This original post went silent on 19 Nov 2012. Some newb awakened it on 3 Mar 2013, as his first post, and he was last seen here on: Last Active Apr 09 2013 09:17 PM He didn’t stick around. That ran for a few more days, until 22 Mar 2013. …You just twice-awakened a dead post, 21 months later than last post. People, please read the date/time stamp on what you’re replying to. If you have a question about an old-a$s post, then ask your question in a new thread, and link the old post. In the voice of my ex-wife, and in the voice of my HAPPILY, RECENTLY DISMISSED Ex-GF… “WHY are you ALWAYS bringing up old $hit?!!?” moose-hunter, learn from this. Please. Everyone else... learn from this. Please.

I will endorse this - to an extent. I know what the PRI carbon fiber rail price is. I know what the PRI front sight cost is. I've done two builds with those parts. If you cut up the front sight, you will be working on the cheaper part. However, even if the front sight were the more expensive part, I wouldn't fuk with the carbon fiber rail. Don't fuk with the structural integrity of carbon fiber parts. Don't fuk with the structural integrity of carbon fiber parts should be the new axiom of gunsmithing. You can't undo that, no matter what.

If history serves, and I recall correctly, that was 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne). And they really did that. SF was doing horse operations long before Afghanistan, too. <thumbsup> Search out some "SF in Argentina" pics.

I'd like to see how a health official could influence the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Brother, no military vehicle has to meet any civilian vehicle safety standards at any time - even to be driven on public roads. The only thing that the military has to abide with are speed limits and traffic laws, and HAZMAT standards. Convoy placards are just a courtesy to civilians. <thumbsup> Militarily, I could drive a big truck with air brakes, as long as I got militarily licensed. I could drive that on public roads, too. As a civilian, if I drive a truck with air brakes, I have to have a CDL. That's just one example. Fuk, militarily, I had to get licensed on a fucking chainsaw. No $hit. Don't have to do THAT stupid one as a civilian... <lmao>

Shot some this weekend through a couple bolt guns and the AR - for a deviance-from-zero kinda accuracy, I didn't change any scope settings on any .308 firearms. The ZQ was still banging steel at 100 yards through all of them. It can't be far off at shorter distances, but I'd still like to try it at 300 and 400 and see how it does, compared to PMC Bronze 147gr.. Definitely passes the test as range ammo, no doubt. I'll reload the cases and see how it does that way. 3rd or 4th loading should tell me if the brass is good, in that respect.

It's old-school. WAY old-school. :banana:

AWESOME!!!!! <lmao> :hethan:

I'd full-on sprint up on you and force a pants-down hug on you... Willing or not... <lmao>

Call PRI, and email these pics to them after that. They'll come up with a solution for you. <thumbsup>

You used that one before - on this same subject... :yup:

You pick one up, brother? I had a 3-9x40 P-223 on the Mk12 build. I bought this M-223 for that, for the M features and a little more magnification. Got it zeroed today. Very, very happy with it.

Love ya, brother!!! :happydrunks:

Old news, at this point. Instead of sending mine in, I replaced the trigger with a Timney.

It's pretty wild. I got it all set up today by myself, and fired it off. We'll have no problems in a couple weeks. <thumbsup>

Damnit... I'm gonna have to eat some more recoil in a couple weeks... <lmao> I'll bring my own ammo for it this time... <laughs> I'm taking out the new device tomorrow, into the desert, to see if I can set it up myself, and get it loaded. If I can do it on my own, then we'll have no problems in a couple weeks... <thumbsup>

Battle Arms Development for the ambi safety - nothing else out there is even worth looking at. Norgon for the mag release. You can use the Troy, but it pivot on the side of the receiver. MechArmor is a 100% class operation, and then some. <thumbsup>

Depending on when he retired, and from what unit, I might know him already. I retired out of Huachuca in '07. <thumbsup>

Shot her in the a$s... <lmao> REALLY?! <laughs>

Phelps WMA has a great range, free, but it's only 100 yards. It's near Sumerduck, and worth the drive. Get there early, as it's first-come basis for a bench. If there are waiters trying to get a bench, shooters are supposed to use their bench for an hour, then pack up and give up the bench. Doesn't always happen, and if you hit the range in the middle of the week, you might be the only one there sometimes. http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/wmas/range_rules.pdf http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/wmas/detail.asp?pid=17

^^^ That, and they don't meet safety standards established by all those agencies. No side impact protection test results, no test on front end crumple zone bull$hit, yada, yada, yada. They were never tested for any of that BS, because they never had to meet those standards. You know, those standards that save us all every single day... :soap:

Your father in law is NOT allowed to bring that damn 460. NOT ALLOWED. That damn thing is EVIL.

Marana Range. Jon is RangeMaster that day. Early as we wanna make it. He's checking to see if I can park my camper down there, and if so I'll be there sometime Saturday and setup. Dirk, you'd be more than welcome in the camper if you want to. <thumbsup>

Nikon has a special right now (until December 31st) on the M-223, but only in the 3~12x42 BDC-600 scope. It's $160 off, taken off right there at point-of-sale. No receipt to send in, no time waiting for a coupon of check from the company - it's an instant rebate, right there at the register. Typically a $450 MSRP scope, that puts it in your hands under $300. It's one hell of a deal. If it's going on another caliber, you can have Nikon make a custom turret for it for your caliber, projo weight and speed. This scope is a no-brainer if you're looking for good, clear glass in a quality scope. Price can't be beat. I found one last week marked down to $258. Grabbed it. http://www.nikonsportoptics.com/en/Nikon-Products/Riflescopes/M-223-3-12x42SF-BDC-600---------.html

This is no ordinary bipod, brother... <thumbsup>
