    That a fact, huh?

    Any good tactical pants for summer?

    Well said. I mean really? This is a topic? Didn't Mat Best do an entire video on this. Who TF spends $145-200 on pants. I guess if you got the money sure. But do they make you shoot better, faster? I think a set of light colored BDUs are more than comfortable. Am I always looking to be more...

    Pant/Jacket Suggestions

    I go where my budget allows for what I do. Camping and hunting, not a problem for Carhart, Duluth Trading, Under Armor cold gear line, Got a camo jacket from Midway that is a little lighter than my Carhart, if need be. Danner boots and winter weight socks from Walmart. Some OR gloves, maybe a...

    Remage project

    I know this post is a few months old, but I am interested to see what the inlet near the barrel nut looks like.

    Rifle Scopes what are you most excited to see at SHOT?

    I'm excited to finally see my ass is going. For years I kept forgetting until it was too late. Now I got all 4 days off and intend to see everything I have on my list.

    Gunsmithing SHOOTERS LUBE CLEANER ?

    After my experience with Frog Lube, I have zero interest in any "environmentally friendly" "biodegradable" lubricants. They all look good when advertised in the best of conditions, but when the Frog Lube actually kept my BCA from going into battery because the cold weather caused it to gum up, I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 22 issue

    Not going into battery, if weapon is clean, recoil spring, about $8. Slide dropping on reload, worn slide lock spring. When they get really worn, the slide will even lock while shooting a loaded mag. Its a $6 part, it takes more time to break the weapon down than it does to swap the parts. This...

    Shooting glasses?

    If ballistic eye pro outdoors in the sun is the factor: ESS, Wiley X, Gatorz, Oakley all offer what you need. Most can be had with Rx lenses. Having worn glasses my whole life, I usually had those as my eye pro out on the range. Out here in the desert, sunglasses are a must have. I had a pair...

    Movie Theater What, no love here for Black Panther?

    First off, it's a fictional movie, made up from a comic book. A setting where people do superhuman stuff. So, in order to that, I expect a fair amount of CG effects. That said, the action was about what I expected for it being one of these types of movies. My biggest complaint was the plot. It...

    Need to Thread Test

    Well, I've been on a bit of a hiatus. So I know the forum did some bouncing and I ended up losing literally all my previous posts, and searching for my posts only takes me back as far as 2009. As of now, I have like 3 posts since I came back last year. Was there anything done about that? Was...

    Enfield No4 Mk 1 (T) Sniper, now for sale

    Perfect timing on this post. Now, bare in mind, I know next to nothing about Enfields other than they are British. A coworker of mine just inherited one of these from his grandfather, a No4 Mk1. He has one problem, the magazine is missing. Unless his grandmother happens upon it, he's chalking it...

    Gunsmithing Pressure signs.

    I dunno if my math is off, but the difference in 2.8 and 2.775 is. 025. that ain't a whole lot of room there. Im willing to bet not all pmags are held to such a high tolerance. Regardless, its making sense now. i think ill do a new work up with the 202, set the max around 41gr and start off at...

    Gunsmithing Pressure signs.

    I was wondering if COAL was going to be an issue, just not in a pressure sense. Didn't even think about that. Problem is the rounds are seated to a hair under mag length. Trying to avoid having the tips drag on the mag. (And thats with a Pmag). I will back off on the charges a bit and do a work...

    Gunsmithing Pressure signs.

    Ok, so my buddy and I have been doing some load development on his AR10 and we have been noticing some big pressure signs with reletively mild charges. Pressure signs include cratered, flat and popped primers and some really loose primer pockets plus ejector swipe. So heres the specs. DPMS...

    CCW holder killed along with police in Las Vegas

    So i got two parts of this conversation to respond to. First is for those armchair QBs judging the officers situational awareness. You can have your back against a wall, every civillian in sight, know where all the exits are and still end up dead with your gun still holstered. The couple that...

    2 former Navy SEALs found dead aboard ‘Captain Phillips’ ship

    Thats not necessarily true. Some of the main reasons people OD on heroin is 1. They are new to it, take too high of a dose. Not knowing what is a non-lethal dose. 2. In the case of addicts that stopped for a period of time, then fall back into it, end up trying to pick up where they left off, in...

    Troy Industries Hiring Follies

    If this guy was the spotter then it was his job to make the shoot/no shoot call. I say that situation is as much his call as it was Horiuchi's.

    Movie Theater Just got done watching Lone Surviver...

    Actors have one purpose. Entertain. I am all out of fucks to give in regards to their political views. If 10, 100, 100,000 or 1,000,000 people decided not to watch one of their films then they have made this much of a difference----->0. Watch the movie, like the movie, hate the movie. They get...

    "the military uses it so it must be awesome"

    I would buy something because 1) I have a use for it. 2) Its used and reviewed by others who use it for the same purposes I have. And 3) It gets the job done. Some stuff is mil-spec, some not, some better that what the guys in the service have. I think that the military has also learned that...

    Straight From The Twilight Zone

    Thank you Graham. Key phrase, "IMO", In My OPINION. I am not saying I disagree with you. I happen to agree with you. But my point is, that is not how things work these days. If you feel so strongly about that, then sling up an AR, put on a dropleg with a loaded sidearm, and while your at it...
