The first article was in today's AFA Highlights, the second is from 17 March 2010. Cheers! M2

Impossible, as no one's arsenal is bigger than mine! (no STS!)

OK, back in business...

True, but the Hog was über-cool!

Maybe he was a big fan of the J-10 thanks to this video... It still kicks ass!

I am not sure why this thread was locked, but I am looking into it and will have it back open as soon as possible! I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding while I get this resolved. Cheers! M2

Dunno, there weren't any reported posts in there so I am thinking it was a mistake. Let me check on that and get back to ya...

OK, it's funnier than hell; but it deserves a big WTF?... First, you have to watch this real news report about a serious incident that occurred in Lincoln Park... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P7hXbzpk48 But now, through the miracle of some cool editing, we have a song that quite frankly, is kinda catchy! Thanks to my old pal Dave for bringing the above to my attention! Cheers! M2

Yeah, 89 pages is getting to be a bit too much to muddle through looking for info. Maybe if a few people asked, BaseOps would set up a subsection of the Squadron Bar forum for firearms! Just don't tell him you got the idea from me! Oh, and our local BXtra actually carries 7.62x39, but the price ain't that great. Still, it's nice to know it's there; and I may just buy some anyhow to let AAFES know that there are customers for the stuff. Cheers! M2

Yes, most definitely. That said, I don't have one; but that's a personal decision and not an indicator that one might not join my collection in the future... Cheers! M2

I just logged on for the first time today, and so far everything is operating as expected... Actually, correction, I did check in around 0430L as I do every morning via my HTC Hero. I've not encountered a single problem doing so in the past two weeks... Cheers! M2

Nice! I'm not a big fan of the sidefolders; but it is true to the AK-103. Good snag at that price! Cheers! M2

No. Geez, if childhood pranks like this disqualified people from flying, there wouldn't be many people left in the Air Force! Hell, one of my first supervisors when I was enlisted had two DWIs, and was still in (this being the early 1980s). That said, there was a dumbass in my AFROTC det that got kicked out for stealing Christmas trees; but he was an adult, in AFROTC and drunk at the time, and ATC (now AETC) was and still is pretty strict about such things. The rule of thumb for most everything is just be honest and accept the consequences, but in the case it is doubtful there will be any. Cheers! M2

Wow, cool CGI re-enactment! And yes, I realize it's not the right jet!

-9- Tons of good AK web sites out there, here are a few... Warrior Talk The AK Forum AK-47 on XD Talk GunCo The AK Files So plenty of places to do research. In a nutshell, you can start out with a Romanian WASR-10 for around $350-399 but most of those require work to get functioning well. They'll shoot as-is, but they won't be great shooters. After that you can pick up a Chinese Norinco, a Yugo which will be heavier and more sturdy due to the thicker receiver (for between $400-500, or all the way up to an Arsenal-built Russian Legion shop custom such as the SGL20 I picked up in July for $645. After that you get into the pure custom build world (e.g. Jim Fuller's) at whatever you can afford. I would steer clear of the WASRs; and unless you are going to hump it around a lot, a Yugo underfold would be a good starting point. Just be careful of anything built by Century, especially if ordering online; as they are famous for canted front sights. AKs have the earned reputation of working under any condition, and you can abuse them and they'll still run like a top; but it still pays to keep 'em clean and oiled. Hope that helps! Oh, and you still should've snagged one of those Mosins! They are a blast to shoot! Think Enemy At The Gate! Cheers! M2

The typical "I'm not fired, I quit!" response! I suspect gay porn is in his future. Vertigo, let us know when that happens!

Holy shit, is this turning into an art discussion?!?

For a hexed Mosin 91/30, that's a good price. The forced-matching numbers is not an issue, but it is better if the bolt matches the receiver... The accessories are the standard you get with Mosins. For more info, hit 7.62x54.net I've got quite a few Mosins, I prefer the carbines (M44, M38, etc) but the rifles have so much history behind them that it's easy to get a bad case of "Mosinitis!" Plus, they're a fucking blast to shoot! Cheers! M2 Addendum: OK, I just saw in the SOG flier that they have hexed M91/30s for $79; but once you add in hand-select ($10), shipping ($15-20) and any FFL transfer fees (unless you have an 03 FFL), I still think you are will do better in the long run buying it where you can look through and select one at the pawn shop.

WTF? (***NSFW*** due to language, I think!) Cheers! M2

C'mon guys, play nice. And just to note, I'd much rather look at capt4fans' avatar than Rainman's! Cheers! M2

One to add, since it wasn't specifically noted in the above... No Porn/Nudity Allowed! BaseOps has made it clear that there will be no pornographic material posted on the site, and there are several good reasons for so; but mainly it is because many people access BaseOps from government computers and while we may already be pushing the limits with the 'NSFW' content, actual porn will clearly cause problems. As such, it is for our own safety that we impose this restriction. For guidance on what is allowable, see the Please contact the mods if there are any questions.

Or, a good way to get back at some asshole journalist is to tell the locals that he/she is really working for the CIA... Just kidding, of course!

I know there are some dumbfucks in New York City, but this is truly a WTF moment! So some attention whore starts performing for all the world to see, and what red-blooded American male wouldn't whip out his camera and start videotaping it? Horny Videographer Ruins NYC Photo Shoot But check out the fucking geniuses that intervene. First is the old woman who needs to go back to scrapbooking and raising her cats. Then some macho bicycle messenger who, if it was Neil Patrick Harris spreading 'em in the middle of Times Square, I'm sure this earring-wearing, soul-patched fruit would be drooling all over it! If this tart wants privacy then she needs to move the show inside...preferably someplace with a pole!
