    MAGGOT!? You going to be in town Saturday?

    I get a one way ticket to Cville until further notice. I'll have a nice view of 8,000 people trying to occupy 0.4 acres of real estate. It should be entertaining even if it's a non starter but if there is a spark, this powder keg will cause lots of fireworks!

    Little boy has a small birthday wish.

    Boy battling cancer asks for birthday cards from police I was going to post it in the LEO section but I didn't know if fire fighters were allowed in there. I'm sure he wouldn't mind cards from the military folk either. I don't know why this tugged on my heart so much when I read it this...

    Looking for Wisdom at 1000 yards

    I went out plinking yesterday and had set up to shoot out to 1200 yards. The cows were gracious enough to ruin that shot by knocking over that target and being in that area after I left. So, I found a rock at an unkown distance, took a guess at 950 yards, dialed 32 minutes and took a spotter...

We have a few pvs-14s now but they are about 8 years old or older. They will helmet mounted and/or rifle mounted depending on the person. The 2...

    Recommendations on small medic pouch

    I'm on the hunt for 10 small molle medical pouches to place on our team vests. I would like to find some that have good contents. Most of what I have found so far have 3" bandades and 4" gauze. I guess I'm looking for something that can handle gunshot wounds and stab wounds, not paper cuts. I...

    Gun Wall

    Got a wild hair last night and went to Lowes this morning. Got $160 in it so far and need to spend about $100 more on lumber for shelves. I'm gonna do two 32 inch tall and wide shelves on either side of a 32 inch wide standing gun rack. I'll post the finished pictures in a few days.

    Colt M4LE bullet suggestions

    My department issued Colt has the 14.5" barrell with a 1:7 twist rate. Right now we shoot 55 grain Federal Tactical. Recently our team snipers got ACOGs. When we put them on and sighted them in at 100 yards our best groups were about 5 inches, not what I want in a support rifle. Now, I am not...
