So great to hear so many people are discovering these things. I can't believe how late I was to the party. I made sure to grab an optic with locking elevation turrets and easy reset windage so it's easy to zero out turrets per zero for each barrel.

Now I just really need to find a 223 bolt and barrel!

Cucumbers are basically the same that Ikea serves…a couple different vinegars (rice wine and white wine I believe), some salt and sugar, and dill.

I agree that watches are a status symbol, but only for people who care, which is a small minority. The only one worth having, for me, and that’s recognized by non-watch people, is the Rolex GMT Master with the Pepsi Bezel. Growing up on James Bond movies it’s the only watch I ever wanted. They’re like $12k now just for a regular one.

Truth be told quartz watches keep better time, but they’re effected by the Earth’s magnetic field. Only mechanical watches are unaffected near the poles.

Dive computers are more conservative than tables, but you actually get more bottom time because they’re constantly recalculating and you are not penalized for travel time at the bottom time rate.

I used to do an advanced class on saturation rates, and the old Navy tables are considerably more conservative than the Padi or Naui tables. Yes, a few more minutes on a first dive, but look at the sit times! Navy tables are controlled by bone, and you drop letters very slowly. The dive agency tables are controlled by cartridge, and you drop letters fast, which makes sense for multiple, shallow resort diving (max what 140). You are much more likely to get bent off gassing from soft tissue than firmer tissue.
Again,

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
