    KRG Bravo Chassis

    True that! An former boss of mine used to say "this would be a great business if it weren't for all these customers!" :D Another friend who just sold his business told me "90% of my customers I hope to see again in the future. The other 10% I hope I NEVER see again!!"

    Am I crazy?

    Interesting that you can't completely determine which is your dominant eye. My wife is the same way. Half the time when she does one of the "tests" it will show her to be right eye dominant, and the other half she comes up left eye dominant. But she's right handed and shoots right handed, so...

    Movie Theater The Code

    It wasn't bad, but they need a better military advisor. The main characters walked around outside with no cover on, and when the one woman put her cover on, she wore it like a car hop or an airline stewardess, rather than like a Marine officer. I'll watch a few more episodes, just to see how...

    Cheek riser

    I have the original stock on my Remington 700 SPS, and I needed a cheek riser as well. I picked up one of these Blackhawk units and I like it pretty well. Works great for me anyway...

    Movie Theater The Code

    Had a meeting last night, so the premier is on my DVR. Will watch it tonight and let you know what I think.

    Beam scale vs electronic scales

    Well, I may be the outlier, but I still use my old beam scale. Never trusted the electronic ones. Sure, I'm not loading huge volumes of ammo, but I get along just fine with my good old beam scale. It's dead-nuts accurate and dead-nuts simple. No power needed and easy to check accuracy...

    decapping live primers?

    Yep, I'll add my support to this statement. If all you're trying to do is reduce the powder charge, why do you need to remove the primer?? Just pull the bullet, charge the case with the proper charge for your application, and reseat the bullet. Voila!

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    Don't be so sure! You might be amazed at the quantity and quality of stupid in today's society.

    Movie Theater After some good Vietnam audio books or ebooks recommendations

    Eyes of the Eagle, by Gary Linderer is pretty good (as well as several follow-up books by him). Also there are a whole bunch of aviation-related books that are really good. To the Limit is great if you liked Chickenhawk. There are many others as well. The Ravens, by Christopher Robbins is...

    Wanting a battle rifle

    AR platform in 6.8 SPC is a pretty nice multi-purpose rifle. At least, I think so. Ammo cost is probably higher than the more common rounds, but the rifle is really sweet!

    Vietnam Tiger Stripe in Cerakote

    Thanks for the info. Definitely going to consider doing something like this. (Just don't tell my wife!!) :)

    Vietnam Tiger Stripe in Cerakote

    So, what does it cost to have something like the Tiger Stripe pattern done on an AR-type rifle? (I didn't see this mentioned earlier in the thread. Forgive me if I missed something.) I assume cost is somewhat dependent on the number of colors and the pattern. Just trying to learn! Thanks!!

    Text colors

    Geeez. Sorry I blew up!! The reason I asked is that I hadn't made any changes in settings on my end, so I just wondered why it had changed. Lighten up bit already! Excuse me for trying to learn something.

    Text colors

    Not sure about y'all, but I am not liking the new font colors in the forums. Yesterday (and days before), threads with unread posts showed up in yellow, while threads with no new posts showed up in white. Now everything is white, with threads containing unread posts are a bit bolder, and...

    Beleiver in AR lapping

    Yep, totally agree on this. I've done 2 ARs. Both with Aero upper receivers. Both times I had to heat the upper in order to get the barrel to fit. That's the kind of fit I want. And neither of the Aero uppers were "perfect". Both needed a little lapping. Not much, but some. Both rifles...

    Can dry fire hurt the firing pin/extractor?

    I always use snap caps. Then I don't really have to worry about anything.

    Beleiver in AR lapping

    I've built two ARs, and used Aero upper receivers on both. Both benefited from lapping, as I could see visually that the face was not completely true. I used the Wheeler tool, and bedded both barrels with loctite. Never shot them pre-lapping, so can't do a comparison. But I do know that both...
