Yep, $100k bonus if you were 18-series enlisted with 18 years, signing for abother 4 or 6 something... <thumbsup>

Hell yeah, it's badass - I made it. The damn thing is PINK. Nothing says "BADASS" more than a PINK gun, brother! <thumbsup> You get to model that thing before the movie ever comes out, too!!! <thumbsup> <laughs> <lmao> WITH slippers!!! <munch>

I had a few fuckers that hated me when I left, but alot more that didn't want me to go. My going awaay gift was a Kimber .45, BP TEN II, engraved with my poop on it. When I left, I had 17.5 years in. The two Warrant Officers that I worked with told me that was my retirement present, even though I wasn't retiring. The knew my next assignment... and they just knew. Those two fuckers were right, because when I retired at 21.5 years, no one gave a poop, where I was when I retired... Those guys were right on the money. <thumbsup> Never doubt the perceptive abilities of a Warrant Officer - even if you think you know more than them. They know what's up, and will prove you wrong every time... <thumbsup> <dontknow> Fuckers are smart. ;D

It's too late, brother. I'm just sayin'... <dontknow> Nothing can save you now... :-[

You're gonna LOVE IT!!! I got out today and shot mine. Wanted to get that done Sunday, but just didn't have the time. Today was the day. For a .30 cal rifle that design-wise going back to WWII, I wasn't prepared for how great this rifle was. Th previous owner claimed he sighted it in, but I don't know at what range - I shot it at 50 yards first, and it was low and right. Went 4 left and 4 up on the scope, and I was half-way there. Posted a target at 100, shot low right again. Went left 5 and up 5 and came up with this one - shooting Federal 150gr softpoint hunting loads, cheapest I could find. Should have done the 180gr shoftpoint hunting loads, which were available then, but I just wanted to shoot it cheap. Here's the target, 100 yards, 5 shots, Fed 150gr soft-points: Thoroughly, completely, undoubtedly impressed with this rifle. <thumbsup>

I suffer from PTSD - but in a way that most others don't. The source of mine of from combat effectiveness. Mine comes from training, training, training, and more training... for war. I always strove to train my people as hard as I possibly could, accept no excuses, accept no failures, and push my people until they break. That's not by accident. I made my people 10-feet tall, two coats of hair, three rows of teeth, and bullet-proof. I made mean motherfuckers. I turned pussies into Giants. My poop comes from the people that you never should have been sent in the first place, that can never, ever do the job that you'll ask of them, that had no business being in the profession that you have chosen - and Big Army sent them to you anyway. You have to deal with these shitbags, these liabilities in all stress-assignments, and they just need to leave - and you're stuck with them. I hadone new guy that was sent to me about 4 months before a no-notice deployment. Worked and worked and worked with him, and finally told higher-ups that he needed to go. On a Friday. Got dropped for a deployment at 1430 that day, with guys on the shooting range, and we were leaving that night at 2330. Not TWO days later, climbing up a fucking hill in AFG, this shitbag says "I wish I never would have taken this assignment..." TOO LATE, MOTHERFUCKER!!! YOU'RE HERE NOW!!! I kept him safe through those 10 days, and got his ass on a helicopter back to Baghram, and back to the States. Adios, motherfucker, have your locker cleared by the time I get back or I'll choke your ass right out. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Go find something soft for you. People like that, that jeopardized the people that wanted to work and be there, and give everything for each other - the shitbags are the source of my problems. I think about those shitbags every single night, and the possible harm they harbored to everyone else. Fucking hindrance to the mission, and needed to go. I couldn't get them to "go" fast enough. <dontknow>

Ronnie Barrett is truly a real fucking patriot. Those that don't realize that should look into him more deeply. He has always had the defense of this nation as his foremost goal, and he has always made steps in that direction. The defense of freedom of the United States of America has always been his goal.

Still think you need to post your info, Drew, but I looked at latest changes for WA - it's not enough to help me move back. Latest changes I found was from July of 2011 (I admit I don't keep up, there) - now, not only could you own a suppressor in WA, but as of July, 2011, You can also shoot a supprressor there... In a nutshell, that state is so completely ignorant about the very military that's housed within it's own borders, and so completely ignorant, and repugnant, of it's own laws, that I deem it "too stupid to survive" as a state. It will fall on it's own sword, one day, because of the idiots there. If you've ever driven I-5 from Portland, OR (which is Vancouver, WA), to Seattle... then you know what I'm talking about. Based on driving alone, the wet-side of that state needs to disappear, and start from scatch, out of the rubble. From nothing. <dontknow> <thumbsup>

You have pics to post in the the "Lets see some targets" thread, then! <thumbsup> http://308ar.com/forum/general-discussion/lets-see-some-targets-range-pictures/

jebsimons, this is a good thing for you - if Greg and I keep this up, you might be a KAC dealer in no time at all... <thumbsup> <lmao>

Huh?! :o Completely fair, here. I'll spend your paycheck anyway you want to do it. You just have to tell me how we're doing it... <dontknow> <lmao> <laughs>

Link to news story, please.

Post it, brother - before, the two big things were "NO SBRs" and "You can legally OWN a can here, but you CAN NEVER shoot it HERE." Tell me that has changed... <dontknow>

You pony up, and I'll do the exact same thing... <thumbsup> <laughs> Tell me what "we" are ordering, and do it... <lmao> Send me a PM on what it cost me. :o

Did NOT get to shoot the rifle this Sunday - thought I'd get to, but just too busy. Taught another Appleseed Shoot, and we usually shoot an "Instructor Shoot" at the end, but it ran long, and clean-up took awhile. It was with me, though, and I've been cleaning the drool off it ever since. Here's the real deal on the rifle I picked up - it's not a war-torn original Springfield... no way in hell could I have (both) afforded that, (and) the seller could have sold that. :o It's the Gibb's Rifle Company reproduction rifle. Exact in almost every way, minus the collector costs nowadays. Check the vid:

I'll get in on one of everything that edgecrusher is getting - I can't let him get ahead of me this easily... <thumbsup> <lmao> <laughs>

That ^^^ is a decently complicated process, too. If you're a person that moves alot, getting into NFA firearms can be a difficult process, in the long run, for you. Of all places I love, I lived in WA State for 12 years. I would love to live there again one day, but with their NFA laws, I won't. Decisions, for the long run, come with the acquisition of NFA firearms.

You'll have to mod that handguard slightly, in order to get it to fit the .308 AR. I'll dig for some pics of what needs to be done - it's very minor. Basically, you're cutting the internal heatshield, and bending it out of the way, so it'll clear the barrel nut. <thumbsup>

A guy gets ahold of me and says he has to get rid of this M1903-A4 sniper rifle. He needed the money, and wasn't shooting it hardly at all. I felt bad for him, and I honestly couldn't help myself, with what he was asking for it. Got this with a decent scope and rings on it, already zeroed, action bedded, match barrel - and it was ridiculously cheap. He threw in all the .30-06 brass he had, a set of Lee dies for it, the reproduction manual, the leather sling, and the reproduction scope and mount. Stupid cheap. It might get shot this Sunday, I'll have to see... <thumbsup>

For what?...

Ya gotta watch that one - you'll get bitch slapped if the higher-ups catch you. I look for decent questions over there, from smart people, and send them a message. Public mention, outright, will get ya. Forum rules there, based on "non-site sponsors..." <dontknow>

You must have CLEO sign-off on your ATF forms, but the coolest thing about Tennessee is that there is a State Law that requires CLEOs to sign off, provided you're a legal person: 39-17-1361. Execution of documents by sheriff or chief of police. — The sheriff or chief of police of the city of residence of a person purchasing any firearm, defined by the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. § 5845 et seq., shall execute within fifteen (15) business days of any request all documents required to be submitted by the purchaser if the purchaser is not prohibited from possessing firearms pursuant to § 39-17-1316. That's badass. <thumbsup>

That's some damn nice work there, wash. <thumbsup> Great choice, man.

CavScout, I'm sorry, brother. I feel for you, man.

It should - the gas key almost contacts the front inside part of the upper receiver when the bolt locks.
