    Maximum range of standard velocity 22LR

    29 Palms. We did multiple FIREX up there for CAAT teams prior to DS/DS. A good chunk of it was defilade firing training

    Maximum range of standard velocity 22LR

    Reminds me a little of when we practiced defilade fire with heavy machine guns at targets out to 4500 meters. Of course our goal was to develop a beaten zone on a convoy route or entrenchments.

    First attempt at a live edge bowl. It is 12” at the widest point and a little over 6” tall.

    It’s that alien technology they got out at Area 51 starting to slowly and subtlety program us to become a docile protein source…..

    Decided to upgrade my old Delta wet wheel grinder now that I have a lathe. Made a shop made base so I could mount a Wolverine jig with the new slow speed grinder and CBN wheels.

    @502Chevelle Yeah, Indian Head was a lot like Ground Hog Day....classes, study hall, Powder Keg. It is a Strider MTL-SS and it got beat to shit during some summer vacations in Iraq (the blade is around 1/4" shorter than original). When I retired, I cut off the wrap and sent it to the Strider...
