    My 300blk

    Hope it isn't too heavy because of thar UBR!!! Those stocks are too cool, but I read so many people bitch about the weight. Sent from somewhere in the cosmos using magic...and bacon.
  2. I would be getting myself and firearms out of the country if possible. Sent from somewhere in the cosmos using magic...and bacon.
  3. I don't like birds being around the house after what a few of them did to my car over the course of weeks.   Other than that, I love some nature. Especially eating it.
  4.   .........but......it's not...just....a freakin' knife....   :2cents:
  5.   It'll be like crack for the OCD knife enthusiasts... :clap:
  6. I have a bad habit of doing that. Sent from somewhere in the cosmos using magic...and bacon.
  7. My biggest suggestion is to try and keep you resume to one page. I'd also recommend experimenting with formats that flow well and are simple enough to quickly reference. Sent from somewhere in the cosmos using magic...and bacon.
  8. July will be a good month. I can feel it! Sent from somewhere in the cosmos using magic...and bacon.
  9. Good idea indeed. Never would have considered an airhorn.   My bug out bag only has a compass and a water filtration kit in it so far......
  10. A pistol that shoots rockets, and doesn't look like a Glock!
  11. I was really hoping something would go horribly wrong with this for some reason....does that make me a bad person?
  12. **expletive**...my life...
  13. Well, I got a good undercarriage wash on the way to work yesterday.
  14. What constitutes lightweight? I'd like to keep my 300 blackout as light as possible....

    AR Novice

    My best advice for getting into the AR platform is to NOT rush on purchasing one. As mentioned, reading is key. I'd recommend taking up TrickyNicky's offer to get some hands on. The more hands on you get, the more you will know what you really want.

    AR Novice

    Do you possibly mean gas vs piston? Or Carbine vs pistol? The charging handle is essentially for manually loading the cartridges into the the chamber for the first round in the first magazine, before the gas operation (unless you are using a piston upper) takes over and starts loading the cartridges for you after each shot. The charging handle does this when there is a loaded magazine in the mag well by pulling the bolt carry group back against buffer and buffer spring; when you let go of the charging handle, the spring and buffer assemble cycles the bolt carry group back into position; along the way,  the bolt face catches the cartridge from the loaded magazine as it is going back into the original position, putting the cartridge into the chamber. After emptying a magazine, there is a bolt catch on the left side of the lower which catches the bolt making it to where you don't need to use the charging handle on successive reloads; the bolt catch holds the bolt back against the buffer assemble in a locked position, as if you were to pull the charging handle back and keep it held back. When the bolt catch is holding the bolt carry group, just insert a loaded magazine, then press the bolt catch lever to unlatch and this forces the bolt back into position just as mentioned above when you would let go of the charging handle. You can also engage the bolt catch before loading the first magazine by pulling and holding the charging handle back, then pressing the bottom end of the bolt catch to engage this mechanism, then just proceed as if you were reloading...but that is generally too much of a pain in the ass, and I won't do it unless I am going to the range and need the bolt "open" when the range goes cold. At least this is how I understand it.
  17. Just started some stuff yesterday. Don't know why I had such a hard time getting motivated this year. We'll see what happens.
  18. The Wal*Mart near Ft. Campbell in Clarksville has carried Sig ARs for quite some time. At least a couple years now.
  19. What caliber?
  20.   Well, if we go that route...do you know what the limit function in calculus is?
  21. Beer achieved. Subaru will be staying outside. Need the pollen washed off. :usa:
