Joining the ARMY?

I work for a state agency building web applications for public services. I am married and we have a toddler. Wife is a stay at home mom and my job pays well.

America has given me everything and I’ve always wanted and still want to join the Army and serve. It sounds selfish but I want to keep my current job to support my family but serve at the same time. I am 29 years old and would like to get some input from the Hide, before I talk to a recruiter. What can or should I do to stay with my family and continue my full time job and serve at the same time?

Not sure if this will help anything if I join the Army, but I have a master’s in computer science, bachelor’s in electronics and communication engineering. 7.5 years of experience in information technology.

Thanks

r/longrange just keeps getting worse and I can't look away

This is the latest random power trip from the almighty mods at r/longrange. The cognitive dissonance is astounding. Apparently a lightweight hybrid rifle is only acceptable if you're pretending to hunt at an NRLH comp., otherwise you're a complete idiot for even considering it. Then there's the relentless parroting and hivemind that the anonymity of the internet offers. And the constant cucking for the mods as if they're God's gift to the shooting sports. Who even are the mods and why should anyone listen to them. Don't get me started on the insecure douche that is lockybalboaprime. They should really change the name to r/PRScirclejerk. Am I the only one that just can't stand that group anymore?

ZCO527 or 840 for PRS

I have a 6 dasher PRS style build I’m looking to get a scope for. Looking at the ZCO527 and 840. For those that have handled both is there a preference between the 2? Which is “better” overall in your typical shooting magnifications (15x-20x) the lower end doesn’t really matter and the higher end of the 840 is only beneficial on paper or ELR spotting which is cool. Price weight and length are not a factor. Looking at the PRS blog the 527 was more popular but the shooters in the top 10 were all running the 840, I am nowhere near the top shooters but seeing what they run is pretty cool.

Another caravan is heading to the border.

While Pres. Trump announced the border to be officially closed, another illegal alien caravan is enroute through Mexico with trash from all other countries. They are saying the United Nations says they have a right to enter, that the U.N supercedes U.S. mandate. This could get interesting.

Heads up, make sure to have a spare gas key, screws, and sealant on hand if getting short stroking etc.

and preferably also a carrier key staking tool and complete BCG. I posted this story in one of the 5.56 reloading threads but it bears repeating here.

Recommended sealant is permatex aviation form A gasket #3:

I have a 5.56 gas rifle and it has a 14.5 inch super duty mid-length upper which shot fine for several thousand rounds with h2 buffer + super 42 spring and never had a problem with any type of 5.56 factory loaded ammo from 55 grain plinking to Black Hills 77gr OTM's nor any issues with my hand loads which were mostly 77gr SMK's with TAC. Then the last two sessions I was at the range I was getting stove piping and short cycling and no lock backs with familiar factory ammo and hand loads. I checked the gas rings on the bolt and they tested fine. When I switched to carbine buffer weight and weaker spring I was able to fix the short stroking and it was able to lock back....but something still didn’t sit right with me, it was odd randomly having low gas signs with the same buffer/spring I always used (I thought it was due to less pressure from cleaning carbon rings out more thoroughly before those last two sessions) but luckily @.505gibbs reminded me to check the gas key screws and that was the root cause of the problem.

Somehow on this geissele BCG with only a few thousand round on it the gas key screw closest to the gas port sheared off.

To their credit they responded to my warranty claim in less than 24hrs and are shipping me a new carrier/key and included shipping label for me to send the old one back.

In the future I will have spare gas key, screws, and sealant on hand. Torque them down with some oil to 50 in-lbs with some sealant and a smoothed face and it will work in a pinch without staking. I will also test up to 30 in-lbs the screws any time I take the carrier out just to see if any are egregiously loose.

Hopefully this PSA helps folks avoid the same headache I was trying to trouble shoot.

For some good tips on installing a new gas key, etc. see this SOTAR video:

Where is everyone buying their precision calipers?

Hey all,

As title states, where are you buying calipers? I can go to Amazon and buy something & get it delivered the next day. However, with precision instruments, I would think buying straight from the manufacturer is best in order to avoid fakes.

I went to mitutoyo website and it seems like you can't buy straight from them. Is there a place you guys recommend I buy some of these?
