Gary Sinise

I never really cared for him as an actor, or perhaps more accurately, the characters he played, but its good to know there are a few Hollywoods who share our views. And he gives a lot in the right places.

Feedback SCAMMER @Leemax745

Posted a WTB for a kestrel and @Leemax745 hit me up almost instantly. Grammar seemed a bit off in our original convo but I shrugged it off. Asked for proof a life and he sent me some terrible photoshopped pics with an “unamerican” date format lol. Looked into him and he just made his account on 01/21/23 and has been viewing WTB postings. Keep your heads on a swivel gents.

Why are quadrails making a comeback?

I got into AR's near the tail end of the quadrail era. I never liked holding them but that's just the way it was if you wanted to be cool and more modern than the plastic mil spec handguards. The first time I saw a slim smooth HG I knew it was the future. Once I held one I became thoroughly disgusted with quadrails.
Here we are in 2023 and I'm seeing them everywhere, like a bunch of kids just discovered them and think they're the new hotness.
I dug one out of my junk parts pile. Still horrible to grip. Still snaggy. Still heavy.
In the age of Mlok and Arca what do quads offer? If I want an HG that isn't great to hold I'll get another Seekins SP3R so it at least rests on surfaces nicely. Or throw an Arca rail on something and gain flatness and function.
Besides maybe the nostalgic feeling that makes people retrogress, what am I missing?

Movie Theater Sony 65” OLED vs Lg 75” QNED?

Hey Gang,

Family of 4 and we are in the market for a second tv. This new one will be used as the main tv upstairs and the current one will go downstairs for the kiddos.

We aren’t gamers, and we don’t spend a ton of time watching tv. Mostly stream shows and movies, and some sports.
Budget is in the $1500 range. The two we’re looking at are the LG 75” QNED85 mini-LED or the Sony A80Ck OLED which is a 65” screen.

We were leaning OLED since the 65” should be a good size without taking up the entire space between two windows, but I worry about the ambient light issues. Plus I mean 75” would be kind of cool.

Below is a picture of the upstairs living room and the couch is 12’ from where the tv would sit. A 75” would fit between the two windows, but not with much wiggle room (roughly 2” on either side).

So for our casual use what would you experts choose between these two, or another good option in the $1500 range? I’ve been going back and forth and can’t make up my mind. I’m leaning towards the LG QLED 75” more for the brighter screen. The one negative about OLED’s that I read about was that they just can’t get as bright as the QNED and that’s a bit of an issue in a room with a lot of ambient light. We have a lot of windows in the living room. We do have blinds we can close, but we rarely use them just because we love our view.

So enough rambling. TV’s are not my area of expertise and after reading all the reviews and pros and cons I’m left undecided. Figured some of you on here might help me make the call.

Thanks!

Masterpiece Arms vs American Rifle Company

I suspect the answer will be close to: “Either one, both are good, pick the one you like”. But I’m checking to see if there’s an opinion on one vs the other.

I’ve been researching for a 6.5CM long range build and thought I had pretty much decided on the MPA BA Pro2. But lately I have been eyeballing the American Rifle Company offering. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience regarding the two?
  • Real vs claimed accuracy
  • Warranty support
  • Reliability
  • Physical differences; scope height, length of pull, etc
  • stuff I haven’t thought of
I appreciate any input from the collective wisdom and experience of the forum. There’s lots of info on each gun separately, but not much in the way of compare/contrast.

PS, I noticed today that MPA’s description indicated that the BA Pro was built to meet the 2023 price limit of $3k. Price hasn’t gone up yet, but I’m sure it will.

<edit 2/19/2023> TLDR…. The CDG was the honey that sweetened the pot. It pushed me over the edge and I went with ARC.

SOLD Both gone.- Tangent Thetas, 5-25 Gen2 XR- price drop

Price drop, and all set on trades. Now just for sale.


Letting go of the last of my TTs. Fantastic glass, but honestly more than I need. Both are in excellent condition, with 1 or 2 very minor imperfections, pictured.

Deal pending on this one.


This one has a very small ding on the elevation & windage turrets. Nothing else that I've seen.
Look worse in the pics than in person. I almost missed them.





And the other one:
TaGNDve.jpg

vYwhhKV.jpg


This one has a small scratch on the objective bell at about 1500.

Edit: I took this one off the rifle today, and that scratch really does look worse in the pic.

4S4eXCb.jpg

And if the rings end up selling with it, there's a small ding on one of them.

Azb5Bqr.jpg

And 1 of the manuals is MIA. It will be included of course, if I find it before shipping. ARDs are included for both, along with the MKM throw levers.
GvsjbRj.jpg


Priced to sell at $3750 $3650 shipped CONUS. Add $75 if you want Seekins rings. Don't really want to sell the 20 MOA LT745, but I could be talked out of it for $225. I have an LT104 I could include for $175.

For more pics, proof of life, a pic with your grandmothers maiden name 😅, to discuss by phone or text, send me an IM.

Trade interests: ZCO 5-27, possibly a 420, with MPCT1, 2, 3, or 3X. NF ATACRs, 5-25 or 7-35, maybe an NX8 or NXS depending. Minox ZP5 5-25 with THLR or MR4. Trijicon Tenmile 4.5-30 FFP MRAD. Maybe a Steiner T6Xi 5-30, Zeiss LRP S5 MRAD, or Leica PRS with PRB, maybe a Magnus. Hendsolt, what have you got? Swarovski Z6 or Z8 maybe, depending. S&B PMII 5-25 or 3-12x50 Klassik, 3-12x54 Polar, 2.5-10x56 or 3-12x50 Zenith maybe. Can't think of anything else, but maybe. Plan on these being + $$ on your end, Hendsolt might be an exception. A package deal with multiples of these is possible, too. I don't need any binos or spotters, unless it's a deal ridiculously in my favor. Astigmatisms in both eye, so no RDS.

ETA: I'm all set on thermals and NV.

ETA 2: At this point, I'm more in need of a decent MPVO than another HPVO. SFP, 2.5 or 3 on the low end, 4 tops, 30 or 34mm tube, prefer illum. but not an absolute, adj. parallax. I need excellent low light performance. Possibly a TT315H, but can't think of too many FFP scopes that would work.

Something else that I normally wouldn't say for a trade, but due to the $$$ involved here: If you're new, have little to no feedback, plan on shipping 1st.

Not interested in any Horus reticles, anything Vortex, Leupold, or Kahles, and don't really like FDE. ( I won't necessarily turn my nose up at an FDE scope, but it's not worth a premium to me.)


Open to most payment options except PP G&S, checks will be held until cleared. Rifles, & other stuff pictured, not included, but I might be talked out of them.

Question on Service Record

Picking this as perhaps the best category for this question. My wife was going through old papers today and some were from her father in WW2.

Under Decorations and Citations are the following. Awarded 4 Bronze Stars for Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes. Campaigns per LTR ETOUSA 1944. Purple Heart with 2 OLC per GO 26 Hq 357 Inf 6 Feb 1945. Silver Star per GO 176 Hq 90 Inf 6 Dec 1944. Bronze Star per GO 94 Hq 90 Inf 20 oct 44.

I am guessing he was at Normandy and have no idea if he was in the initial invasions but it appears he was there and went all the way with Patton through the Rhine. Guessing because he never said much about his time but did mention serving under Patton. It seems to me he was a fairly serious dude.

So, what can anyone tell me about this?
