This rocks! For those of you who don't know MG Gorenc, he is one of the nicest and most personable guys you will ever meet. I had the pleasure of working with him at SHAPE, and I am extremely glad to see he continues to do well. He is currently ACC Director of Air and Space Operations, and those of you working for 3AF will have one of the best as your new NAF commander! Cheers! M2

Kadena-related...

Were said articles written by Doc Douchebag himself? I strongly suspect so, as he enjoyed writing about how great he was... Pure fucking fiction! If you want the reality of the situation (something SOS tends to overlook), then read this thread or ask anyone who has been under his "command." About the only lesson he could serve would be one that demonstrates when fragging is permissible!

Yeah, he had that soothing voice of a 2am shift jazz station disk jockey...

As promised...

Brabus Ben is correct, this straight from the source... Cheers! M2

Again, for those looking to build an AR, I gotta recommend Dreadnaught Industries!...here are some examples of their work... More in a second...

Yep, same thing...

Now this would be very cool to ride...very Tron-esque but God help you if you get into an accident! Cheers! M2

CB The US-made TAPCO "Intrafuse SKS Rifle System" with the T-6 stock uses a quick-detachable magazine system, but I plan to replace the 30-round magazine with a 10- or 20-rounder as I am not sure if this one is US-made (no markings) and therefore it may not be 922r complaint. But for traditional SKS rifles, they are loaded via stripper clips. I got ten with the gun, but I have heard it is a pain to try and use them with the TAPCO mags. Cheers! M2

Well, I picked this Yugo SKS up today, it was 922©-complaint as it has the TAPCO compliance kit on it. I know some folks are anti-"bubba;" but it was a decent deal and if I don't like it I can sell it for minimal loss. And yes, it is a cheap-o Chinese scope from Ultimate Arms Gear; but I am not looking for sniper-distance accuracy here. The bummer is that I was just at the range on Friday, and shoot all the guns that I hadn't shot yet. Now, just a few days later, I am back in that boat again, needing to get back to the range to shoot a new (to me) gun! Cheers! M2

Errr...maybe not!

Yep, one of the best! I also look at several others, to include the State Department's INFOCENTRAL (I think you need a .GOV or .MIL for it) and a myriad of other crisis watchgroups that offer subscription services. But STRATFOR is pretty much the best open source analysis I have found for current events. It is better than some of the classified stuff I get! Cheers! M2

OK, how about being a little more specific as to your condition and the medication(s) you are on... I am no doctor, but it is easy to Google and find out that Somnambulism (Sleep Walking) has a number of genetic, environmental, physiologic and associated medical conditions tied to its cause. A vague question--especially concerning a medical condition--will only get you vague answers and rampant speculation.

Check USAA as well, especially if you already have coverage on other vehicles through them. They are competitive, I have them for both of my bikes...

Well, got to shoot both the Webley and the Nagant this morning. First and foremost, neither exploded in my face so I was happy about that! Secondly, both shot pretty well, considering the age and designs. I was surprised at how low the recoil was on the Webley, it is a big, slow round and shoots accordingly. About the only thing I am pissed off about was that I popped it open too fast and brass went flying. I was able to find all but one of them, but I kick myself for have such low SA when I opened it. The Nagant's recoil is even lighter, like a .38 but it wasn't as accurate as the Webley. All the 7.62x38R casings came out without a hitch, pretty much falling out of the cylinder as I rotated to clear it. What was a disappointment was the Kel-Tec P3AT I bought, that damn thing couldn't hit the broad side of a bard at 7 yards! I let my bud shoot it and he had the same result. I don't know why it is such a lousy shooter, maybe I need to bench shoot it to get a better idea of where it really shoots; but for a BUG it is almost useless other than scaring the BG. Most likely it won't be in my possession too much longer, I could sell it for a profit since I got it pretty cheap. Cheers! M2

Rumor was his wife is related to a SecDef. It is about the only way this douchebag could ever achieve four-star rank. Hell, under normal circumstances he shouldn't have made it past Lt Col...

Then two of my prayers would be answered! Cheers! M2

That's what I was paying when I was stocking up on the 100-round boxes of WWB, but I haven't seen any at WalMart for months. Glad to hear it is coming back... I might go shoot the Webley and Nagant Friday morning, I will let y'all know how it goes if I do. Cheers! M2

According to CNN, Fehrenbach's "board" met yesterday to determine his fate. Any word on the results?

Kick ass!

Google "Defensive Egg," it is the gold standard of BFM... Speaking of which, is anyone still making the t-shirts? Cheers! M2

Hell T-bonez, you've got me concerned about 922r! From what I've been reading here both the detachable magazine and pistol grip may be violations! I guess having it noted on the bill of sale that the seller believes the weapon to be 922r compliant won't cover my ass, I may have to get an ATF determination. I thought with all the US-made TAPCO parts on it, it would be complaint. Oh, and no bayonet or original furniture as far as I know, he would've mentioned it if either was included. I am not too worried about maintaining the C&R status, I just want to stay legal and out of the sights of the ATF. I need a beer...

Cragspider pretty much answered it, and if I may add Texas Castle Doctrine--which went into effect on 1 September 2007--allows anyone who is eligible to conceal carry in their home, vehicle or business without a license (or any route directly between those places, so you can carry from your house to your car and back). The old "traveling" requirement, a source of a lot of confusion and interpretation, no longer applies. As long as a person is eligible (basically a non-felon and someone who is not in the act of breaking the law). Just remember that if asked for ID from any LEO while carrying you must produce your conceal carry license with your other photo ID. This is not a requirement if you are unarmed. Now, the biggest unanswered question is what an unlicensed person who is legally conceal carrying in their vehicle should do, I would recommend informing the police officer that you have a concealed weapon in that case; but I don't know what the law states as it does not apply to yours truly. Welcome to Texas (even though it is Del Rio), a very gun-friendly state! And let me know if you need any information on San Antonio, as you will likely make a few trips here during your stay in Del Rio! Cheers! M2

OK, need some inputs here. Got this deal lined up...a Yugo SKS with a 30rd magazine, a "sporting scope," what looks like a Tapco stock and a plastic case for $300... I don't know how many rounds have been through it, and I've not yet seen it in person (just this pic). The guy is including the original bolt cover (without weaver rail), and the plus side is that it eats 7.62x39, which I have a few rounds stashed away. The downside is....hell, I can't think of a downside other than possibly paying too much for it! I've always wanted a bubba SKS, and prefer the "evil black commie rifle" look (it'll match my Yugo M70AB2 quite nicely); but I know SKS used to go for $150-200 pre-Obama paranoia. Checking out GunBroker.com, it seems like a good price. So, anyone SKS experts out there willing to give an opinion? Cheers! M2 p.s. I should add I am not a huge fan of the Dragunov-style stocks, but I know some people prefer them over the Tapco types as this one has.
