This looks like their answer for the 7.62 mags, that they've got figured out for the 5.56 mags. Figured out QUITE well. I love the hell out of their 5.56 mags. I won't ditch the Pmags that I've got, for anything, and I wouldn't stop buying Pmags, but I've been stocking up on Lancers for quite awhile now. I buy more Lancers now than I do Pmags, when I find them. <thumbsup>

Phone - specifically, the Phone In Question. Check. Tannerite. Check. Ammo. Check. Guns. Enough to get this done. Check. Pictures of Drew... CHECK. <lmao>

Quoting this one right here, just because... Rob, I'll find out tomorrow about my time off - forgot to ask if they'd approved it - but Dawn Marie is good during SHOT. She's off. If I can't get you a room, this late, you're bunking with us. If that's the case, bring range muffs and a blindfold. I'm just sayin'... <hump> <laughs>

SS, you know the rule... The one who brings it up... <lmao>

Multiple. In varying sizes. I should get off my ass and list this stuff with pics. Individual, and group, med kits - this is the first line of defense when schit goes sideways. And you can never predict when schit is gonna go sideways on you. Dirk and I have talked about this more seriously, as of Thanksgiving 2012. Time was destiny, as far as that goes - we've been doing the T-Day dune trip together for 10 years straight (as of this year), and there's always an accident - but never too serious. Schit, I broke my damn hand a couple years ago, still have a lump. That was probably the most serious thing that happened in all those years. Most years, someone "gets off" a quad, we laugh, video it, and just drive on. Last year, 2012, not the latest trip this previous November. Broken leg, near sundown, in one of the sand washes. First we heard was people coming back to camp - all separated after a run - and a phonecall from my son, who was riding with him. We scrambled back down the sandwash to find them, and sure enough it was a broken Tib/Fib inside the riding boot. We had enough to get the rider stabilized, immobilize the leg (joint above and below the fractures), and get him back to camp. Once back in camp, it was "into the truck," and a ride to the hospital in Yuma. I can't honestly tell you that I've ever seen my kid so calm before, and so receptive to direction - did what he was told, exactly how he was told, and promptly. He made a difference, and without him, it was only me and Dirk. And the broken rider. That incident had Dirk and I talking about alot of things, both at the end of that trip, and through the year following. Overall, we're DAMN lucky we havent had to deal with broken necks, broken spines, all sorts of bones sticking through skin, etc., over the years - especially if you guys knew some of the crew that shows up as "Usual Suspects." DAMN lucky. We had more plans for more med gear for this last trip, and we just didn't get it done. We will positively have more gear for next year, without a doubt. Short spine board, maybe a long spine board, head immobilization devices for both, I'll build an old Ski Patrol device we used to use for immobilizing arm/leg fractures, along with a built-in traction device - in case of femur fractures. I won't go another dune season without this stuff out there with us. Sometimes out there, someone in a UTV (side-by-side) or on a quad can get to an injury a HELL of alot faster than a helicopter can. Communications are KEY, to relay the extent of the injury, load appropriate equipment, and get to the injury as fast as possible. Funny thing about the broken leg - we got there, and the casualty was already in shock. Not unexpected, especially after talking with him on the phone (communications). We kinda knew it before leaving camp. We got there, and tried to extricate him without immobilizing the leg - speed is sometimes more important. Wasn't happening. The pain was to great, and he was a tough MF'er for trying to gut it out. To tough - he almost passed out. We got him back on the ground, immobilized that broken schit, and he was worried - "Should we just go ahead and call an ambulance?!" Hell no, brother, there's no way in hell they can get in here, into this wash, without getting stuck before they get to us - and it'll take too long... "Tommy, it's getting dark, we have to do something - but, no matter what, don't put me on a helicopter..." Fuk a helicopter, brother - THAT will take too long. Even if we called for one NOW, it's too long. AND, it'll blow sand EVERYWHERE trying to come in. NO helicopter, NO way. We WILL get you out of here before the sun goes down. Don't worry about that. And we did. And we did it well. After that trip, we realize we need more med gear. You always need more med gear. You never know what will happen, you never now when it will happen. No matter what, you can never have enough med gear for every situation, and you can never have enough med training for every situation. You just have to have a continuing responsibility for more med gear and more med training.

Re-awakened. May 2014. Watch out. :banana:

He's about to dragged down to "becoming an equal," about the May timeframe. With a sneak attack, AT his fridge, at midnight. When he's least expecting it. I'll leap outta that fridge, grab that ass in a rear naked choke, Ron tosses the black hood over him, Rene duct tapes his head shut, Matt flex-cuffs his feet while Jay (in an unexpected trip, suddenly) handcuffs his wrists and smacks him in the mellon with a PR-24... And the trip finally "begins..." :bat: <laughs> <lmao> I'll waterboard the FUK outta him until he tells us ALL his secrets - in the back of that van... :banana: :banana:

Hey guys, he's had his views, and kinda changed them over time. He's not that bad about guns and gun control, not compared to some of the Raging ArseHole HollyWad Assheads... 2000: "I believe Charlton Heston is America’s best villain because he loves guns so much. Maybe he should get the award for being president of the National Rifle Association.” 2007: “I would love it if they could take all the guns away. Unfortunately, you can’t do that so you hope that good people in the world have them to protect the people who can’t protect themselves,” Mark Wahlberg bemoaned in the Herald Sun in 2007. “Certainly, I haven’t used a gun anywhere other than on a movie set and I’d like to see if we could take them all away. It would be a beautiful thing.” And into November 2013 - now this one isn't gun-related, but it shows anther change of view. He's "getting different" over time. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/11/13/how-fing-dare-you-lone-survivor-star-mark-wahlberg-rants-against-hollywood-privilege-gives-emotional-tribute-to-soldiers-sacrifice/ Basically, I'm saying, give the guy a chance. What keeps circulating the internet-world is schit that's a decade old, or older, yet still spoken as gospel these days... <dontknow> That's how it works. 'Cause I read it on the internet... And finally, here's some good news, and some good quotes... <lmao> "Love it, what I'm gettin' out you, Blue Cougar!"... <laughs> DO NOT skip the Chuck Norris video link, in this link. I'm just sayin'... http://gunssavelives.net/blog/11-pro-gun-celebrities-yes-they-do-exist/#

You know, Rob... When most of us start a topic with a title like "Rob's pistola," or "Drew's long-slide .45"... It's usually a finished product that we've somehow kept secret, and we're revealing it. REVEALING IT. <lmao> By the time we post a topic like this, it's not just a pipedream, or a wishlist. I'm just sayin'... <laughs> :banana: Wait 'til Greg sees this one... :yup: :stfu2:

Holy schit, this went sideways... <lmao>

Chicago Ban on Gun Sales Struck Down by Judge
98Z5V replied to gnatshooter's topic in Firearm Industry News and Gossip
...and, ultimately, they'll burn in hell for it, too. Or face a recall, like those fuks in Colorado. Pay attention to the wants of your consituents, you sorry bags of schit. :bat: :banned: -
I need to see if there are any job openings. I wouldn't give a schit about the pay.

You can just pick up the A1 stock shell and shorter A1-length vented buttstock screw. Remove the A2 stock shell, put the 5/8" spacer and longer A2 screw someplace - because someone else will need it here sometime... <lmao> Fulton Armory sells both pieces (new stock shell and proper screw). Rifle receiver extensions are all "A1" - same receiver extension as used in the A2. Rifle is rifle.

Sweet! This guy just entered a world of schit... http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/01/05/phony-navy-seal-faces-felony-gun-charges-related-to-military-training-program/?intcmp=latestnews Phony Navy SEAL faces felony gun charges related to military-training program A convicted felon is reportedly facing gun charges in Nevada after setting up a military-style training school and a security firm on the strength of a long-running and widely disseminated lie that he was a decorated Navy SEAL. ABC News reports A.J. Dicken, 57, parlayed such lies into nearly a million dollars in financial backing from unsuspecting investors, as well as untallied sums allegedly swindled from the people who went to his Carson City school. "He can be very charming, very engaging," Dr. Brian Romaneschi, one of Dicken’s principal investors, told ABC News after learning the truth. "He presents a face that kind of draws you in." Carol Roberts, a real Navy veteran who attended Dicken’s school, and also worked for his ill-fated firm, said: “He wouldn't tell these outrageous stories just right off the bat. He would drop little bits of things that are plausible. And he would tailor that plausibility story to each person, knowing what they knew." According to ABC News, Dicken told people for years he was not only a retired Navy SEAL and ex-CIA employee – but a two-time Medal of Honor recipient who fired the fateful bullet that killed Osama Bin Laden. He reportedly donned the SEAL insignia on his clothes, enjoyed showing off his service awards, carried bogus military discharge papers and proudly exhibited a commendation he said he once received from Col. Oliver North. The station reports his pretensions to grandiosity even included lies about having worked secret missions in Vietnam – and collaborated on the assassination of Pablo Escobar. On the strength of his self-defense school’s success, Dicken reportedly set up Global Resources and Logistics – and even won a $500 million-or-so contract with a United Nations-connected organization. But ABC News reports Dicken’s web of lies unwound quickly during the nascent firm’s first mission to Burundi. "By the second day, we realized that . . . none of the major players there in Burundi . . . knew who we were, what we were doing there," GRL employee Mike Reynolds told the news agency. "I mean, the stuff he was coming up with is just — it was insane . . . the whole situation there was dangerous." Roberts – who quit her job to work marketing for Dicken’s new venture -- suspected something was amiss when the supposedly steely Dicken grew panicked after the electricity in their Burundi hotel went off. “He freaked out, picked up his phone . . . runs into the other room talking to the CIA to have them reposition his satellite so he can make sure that the rebels aren't coming to get him," Roberts told ABC News. "He says, 'alpha, bravo, niner, niner, six, two, the fishing is good in Catalina.'" After digging, Roberts reportedly contacted retired SEAL Senior Chief Don Shipley, who not only runs a SEAL-style training camp in Virginia, but routinely unmasks SEAL imposters. "I verify, on average, at least 20 fraudulent SEAL claims every day," he told ABC News. "A.J. has a mental problem, and I go after the worst of the worst." Dicken now reportedly faces gun charges in Nevada on the strength of videos from his Carson City school like this one found on YouTube, showing him firing assault weapons. As a convicted felon, he is not permitted to own a gun. But Roberts is hoping authorities will file additional charges. "My payback is going to be my satisfaction," she told ABC News. "I would like to see Dicken . . . arrested and brought to justice. . . . He's a coward and a liar. That's all he has been, and that's all he ever will be." Here's a copy of the vid the guy had on YT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSaH0JpT9yQ

I like this guy!!! http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/01/03/detroit-police-chief-james-craig-says-more-citizens-should-be-armed/?intcmp=latestnews Detroit police chief James Craig says more citizens should be armed Detroit’s police chief has a solution to help drive down crime in one of the nation’s most dangerous cities: arm more citizens. James Craig made the comments at a police press conference Thursday, when he announced a 7 percent drop in violent crime in 2013, The Detroit News reported. Although urban police typically favor gun control, Craig said his views evolved after working in Los Angeles and Maine, where concealed weapons permits are more easily obtained. “I changed my orientation real quick,” Craig said. “Maine is one of the safest places in America. Clearly, suspects knew that good Americans were armed.” Thursday’s comments echo statements Craig has made in the past, including those he made last month, when he said responsible citizens who carry concealed pistol licenses “translates into crime reduction.” However, in the past, Craig has called for a ban on assault weapons, regulating high-capacity magazines, tighter restrictions on internet ammunition sales and more stringent background checks for firearm sales at gun shows, the Detroit News said. At Thursday’s press conference, Craig announced that Detroit’s homicide rate last year was 47.5 per 100,000 residents, down from 55 the year before, the Detroit Free Press reported. Authorities added that there were 1,161 non-fatal shootings in the city, an 8 percent drop from 2012, along with decreases in aggravated assaults, robberies, sexual assaults, carjackings, burglaries and stolen vehicles. Larcenies rose, however. Despite the drop, Detroit still recorded as many homicides as New York City – despite having a population that's less than one-tenth the size of the Big Apple, the Free Press reported.

Comparing LR-308 Lowers
98Z5V replied to MikedaddyH's topic in DPMS Panther Arms LR-308 | Bushmaster 308
I love Lance's branded lower. <thumbsup> <thumbsup> -
Some of the dates got screwed up n the conversion to the new board software, but it's been around since mid to late '09. I signed up here in Feb '10, I think?

DPMS .308 FTF ever round???
98Z5V replied to VIVALABASS21's topic in DPMS LR-308 General, Technical Discussion
In that case, above, you'd have one live round and one spent case, in the chamber. That would be from a failure to eject, because of weak gas. BCG not fully cycling rearward, not getting the spent case out, but far enough to pick up the next round from the mag. -
Schit. I knew I was gonna get called out... I can be Tom-Ass, from time to time. I love it here, and the people, far and away a better group of people couldn't be found anywhere. :happydrunks:

SWEET!!!

That's the one I've been using since abut 2009 or 2010.

That's awesome news, too, right there. If you guys track back to the Spike's Tactical .308 section, I'm betting that the new Seekins .308 will look alot like that. SP made the Spike's billet 5.56 set, and the Spike's BAR and SAR rails. <thumbsup> I'll find that booth. Pics, I don't know. Don't know the rules on "non-media" and taking pics. We'll see.

Terry, that's AWESOME!!! I love those RRA barrels, and she'll love that Leup scope. <thumbsup>

**coughcough**Arizona*cough*... I'm just sayin'... <lmao> Congrats on the 24 years, brother, BIG TIME. I stopped at 21.5, back in 2007. The schit was getting pretty stupid then, and I'd had enough. By my math, 24 years, soon, would have put you at 20 in about 2009-ish. I commend you for dealing with it, with this Commander in Chief. <thumbsup>
