There's a CAR-10 XH that's 6.5oz and 2.500" long, available there. That would be a good option. Must run the 2.500" buffers in the 7.000" internal depth (AR15 Carbine) extensions for these things.

I didn't stutter. @JBMatt shot 1 mile last weekend, when we discovered that the 850-yard target on our off-set Long Range range - was exactly 1.00 miles from our Camp location... Saturday, November 21st, we're going out again. Doing the same thing again, that afternoon. I hope the weather is calm, but it is what it is. Locally, this will be big - but it won't be as big as the Fall Shoot turnout that we had this year, which was unreal. I have 30 MOA of rail on my gun, and I can't zero that thing shorter than 500 yards - it IS zero'd for 500 yards, now. . I need to be able to dial 16.1 for 1750 yards, and 17.1 for 1800 yards. I can dial (right now) 22.4 mils from my 500-yard zero... JB Matt is fucked... I can dial everything out to BEYOND 2000 yards with my setup, and he ran out of elevation on his Bergara last weekend, and was holding over on his scope/gun to hit that mile target... This shiit just got serious, but only because I didn't "bring a gun" that I should have brought. I'll keep you all updated, as it progresses, and I'll talk some MAD SHIIT up to the event. I didn't bring my Win Mag to the Fall Shoot. Or this wouldn't even be a story right now. Call it "cocky" - but he was the only one with a gun in that fight, last weekend. We'll see, in 2 weeks... No matter where y'all land on this, you need to know this, right here - SHIIT TALKING is the most important aspect of this game... You wanna sling lead at distance - talk MORE shiit than your opponent, and get in his head. Once I tell Matt that I can dial this full thing, beyond 2k... he's done. I don't have to "guess and get lucky" here - but he still does. I'll text him tomorrow - and we'll see how much $$$ this costs him in the next 2 weeks, before this goes down... Let's not forget to mention that my 225gr handloads are slightly MORE superior to his 220gr handloads - and I'll rub that in, too. Afterwards... Brace yourselves, men. It's about to get serious...

So, what are you building - a 5.56 gun? Good luck on Moriarti, too - that's not the best stuff out there. This is gonna get interesting...

You have to meet him. I've know him since 2014, now. I still can't determine if he's a cyborg sent back in time, to us - just to fuk with us. No human can shoot like this fucker can. Something just ain't right with him, but I can't prove it. Yet. If he ain't another T1000, then he's the Predator. It's the only thing that makes sense in my feeble rat-brain... This HAS to be his target-acquisition shiit, right here - fucker never misses...

We just did this last weekend, brother. We've been getting together since about 2011, if you count the first Greg-Tom visit. That spawned it all... It's now morphed into some shiit where we have strangers showing up in the middle of the desert, in a 5-ton with a 1919 mounted in the back... Unreal, blows my mind...

Hope everyone had a good Veteran's Day. Of all the emails I received from vendors today, one stood out. This email was from Surplus Ammo and Arms- SAA. Those Freedom Loving Folks at Surplusammo.com <newsletter@surplusammo.com> Wed 11/11/2020 3:39 PM Veterans Day, November 11th, 2020 Today, November 11th, is Veteran's Day. Not some other day when some get a day off from work in "observance," but today, the 11th, every November 11th. The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. In honor of this Veterans Day. We pause to thank and honor all veterans, all members of the military living or dead. Thank you. This day we know as Veterans Day was first "Armistice Day" as originally celebrating the first anniversary of the end of what was once known as "The Great War," now known as World War 1. This day, November 11 was later changed to a national holiday beginning in 1938, then to be renamed in 1954 in a bill signed by President Eisenhower, himself an Army general, to "Veterans Day." Veterans Day is the day we honor American service men and women, all veterans living or dead, especially giving thanks to those still with us who have served our great country honorably both during war as well as in peacetime. From History. com: 18.2 million living veterans served during at least one war as of 2018. 7 million veterans served during the Vietnam War era (1964-1975). 5.5 million veterans served during the Gulf War (representing service from Aug. 2, 1990, to present). Of the 16 million Americans who served during World War II (1941-1945), about 325,000 are still alive as of 2020. 2 million veterans served during the Korean War (1950-1953). 6 million veterans served in peacetime. 9 percent of veterans are women. As of 2014, 2.9 million veterans received compensation for service-connected disabilities. As of 2014, 3 states have more than 1 million veterans in among their population: California (1.8 million), Florida (1.6 million), Texas (1.7 million). The VA healthcare system had 54 hospitals in 1930. Since then it has expanded to include 171 medical centers, more than 350 outpatient, community and outreach clinics, 126 nursing home care units, and 35 live-in care facilities for injured or disabled veterans. As of 2017 the top three states with the highest percentage of veterans were Alaska, Maine and our now home, Montana. You know a veteran. Go thank them today, at least. We here at surplusammo. com are now in Montana, moved here in 2018. We began at a small store back in Lakewood, WA across the freeway from Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), home to both Army and Air Force veterans that we have known now for many years. Our Tacoma, WA store is still back there, a few miles down the freeway from JBLM. We have befriended more than we can remember and have hired several of these finest over the years to include several that worked for us in our warehouse back in Tacoma, before we moved here. Our store has many more veterans, both former and retired Army as well as Air Force. Our new home here in Victor, MT we currently have three veterans working for us. A simple thing, we would not be here without them, and in more ways than one.

Congrats Ron and Susan!!!

Directional ground wire is the way to go for HF. HF is simple - you're bouncing radio waves along the ground. Tx/Rx freq is the same here, and you literally have to point the wire at your recipient. You cut the wire to an exact length for your TX/Rx freq, and literally lay it down on the ground, in the direction of the Rx station. HF usually sucks for voice, but it excels at data, or Morse with a leg key. If you nail that wire antenna to perfection, you can still pull voice with it, but it usually sounds like someone is talking underwater. You have to speak very deliberately running voice over HF. For VHF and the lower areas of UHF, a field expedient 292 antenna is easy to make, and works very, very well. This is very specific to the Tx/Rx freq, too, and you cut the ground plane sections to a specific (1/4 wave) length. Super easy to make. For "insulators", we used the plastic MRE spoons. All the information to construct one is in any Ranger Handbook (SH 21-76).

He's not even human, probably a Terminator... Nah, he spent 10 years on the US Shooting Team, as a shotgunner, lived in Colorado on the facility and all that. That was his life, for 10 years. The guy can shoot anything you hand him, and would probably be MOA with a wrist-rocket at 100 yards. He gifted. Hell, we had 22.9mph winds the day before - and that Win Mag of his was the only thing that hit the 1050 target, in those crappy conditions. Bunch of us were crushing the 850, even in those winds. The .260 Rem was a full 2 1/4 mil wind hold, and that thing is only 1.2 mils in a 10mph full-value wind, for 850 yards. But it was calm and no wind on Sunday morning. Still, even if you have a 1 MOA rifle or load, that's 1" at 100 yards... That's 17.6" at 1760 yards... That target plate is 18" wide by 26" high, and it was at an oblique angle, too. He didn't do it in one shot - but he was all around the base of that target, and made an impact on it. Pure luck that it was dead-ass center of the plate. He went to the Long Range Shooter's of Utah (LRSU) long distance class in August, and hit the 1000, 1200, 1500, and 1760 targets out there. Turns out, they're not teaching anything that was new, to what we teach here. I was hoping for a bunch of new info, or maybe a few new techniques or something - brought back from it. Nope. Tells me that we're doing something right, and with detail. We're going back out there on Saturday afternoon, 21 Nov. Setting up the same thing again, and the 450 for a night shoot for one of the guys. He was having recoil system problems during Fall Shoot, but we sorted that out quick - he has all the parts on order now, and wants to run that 450 at night. We'll punch that 1760 that afternoon, whilst waiting for the darkness to fall upon us. I'll give it a go with my Win Mag. Thank you, too, for the kind words for Veteran's Day. It does mean alot, and I appreciate it.

Oh, then you got THIS GUY... @JBMatt will show up and ruin all your fun... .300 Win Mag at ONE MILE... Target was exactly 1760 yards... One mile... Show off...

Zap it, then. "Pet owners" like this need put on their OWN leash. Irresponsible fuktards.

Just wait 'til you get out here and witness it, brother - "Target is ON THE GROUND!!! NO MARKS ON THE TARGET!!!" Fuckers can shoot a 3/16" chain link at 450 yards. Can shoot a 1/4" piece of paracord at 850 yards. Can shoot the ass right out of a gnat at 600 yards... But can't hit the fucking IPSC steel plate that's 18" wide by 26" high... It WILL happen, and you WILL see it, and you will shake your head... It's pretty fucking epic...

Only for some, my brother. There are some of us that shoot the target - when we aim at the target...

Stay away from the Gibbz - there's another failure story right here on the board, if you look for it, recently. That stuff just doesn't work. We're about done here, trying to diagnose it, too. It's always the same story - never works. And we've tried all we can try - it's just not machined right.

I'm gonna have another HEFTY bill here... FML... Just tell me the Pain, Pete, and I'll get it over with... Is what it is...

Hey @Radioactive, check it out... Let's try to keep the picture of Hot Chicks in the "Hot Chicks" thread. Let's try to keep the pics of Girls With Guns in the "Girls with Guns" thread. That's why those threads are there, in the first place. Let's TRY to keep the Pic of the Day - as a Pic of the Damn Day... and not another thread where you post "Hot Chicks" and "Girls with Guns..." How about that. Think about it - it just muddies the waters, here, on the board. If you're posting chicks in every single thread, then nobody knows where to look for a real funny Pic Of The Day... It's just more chicks, chicks-n-guns, and chicks-n-bikes. From you. Post your chicks as much as you want - but keep it where there already IS a thread for it. Thanks for listening.

I was always in Korea in October, and made the HF shots to Okinawa, Japan easily. The HF shot from Florida to Ft Lewis was in May. All HF shots made using a directional ground wire, cut-to-length for the transmit frequency. Sat-com in Korea is hard as fuk, because of the terrain. 121* direction, 19* takeoff angle. The takeoff angle is what fuks you, because, hills. Everywhere. You have to pick your comms site carefully, based on that... It fuks you on every mission, even when you plan for it...

Had a couple of them "grazed" by a .50-cal last weekend. I'm just sayin'...

That's a pretty damn nice Willys Jeep, right there! ...and those thighs could crack that engine block in that Willys, too...

How in the hell did a gator get in the waters in Minnesota?...

I'll be picking up some of their MLS t-post packages in the near future. Need those for pistol stuff.

For mil, just get the Athlon Talos BTR 4-14 illum mil-dot reticle scope. This one: https://athlonoptics.com/product/rifle-scopes-talos-btr-4-14x44-aplr-ffp-ir-mil/ For MOA, I'd recommend the one from Primary Arms, 4-14 with the MOA reticle. This one: https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-4-14x44mm-ffp-riflescope-arc-2-moa-reticle If you want/need more magnification over a 14x max, I have other recommendations, neither will break the bank.

That's just examples of the fuckin' they were trying to give people after Sandy Hook. As soon as Obuttfuck was on the news that Monday morning, saying how he was gonna ban ARs, CTD jacked all their prices. They SUCK. They've been on my "Go FUK YOURSELF!" List ever since.

@billymagg, I drove the 16" Grendel out to 850 yards yesterday afternoon in a stiff wind (about 15mph) with this barrel right here: https://www.ballisticadvantage.com/16-inch-65-grendel-spr-mid-ss-premium-barrel.html It's worth waiting for, to come into stock. So is their 18" SPR-Profile Grendel barrel. Lights-Out stuff, right there.

^^^ These things actually worked pretty well! I'll take a shorter barrel over a longer barrel, all day long, within the purpose of the gun. I'd prefer if the longest barrel one could buy were an 18" barrel.
