  1. Let's see if this pops up in the MSM, or any news... https://bearingarms.com/tom-k/2018/03/29/illinois-man-uses-ar-15-save-life/ Posted at 4:00 pm on March 29, 2018 by Tom Knighton Time and time again, we’re told that there’s absolutely no reason to have an AR-15 except to take a human life. They’re “weapons of war,” they’re tools designed to kill and nothing else, some say. However, an Illinois man is alive today because of an AR-15 in the hands of a private citizen. I think part of why the AR-15 was so effective was because of the media hype. The news is filled with reports of them being instruments of war and murder, so when a man with a knife is faced with certain disintegration from a handheld, small-caliber bazooka, of course, he ran. If that was the case, the media have finally made themselves useful. More importantly, though, this was a good guy with a gun at the right place and the right time, something anti-gunners insist almost never happens. Well, it does happen, and this is a prime example. Further, this one is unlikely to be counted in any statistics, either. The stabbing itself will, but the resolution by an armed citizen may well not be. There’s nothing to report at this point, so it may well slip through the cracks. And that’s a shame. Good guys with guns end violent acts by bad people with weapons of all kinds. They end the threat and protect lives. They do it far more often than bad people with guns take lives, and that’s because guns are a lifesaving tool. Mr. Thomas did the right thing; he put his own safety on the line and protected his fellow man. Contrary to what it may look like from the outside, that’s not an easy thing to do, yet he did it without hesitation. That’s heroism right there, folks. And think, some people want to disarm Mr. Thomas because of someone else’s misuse of an AR-15.
  2. Basically, yeah. You got it.
  3. Whoa, whoa, WHOA here!!! White Oak upper in what caliber, brother? You holdin' out?!
  4. PSA has had some serious issues getting a collapsible stock system right. They've put together all kinds of parts that don't work well together - that's why I'm asking for your recoil system details. Internal depth of the receiver extension. Relaxed length of the biffer spring, coil count, and possible wire diameter. Buffer weight, and length. If it's a 3oz buffer, I'm telling you now it's too light. You need something H3-weighted, about 5.4oz at the minimum.
  5. Salty seawater... YUK!!!
  6. He popped in here the other night...
  7. ^^^ See that, guys. 30-06 API. Not .308 Win API. Oh, and M855 is NOT 5.56 AP. NOT. This is a special present for the OP - because I know they'll come back here and read it. http://www.newsweek.com/obamas-proposed-ban-green-tip-bullets-misfires-313453 If they DON'T come back here and read it, I hope their prospective buyers find them here... and read it...
  8. You missed the OP starting this thread in the Contest Section...
  9. Did I miss you taking a Blackout on your hog hunt?...
  10. Get pics of it up, when you can. Several of us have that setup, and we can work you through any issues you might encounter.
  11. I rock this one on the back window of my little truck.
  12. FUk that! Larry is bringing them! They were there last Fall!!!
  13. I laugh when some people jump into a conversation - about drinking IVs - and they tell you, (in perfect wife voice) "You can't drink Lactated Ringer's Solution!!! It'll make you SICK!!!" Yeah? Really? I can tell you that you CAN drink Lactated Ringer's Solution. Without getting sick. You save your Cherry Koolaid from your MREs, ALWAYS, just on that off-chance that you DO find yourself in that situation. Because, the cherry tastes best when mixed with that shiit... I have a long story on drinking that shiit, if anyone is interested. Without the koolaid mix. Pre-Ranger, 1990. I drank 2 x 1000ml bags after the Land Nav course, the night before a 5-mile timed run. I was the only guy to max the Land Nav course, and I gave it my all to do it. Tried to have the Doc IV me, and he couldn't hit a vein. I told him to give me two bags and leave me alone. Cut the tops off and sipped away... Fuk the naysayers and medical professionals - they don't know the real deal...
  14. I had 4 tours in that shiithole, 10 TDYs, and over 6 years in country, total. My most exciting deployment was fall of 1996. Hellish conditions for a mission, and the NKs decided to crash a spy sub into the eastern coast (for real-life shiit, a real NK infiltration attempt), close to where we were deployed. We were told to hunker down and deal with it. Let the country "subside" a little, then they'd get us out. (look that up, NK sub in 1996) Well, fuk, the first problem was we went into a long recon mission with no available water in the area, so we packed (each) 2 x 1qt canteens, 2 x 2qt canteens, and a 12-liter water blivet inside rucks. That's alotta water, and that shiit is 8lbs per gallon! Next issue was batteries. Long mission requires lots of batteries, and even Lithium batts ain't light - when there's alot of them. We packed for 10 days on the extreme. We were out there for 16 days, when we got pulled out. We were giving IVs, or drinking the IV bags with MRE coolaid mixed in, before exfil... Couldn't hit a vein on some guys... "Mix this up and drink it..." Fuk that place.
  15. BS. I have a 6.8 coming to me, and I won it! I'll sell that thing right away for a Blackout or another Grendel!
  16. Jong Un. Kim Jong Un is the one now. Kim Il Sung was first. Kim Jong Il was his son, that took over. Kim Jong Un is the current one, grandson. I worked Korea from 1986 through my retirement in 2007. When the shiit hits the fan, I can tell you the callsigns they'll be using on the radios, and what they mean.
  17. I honestly would have set those up, and shot the pizz out of them, too. Big time. \ It woulda been like this, right here...
  18. True the receiver face with a lapping tool, and install the barrel with loc-tite 609.
  19. I have a few things to add to the pistol course, and short rifle course.
  20. Why am I not shocked here. The whole system needs purged. It's not just politicians that need to go, and get fresh people in there. that are not corrupted. The agencies, too. I'm positive that there are plenty of younger agents that are ready for promotions, that have nothing to do with this massive level of shiit.
  21. Pretty cool. Do I win? What do I have to do to win it? You didn't explain the contest challenge, or the contest rules.
  22. This is awesome!!! Too aggressive and angry for you? And someone tells you good luck, and you lose it?... All I did was point out a lie in your gunbroken ad, about your fake 5.56 AP ammo... Oh, and that you don't know how to mount a rear sight...
  23. Just to let you know, OP - your listing on GB for the 5.56 AP ammo - that's just regular M855/SS109, and it's NOT AP ammo. This was ruled on by BATFE a few years ago. M855 is not AP ammo. Also, the rear sight on the Bushmaster you have listed - that's installed backwards.
  24. T-posts and chain are working great. It's all I've been using since last Fall Shoot. Got my own 16lb t-post driver now, too. The t-posts will live - if we shoot the target... I've been using the carriage bolts through the target, securing chain to target. I use parachute cord to secure the chain to the t-post, and tie it off so the target hangs even, vertically. Works great. The only time it gave us grief was when a knot loosened up, the target tilted. It was an easy fix.
