  1. Good thing whole animals don't die in the woods everyday....

    Yep. It's really very common for 29 animals to die in one confined space, all piled together, freeze, then thaw 6 months later.

  2. If they explode the cows, just where do they think the muscle, bone, eyes, testicles will go? Sometimes I think people who got less than an A- in high school physics shouldn't be allowed to make decisions.

    Coyotes and biodegradation. Both will be easier with cow pieces than whole cows.

  3. Just curious....why would you go through the ass pain of getting a Class 3 for 1.5 inches of reduced barrel length? Don't get me wrong, 1.5'' can be a substantial difference in life...I just don't think it applies in this situation though.

    It's not NFA/Class III if the flash hider is pinned to make the overall length 16".

  4. Let me revive this thread with a few more discounts and a question.

    Discounts if you ask for them. I've been on a gun-buying and modifying kick recently.

    • Nightforce Optics - 10-20%
    • US Optics - 10%
    • Seekins Precision - 10%
    • Leupold - varies
    • Brownell's - varies
    • Bud's Police Supply

    Anyone know if Galco gives discounts? I'd like to get their M9 VHS for my next vacation.

    ETA: Nope. No soup for you from Galco.

  5. I built a 6.8 with White Oak parts. It's been reliable and accurate, but I can't speak to its lethality yet as the deer seem to avoid me when I have it with me.

    Kotonics went out of business a while ago. They had a problem where the chrome lining in some of their barrels was too thick and was causing overpressure. They did their best to fix it, but went bankrupt trying to make things right.

    $825 isn't a bad price. If you get it and find pressure signs, worst case scenario you could rebarrel it with something from this guy and be good to go.

  6. I've got a Zanotti and I like it a lot. I bought it expressly for ease of moving and because I don't know the floor plan of my next houses. I don't want to get a safe that works in this house and next time I have to leave it in the garage.

    Assembly took two guys, but was easy overall. Make sure you ask for their military discount. As always, buy bigger than you think you'll need - you'll magically fill it up.

  7. " The cost of the surgery was estimated at $20,000." What would the surgery cost in the US?

    Probably a lot more because the surgeon wouldn't be slicing and dicing pro bono.

    The hospital said it is financing all the traveling costs and accommodation for McKinnon, who is performing the surgery free of charge.

  8. (e) COMPUTATION OF RETIRED PAY- Retired or retainer pay of a member retired (or transferred to the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve) under a provision of title 10, United States Code, by reason of eligibility pursuant to subsection (b) shall be reduced by 1/12 th of 1 percent for each full month by which the number of months of active service of the member are less than 240 as of the date of the member's retirement (or transfer to the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve).

    So if you retired right at 15 years (180 months), then you'd get 35% pay? Doesn't sound altogether like a bad deal, especially if the healthcare is unchanged. You can get out at ~37 instead of ~42, and might be more marketable. And for those going to the airlines, that's 5 more years of seniority.

  9. Question: Are any of the hours we did at IFS log gable in the DA-20 towards a PPL?

    Yes and no. They're loggable because you can put whatever you want in your logbook. I would put them in mine. However, they're only usable towards a private certificate if you have all the right endorsements/signatures from the CFI that gave you the training. Since you don't have that, you're kinda SOL as I doubt they're gonna do the legwork for you to get that.
