  1. I knew it was coming...
  2. The Army is going after it. I'm gonna quote this whole article, as well as link it. Rob is gonna SHIIT A RABID MONKEY!!! https://www.military.com/kitup/2018/06/18/army-will-test-out-3-more-sub-guns-security-units.html?ESRC=army-a_180620.nl Army Will Test Out 3 More Sub-Guns For Security Units Military.com 18 Jun 2018 By Matthew Cox U.S. Army weapons officials have expanded the list of submachine gun-style weapons the service plans to test to find a low-profile weapon for security personnel. Project Manager Soldier Weapons announced recently that it planned to spend $428,480 to award sole-source contracts to 10 gun makers for "highly-concealable" subcompact weapons for an upcoming evaluation, according to a June 6 award announcement. The Army will now add three more companies to the list, bringing the total up to $472,480, according to a June 15 announcement. Here's a breakdown of the additional awards: -- Heckler and Koch Defense Inc., for its UMP9 subcompact weapon. Amount: $10,850. -- Angstadt Arms Corporation for its UDP-9 subcompact weapon. Amount: $15,950. -- Noveske Corporation for its Noveske subcompact weapon. Amount: $17,200. Currently personal security detail personnel use M4 carbines and pistols, but Army officials now say these units need an more concealable, but still lethal alternative, according to the original award announcement. Without such a weapon, PSD military personnel will be left "with a capability gap which can result in increased warfighter casualties and jeopardize the success of the U.S. mission," the announcement adds. The initial 10 awards will go to Beretta USA, Colt Manufacturing Company, CMMG Inc., CZ-USA, Sig Sauer and five other small arms makers for pistol-caliber weapons "capable of engaging threat personnel with a high volume of lethal and accurate fires at close range with minimal collateral damage," according the original announcement.

  3. ^^^ DAMN! That thing is nice lookin'!!!
  4. What? You're a TEXAN!!! I thought that was mandatory for y'all...
  5. Measure the rear tang on your upper, and see if that thing is the DPMS-High or DPMS-Low upper. There's a 0.060" difference in the two. https://troyind.com/sites/troyind.com/files/rtc-attachments/DPMS_RECEIVERS_COMPARE.pdf
  6. Very, very sweet - I tossed up some info and a short vid in the Glock BBQ thread. I like it, ALOT...
  7. That specific rear sight might be the issue here. Hate to say that, but try another rear sight setup. That's gonna be the only way to verify. You shouldn't have this much trouble with irons, and that's the only thing that I can see that might be the very reason for all this...
  8. Is that an "F marked" front sight base? The numbers agree, but check it. Don't be afraid to crank that sight up = it looks pretty flush in the pics. It can go up. You also have an elevation drum on your rear sight. Hit that thing first - very first. Can it go down anymore? FORS. "Front Opposite, Rear Same." You can also search out this Bushmaster front sight post - see if it's taller than your KNS that you've got.
  9. This is valid. In my "early days" of duning with these guys, she choked me out one year... She is no joke. I think I said something "smart," and I woke up in the bed of my own truck. The only thing I remembered before that was looking at her when I said it, and smiling when I said it... It must not have been funny...
  10. This is the information thread. Only information, for Fall Shoot Attendees. Learn it, know it, don't show up stupid. Heed the words, click all the links to info, and get here, on location, ready. There's no babysitting going on, when people show up and say, "I didn't know THAT..." Uh, yeah, you shoulda... had you read before you left your patrol base...
  11. Casa De Pain was BAD last year, man. I think these fuckers ambushed me into a full bottle of Jameson's the night prior. I swear I was ambushed...
  12. Only TWO people know that pain, brother. Matt rode with him the first time, and daughter Kate muscled through it the second time. Rumor has it that Kate is coming back - glutton for punishment! She rides with THE TERMINATOR!!!
  13. If you want slack... cut the rope, brother...
  14. Nice picture of your steak, Mr. Wizard...
  15. I think Dirk might have a full truck, with all the fliers looking for cheaper tickets in San Diego, instead of PHX. I know he's already hauling 2 extra people, that I know of, unless others have already made arrangements... Could fit one other guy in the cab, and a dude in the bed... or two int he bed, firewood dependent...
  16. He fucked THAT one up...!!!
  17. Then, you are welcome at Casa De Pain on Tuesday, then!
  18. What did I leave out, Matt? What pertinent info has been left behind, brother?... Quote your heart away...
  19. Don't EVER fucking forget this one, right here... @Matt.Cross
  20. I've been running Hornady 178gr HPBT projectiles for all my longer distance .308 Win loads for a few years now. The sectional density is .268 and the G1 drag model BC is .530. Way better than the Sierra 175gr HPBT listed above, at .505 G1 BC. This load performs. For the SS18 event, Matt and I loaded up 50 rounds of Hornady 195gr HPBT rounds in the .308 Win, and we didn't get to shoot them. That's my .300 Win Mag projectile. Found a load in the Hornady 10 Manual that listed this projectile at a 2.800" COAL, under the .308 Win loading section, so we figured "WHAT THE HELL!!!" We loaded them, but didn't shoot any of them - we were "overcome by events" out there. The sectional density on that beast is .294 and the G1 BC on that 195-grainer is .550 - it'll be a better load, at distance, then even the 178s. It will leave the barrel a little slower, but it will get to the longer target in a more efficient manner. Get the correct ammo for the event, guys, if you plan on shooting it.
  21. ^^^ CLICK THAT AND MAKE IT BIGGER, AND READ IT...
