Welcome to our forums and the 308 AR platform! The Mega MA TEN is a great way to get your feet wet! I congratulate you on your excellent purchasing instincts! <thumbsup> <thumbsup>

I was tired of the vampire crap before it began.... if they ever make a vampire target though, I might have to try it out. The world is chock full of things that are fun to riddle with bullet holes! :hunter: :auto: :sniper:

Nothing offensive was said, I feel like both sides made their point very well and very clearly. I just don't want the thread to take a turn for the worse. No apology is necessary, but we always appreciate the spirit of cooperation. Carry on! :)

THREAD POLICE --> C:-) C:-) C:-) The thread police are watching!

ROFL! You would either never be allowed within 100 miles of my workbench, or you would have to use it at gunpoint. >:( :cookoo:

:o ... sounds like the voice of experience!!! ;)

One word for the color you need: MARPAT <munch>

Welcome to the forums Chris! Your wallet now exists for the sole purpose of carrying your drivers license and credit cards. ;D <munch>

I'd be crapping my pants... My head is much bigger than that little 4" diamond she was center-punching!

Well, as best I can explain it, it's pretty much just as it sounds. A single stage trigger has only one phase through which it is pulled to the break. A two stage trigger usually has two phases, the first of which is usually heavier than the second, allowing the shooter to pull through the first stage and prepare for the break in the second.

When it comes to toilets, I think Quick Release technology could make you very rich, especially if you can apply it to functions of the lower intestine! Tactilax! <munch>

I'd love to be the first to invest, but my tactical cash is permanently mounted to my tactical wallet. When you can create quick-release tactical cash though, send me some and I'll invest it in some of your tactical products! ;)

We're very proud of the atmosphere that is maintained here, we all get along and we all try to keep it that way. We've had maybe two or three move along but it was pretty clear on all sides that this wasn't the right place for them. I think the longer you stay, the more you appreciate how nice the people here are. You just gotta watch out for the staff, they're the REAL weirdos... :o :o ;)

My new favorite quote... "I lift things up and put them down!!!"

I'm wondering the same as well... based on comments in other threads factory ammo works fine for him, but fired brass apparently doesn't work well. It's not clear to me whether he means fired brass from that gun's chamber, or fired brass from a different rifle. In any case, that's gotta be one very tight chamber to be so finicky. <dontknow>

It's a lot of reticle, I don't like the visual clutter, but that's not to say I don't like it as a whole. I think conceptually it's a good idea and it will probably be useful to many people. Myself, I prefer to learn to do things the traditional way and not rely on gadgets to get the job done. I'd prefer to be able to make my shot count without the benefit of the techy stuff. I enjoy dialing, and the Mil-Dot has held its own for forever and a day.

I envy you edgecrusher, with such an understanding significant other... My wife totally misinterpreted why I need an impervious keyboard for this kind of thread. :o <dontknow>

Welcome to the forums! If you're an active or now retired/discharged serviceman, please see this thread to get access to our Military/LEO section. Enjoy your stay!

In all seriousness, I respect your opinion and your right to not share my twisted sense of humor. That aside, it's just something that struck my funny bone, and I thought something that makes you laugh or illustrates your sense of humor would be appropriate to add to the thread. Post up everybody! <thumbsup> <munch>

Welcome to the forums! ;D

... seen something REALLY REALLY TERRIBLY wrong and laughed yourself sick about it? Brace yourself....

Too much information! crom.a.boo, I recommend you beat him until he watches what he's saying!!! <laughs> ;)

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit... <laughs> <lmao> You really should post the pics here though, I doubt you'd be harassed by this fine community of understanding & kind people. ;)

Welcome to the forums! We deeply appreciate anyone who puts up with edgecrusher... <munch> <thumbsup>

To address your issues in the order you listed them: #1. There is nothing wrong with a disclaimer that makes clear that a member here wants to have a reasonable conversation, not an argument. The fact that such a disclaimer is present makes it easier for the Mods to clean up such threads for the sake of all involved. #2. Ignoring the appropriate people should be a function of a healthy attitude and mindset, not something that a forum provides for you because you are unwilling. You will find that the grand majority of our membership has gotten along fantastically despite their differences for quite some time without an ignore button, and if you can't live without it, chances are you won't be happy here. Please do not confuse this simple fact with an ultimatum. #3. Rhetoric makes for a fantastic argument, facts change perspectives. You're welcome to use rhetoric if you like, but if you really want to change someone's mind, I'm betting that you'll find plain facts much more useful. #4. I'm pretty sure that anyone who would abandon you as a friend because of your political stance, was never truly your friend in any case. #5. I respect your decision to avoid political discussion amongst friends and peers, I see the wisdom therein and my personal preference is much the same. My own experience has been that most arguments come down much more to differences of perspective than differences of principle. The problem is usually one of pride ie. "My perspective is more important than yours.."
