    Merry Christmas from Accuracy International

    I just got one of those awesome deals on an AI AE MKlll from Mile high and couldn't be happier. Fantastic price, easy ordering, fast shipping on an Accuracy International....couldn't have asked for more.

    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas to all you Hiders :) I got my present a little early...my son who is Army EOD is not leaving for Afghanistan!

    Fieldcraft Two Way Radio

    Old thread, but I thought I'd add this for those that find the thread looking for a cheap comms option. Nextel handheld radios ~ preferred models are #Motorola i355 and i570 for durability, function and privacy. These old Nextel phones work WITHOUT a service plan. Range exceeds what your going...

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    Fieldcraft ACU Camouflage pattern really that bad?

    The camo works better than I would have guessed in the vegetation shown. I need to come shoot with you! Awesome location.

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    I loaded some cases, shot them and attempted to run them through this die...same deal. It gets tight, tight, tight before 1/2 way in.

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    Clean it this way even though it's a brand new die?

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    I'll get whatever lube those that know suggest.
