Hope all have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day, also remember who picked up the tab so that we might live in this Nation free, we honor and mourn the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces at this time, and those who have served and continue to serve so...

Picking the one thing about the .220 Swift on a build, 🤔 I'd say get enough barrel a minimum of 26" inches, then perhaps look at a bit longer you can't go wrong with a little extra barrel in a .220 Swift. The twisting thing I think is determined by the bullet weights you want to use and the...

You left out, Grenades, RPGs, AT4s, Claymores, CL-20 and HMX for their boobytraps, and C-4 in a pinch. They have the money and the contacts as I said before to buy whatever they want, they don't need people at a local gun show in Bubble Gum Texas buying it for them. 😬 Just my 0.2 Cheers

1.666 yds with a crossbow! that's not a shot, it's a subway stabbing in a crowded car. 🤣👍 Cheers

Ok... but you have to read between the lines here, anything .50 cal makes them go crazy because they don't know the difference in many cases. Cheers https://vpc.org/regulating-the-gun-industry/criminal-use-of-50-caliber/

You would think by now these so-called experts, the dumb smart people would understand that the cartels can and do buy illegal weapons from all over the world including weapons we sell to friendly countries. I'm pretty sure they aren't going into the Dallas Fort Worth gun shop(s) and buying...

It looks like Midway USA might have some brass, I'd buy a few boxes and look for dies if you're a reloader, this stuff is never going to be cheap and there is no alternative(s). Back in the day I saw this coming and picked up about 40-plus boxes of new brass when it was something close to...

Well, yeah... here you go. .308 Win Rem Case Sierra 220gr Pro Hunter SP RN with cannelure Rem 9 1/2 Mag primer Alliant 2400 (12.5grs) Vels 1050 fps Note: Use LEE Facotry Crimp Die on cannelure heavy crimp. Caution: This is my load for my rifle, always use caution.

Yes, I posted this a few post back, you can look at it again... Cheers Ed Eaton's Insane Sniper Story from Vietnam Army of One - Mekong Delta, Vietnam, 1969 - US Army Sniper Ed Eaton's routine night raid mission turns into a fight for his life when the helicopter he's flying in crashes. One...

I also think Army Sniper Sgt. Ed Easton in his shoot-out on the crashed Huey used the same model PVS-2, on an M14... I think that's right??? Cheers

I can't really say in Chuck's situation, I've used the AN/ PVS-2 in the Army on both the M14 and the M16 with nothing more than their standard flash hider and never found them to be a problem. Yeah, if you put enough light on them they'll blink on you, Chuck may have had the PVS-1 but I don't...

Rotten, Good on your father, be proud. Sorry, I think you're thinking of Army Sniper Sgt. Ed Easton on top of the crashed "Huey" at night... a great story by the way. U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Adelbert F. Waldron was the top sniper for the Army in those years...

Yeah, Chuck was a fun guy to hang with and a heck of a Salmon fisherman. I also had to good fortune to meet Gunny Hathock a few times over the years before he passed... both were just super nice guys and great Americans. Oh by the way any of the guys here that's ever used a PVS-2 will tell...

Well, let's see, USMC Scout Sniper Chuck Mawhinney, M14 with PVS-2 Nam "the river crossing" 16 headshots in 30 seconds at night, aggregate the yards with hits and time for score and distance, winner 😉 Chuck was a very fine gentleman, sorry he's gone. Me, my son, and Chuck....on the range. Cheers

I do like the .300 RSAUM nice shot. Cheers
