clicking away everyday" but they still don't have the barrel nuts for their M5 308 HG's.

I am hoping to get an Aero keymod HG for this Aero M5 upper I have but if Aero never gets any barrel-nuts back in stock I may have to go with an SLR. I put a Solo on my DPMS LR308 & love it.

We should offer Nemo Omen's (in caliber of each soldier's choice) to every Marine, or any other weapon one chooses to use. Personally I like the Nemo's, I just can't afford them.

It is very sad to witness the degradation in many military units over the last 30-40 years but the purging of competent soldiers & leadership over the past 8 years or so have taken an especially heavy toll. Technology (and what's left of the competent soldiers in uniform) props up the current military machine these days and if SHTF like Chine & Russia teaming up with the rest of the evil-axis in the world against us, well, all I can say is dig yerself a DEEP foxhole & try to take care that it doesn't turn into a grave.

So was Rantoul at Chanute AFB (back when it was an AFB)

Last I looked, a day or so ago, they still had some available

Dip 'er in molasses & chicken feathers

I got that one too. Don't need that much of their stuff but wish they would have a lower $ amount for a discount.

Peoria. An old friend was from there. He didn't care for it much for some reason. Howdy from Texas & good shooting.
