    What is Idaho Falls like?

    The east and west sides of the state are pretty different. The east side (I.F., Pocatello, etc.) is pretty much big farms, ranching, and people that work out at the site. Pretty conservative, lots of Mormons, and the economy isn't too active. And yes, there is a lot of room to shoot. There's a...

    Replies to "Thank you for your service."

    If I'm in uniform I usually say "aw, it's just my job" and act bashful. Most people pick up on that and go about their business. Truthfully, I'm a little embarrassed by it all, when you consider how bad the Viet Nam Vets got treated. The few WWII and Korea guys left don't get much recognition...

    Lilja 3R Rifled ?

    I have a 3 groove Lilja on my .308, and I love the thing. Shoots great clean or dirty, cleans up easy, no bad habits at all.

    Fat man running, what shoes?

    I'm with Rhino on this, go do a gait check at a running store. I was catching hell (just age, not weight) and my local guys got me into some shoes that work with me. Makes a world of difference.

    What is the most Historically Significant Cartridge?

    Well, there's the .303 British round. From 1898 to the advent of the 7.62X51, the British Empire was pretty busy during that time frame.

    My options to accurize M14

    superjc, The theory behind the "better" guide rod is that the motion of operating spring is more consistent, causing all the other moving parts to behave in a more consistent manner. All the moving mass in the M14 (or M1 Garrand) design causes problems when it comes to accuracy. I'm not saying...

    My options to accurize M14

    The M14 was select fire, and the M1A isn't. The USGI M14 has all GI parts in it, which are prized by people building M1A's or other semi-auto versions of the rifle. Standard accurizing for the platform includes glass bedding, unitizing the gas cylinder, reaming the flash hider, and a National...

    Mental excercises

    I have some short-term memory issues, so I did the Luminosity thing, plus the "brain age" thing. I really didn't see any improvement from them. Both of these programs are similar to the ANAM the military uses to check for TBI. It's all about confusion and speed, see? Your doctor knows more...

    I use a set of low 1" weaver rings to mount a Pelican light to my M4. Worked just fine in Iraq, still holding up on my civilian SBR.

    PR and a trophy for last 1/2 of the season

    Good deal! I'm struggling with my run times right now,(combination of injury, coming out of winter, and lazy ass) but I've decided to try for the Robie Creek half next year. It's billed as the "toughest half in the northwest", with about 8 miles of uphill. Seems like decent motivation to me...
