Knowing that your brother will always be there is the most comforting thing in the world, non matter what shit storm is going on around you. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="173rdABN" post="1083574" timestamp="1387902144"]I was there in 07-08 with B co 3rd Platoon at Phoenix. Yeah, it sucked. But such is life. I'd rather deploy there again and be with my brothers than anything else though. Most of us all feel that way still. Not a big fan of telling people that I was there. So here's the one time I will. Ha. Hence the photo of Marcus' stuff we found there.... Little stats on that deployment: -42 Purple Hearts out of 140 ish people -70% of all air support in Iraq and Afghanistan combined was in our 3 mile valley during that time -We got in 470 TICs. (Exact number is a 1-2 off, forgot the exact number the TOC recorded)[/quote] Those are some hard core stats man. Jesus.... And almost every Vet I know would rather be in any 3rd world shithole with his brothers again than anything else they could do. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="RED333" post="1083415" timestamp="1387860210"]Well yea it is a good deal, they go for a lot more than that. Ya done good, real good. However a light will give you tunnel vision, all you will see is what is in the light.[/quote] Ive used a light several times, and yes they are bad for tunnel vision. Its mostly gonna get used for shooting coyotes in the backyard when they go to harrasing my dogs and livestock. Its brighter than hell, first thing my wife did was point it at me then ask what the pressure switch did and squeeze it lol. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

If you need me, call me. I'll do anything you need. Prayers sent up for the pup and that the douchebag gets whats coming to him Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Rifle length. I much prefer the long rail look. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Lexington. I was born and raised here in the backwoods. I blame it on 5 years of traveling on Uncle Sams dime with long periods spent in Socal and Japan. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

A buddy just hooked me up with a new weapon light. I think its a good deal for $40. Its a Surefire 9 volt m962 in an arms 17 mount with the pressure switch tailcap. This will be going on my m14 as soon as I do some custom picatinny rails Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Good luck working it. Its hell on lathe tools, saw blades and sanding belts. Awesome stuff and super strong once you get it worked though Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="wildcat56" post="1080887" timestamp="1387411013"] [size=4] got a molle gun cleaning kit that will fit perfect on my new tactical seat covers i am getting for xmas....Thanks Spots!!![/size][/quote] I tried to get something a little more universal since I couldn't get a good read from your posts on what you needed. Glad you like it brother, Merry Christmas Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I love it Tapatalk ate my spelling.

It is laziness. I text alot, and I make sure to spell out every word as accurately as I can and to use the best punctuation possible. It kills me when people do the text speak thing, where they shorten and abbreviate every word, to the point that it is almost unreadable. Its just laziness not to read through the message before sending to see if it makes sense. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Prayers sent Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Here is the pin I got. I don't know who made this, but if you see this please send me an email, I'd like to see about getting a few more. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Ive neverseen one in person, gunshow or otherwise. Good luck with your search Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="Caster" post="1077493" timestamp="1386810934"].............how the hell does every thread I start make its way to casting lead boolits?[/quote] Well the knife thing is settled, so on to the next topic lol. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="Caster" post="1077462" timestamp="1386808629"]The guy who started this thread can load several hundred .308's for the price of them Lapua's.[/quote] I really need to get my shit together. I got a press and some surplus powder. I need some dies, brass and bullets lol. I really need some more shooting in my life Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="BJB" post="1077428" timestamp="1386805510"]All this fussing and bickering.......I think we need to go to Norris Sat. and sling some lead[/quote] I really need to go shooting. But Sat. I have the gunshop open hiuse and sunday I'm working on your new knife. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="mikegideon" post="1077176" timestamp="1386782592"]None of it is cheap when you get into quality. In your case, I'm sure a LOT of time goes into them. It doesn't get any more expensive than hand crafted labor. Good steel costs money. In the case of the higher end folders, you have expensive blade steel and handle materials. My personal favorite... titanium. I have a Sebenza 25 that was over 400 bucks new. Not only am I an idiot, but I got it from Willis, who got it from Kong :)[/quote] And that is the cost of quality. I can by a $10 gas station knife, or I can make a 8" fixed blade that sells for about $150. That fixed blade can be sledge hammered through a locust post though, and keep on chugging. Labor will always be more than material, but it takes high qualitys of both to get a good product. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="I_Like_Pie" post="1077160" timestamp="1386780332"]Anything wrong with a used ebay US made 440HC Buck prince for $30 or a good 3" fixed blade? Or - gasp - a Leatherman tool. I don't understand these $100 pocked knives...then again a fool and his money are soon parted.[/quote] My leather man was $111 lol. And my fixed blades arent cheap. But you get what you pay for Tapatalk ate my spelling.

But a Marine brother sent this to me, and I think its worth a listen. Plus the color guard is using m14's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cp6mKbRTQY&feature=youtube_gdata_player Tapatalk ate my spelling.

SA 1911 with a Surefire right next to it. M14 by the bedroom door with 20 rds in the mag. If I dump 9 rounds of .45 and 20 rounds of .308 into a target and its still alive, then I guess its down to one of bowies and one hell of a fight. The rifle is more for the coyote issues than home invasion. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Welcome Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Like I said, pm your address and I'll get one made up and on its way. You prefer wood handles or paracord wrapped? Tapatalk ate my spelling.
