  1. Those fuckers will Steve Irwin you in a heartbeat.

    Just getting warmed up, like great leftovers, and the sleeping bags in camp at night...
  3. I should have tagged you, so you see this faster. Quoted now, instead, for that purpose.
  4. Hit this link: https://www.primarytactical.com/product/brownells-brn-10-prototype-handguard-rifle-length/
  5. Nope. To all 3 questions. Give up the deails on the gun build. Complete Recoil System specs and complete Gas System specs. That's where the issue lies. This level of information, right here - read this: Here's why all that information makes a difference. This explains what the purpose of drafting that one up there ^^^ was. Because of this information, below, we need that information, above, in order to diagnose a gun over the internet, just from written words:
  6. More common language - from Attorney Tom Grieve again. Frame and receiver smacked back again. ALL THIS will get incorporated into the Pistol Brace ruling, when they get smacked around again... Guarantee it. Watch this one...
  7. Mike Glover, 2:52:40 in that vid above. Talking about transitioning out, and moving to .civ status. "Look, I have a degree in Homeland Security. What's that gonna translate to?" I know @beachmaster has that degree, so it makes me want to know more about it. What is it, really, and what does it do? I have an "Associate's Degree" from Pierce College in Tacoma, Washington, Associate's in Technology. That was just a few classes, combined with all my military school's worth of accreditation for credit towards it, and I think it was 5 or 6 real college classes that I had to take to get it. At that time, you're not making E6 if you didn't do something towards Civilian Education on the promotion point worksheets, so I knocked it out, maxed out the civ ed block of the worksheet. The title of the "degree" didn't mean shiit, but it got me promoted, finally.
  8. That one was the VL800. Sidedraft carb behind the air cleaner. Way easy to take care of, and reliable. The VS1400 did suck to tune, too, you're right.
  9. VL1500? Or C90T? I love those bikes. You can keep the VZ-800s from back in the day, and their fuckin' wacky carb setup. That one's a motherfucker to carb-sync and tune right.
  10. ^^^ He was NOT the Group CSM in November 2003, when I had a 12-hour notice mission briefing that I was leaving that night from McChord AFB, to Afghaniland. In the mission brief, I asked for Mk12s, 2 per team, 3 teams going on the ground. I was denied that request (the only one that I had that was denied, all other requests granted). Had he BEEN the Group CSM, I would have had those 6 x Mk12s for my 3 teams. They would have been useful. Fuk, when we were in the PI in 2002, we had a Group Change of Command - got a new Group Commander. He was the one that assigned me to rooftop oversight duty, on top of the stadium, with an M4A1 and Aimpoint. "Any vehicle or person tries to come through that perimeter fence that surrounds the stadium, while this ceremony is going on, DROP 'EM!" Roger that, Sergeant Major~! This was the early days of red dots, so my gun looked just like this:
  11. At 2:11:30 into that podcast, start listening very, very closely. Right before 2:12:00, he mentions "McCrystal's Task Force" - that was an amazing collection of hellish warriors, that unleashed all kinds of whoopass on the enemy, and made some amazing gains on the battlefields. It's worth researching and looking up the details on it. At 2:12:04, Mike Glover mentions CSM Nacy... Wooo!!! Let me tell you, that is one BADASS MAN, right there. Jody Nacy was my Group CSM at 1st SFG(A), Fort Lewis, WA, when 9/11 went down. I know I told you guys that we had this MASSIVE INFLUX of Delta Senior Leaders into our unit in the very late '90s. He was one of them, and he came in as the Group CSM. EVERYTHING about training changed, upon his arrival - as well as the other guys in other senior leadership positions in the Battalions. You'd see him in the morning, running PT by himself. He'd have a 45lb weight plate duck-taped to a bare ruck frame, on his back. Running an 8 mile loop down Transmission Line Road, right outside the compound. Seeing things like that, just purely motivated you to follow anything the man stated. You knew he could back up anything he stated, with sound information, tactics and reasoning, no matter what. That was truly a Ledendary time in that unit, for the information you both learned and took away, from such an experienced Senior Leadership staffing move, into the unit. The changes were unreal, the capabilities grew exponentially, just from the advice and changes made, and it made everyone a better warrior, in more ways than you can count on both hands, and using toes it you took your boots and socks off...
  12. ADM makes some great mounts - their flip-to-side magnifier mount is the only one I'll use, for the 3x magnifiers behind red dots. . When it all shakes out, they're only a little cheaper than a LaRue. I'm not sure how much MOA you can get built into them. I have one cantilever scope mount from them, from about the 2010 timeframe, I know for sure it didn't have any MOA built in, and I do like it. Definitely wouldn't replace it with something else.
  13. Great minds think alike. Shiit, I never linked that 745 mount - here it is: https://www.larue.com/products/larue-tactical-scope-mount-qd-lt745/
  14. I'm a big fan of the Warne Maxima steel QD rings, when I need to use rings. Worth looking into, brother.

  16. HELL YEAH!!! That would be a skeery ride in that little 300Z car!
  17. truth.
  18. This is a fucking CRAZY interview. Nuts. I've listened to about everything Mike Glover. Same thing, Jocko Willink. Seems like everyone has probably heard of Mike Glover, but Jocko... He was the SEAL Commander on the ground, of the SEAL Team 3 that was all-things Chris Kyle, during all that. SEAL Team 3's Task Unit Bruiser. Everything you saw, if you watched "American Sniper" was Jocko running it. Right then. He's as CaveMan as they come, true Patriot, and tell me looking at a picture of him, that you'd fight this guy in an alley. No Fukkin' Way. Savage. This is a badfukkinass interview of Mike Glover, by Jocko, on Jocko's podcast. These are two serious warriors from the same realm of Special Operations, but different worlds of military branches. This is cool. It's also almost 4 hours, so plan your time wisely, to watch it all/hear it all. @DNP will love this one, for the drives, if there's a podcast of it. Knowing Jocko, there is. Enjoy, men...
  19. ^^^ This is GONNA HAPPEN. Not my fault, though - not yet at least...
  20. 7.5" twist it perfect for those, brother, and your caliber. 8" twist would be great, and you're doing it a little better. Won't have a single issue with those 147s, not in the least. As far as looking at something more than 147s - very little out there. That's about the pinnacle of the 6.5mm projectile. Well, minus that crazy expensice 153 A-Tip, and some wild Bergers. 147 is the top of the "regular" pile, brother. Don't fear it, don't look for more - embrace it. It's the magic. Just keeping it real, and on topic, so you don't blame me for the
  21. Found his actual Congressional Medal of Honor Citation: https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/gordon-d-yntema Citation For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sgt. Yntema, U.S. Army, distinguished himself while assigned to Detachment A-431, Company D. As part of a larger force of civilian irregulars from Camp Cai Cai, he accompanied two platoons to a blocking position east of the village of Thong Binh, where they became heavily engaged in a small-arms firefight with the Viet Cong. Assuming control of the force when the Vietnamese commander was seriously wounded, he advanced his troops to within 50 meters of the enemy bunkers. After a fierce 30-minute firefight, the enemy forced Sgt. Yntema to withdraw his men to a trench in order to afford them protection and still perform their assigned blocking mission. Under cover of machine-gun fire, approximately one company of Viet Cong maneuvered into a position which pinned down the friendly platoons from three sides. A dwindling ammunition supply, coupled with a Viet Cong mortar barrage which inflicted heavy losses on the exposed friendly troops, caused many of the irregulars to withdraw. Seriously wounded and ordered to withdraw himself, Sgt. Yntema refused to leave his fallen comrades. Under withering small-arms and machine-gun fire, he carried the wounded Vietnamese commander and a mortally wounded American Special Forces adviser to a small gully 50 meters away in order to shield them from the enemy fire. Sgt. Yntema then continued to repulse the attacking Viet Cong attempting to overrun his position until, out of ammunition and surrounded, he was offered the opportunity to surrender. Refusing, Sgt. Yntema stood his ground, using his rifle as a club to fight the approximately 15 Viet Cong attempting his capture. His resistance was so fierce that the Viet Cong were forced to shoot in order to overcome him. Sgt. Yntema's personal bravery in the face of insurmountable odds and supreme self-sacrifice were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect the utmost credit upon himself, the 1st Special Forces, and the U.S. Army.
  22. Head a little east, first, and pick me. Uncle Tom got this one. Drop those boys here. They'll be qualified on an Appleseed Target by the time you two get back into town. They might be a little different when you get them back, but I guarantee they'll be FUNNY AF!!!

    Same here, but I wasn't ready to come out of that closet like you just leaped...
  24. Damn, I didn't see any medals conferred in that article, so I had to look his name up - he was awarded the Medal Of Honor for that. I kind of thought that's how that story would end, but it wasn't mentioned. 22 years old. Bad Motherfucker. RIP Warrior.
