Plumbers are way worse than HVAC, and at least the HVAC guys can read. Many plumbers are on par with roofers for IQ. There should be an IQ test before the sell you a sawzall.

I've seen hundreds of times that the house gets under roof and the buyers come in and want walls moved, bathrooms rearranged, stairways moved and doorways changed. Contractor says okay without any concerns or consulting with the subs and then everything lines up with floor trusses/joists.

I like how the helicopter in E has a Huey skid on one side and a Blackhawk wheel on the other.

Big bird probably has an extra leg, too!!!

Question is did the tail fail because the main rotors whacked it off

Did it fail because maintenance was all “whirlybirds and shit?”

Just wondering. “Hola, I can fix choppers because I maintained my own ‘74 El Camino,
Jefe.”

It is a valid question.

Maven rs1.2.

Mag range, function, a reticle that’s actual decent at low power, reasonable price.

I’d happily trade my LRTS and LRHS2 for another but haven’t quite justified the upcharge. It’s like an improved version with better reticle and mag range for hunting.

I have updated mine and haven’t had any issues. Even logged 65 shots with the BB gun club and didn’t miss a one in the basement of the building.

Seems like I read somewhere that updated units were doing ok with 22lr and slower, just missing centerfire shots (?).

IF YOU DON’T WANT TO UPDATE (and I can’t imagine who would right now), close out the app (completely) on your phone and it should stop the cue to update. A friend of mine accidentally hit OK when it cued him for the update because he was just hitting OK repeatedly as you normally do when you first turn it on. He didn’t see it and unknowingly OK’d the update. Yep, started missing shots after that.

Is this the Granite pattern from Altus?

Saw both Tull and Pink Floyd back in the day. Both amazing but David Gilmour always been my favorite.

The first firearm I bought was a new 39A at local place back in 1978. Really nice rifle with a horrible trigger. Expect your will be superb

The trigger is not bad at all, a bit heavy but breaks clean and no travel. I'm hopping to get to the range.

Odd, I've got rifles and pistols that cast a LOT more than this, but they dont have the aura. This thing was born about the time the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor. It's eight years older than I am.

Where'd you land the .223 kit?

Short Action Customs.

I also think Special Purpose Rifle might be doing some as well.

It sounds like you'd best be looking for an AT.

Any of the first four on the list you can forget about, especially the L96 and PM CISM. L96s were British (and Irish contract) military issue. 12 of the Irish contract ones were imported into the US a few years ago but will command an incredibly high price, perhaps $30k or more. PMs were made on order for police and law enforcement, and non-British military, but a very few were sold commercially. There are also a few PMs in the States, but again, same sort of money. PM CISMs are virtually non-existent outside of military CISM shooting team armouries, mainly in Sweden, Norway, and Oman. PM and L96 are the same action and chassis, but different name by end user and subtle differences in accoutrements. Some very late PMs were folding.

AW and AE are also very expensive, about $10k+ for an AW and bit less for an AE. They are basically the same action mechanically except the AE is round and AW is square. AW is glued to the chassis and AE isn't and has a Rem700 style recoil lug. Only issue with the AE is that the Mk1 and possibly Mk2 have unique mags, whereas Mk3 uses AICS. The original 90s AT is almost non-existent except in wooden target rifle form. The sniper ATs are extremely rare and not many know about them. They're basically an AW with a round tang, AE MK1/2 style shroud and safety, and AWM 6-lug boltface.

The 2014-2024 AT is also available in fixed thumbhole chassis and are quite a bit cheaper, perhaps $4000 minimum. You'll always find some opportunistic listings that are overpriced on account of the AT being discontinued and therefore "rare" so try to shop around. There are lots of spares for these still around and are fine rifles, especially with the quick change barrel feature. The skins aren't as sleek as the OG skins on an AW and AE because they are multi-panel. You'll just have to live with that unless you can fork out $10k+ for an AW.

Wow, thank you! A clean and simple answer. Whats AE and AT stand for?
