  1. Oh hell yeah, brother. It's alive and well. If that link is down or gone, we can get @JBMatt in here, and one way or another, get you hooked up with the information, or the product.

    Stud those heads with ARP studs. Stock headbolts are all Torque-To-Yeild stretch bolts. TTY, those bolts can be used one time, and you stretch them to get the torque you need. They suck. ARP headstud that thing, and it's a much better engine, after that. With the engine already together, you can do them one at a time, to factory torque, replace them one at a time, all factory torque, then torque them all down to the ARP recommended torque (which is much higher). Don't even need to replace the head gaskets that way. Tell him to get those poop SHIIT factory headbolts out of there. Step one for bulletproofing that engine.
  3. This is why I don't like vehicles that can "think." Not at all.
  4. Larry, it's crazy that you're on a knee, and bent forward - and still almost as tall as the car... I'm just sayin'...

    I don't think so, brother... Did he stud the heads on that? Or stock headbolts?
  6. For right now, this only affects the Plaintiffs in this case - not everybody. However, it's gonna be tough to try to enforce something against some of the people, just not those people...
  7. Watch this interview. Long Distance is just a math problem. It takes awhile in the interview to get to that, but when you hear it - you'll know I'm correct on this. I've preached it for years. Nerd Magic. Run the math.
  8. And another good one. This week is gonna be nuts with updates. Hopefully, someone, somewhere, in a position of legal authority, makes a determination on how unjust this is, and how this agency is out of control.
  9. I love this thing...
  10. Here's another one - good legal opinion. Dettlebach torpedoed his own agency with this testimony before The House...

    @DNP usually brings a smoker. That ropes him right into the Fall Shoot. He's already coming over here pulling the smaller camper with a badass LJ Jeep. I think that's what I saw earlier....
  12. Newest news. Breaking news 1hr old right now...
  13. So, first, here's my first vision for refining this platform. Make the rail lighter. It's the only thing you can do to make the GUN lighter. A Mk12 is a 12lb pig, no matter how you slice it, once you get glass on it. No other way. But, it's WAY better than a 10lb M4A1, 14.5" barreled gun, when you hang all the shiit off that M4A1 gun. The Mk12 blows the M4A1 away, in capability for distance, and BY FAR. Going from M4A1 to Mk12 - you lose in the "Short length war" of one versus the other by 3.5" of barrel length - but you GAIN a tremendous amount of distance capability going to the Mk12, and 18" barrel. Clear a house with a Mk12? Gonna suck, but definitely doable. Practice. Shoot a bad fuqr with the M4A1 at 850 yards? Yeah, not happening, not even with God on your side that day, and loaded Mk262 ammo. Mk12 wins. That's exactly why the two different platforms exist - different missions. Different capabilities. So, let's just lighten this Mk12 up a little bit, do what we can, improve the platform however we can. Mk12 Mod 1. KAC freefloat handguard, a quadrail. Modern extended scope mounts were out by then, reliable, and you could mount the scope with the proper eye relief without "bridging the gap" past the upper receiver end. Great. Other options are better than the KAC Rail, though. The LaRue rail has a WAY BETTER lockup and mounting system than the KAC rail ever had. If I was building a Mk12 Mod 1, I'd take the LaRue rail all day, every day, over that KAC rail that the .gov went with, just because it's a WAY more solid lockup and mounting than the KAC. Ironically, the original PRI mounting system, is very similar to the LaRue mounting system - but LaRue took it a step further. LaRue made it even better, and PRI should try to copyright-infringe that shiit, and make their own rails better. JMHO. Risk it, PRI, the shiit is great lockup... Now, what do you do to make a Mk12 better? You can't change the barrel contour - it's the best precision 5.56 barrel contour out there, and proven for decades now. So, changing barrel profile is out. Changind alot of shiit with the gun is out. We already went t a quad rail, and extended scope mounts (when they came out and were legit)... So WTF do we do? Only thing left is to change the handguard, to something better. IMHO, the original LaRue quadrail has a better lockup then the spec'd KAC rail, on the Mk12 Mod 1, so I built all my Mod 1's with the LaRue rails. Just a better rail. Well, LaRue has IMPROVED that rail. They made a version that's M-LOK, and not a quadrail, it's lighter, less money, and just the same mounting system, which is rock solid... (I'm not seeing this hanguard on LaRue's website right now, to link it in here, but it's the LaRue LAT handguard...) The way to make the Mk12 lighter is to drop the quad rail handguard. Ditch it. Put the M-Lok on it, and that's the only way. THAT is the path forward towards a real "Mk12 Mod 2" gun. It's THE ONLY THING that you can do to try to lighten up the entire gun. Nothing else in the platofrm can be compromised - and that's the last remaining component that you can fuk with, to make it lighter. This is what it would look like: Mk12 Mod 1 - but with a LaRue LAT rail - a rail that's not quad, but M-LOK on 3 sides... If you added a Stern Defense RAB-AD to it, you could still stuff an entire Mk12 inside a tennis racket case... That whole gun is INSIDE this case right now... I'm just sayin'... Not my rifle, but I was here to recommend on it, advise on it, and build it. It'll get shot soon, and prove my theory right - and I'll report when that happens. I'm at the mercy of the owner on when that happens, but it won't be long from now.
  14. ^^^ If you guys didn't catch it in that, there's a new criteria... Tell me what you found, heard, whatever. I'll explain it.
  15. Pistol Brace D-Day is coming, in a week... Here's a run down.
  16. Checking this out, stumbled on it. I love the visibility. Well done @Robocop1051...
  17. That is one well designed machine, brother.
  18. Well, it's fuckin' legal NOW, brother! That dumfuk testified to that in front of Congress!
  19. I love it...
  20. BRILLIANT article on this complete shiit-show that is BATFE-in-front-of-Congress... Amazing... https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2023/05/04/did-dettelbach-just-give-pistol-brace-owners-an-out-on-registration-n70174
  21. Roy Benavidez speech. That's what I'm watching. Wake up, America. You have to click the link, because YouTube is a bitch about this video for some reason, and won't allow me to embed it. Because they suck ass on this one, for some reason. Whatever their reason is... Here's to them, on this, for blocking an American Hero. Suck this one, YouTube... This link is worth clicking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvlAHUur5eg
  22. That's the baddest LJ on the damn planet. Bar none. It's been years since I've seen it, and drooled on it - he CAUGHT ME when I tried to lick it... It's so much more now. Holy Shiit...
  23. Because YOU'RE TOO PRETTY... the neighbors complain...
  24. Sweet Dear Little Baby Jesus... I love this LJ...
