I can honestly say, as an ex-high school math teacher (amongst a few other professions) that I would bone each and every one. Or all of them. I mean, individually or as a covey. Yeah...math...not fucking poetry. Singularity or plurality..I don't really fucking know. As my duty as an oldasfuckMarine...I would give my absolute best effort to prevent these gals from corrupting minors.

Those fuckers can wait their turn

Which is the best AR-10 without barrel deflection: the Geissele MRGG or the Seekins SP10M?

That is interesting… Looking at it though, my inclination is that this is more of a mechanism to make the entire receiver/hand guard assembly more rigid (less wobble) vs. a way to remove the hand guard from the upper. I’d expect some type of “bridge” type scope mount to tie the upper to the hand guard will accompany this.

Of course I could be completely wrong…if they wanted it all tied together, why not just add the lower receiver tie in to a hand guard that’s already attached to the upper receiver too; maybe even a monolithic upper. 🤷‍♂️

And of course tying the upper, lower, and hand guard together negates a simple two-pin take down mechanism too, so that doesn’t really make sense either. But having the hand guard attached to the lower would make it difficult, if not impossible, to remove the upper receiver/barrel assembly anyway…maybe there’s enough clearance to release the pins, rotate the upper, and the slide it out? 🤷‍♂️

Edit: And how would you pull the BCG for a quick field strip/cleaning without first removing the hand guard?

So yeah, interesting… The more I look at this, the more questions I have! LoL

Headed for a Fire Base or an Infantry Resupply. Cases of Bud, and a PX Box. The box had stateside candy boxes (Jujubes, Jr Mints, Gum anll in stateside packaging) and cartons of cigarettes. This could either be the first run or the last run, and often the beer was a gift of the BN commander, or thoughtful Supply Sgt. two cans a piece. I took mine, and since I didn’t drink, would trade them for the more desirable candies or a can of pineapple chunks. BTW, the CO would say every time, “drink em now, I don’t want to hear a can opening tonight on watch.” VN, 1968/69- 101 Airborne.

Fuck hippies with a rusty fire hydrant.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

our production/consumption model is inflationary by it's structure. seems to me that up until about the 90s (?) things held. to keep manufacturing going,planned obsolescence had to be made an integral part of the system. having the "latest" thing with the attached advertising pushed the consumption cycle. advert industry had the human psych well locked in. that ad work paid well for a reason. it was a necessary part of the system.
just some observations- ever drive down the auto dealer street in your town? hundreds of new vehicles. do they all sell? what happens to those that don't? what about used? appliances the same thing. 1st washer/dryer i owned lasted 25 years. new ones meant to crash in 7 with no repair parts made available. take a look at our shooting world. always the newest,latest thing showing up that you just have to have. scopes,guns,ammo that promise performance unavailable in the past. really? the things used by the top 1% will take you into that group. really?
think about the financialisation of the economy-the stock market,bonds,odd financial instruments. where do those fit the picture? all of that has to be inflationary. our capitalist system is in deep shit. debt at all levels being out of control,over consumption,huge waste levels,resource limitation are a few of the problems.
unfortunately capitalism is the ONLY system that supports individual freedom and liberty. alternatives have easily sold to the deliberately non thinking majority at many times in the past. any human system ultimately makes concentration of power in few hands inevitable.
retaining or taking back one's liberty and true freedom is looking pretty iffy these days. doing well in one's own context getting harder.

Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

As my Norsk buddy Sven would say "Yay, you betcha"
Rimfires:
Start each shooting session with full boxes of ammo and empty mags. Load the mags and start shooting. With a miss, pick up an empty case and drop in your pocket. At the end, count how many rounds fired by the number of empty boxes and the empty holes in remaining boxes. Count pocketed empties, deduct from total. One must be honest with one-self. Using the 17HMR makes this easier, much better splat factor then the LR.
Centerfires:
With a hit, place brass back in case primer up. A miss, primer down so that great big zero is looking you in the face.

I only started using the .223 when the close dumb ones were gone and on the really windy days. There's something quite special when you hear that "whomp" after nailing a 4 oz. fur covered water jug with a fast moving CF slug.
