Damn, that's a helluva price as well! I gotta get my taxes done, but if these show up at this price again, it's gonna be tough not buying one!

Damn, left the mag at work. I'll check it on Monday...

And as I PM'd ya, G&A listed the MSRP at $1250...

Good move, they got a great write-up in the May issue of Guns & Ammo. Plus, Bud's is already sold out (at least that's what I think, your link doesn't work for me!) Figures, Dumber Than Dirt can Eat A Bowl Of Dick!

There is a team keeping the website running for Rich's family...one individual handling operations/management, another serving as the web mastermind, yet another running advertising/sales, and two administrators...

That's interesting, as my GSG-5 is very finicky when it comes to ammo (my -522 is not nearly as bad)... Thanks for the info, I might just have to snag some just to see. Cheers! M2

Bumped it up to five, think that's enough...

WTF?

Yep, about 1000NM further than Belgrade...

Not really a 'WTF,' just thought this was the most appropriate place for it...

I read 'em years ago for some insight into the forces involved in that conflict, now I'm just re-engaging 'em for my own entertainment. From what I remember, they are more of a collection of battle reports than a comprehensive study of the tactics employed; but now that we are winding up operations there it will be interesting to see what similarities exist between what the Soviets did and ours efforts. I'm just starting it but I can already see what you mean. I was hoping his chest-thumping would wear off after the beginning but it is typical SEAL (Marcinko was the same way). No Easy Day was the exception, and if you're interested in an excellent series of books from a SOF guy, I highly recommend Yellow Green Beret!

Since my post was about a book on the movie Red Dawn, I thought it appropriate to post here; but the subsequent comments concerning books better belong in the thread so I moved them there.

Jim Carrey has always been a douche...

OK, not the latest version, but definitely the better one! For those with a Kindle, there's a free book being offered on the original (better) movie... I just downloaded it, but I'm in the middle of three books already at the moment (American Sniper, The Bear Went Over The Mountain and The Other Side of the Mountain). so it might be a while before I get to it. Cheers! M2

WTF are you talking about, that's a fucking classic! Some people just can't appreciate high-brow humor! I bet you don't think David Sleaze is funny either!

WTF?

M2 can also permanently ban people from this forum so perhaps it's not a wise idea to question his actions... Plus, it's only 214,748,3647 'Likes,' so try to be a bit more precise next time. Lastly, it's been discussed before so Your penance is to post appropriate material in the Squadron Bar Daily Pic & Video Thread NSFW thread.

Note that in gearpig's example he used some "alternate" punctuation as to keep the forum software from interpreting and converting the text as code. For example, in the URL he used ';' instead of ':' and in his embedding example he used the brack '{' instead of '[' Adjust accordingly...

This. .22LR is scarce at the moment, .40 is probably the most available handgun caliber around at the moment. It's easier to find that 9mm and .45ACP. If I see any .22, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat!

Yea, I might just have to succumb to using GunBroker. The biggest problem with that is that it is blocked on NIPRNET at work. Such bullshit. I saw that, and it beats the $55/50 rounds priced box I saw at the gun show this morning. Funny thing though, I stopped by Alamo Ammo and they said they didn't have any. I might just have to swing by their store as I would prefer to score some locally. Otherwise, I may have to just see what I can score via GunBroker. Thanks! M2

OK gents, if anyone stumbles across any 7.62x25 Tokarev ammo, let me know. I've got a Yugo M57 inbound and need to find something to shoot through it... Cheers! M2

This surprises you? I could tell by the trailer that it was going to be bullshit...
