What does “black flagged” mean in this context?

This is an active range complex aboard a military base and when Range Control cancels all training due to excessive heat danger this is called a black flag condition.

So, a great ending to a 4-year search.

A few days ago, I posted that I purchased a new LH 308 AXMC bolt body from EO. I was going to send it to Fritz for conversion to a 300WM boltface. What I didn't tell you all is that a few hours earlier, @Tack425 PM'd me that he was expecting a shipment of TWO brand new LH AXMC 300WM bolt bodies. He and I have been talking about trying to find one for three years now. I still ordered the LH 308 body as insurance since there was only one in stock. I didn't think that getting two was possible, but two days later, he sent me a photo via PM showing that he had TWO of them. He offered to sell one to me at his cost. Needless to say, I jumped on that.

Today, USPS arrived, and lo and behold, I have the holy grail.

I also have a spare LH AXMC bolt body in 308...LOL. I will keep it and sell my original to someone who is looking.

This couldn't have turned out better. The smile on my face is ear-to-ear. Goes to show what a great community we have here on the Hide.

Many thanks to @Tack425 for being an outstanding person!
