  1. Cedric, brother!
  2. Some notes on that thing, and putting it on your .308AR... It's lighter, stronger, and cheaper than the original UBR, BUT... It has a different receiver extension that it's made for. That's really it's big deal. It's VLTOR A5-lengthed extension, which is Armalite AR-10 Carbine-lengthed extension. That extension has an internal depth of 7 5/8", versus the original UBR and it's included special extension, at 7" internal depth. Which is GOOD! BEST way to run a collapsible-stocked .308AR, in my worthless opinion. For you to run it on your .308AR, you need to do a few things with it: REMOVE the included Buffer Spacer that comes with it - you cannot - CANNOT - use that with your Big AR. Definitely use the only buffer spring that's really made for this setup - the Armalite EA1095 AR-10 Carbine buffer spring. That little dandy is available at DSG Arms, and other places. I get mine from DSG when I need them. For buffers, make damn sure you use (at least) an AR15 H3 buffer. Yes, AR15 buffer. H3-weighted at the lightest. Get one anywhere, they're all the same for the most part. Might as well toss it in the cart at DSG, when you snatch up the spring. You will love the UBR - I only have one of them, on a 5.56 gun, but I love the thing.
  3. The situation went the very best way it could have - when they saw that they just rolled up on us, unwelcomed, and fuckin' spotlighting us, they immediately began the Turn-Around Drill and got the fuk out of there, thus activating their Escape & Evasion Protocol (E&E Plan). That's the best thing that they decided all night. The WORST thing that they could have done, thankfully didn't happen. In my mind, the worst possible rapid-decisions that they could have made were to feel tough, all jacked up on liquid courage, and all get out at the same time, and try to force us "to hang out with them." Right off the bat, that one-eyed Ford truck would have had a BUNCH of leaks. Immediately. That was Step 1. I doubt it would have gone beyond that.
  4. MOE +, or would MOE K2+ work? FDE.
  5. I've been waiting to see a build from this AP set - gonna be nice!
  6. Damn, can't be minor. Explosion in a mixing facility. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/04/11/one-dead-3-injured-at-army-ammunition-plant-in-missouri.html
  7. Right when they came to a stop, I press-checked the momentary switch on the SureFire on the rail... That got their attention - at least the ones that were able to focus, anyway... I remember them asking a couple questions... and the only thing I could think of to say, at the time, was, "Can I HELP you with something?!..." What I really meant by the rhetorical question was, "I'm gonna HELP you get the fuk outta my camp..." They understood, and Alpha-Female was composing their departure rapidly...
  8. This look to be the Big Brother of the 5.56 Costa Ludus Edition, and it looks SWEET! http://www.larue.com/predatar-762-16-heavy-barrel-fde?mc_cid=fc38ebb255&mc_eid=bd9d7dbc01 By popular demand, we've made the 2nd release of last year's Limited-Edition 7.62 "Heavy-Barreled" PredatAR, in FDE. The first 125 units (match-numbered on the upper and lower) sold at high noon on New Year's Day 2016 in 4 minutes flat. For those of you who know the "Costa Edition" 5.56 Rifle, this 7.62 offering closely follows the same configuration. It beautifully combines the popular and lightweight PredatAR chassis with our 16" heavy LaRue Barrel. If you have a Costa and want a matching serial number, let us know ... we are trying to accommodate. Each Upper Receiver, Lower Receiver, and Handguard is finished in FDE. Selected black components and black GAP rail covers provide dramatic contrast. The 2nd release comprises Serial numbers 126 - 499. Please pardon my reach, but the 500th one is mine. This will go hot at high noon Central Time Wednesday April 12th . Go take a look now, kick the tires, even if you are not interested, as that will leave bandwidth for those that are to crowd in and make their buy on Wednesday. If you are wondering about LaRue accuracy, the 1st place finishers at the USASOC 2017 Military Sniper Competition won 2 weeks ago with a pair of LaRue rifles. That makes two years in a row LaRue rifles took 1st Place. For those ordering a rifle, there will be a follow-on post-sale offering of great accessories, at great prices.

    I wish the kid had that in Broken Arrow, OK a few weeks ago!...
  10. I'd put my eye out!...
  11. I've shot a 24" barrel 300 Win Mag with the APA Fat Bastard on it, and MAN does that thing work! I'd be interested in trying out the Beast brake, for sure!
  12. They'll be out there in the Fall Shoot.
  13. ^^^ Both those vids were on the 100 yard target. Both of 'em. I was shooting the Mk12 with the AAC Brakeout muzzle device, and I'm surprised it works that well at night. Kudos to AAC on that beast. Matt was on his Mega .308, and blew the steel target frame apart with the rapid-fire hits to the steel plate. The metal target frame literally jumped apart... I know Mike still has vids of the 435 yard target night shoot... Somewhere on that phone!...
  14. I had to get these vids uploaded and posted... Mike could probably upload these straight from his phone right to youtube, but he's challenged...
  15. I remember all those PS Magazines... A monthly cartoon mag of preventative maintenance info... https://www.google.com/search?q=US+Army+PS+Magazine&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj22OjQlJnTAhUKzmMKHbySCJUQ_AUIBygC&biw=1252&bih=602
  16. EXCELLENT WRITE UP, BROTHER!!! However, as you stated, Darkness was already upon us. With Darkness, comes Treachery...
  17. Yep, I sorted that batch out a few weekends before you guys came out, and loaded up 200 of them for that specific shootfest. I love the fat bastards.
  18. I've run the 178gr HPBT Match projectiles, and those things ROCK!!! Very, very similar to the 178 ELDs, with the HPBT having a BC of 0.530. I ran them in Hornady Match brass, CCI 200 primers and 41.4gr of RL-15 powder. Damn things were very accurate out to the max distance shot, and that was 660 yards. I'll stick with them for the distance ranges.
  19. Sweet!!! At the end of that at 5:58, is stated... Filmed and Directed by STU THOMSON. Stompin Stu was a legendary badass old-school BMXer in the late 70s and early 80s.
  20. Damn, I DO need a couple pairs of those pants!!!
  21. You fuk this one up and you're just done...
  22. This is nuts...

    Good cops

    ^^^ I'm with this guy...
  24. Fuk, I'd risk it. I've done WAY SCARIER SHIIT from helicopters. Try Fastroping from the back of a fuckin' MH53... The rope goes out the back at a 45* angle - with about a 2 foot gap from the back of the ramp, to where the rope is anchored. "Leap Of Faith" doesn't even begin to describe it, if you're the first man on the rope... ^^^ That's a good pic to show the relative distance from ramp end to rope anchoring gantry point. Except, that dude is already on the rope - and it's fukkin' SHORT! Fast Ropes come in lengths of 60 ft, 90 ft, and 120 ft. When that bird is 60 feet off the ground, the rotor wash is 100mph on the ground - that blows the rope right out the fukkin' back... That shiit sucks... I did it twice... The first time, I couldn't believe I was dumb enough to do it, and was the lead roper. The second time, I CONFIRMED that I was a dumbass for doing it the first time... I'd take this helicopter job in the video in a heartbeat. That shiit HAS to pay WAY BETTER than my previous helicopter work!
