Usually there are several Memorial Day threads that serve to thank our Vets and remember and honor our nation's fallen warriors. All threads being topical, this one is about holiday sales, and doesn't disregard the purpose of Memorial Day. I agree that we shouldn't lose sight of the real purpose of this day, but I also agree with the point already made about how we memorialize our fallen. The point being, after the shopping and the BBQ are finished, take the rest of the day to contemplate the loss of our brothers and sisters afield. Lastly, many thanks to our brothers here on the forum who sacrificed years of their lives to serve a purpose much larger than themselves, to you we are grateful.

Fulton Armory always has some good sales: http://www.fultonarmory.com/

Calling Dr. MaDeuce, your patient is standing by.....

It's a reverse psychology ploy to keep them from getting in gunfights where they have to face a .45ACP. I don't blame them, I don't want to be up against one either. :D

There's not even really any barrel to speak of, it's just a fancy split-second flamethrower...

Screw with a Viking and you get the horns, that's all I'm gonna say about it.

Nothing like a sore pecker, you can't beat it!

Well, I've seen a few of the regulars here sniffing footprints but I don't know if that's the same kind of tracking....

ROFLMAO Nicely done!

LOL That's daddy's boy!

Hope you get feeling better soon Magwa, the entire family just came down with colds and we're all grumpy and irritable.

LOL I guess the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" monkeys have a brother they don't talk about....

It might have been even quicker to just say from the start that you had your mind made up and weren't really seeking input, but to state your opinion. <dontknow>

We have a "Good to Go" thread if you'd like to leave some feedback for our friend Yoda... <thumbsup>

Thanks, I'm enjoying it. Once I get better adjusted to it, I'll have to send it Tom's way for some modifications! :banana:

Like this:

That's DPMS type.

Today I bought a 2011 Kawasaki KLR 650, pics to follow!

Mega receivers are AR-10 patterned, but that designation is usually used with the Armalite brand specifically. You could say 308 AR in general, or MA TEN to be brand specific.

We're actually just going the other way now, when he misbehaves we threaten his warning points... <laughs>

That's not Tom exclusively, several members here checked into your history on other sites. It's common practice here to see what other forums are getting from your membership, especially when questions arise as to validity. Having proclaimed yourself a "professional gunsmiter", a misnomer to say the least in that you neither acknowledged nor appreciated the potential danger of recognizing and distinguishing the AR-10 brand. That doesn't speak well for your professional experience. Clearly you have a sense of humor, but you seem to utilize it as best suits you, taking offense at what was clarified to be an inside joke. You further demonstrated hypocrisy when you gave a long-winded speech about how enlightened the pro homosexual movement is but in the same paragraph suggested that the implication of homosexuality was an insult. I'm still waiting for an explanation on that one. When your potentially dangerous disregard for nomenclature was called out, you postured and avoided the questions that were asked of you and chose instead to restate your credentials in case anybody might have missed the resume you posted for yourself in your introduction. You made it clear that your opinion/experience was more important to you than the possible consequences for anyone acting on information derived from your supposed experience, that makes you a liability. I have personally contravened the suggestions and opinions of my peers, the resident forum members, and the senior forum members at large in order to let you explain/defend yourself. You have chosen to conduct your fighting in the full view of the forum membership, this isn't a back room decision to get rid of you by "Tom's friends", this is the forum at large letting you know that it doesn't think you belong. Private messages were the correct venue for addressing your issues all along, and there won't be any need for them now, it's just too late. The forum having reached a consensus, this problem is at the end of it's life cycle. Best of luck to you in the future, happy trails.

I bought two boxes of 12 gauge shells, and then went and shot two rounds of skeet with my dad. It was a great day!

Should be Good To Go, unless your build isn't DPMS patterned...

You've been drinking with those Rock River fans again, haven't you? <laughs> :ifly: :hethan: :bb: :happydrunks: :ecs:

Letting nomenclature errors run amuck has long been a no-no here. We don't want confused newcomers mixing and matching parts that aren't compatible and getting themselves needlessly inconvenienced, injured, or killed. Besides, Armalite is a perfectly respectable brand, and even if there wasn't a better reason, we'd still differentiate.
