Sidearms & Scatterguns I think I want a new range belt but don't know which one

Having a range belt with the inner and outer belt combo, allows you to wear the inner belt like a regular belt and then you can attached the outer belt at any time once you are looking to shoot/be on the range. Much more convenient.
Oh I gotcha. I though you were saying that it only works best with an inner belt made by Crye and no one else.

Time pieces/Watches?

My youngest daughter had her pinning ceremony for making it through RN school.

She now has to pass the NCLEX before she can work as an RN.

The schooling is an accomplishment, but passing the boards is where all the pieces come together.

Wife and I have been talking about getting her a watch as a gift for her hard work. A watch would be something she can have forever and wear to work.

She’s a tiny thing. Maybe 5’4” and 110 pounds soaking wet. That said she has little wrists.

I bought my wife (also an RN) a Bulova ten or so years ago thinking it would hold up to the demand of a nurse. The constant hand washing eventually got the best of the watch and moisture seeped inside it and the crown would fog constantly. Not impressed.

Anyways, looking for recommendations on a watch in the $800-$1,000 range that is robust, small crown, but quality.

I don’t know shit about women’s watches so thought I might reach out here as your knowledge supersedes mine.

Much appreciated.
Congrats. No recommendations from me.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

His response to that comment was we are not playing cards, as he is not fluent in english, he may still have no idea what Trump/Vance were talking about. Trying to communicate in English is not a wise move on his part. He should use a translator, as he obviously is not fluent in it.

I don't think he was selected to choose the latter.

Regardless of the bull shit around this. The conflict has been basically a stalemate for nearly 3 years and kicked off 11 years ago. For multiple reasons IMO it is far past time to end it.
True, it needs to end. It would/should be easy to end, stop sending money and equipment to Ukraine. However , the neocons and MIC owned politicians will not allow that to happen.

Bankruptcy R700 woes

Mike, this is an incredibly helpful picture. I can see where my screw made the slightest amount of contact with the lug. If you don’t mind, how much did you file the screw down? I would imagine a small change would alleviate this.
Until it stops rubbing, then one or two passes more for good measure. Id take one thread off to start with

As far as excreting the magazine goes, I’m inclined to switch to a BDL bottom metal. Can anybody recommend a low tier / middle of the road option for that? This is just a muddy weather hunting rifle, so I’m not super concerned with the quality of this part so long as it feeds.
All of the ones I would buy are going to be half the cost of a kdg bravo chassis. Hard to recommend 200+ bucks bottom metal for a factory stock like that. Get a factory bottom metal off of ebay or something. There is a legacy international replacement but its proprietary mags. Might work for you but I cant guarantee it will be better than what you have now.

Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

Is how far the call is away important? I’ve tried all different distances
I keep it close most of the time. 25 to 30 yards. Make sure you can see and see down wind of the call.

Coyotes will generally circle to get down wind, except for the young dumb ones or the super hungry ones.

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Wanted something known to run in AA Glock kits to break it in.

Found this at WM, I have not seen it before. Seems to be a 40g version of MM.

Going to try Federal Auto Match since it is 325/$19.99 at WM but reportedly Federal is problematic. Remington Golden Bullets are supposed to run as well.

We use to do work for Pemex (Mexican Gov't Oil Company) . They would fly in a C-130, we'd load two 212's in it. They would borrow a company truck, go to Walmart and buy tv's, bikes, food, stereos, window units all kind of shit, then pack, stuff and cram it in the aircraft. That fucking thing was packed to the ceiling. We were at an old Navy base, the run way was 8000' with a 1000' run off on each end. We'd stand on the taxiway and bet if the plane would get airborne? It sure used up almost all of the runway, but that pig flew!

XM7 worries from the field.

Imagine 1.4 million Chinese infantry equipped like us. Their basic rifle qualification starts at 200 Meters and closes to 100.

The PLA is receiving the first of 1.4 million sets of SAPI plates this year. High-cut MICH helmets fielded in 2018-19. They're starting to get night vision.

The birth requirement for the 6.8 cartridge was to defeat a Chinese SAPI at 600.

Each American Soldier will carry fewer rounds and magazines.

The Chinese prefer to attack at 4:1. If you are the main effort they will dog-pile at 10:1. Terrain is less important to them than destroying forces. If the attack is successful they pursue to annihilate, and stop only when ordered.

Their artillery support will target you at 5:1. They prefer 7:1.
