  1. Sean Connery approved.
  2. If you are gonna do all this shit, just start with a stripped lower and build up a receiver, then add whatever upper and optics you want. Kinda silly to tear down a clone M4 and do all that when it’s much easier just to start from scratch. I mean, who has just one AR anyway?
  3. I win bitches!
  4. Here is a couple of pics of my Colt LE6920 Magpul showing the pic rail for the light and a QD swivel receiver on the hand guard. Very basic upgrades, easy to add and you don’t end up with a Swiss army AR with a bunch of shit hanging off of it that just gets in the way.
  5. Friends don’t let friends run EOtechs. OP, remove the carry handle/rear sight and get an Aimpoint Pro red dot. I leave mine on all the time and get 2years + out of the battery. It will co-witness with your existing A2 front site out of the box and you can add a fold down Magpul rear MBUS. Magpul also has some small bits to add a short picatinny rail at the front of the hand guard to add a light off you wish. Get a good sling too and you should be good to go.
  6. Shoulda been the first post.
  7. Couple skate, couples skate only.
  8. I took it that the 19th century renovations removed all other years glass except what was original 13th century and then remade panels for those pieces and that was why only glass from those two era’s.
  9. South Austin’s mom has one of those on her night stand filled with her favorite lube.
  10. I think this is incorrect. I thought that if originally build as a pistol, made it always a pistol. You can build an ar pistol from a stripped lower and put a long barrel and stock on it no problem, but you can’t take an ar rifle, say a factory M&P-15 and put a short barrel and brace on it. When I built a few AR’s it was suggested to build as a pistol with a short barrel and pistol buffer tube, then reconfigure as a rifle with stock and 16” upper. Pictures of that pistol build would serve to define as a pistol is you ever wanted to go back to a short barrel and brace with that lower. Another thing to think about on a pistol is why would a 16” barrel make it a rifle but a 14” barrel would still be a pistol.
  11. I imagine the shell making process is a whole lot more streamlined and automated these days but here’s a fascinating look at what it took to make 3” antiaircraft shells back in 1939 leading up to US involvement in WW2.
  12. Ted Koppel wrote a book in 2015 called Lights Out. It talks about the issues with our national power grid and its vulnerabilities, primarily an EMP type event but also cyberattacks and physical attacks on grid locations. Pretty well states 2 persons with rifles could knock out large areas of the grid very quickly. Make it a coordinated attack with multiple teams and you could really set back an area very fast.
  13. Is that a flock of buzzards circling?
  14. Did you read the post above yours? He’s blind now and it’s probably hard to dig a hole when you are blind. He probably didn’t have his trainee hole digger fully up to speed to be able to take over the dig. He’s got a half dug hole now which is the worse kind.
  15. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple.
  16. This is how you complain but humble brag all in one paragraph. Well done!
  17. Quart of ranch on the side please.
  18. Got a #1 w/cheese, mustard only, no veggies as a road snack on my way home from visiting my dad this weekend and imagine my surprise when I looked in the bag and saw not one but 2 of the Spicy Ketchup - Limited Batch #2s in the bag without even requesting any ketchup. Girl working the window said they had just got some in so maybe this will be a regular thing. Great ketchup IMO and will hoard any I can get.
  19. 50 bucks more says he eats it
  20. Is ender chicken pieces Scottish for chicken buttholes? Might explain the taste.
  21. You put a slightly moist paper towel over those buns in the nuke and you’ll be good to go.
  22. Or if you have ever taken a guided white-water rafting trip: river right, river left.
