You learn from the example of your parents, but you don't have to be like them.

It isn't as easy to do as it is to say though.

What about Christmas Crackers? We still have them, don't we?

Ritz Crackers?

Animal Crackers are sort of iconic.

Cracker Barrel Cheese

Oh and how about Creepy-Assed Cracker? I guess those are sort of endangered.

Wisecracker?

Can we call people "crackers" any more?

Just wondering before we think things are utterly endangered!

That said "Caucasian Jack" caramel popcorn treats just sounds lame...

Cheers,

In summary the front pin won’t go in on either SR25 upper without a slight reaming. On one LMT lower the pin goes on partially, on another it will seat but with a fair amount of resistance. Lines don’t look bad but there is a slight gap. I’ll run with it for now.

So, @748rpilot … have that conversation yet?

Quote of a lifetime from my deceased father in law. He is giving his notice because of a job offer that doubled his income. His employer counter offered with money, time off, etc. FIL looks the guy straight in the eye and says.

You know how hard I have worked and how much money I have made you. If you could have paid me more all along, why didn’t you? No thanks. I will take my chances where I am starting.

If you got the barrel, try it. If buying, id lean towards a 10 or 11.25 twist for that bullet and shorter barrel. H4895 will be your friend.

got the action screws?

I don't give an honest shit if we didn't go in the first place or if we go back. Besides that if we didn't go, it would mean, NASA siphoned like half of our national budget to make a shitty film.

This is the stubborn mule octagonal. Not thermal fit. I used, heat, SS shim stock, and LT 620.

I like how thiccc it is all the way to the threads and has forward assist. If it was thermal, it’d be perfect.

Welcome from Lafayette. Used to be in Warsaw, but that was a few years ago now. Nice part of the state up there, very green with lots of water!

My 3-15 has glass at least on par with the gen1 razors. And I feel like my gen2 is decent step up from the gen1.

I like the reticle. I hope this trend of obscuring view with a big ass grid is going to come to a end.

Not much more to say besides what’s already been said. Optics never go “bad,” meaning unless they break they’re still totally usable. The trick is finding someone who still finds its features to be worth the asking price. As already noted, the G2B is a heavily dated reticle in “tactical”/precision circles, it’s heavy, big, and parts support for it is likely to be poor. Not sure if Steiner offers a lifetime warranty on them, I haven’t bothered to check.

Frankly, I like a lot of older optics. I think the classic USO SN3 is still tits with a GAP or Gen2XR reticle. But the catch is there’s absolutely no way I’m about to pay $1500 for one. I’d be very hard pressed to pay $1000, even. Maybe $750-800 or so if it had every option exactly how I wanted it and I had a rifle it “belonged” on. But when something like an Athlon Midas Tac will do everything these now-vintage scopes would do short of survive being dropped off a cliff, and will do it for half to a third the cost, the choice is simple. If I’m not jumping out of planes, I don’t need a literal tank for an optic, cool as it may be.

Hard pill to swallow, OP. Been there and it sucks, but you have to decide to just keep it forever, or keep dropping the price until it sells. Also, this is NOT a seller’s market right now, which surely isn’t helping you any.

Thinking about it, the only things I’d change about my Armalite are the color (tan) and the grip angle. I prefer a straighter grip.

Armalite's a highly underrated................great guns.
