Right on! My wife was starting to interrupt anyways whenever I'd try to blame Tom, she'd say "... and DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BLAMING POOR TOM FOR THIS!!!" and I'd lose out right off the bat.

Wise decision on his part, he's got his whole life ahead of him, and it won't hurt to leverage time in his own favor. Smart kid, I feel proud of him myself!

Stick around a bit Goofball, Tom is a sheepdog's sheepdog and he's just stepping in front of his friends to keep them from taking flak. Nothing but good intentions and bad results all the way around brother, don't take it personally. You're right on about the environment here and the camaraderie, but you'll need thick skin here too, because we don't sugar coat amongst friends. I for one would be mighty disappointed to see you go... Stick around and have some fun, the stinging disappears after Tom buys you a few beers.... :ifly: :hethan:

That's above your security clearance.... ^-^

That's nothing. Tom hasn't even mentioned the bandoliers yet, or the spares he keeps in the ol' banana hammock... :ugone2far:

I was tempted but it ain't much fun when only the mods and admins and you will see it.... too much of an inside joke.. <dontknow>

Is that what this thread was all about? <laughs> Congratulations brother, glad you're enjoying your mods to the rifle. <thumbsup>

Just make sure you make clear which short bus coming to get me is you guys, I'd hate to miss out on all the fun just because I got on the usual short bus...

I hear ya!

Is that a good problem or a bad problem?

Wait.... You think he was joking? :eek: <laughs> <lmao> Of course he was... I'm just yanking your chain. <munch>

Thanks! Who was the other lucky dude?

I'll take one, PM me and we'll work out payment.

Fixed it for you bro. <thumbsup>

Absolutely not. The voices have commanded it, and it shall come to pass that you will buy the 338 next... You're not getting away with this after putting the rest of us in soup kitchens!

The graveyard that they found him in is about 5 minutes from my house. Sad news, RIP Mr. Trickle.

Here's the generic numbers, because I don't have Ops Inc actual numbers at hand right now: .308 in 24" barrel = 156.2dB (per this reference) 85 db is considered hearing safe. So by the math, 156.2 - 85 = 71.2 db reduction @ minimum.

Guys, be on the lookout, I was talking to my machinist buddy this evening, and we whipped up an incredible adjustable gas block idea. I gotta sit down and get it all drawn out and spec'd up..

I'm not that discriminative, suppressed is fun whether super/subsonic for me.

That's the next project, finding subsonic rounds that will actually cycle the action..... Lots of R & D to be done on that front!

Kimber. My next 22 rifle will be a Kimber. They are just a sweet SWEET rifle.

Working hard on that bro, but I imagine it will sound almost exactly like

Isn't this an amazing country? You have to be mentally competent to stand trial, but not to run the country.

Hindsight is 20/20... It's also the only thing you benefit from when you live with your head firmly lodged in your rectum.... Sucks for them.

Everything just became crystal clear.... Everyone in government is trying to avoid BRAIN CANCER! Just kidding. Not really. Seriously though, I hear she had them reconstructed.
