I don't remember running around with an AK and If small arms are not an issue why are we trying to dub a superior "combat Weapon"

Either way the weapon is only as good as the man behind it. I had time with both and know what I would choose. I have been shot at by these weapons and know for a fact which I would rather look down. This argument can go on for ever but if the weapon is so good why have the losing militaries...

They got the U.S. park Police... its funny I just saw a story on NBC about the Tomb Guards standing through the storm.

Considering I have seen badge holders drinking I doubt it. but the Tomb Badge can be taken back by the Army even after one separates from the Army. If they get a DUI or similar offense they can loose their badge. While there I knew of a badge that got revoked.

When its cold the uniform changes to overcoat with scarf and sometimes boots(very rare) and when it rains uniform is rain coat. Any one in the Third Infantry regiment (TOG) can volunteer for the tomb including the MP company attached to the Old Guard. The MP company has females so there has...

So Im gus's brother, as he said I was in TOG from 00-04 and my friend was a member of the relief that stood through Isabel. They were told that they could stand in the amphitheater doors that face the Tomb but they choose to stay on the plaza. While they are standing guard the M-14 is not...

my understanding is that if you permanently alter the receiver, as in cutting the receiver to accept a lager mag or alter the back half it must be compliant. Seeing as the stock block is a bolt on I am not sure if it is required. The mag well swap is a whole other can of worms because it...

Like my brother said I spent a LOT of time looking at this project and to answer your questions 1) the sl8 uses a combination of the G36 take down pins(One on the hand guard and one at the mag well) the difference comes in the two screws(one on either side) that hold the one piece lower and but...

As did I as did I... grew up with weapons spent time in the military and like a friend told me "if you carry a knife long enough you cut yourself" just didn't think I would.

I learned the same lesson and by no means did I mean any sort of an attack I just wanted to share my great mishap as well.

so I had a ND one time too but now I have a part on the left side of my scalp. I was putting my 1911 in a new dual retention holster while talking to my wife and some how it rode home 180 degrees from normal. The front sight caught the retention bump. I knew it was loaded it was on safe...

JR47 not to simply add fuel to the fire but i would have to say that your interpretation of the modern infantry is much different than how it really is. Our armor is much heavier than the good ol flack jacket and all of the other equipment that I carried was either on my IBA or in my ruck... I...

Gus as to your last response on post #2 on this thread I would have to say you should get a Mosin

At 19 I joined the military to protect all the rights of this great country (yours and mine) and yet I had no since of responsibility? Thanks to my "indoctrination" you now pay me(quite a bit) to go to college... Thank You

I just made a phone call to a friend of mine that is an operator, he had nothing good to say about ARMS and nothing but praise for LaRue. I would be inclined to think that his real world experience with both products would speak louder than a company owner's wife.

Having been in the Army (11B) and been a 240B team leader, and having had to replace more than one ARMS product on that weapon due to failure while deployed I positively join the cult of La Rue and love their products. I run nothing but it on my civilian AR and have had no problems with La Rue...

The way to resolve all the arguing is simply join the military. They will let you shoot open bolt full auto in things much larger than .223/5.56 and it does not cost you a penny.

Lets just say she is shot and bleeding out (that removes the pride BS) the CCW allows to carry concealed and if he is firing her weapon that she was carrying while she was bleeding then that seems to me like it is a case of justifiable shoot not CCW. In such a case it would most likely fall...

Nothing on an ar is really hard. I have done all sorts of work on mine including assembling the lower. A set of punches and normal tools are helpful but as the last post states there are tons of places to find all the info needed to assemble both upper and lower. If you do want to build your...

I have a Rock River ar and i have had stock hand guards, surefire two piece quad rail and now a La Rue 9" free float. The surefire was nice but i wanted to go to a low profile gas block and flip up front sight that maintained the same sight radius. I love the La Rue fore end and it is rock...
