I remember you saying that, and it shocked me - they cut that damn channel TOO narrow. That's completely ridiculous, how many things that set had out-of-whack on it. Straight bullshiit...

Damn! Good job on that!

What spec, brother? They're so full of it, it's not even funny. I'd like to see them build up something with it.

Between the fire-starting and the blowout kits - you're creating a bunch of Baby Rangers, brother!

I'm pretty certain they only make one flavor of their LAR-8 BCG, and only one. You could send yours out to WMD Guns and see if they could coat it. https://www.wmdguns.com/firearm-coatings/production-coating-services.html

The exact same calibers that require a long action through a bolt action rifle. That directly where the long action / short action classification comes from, for ammunition.

Did you post that here, brother, or was that on Full30?

So smooth, fluid, and ungodly fast - with anything he shoots. We set up timed courses of fire at the shoots. Example, we got rolling last year on a pistol course from about 15 yards - the depth of a couple targets was a little different, and the sizes of the targets were all over. Start at Dueling tree with 6 targets (singles each), staggered, move to 1 IPSC target (doubles), move to 5 hanging plates (doubles), couple different sizes. 18 rounds if you hit everything first-round. You could only move on once you got your hits. We were getting good at it, getting times around 21 or 22 seconds. JB Matt comes out first run and shoots the course in 17 seconds... Your jaw just drops when you see him do it, then you start cussing... Your brain is trying to process "WTF just happened?!" while you're cognizantly thinking "How the HELL am I gonna beat THAT?!" It's times like that, when watching him shoot is both amazing, AND aggravating...

That was one hell of a surprise, and one epic, quick trip, brother. I'm glad you came over - damn great seeing you again. There was no way in hell I was letting you pay for dinner - you spent enough today already... I can't wait to see the pics in the morning...

That's the most common chambering for it, yes. You can find or make these things in just about any caliber that will fit a short-action bolt gun.

DPMS High Rider upper on an Aero Precision lower. Factory upper with MOE handguards. That's as far from AR-10 as you can get, right there. Don't worry about .308 Win vs. 7.62x51 NATO through that barrel. Just find what it likes, and stick with it.

The beauty of dropping the money on a timer is that it gives you instant feedback, right there, shot to shot, with splits. I always set a delay, so you never know when it's going to signal. Push the button, and wait for the beep before you go. I think the other timer out there was by Competition Electronics. Not sure. It was a nice one, that's for sure. Timers make a tremendous difference in training.

There are a bunch of us here that are pretty quick, man, be it with rifle or pistol or shotgun - or on borrowed guns. You should see Larry shoot a pistol course. Or JB Matt shoot - anything he gets his hands on. Watching him shoot anything is both amazing and aggravating, at the same time. I just run a PACT Club Timer II for my stuff. Someone brought a new kind of timer out at the last Fall Shoot, and it was pretty sweet.

Greg sent me this a little while ago... Merry Christmas! A little early I know, but I have so many happy beautiful friends, I thought I'd get the ugly fuckers out of the way first. After careful consideration of your performance in 2018, I have decided to extend our friendship another 12 months. A little Christmas message for you. Not every flower can say love, but a rose can. Not every plant survives a thirst, but a cactus can. Not every retard can read, but look at you go, little buddy! Today you should take a moment and send an encouraging message to a fucked up friend, just as I have done. I don't care if you lick windows, or fuk farm animals. You hang in there cupcake, because you're fucking special to me, and you're my friend. Look at you smiling at your phone, you crayon eating motherfucker! Merry Christmas. Don't fuk it up. All the best in 2019. Lmao

My sentiments exactly, you bunch of savages and heathens.

Gotta say, in a bad way - you guys needs to get away from that shiit. Nobody is gonna twist a rod and tie it down on themselves, to stop an arterial bleed -you're already gonna be shocking out from blood loss - hypovolemic shock or psychosomatic shock. That's too many movements, and too much complicated shiit to go through, with sticks, and tying shiit down. I've said it before, and I'm saying it again, you need "simple" in application, when you're in a situation to really need a tourniquet. Don't complicate shiit with complicated shiit. For REAL, when you're dealing with blood loss, and stopping it. Go simple. You gotta face real life, here, men. Tourniquets are cool, if you have to put them on someone. You have all the calm and patience in the world, being that "first responder." Use their own blood and mark a "T" on their forehead, with the time that you applied it to them... Great First Responder stuff, right there. You can only rely on gross motor skills if you need to put that thing on yourself - or you die... You don't have two hands to apply a torniquet to yourself, unless it's a leg wound. You need to be able to apply a tourniquet with only one operational hand, and no more.

And LaRue has the MBT2S for $87 for a few more days, by Christmas. I've converted to the LaRue triggers, with the exception of the occasional Geissele Hi-Speed National Match trigger here and there. Gotta be a special build for those ones, though. LaRue for everything else - and they're all special.

Dead on the money, right there.

Sooooo... What recoil system are you running, then?...

Yep, the garlic, brother - that's what it is.

Toolcraft is never, ever a bad choice. Since the demise of the commercially-available DWilson BCGs a few years ago, the Toolcraft is about the only thing I go with now.

I offer that buy-back not very often - it's usually for the guys that are on the fence. Hey, I recommended it, and you don't like it - AND I had to talk you into it? You think it sucks, and I'll give you your money back - when you send it to me. That's just my word, man. I know what works - but if it didn't work for you, and I told you it would... I stand behing what I said, and I don't want you to be out anywhere, on anything. I think I'm just stubborn... That's the benefit of the Tubbs Flatwire - DPMS AND Armalite recoil systems... The Armalite EA1095 spring works for rifle and carbine 308ARs, but you will coil bind it if you use it in that screwed up 7.000" receiver extension with that shortass 2.500" buffer - that is ALWAYS too light... Don't care what the coil-bind specs say, I've done it. Bound one up, in that dumbass 7.000" experiment with the 2.500" shorty buffer. If I ran a rifle receiver extension on a .308AR, I'd run the EA1095 spring. My $0.02. Damn, I forgot - I have one .308AR with the rifle stock, and it DOES have the EA1095 spring in it... Set me back 8 bucks for it, too.

303 Stainless. Don't fall for anything less. Seeing lots of 304 stainless gas tubes being offered now - don't believe the hype on that shiit. 303 doesn't work-harden with heat - that's the very reason that 303 is the spec for a gas tube. More sulphur in it than 304. But whatever. Buy whatever you want, from whatever vendor you want. No matter what the quality. Or price. It's just a gas tube, right?... Off this gas tube soap box now...

That's just great. And I've got this .358 Yeti stuff up my ass right now, too... Oh, and 500 Blackout. Did I just say that? I'm pretty positive I did. 500 Blackout. Fuk me.

Damnit - I didn't need to hear that...
