Why is it that most everyone finishes up a stage with a variation of the words, "Thank God THAT'S over!", but can't wait for the next match? Why is it that the ONE TIME you don't check your OAL, the rounds will be too long for the magazine? Why is it that for your relay the wind gusts like...

Heh. Maybe I'll see you over there. Look for me around January. I'll be one of the guys riding a Bradley, instead of my natural habitat, an M1A1. Good Luck to you.

Uh-huh. Yeah, sure you did.:evil: OK, you're forgiven. Cool pics! Thanks for the link.

Yeah, even less now that I got the word that my unit is 99% sure going OCONUS. WITHOUT our tanks and Bradleys! You're talkin' about a bunch of irritated 19Kilo and 19Delta troops! I do know what you mean about the breaching ops, though. A lot of the time we don't have engineers and have to...

Kharn, the loader may indeed be the one tasked to take his mask off, but the procedure is a little different than what you said. He's not a guinea pig; you don't begin unmasking procedures unless you're VERY certain there aren't any Chem agents in the area. Anecdote alert! The only time...

You like? You should see the coax ready ammo box. The tank carries 10,000 rounds of 7.62, most of which is in one loooooong belt in the coax box. Can you say "barrel burnout"? I knew you could.:D I]edited to add:[/I] I stand corrected. An M1A1 carries 10,800 rounds total, but only 2800...

Quite a bit of info here; some of it good, some not so good. The seating layout MrMurphy gives is correct; the picture provided by Mr. Mysterious is of the interior of an M1A2, showing the gunner, TC and some (but not all!) of the guards that are in place when firing the main gun. The...

Believe it or not, some of my friends have actually requested flea/tick collars. They want to put them on their cots to keep vermin away from their sleeping arrangements.

Nightcrawler, I've been watching S&W 586/686 prices on AA and GB for awhile now... I see good examples going for around $300 +/- all the time. One of the most undervalued revolvers on the market. Heck, I just bought a 2.5" 686 for $340 a few months ago. After shipping and transfer fees, I...

Here's my 2.5" 686.

FINALLY got around to taking some pics of my 2.5" 686 and wanted to show it off...

Saw that yesterday, right after I ate my lunch. That's just nasty.

The only time I ever shot a game animal with my .358/99, it was a nice mulie buck at about 50 yards, steep downhill. Hit high in the back, he required a finisher. When we dressed him out, the only thing left of his spine where the bullet hit were a couple of tendons for about 4 inches. The...

In that case, all you are going to have to do is ask around. I don't know if the Rez has specific regulations on hunting or not (ask at the tribal office), or just find a rancher outside the boundaries. I'd suggest working your way south towards Dupoyer and Choteau, alternately head east...

Huh? My friend, I think you need to look a little closer at your map. Glacier is in Northwest Montana, not Northeast. However, assuming you will be around the park, there are plenty of places to go after columbian ground squirrels (aka gophers to most Montanans) on both sides of the divide...

My Springfield 5100 16ga. works just fine. Took a few pheasants with it this last season, I just don't think I'll ever need a different field gun. I did get rid of the plastic and replaced it with some semi-fancy walnut from Wenig gunstocks. Cricket likes mine so much that when she found a...

Unfortunately, I've pretty much reached the stage of "I know what I want, but it's so esoteric you'd never be able to find one, so just give me the money you were going to spend and I'll see it goes towards something I actually want and will use. Thank you." with most of my relatives. One of...

Nope BluesBear, the 120 is a smoothbore. Dang it Buzz, you beat me out by a minute.

Well, if you use the traditional method of gauge determination (the number of lead balls in that diameter that equal 1 pound), a 120mm diameter lead ball weighs 22.6 pounds. So now the question is, would that be a 1/23 gauge? And the more I think about it, wouldn't you want some kind of...

re: the M240. Since the Army uses it as both the coax and loader's MG on the M1 Abrams, it was in service by 85. The M-60 was still the main squad machine gun.
