My oldest son made it through MEPS, but the Docs at the Ft Jackson Reception Bn found an annotation of a possible seizure disorder (he has never been actually diagnosed with a seizure disorder and doesn't have seizures) in his med records and would not let him start BCT. They sent him home with...
I use only Wilson Combat ETM's.....had 47D's but they started having issues, Wilson said send them back and we will replace them and I paid a $5 upcharge per magazine to get the ETM's. 1911's can be finicky and yours may not like a particular mag, if you can scour some pawn shops and get deals...
Did a search but didn't find anything like what I am looking for. Basically looking for 3-Gun, 2-Gun, and/or IDPA matches in SE Georgia/NE Florida. I would prefer to keep it to within 2-3 hours of Kingsland, but I have been known to drive 8+ hours for a major match. Also, is there a link to a...
Not sure what commercial flight you are referring to? With the exception of one C5, all of my deployments to this theater have been on a C17...
edit** and yes, you can take uppers and, in fact, whole weapons on commercial flights, ever heard of NATO orders?
Yep, ya got me. I would slink off to the basement if I wasn't already there with my Cheeto's, Mountain Dew and Call of Duty. Some points to ponder on your knowledge base:
1. An upper is not a firearm.
2. Which is it "NO us military is allowed personal weapons while deployed. doesn't matter if...
It blended in with the Crane built uppers we had. I actually preferred the 10.5" suppressed most of the time, seems like it was a better all around choice and guys weren't skittish about going into a room with you. Let's face it, that lil Honey Badger just looks bad *** and it doesn't knock you...
When the mission warranted. Usually when in the turret or in up armored NTVS. They are a pain to get in and out of with kit on and dang near impossible with a 14.5" barrel, sling, and all the other junk hanging off of it. The 7.5 never got snagged on anything because most times I was able to put...
As I clarified, I retired last year, technically, I haven't used the 7.5 in about a year or so. Especially since I now have a suppressed 8" .300 BO. I only mentioned locations to give an idea of environments, but looking at it now, I could have just said "in all environments".
I don't know...
No. Retired US mil, deployed contractor. Should also clarify that when I said currently running, I meant stateside, I do not have that setup with me on this deployment.
I am currently running a 7" YHM rail on mine with a KAC QD flash suppressor. I plan on changing it up a little bit when I get back CONUS this go around, since I now have an SBR lower and a suppressor that will fit it, I may go to a longer hand guard. I have been using mine since 2005 in places...
I run a Leupold 1.5-5X on my .223/5.56 AR in competitions and find that 5x just isn't helping me much at 300, probably because my eyes are getting older. The current .308 AR build I am doing, also with 16" barrel, will have a Nikon M-308 4-16x with the BDC 800 reticle in it. Currently they are...
