Don't ask me, I've replaced my suunto cover 3 times already. I even bought a suunto kit with a tool, but they changed battery size on my other suunto and there goes another cover. The hint I can give is to use something that fills the entire slot, like gunsmith driver bits do on gun screws.

Comms, is that you? I too seen a character with a gun stuffed in his back pocket at Walmart, only the corner was sticking out but I couldn't id it. Must be a trend, unless it was the same guy.

Do they tell you what kind of trees? I found out that black walnut will kill other trees and plants. I had to cut one down, and the roots still killed an apple tree I planted a couple feet away from the stump.

Ok, this was what I was going to reply to (without quote, so not directed specifically to it); the hard return (Enter) gives you a new paragraph, a feature I kinda like and wish other forums did this, a long post without paragraphs is difficult to read and some people really like to type. Now, you basically type until you want a new paragraph, the post will wrap around until the end.

Ok, this is weird. So I went to enter a reply and as soon as I clicked in the reply box, it populated the box with a post (below) that I thought I had already posted. It did this once before but I deleted it and entered the reply I wanted. Does this software autosave? If so, where is it stored, and when is it supposed to flush it?

No issue here, I did not retain the fact that we had had this discussion in the past, otherwise I may not of even posted a response. I am definitely not what we can call a Subject Matter Expert (SME), and have no working knowledge of what a sleazy prosecutor (there are some) would use to make his case. Looking more into it, you may be right as so far as them trying (and succeeding) to use mundane information about you, your life experience and training against you. This link is a good article about such cases, but my take away from this article is that the defendants had bad lawyers: Article - Training Against you in an SD case But even so, the conduct of your instructor should play no part in a case against you. As for soldiers, not arguing about the combat part, not entire true but not part of the argument. I was speaking of our military training when it come to a case of self defense; if a prosecutor can bring up my training I am in a world of hurt. Most of my training (non MOS related) involves the quick and effective way to dispatch other combatants, with firearms, knives and hand-to-hand . But I was also trained in non-lethal technics in case I am a POW or prisoner of a hostile government, for which you can be tried for murder if you dispatch a guard. I guess my point is that instead of worrying what a prosecutor would do, you need to focus on making sure it's a good shoot first, then worry about what they can use against you. I can hear the prosecutor now, "so, why did you choose to put two rounds in the victims chest and one in his head instead of disarming him?" It's a shame when some of these cases get to this point, but most of the ones mentioned in the article, and others like it, have extenuating circumstances surrounding the shooting in the first place.

I guess I'll just stop posting, or add a disclaimer:

Never met the guy, probably never will; but I doubt anyone trained by him or his facility has anything to worry about in or out of court. If your training could be held against you, I and many of my fellow Veterans would be in trouble. My very first combat training always started with a shout of "Kill, Kill, Kill Without Mercy!", and got more aggressive after that.

There is no spoon errr, Carhart.

Thought I would pass this along for those wishing to purchase a lower: PSA Blem Lower $139 (free shipping) I don't see this listed on their daily deals so maybe just an email campaign.

I just use the link on the upper or lower right, the activity link does bring up more for me too; it does start with the newest though.

Quoted?? Nope, still good.

Hmmm, lets see All good here, using Internet Explorer.

Vine varieties do ok in small spaces, they'll seek out the room. I once "lost" a watermelon that went into the underbrush, but once I found it it was ready to harvest. I planted three varieties of tomatoes, Roma, Sweet 100s, and early girl, and of course jalapeños. I also put in 4 cauliflower and 4 broccoli hoping to get them to grow this year. No vine stuff, I don't know how well it would work in the raised planters, not to mention the electrical wires.

You have a nice setup, I may expand mine a bit just for S&G, right now I just plant salsa

I won't go into a bunch of could be's but Baron von Steuben was a definite force multiplier during the revolutionary war, imagine what a seal team could do to get one side or the other trained in modern military tactics?

These are the cases that will be going to the SC, and some here want to take the chance of letting Hillary get the job of appointing at least one possibly more of the next judges.

It happens, specially with slower moving handgun bullets. A bullet needs some resistance to penetrate, that is the way Kevlar works, it dissipates the energy from point of impact to the surrounding surface. I wouldn't read too much into it .

All is not lost, just get a clamp on gas block: Clamp-on Low Pro if you want it under the hand guard (measure inside your hand guard for fit) Clamp-on Rail Height with picatinny rail if you want it exposed

Some of that was tried, but many still had the old way of doing things ingrained into them. Heck they even took out Lincoln, a bit late, but to no avail.

Good luck with that, if they are removed the bottom will drop out of the market and there is no way any of those shops will support that.

No mention of what gas block or whether it's dimpled or not. Look directly under the gas port for the dimples, since it's nitride coated it will need a good drill bit to dimple it if not already done. Get a set of calipers and measure around where the gas port is, even a cheap HF $10 set (coupon) will give you a good measurement.

They can be as low as this: Alloy from Midsouth $10.40 Steel from Midsouth $21.89 (I's go steel) you may need to dimple your barrel if not already done. Or as much as: Clamp on steel from Daniel Defense $61.00 Clamp ons are good if you have enough room under the handguard and no dimples on the barrel. All these are for .750 diameter barrels (at the gas block) so be sure to measure yours (or check specs) before buying one. Also there are adjustable ones but no links to those since more than likely you won't need one at this time.

They will last a season or two, friend of mine has his in frames using the hay as filler to raise the height then some garden dirt on top of that. Me, I went the 55gl barrel direction last season, all I got out of them was jalapenos though, squirrels got all my tomatoes. This year they are coming in well, but now I have a plastic owl, a blow up snake and if that doesn't do it, I have electric lines on the top...heh heh, fried squirrel.

Even with M4s with a full combat load, this may not have been a done deal if an effective strategy is was not employed. You figure the Confederate Troops in this situation could withstand an attack like this? But again, this goes back to ammo discipline; how many of those repeating rifle's bullets found their mark? Sometimes equipment is not everything, training goes a long way in the effective use of said equipment.
