  1. Another Canadian making it big in the US of A The song that first got him noticed.
  2. ain't that the truth
  3. I sent it to a buddy who I think will appreciate Bill A while back I call a buddy to see what's up and he's out buying boots. Of course I'm curious... workboot,hiking boots? Nope it turns out he's boot shopping with his girlfriend because she needs another pair of boots and feels this would be good 'together' time.Yet for some reason it seems when he needs to go and buy something(tools,car parts,guy stuff) she doesn't feel those activities are 'couples together time'
  4. What's that saying about generals always fight the last war, I wonder if the secret service focus on previous assassinations and attempted assassinations to develop protocals and countermeasures limited them? I think the most valuble tool that Delta brought to this was the ability to plan and execute the plan.
  5. Learning to ask the right questions is a skill in itself. For me diagnosis is putting together a jigsaw puzzel. I have a 'picture' of what I should have. I then start filling in the easy/key pieces by testing ang checking. Unlike a jigsaw puzzel once I correct the wrong piece the rest of the picture auto fills itself. Once I learned to scan looking for what is right, what is wrong is way more likely to jump out at you.
  6. We set that up to greet the guy that goes in that shop building first thing in the morning. We may have also may have done something so all the lighing didn't come on and said person needed to pass by ther spider to reset the lights
  7. Ann Margret is a total class act unlike the tratior who's name is not worthy of being mention in the same sentance.
  8. Put me down for 2 triggers and if needed to round up to 5 five I'll go for 3. So checked up here and the only scource was US$140 😲 As to painting I'll have to confirm closer to FallShoot. On time currently booked off,showing up a day or to earlier is doable not sure I can swing the following weekend to stay for match. Sticking around for a day or two after shoot is also doable.
  9. Did anyone ask the donkey how feels? Arizona made the news up here https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/arizona-is-so-hot-pavements-are-giving-people-third-degree-burns-says-doctor-1.6912635
  10. Nope, it's a 2-stage which the C7CT has, Canadian made so readily availble up here. I get dinged with around 35% or higher once you factor exchange rate and being brought in when looking at American made trigger. I like it's adjustable and drop in unit and have enjoyed several Trigger Tech. That being said I'm always open to looking at other triggers, maybe throw in a plain trigger for now and upgrade the trigger while it gets painted
  11. Update- Barrel ordered along with low profile gas block Hogue free float forend( closest tube style handguard I could find) ordered Ergo pistol grip with palm shelf ordered Left to scource out( look for sale/deals)- Trigger Tech 2 stage trigger A2 stock, if I can't get a good fit I'll look at something like Magpul PRS GEN3 or Luth-AR MBA Bipod Optics- I did find a refrence to a Leopold MK4 3.5x10 but it seems there was some personal operator leeway given
  12. Big issue up here is getting AR barrels. So on the shelf currently are( .223 Wylde, 1-8) - Ballistic Advantage, 18" Stainless Stel SPR flutted or 20" Stainless Steel DMR -Criterion 18" Chrome Moly Hybrid or 18"&20" Stainless Steel Hybrid. I agree that there is no real advantage to the 20" over the 18" so now starting to consider this a C7CT inpired rifle. Comparing the C7CT to C8CT(16" barrel) I'm still liking the C7CT over the C8CT, I'd rather cone a MK12 mod H for a 16" AR As far as doing it, once we decide on the barrel(gas block) I'll have that ordered( either tomorrow evening or Friday afternoon) also the pistol grip,trigger,handguard. Haven't nailed down the stock, love the A2 style stock but two concerns are cheek weld and LOP adjustability ( tee shirt to winter jacket) Also still no joy on the scope but that's the least of my worries.
  13. It really suck that as Canadians we can no longer(at least currently) even the civilian versions of the C7 and C8s. I'd love a C7 with green furniture.
  14. Video came at a good time, doing some research and now waffling between C7CT( Canadian version of MK12 1/0 but 20"barrel) and C8CT( Canadian version of MK12H)

  16. So no luck on figuring out the optics yet. So where things are barrel wise, so trying to find a 20" heavy barrel in Canada is not easy since the ban on sale of ARs here. What are people's experience/opinion with Ballistic Advantage Premium Series 20" .223 Wylde DMR Contour? Other option is to order a barrel from the same guys that cut the barrel for my 6.5PRC.( about 2 month out) All the other bits aren't so bad and just a matter of finding the best deal.
  17. The bottom picture is pretty cool, kinda makes me thik of a rocketship entering the atmosphere.
  18. Some info Many accurized versions of the AR-15/M16 weapon system are available at this time. The most notable being the Mk12 MOD 0/1 rifle in use by the United States Special Operations Command. Due to the inherent accuracy of this weapon system, it is possible with little effort to get a match grade barrel and have it shooting sub-moa at 100 meters. This degree of accuracy has both military and law enforcement applications. Diemaco produces two basic versions of accurized rifles/carbines. The C7CT (Custom Tactical) is a highly modified C7A1. This rifle has a 20-inch heavy non-chrome lined, hammer forged barrel with an aluminum free floated barrel handguard. The barrel is designed to take a removable noise/flash suppressor very similar to that of the Mk12 MOD 0/1. To enhance accuracy, the rifle has a two stage trigger and titanium firing pin. The upper receiver has a flat top upper receiver with either a mil-std-1913 rail or the Canadian Weaver rail. Often the scope is attached to a Triad scope base to allow other devices to be attached. The buttstock is fitted with a removable weight to counter balance the additional weight of the heavy barrel. A bipod and sling swivels are also standard equipment. Additionally, a modified pistol grip is used to enhance performance. The maximum effective range with Canadian C77 ball ammunition is approximately 600 meters. The big plus even though I don't have a finished rifle to list I have a reciver serial number and a barrel length so can submit the info onto my form 6 The stock,pistl grip,tubular handguard and bipod should be relitively easy to scource. Still need to figure out the scope used or at least the power range. The nice thing is I can still use an AR barrel( get one from IBI) and once ARs are free to roam transfer all the parts onto a Colt reciever. What do you think Tom, any chance it's worthy of a custom paint job?
  19. The 224 Valkyrie is done and now have to work up loads, as to the others still scourcing parts but have listed them on my ATF form
  20. Technicaly a GILF but Damn she's
  21. Yeah what Tom so eloquently said...
  22. We try... would be better if we didn't have to but it's importantto give the government a
  23. Are you talking about the Mapleridge Armoury side charger? Just to be clear it's not a semi but a straight pull back bolt action rifle that allows us in Canada to strip the parts off our ARs and continue to shoot. Once we get the OIC(order in council) reversed,parts can then go back to their origional AR recivers. To the best of my knowlage they are not currently being sold in the US, as it is now they are having trouble keeping up with demand in Canada
