  1. I stopped by an Academy sports store on my way home from work on Friday and things weren't looking too bad...

    Cheers! M2

    All of my sites for .223 are backordered, unless you want higher end match ammo or want to pay double the price.

  2. Well the election certainly spooked a lot of gun peeps...ammo sales through the roof (and prices are up), the place I use added a second shift to ship all the orders.

  3. Ok, let me clarify...what is the point? What happens at the conference? Is it like industry day at the WEPTAC?

    Gianormous Cud chewing fest with all the Herbs telling each other how important they are as "warriors", then they pass out awards for most cud shewed, fastest cud chewed, and most cud moved from one location to another.

  4. Try the boneyard for the yoke. I got a couple sticks from there. You know who does the work on your guns at Clovis? They have old barrels.

    Make some friends and couple cases of beer should get you numbers 1 & 3.

    Tried the boneyard...no dice. Would love to work the beer option, but we took the 20MM's off the H model in 1998 when they were still at Hurlburt so they never made the move west.

  5. The problem is that TVs everywhere (waiting rooms, airports, etc) tend to be tuned to the news since it safe for work/children. And dudes splattering their brains all over the side of the highway is a definitely not PG. That said, at least dude spared taxpayers spared the expense of a trial.

    There were no brains spattering...it was a grainy feed from a helicopter...he put something to his head and fell forward.

  6. Was anyone else just watching Fox News? A car chase ended in Arizona with the suspect getting out of the car and running around looking dazed and confused before pulling out a gun and shooting himself in the head. Fox News said they were on a five-second tape delay, but that didn't work out too well...

    I watched it live as well. They were saying the News Helicopter was near the limit of their ability to send a signal and it kept cutting out. Everytime it did they went to a replay from a few seconds before, then they would cut right back to the live shot when the signal came back. They did that a few times and I bet that caused the mistake. I say so what..so douche nozzle offed himself. The dolt had a long criminal record, had just car-jacked someone at gunpoint, tried to shoot some cops on the side of the road during the chase, and took pot shots at the helicopter. AMF!

  7. Looking for a few things that I can't seem to find.

    1. I am still looking for a C-130 yoke, never see them listed anywhere, might have to make my own.

    2. When I left Laughlin 100 years ago they just installed a really cool table that I would like to recreate in the man cave. It was a T-38 wing with a landing gear...the lights even worked....would love to build one some day.

    3. Have been looking for a 20MM barrel.

    Some friends have some cool pieces. One buddy has the stick from the Viper he ejected out of. Another buddy has the ejection seat handle from a T-38 he crashed. When my dad left command they gave him a travel pod converted to a wet bar.

  8. A note posted posted by his family on his facebook page.

    Rich, you were a great father, husband, son, brother, and friend. You are gone, but not forgotten. We all miss you dearly.

    To all family and friends:

    Rich passed away at his home this past weekend. The memorial will be held on Saturday at 2pm at Palms Mortuary - 1325 North Main Street, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101, tel: (702) 464-8300.

  9. My guess is he is waiting to present his changes to the four stars at Corona which is right around the corner. I don't have inside baseball, but I would guess he is giving them a run down of his proposed changes and he will likely zap some of the low hanging fruit...which are easy kills. My opinion only.
