Modern warfare 2
Something like this: This is actually Travis Haley's AK from what I understand. The company GoGun by ETAC does custom AK jobs from Saigas it seems: http://www.gogun.us/ That site also has more pictures in their gallery section. I don't know how I feel about the modification done with the CH on the left-side, but otherwise its a pretty slick looking AK (though of course purists are probably gouging their eyes out right now )

The Walking Dead
The whole writing staff for The Walking Dead was fired (kind of old news): http://warmingglow.uproxx.com/2010/12/the-entire-walking-dead-writing-staff-got-fired I personally agree that this is a good move. I agree that the writing itself has been less then stellar, and most of the success the series has seen thus far is the rampant love affair the majority of the viewers have with the source material-- and not necessarily the show. So, for those who have been hoping for more continuity with the graphic novel, or just more zombie mayhem... hopefully this change will fix things.

NJ Compliant Buttstocks
Ask the previous poster, Cylinder Head, as that is what he went with on his KAC.

If you had to pick Ray Ray's gun......
Unless he's planning on using some tactical tape, I don't see how he could fit his red-dot-laser-light... so, I'm going to go with plain jane

No Carry In Disney?
Of course, though, everyone knows that Celebration really is a Disney "social experiment" . Seriously though, that place is freaky.

No Carry In Disney?
I wonder if these recent events will change any policies at Disney itself, though I doubt it: http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/12/03/florida.disney.violence

US deploys 'game-changer' weapon to Afghanistan (XM25)
I understand your concern for the troops welfare, vjf. From my understanding, lazing a target in this situation is different when comparing airstrikes and the XM25 (which is my mistake). My understanding of the XM25 is that the lazing process is to find the most accurate range. Anybody who has used a laser range finder knows that, especially with practice, the process is relatively quick. This is different for the airstrike process in most cases as the operator normally has to stay on target until the payload is delivered and the hit confirmed (the phrase "painting" made famous by Hollywood). The troops themselves are in no more danger than they normally would be. Barring equipment issues and freakish incidents where the opposition can actually shoot straight over a long distance, the XM25 will improve the lethality and save lives in the process-- sounding like a combat multiplier to me. And when comparing 1-to-1, this option is far cheaper than flying drones, jets, or Apaches... plus, it'll give tactical discretion to boots on the ground, which, to a person who wasn't even a grunt, is probably the most important.

Ha, don't be concerned with those types of details. This type of process has been the staple for air strikes for quite some time now-- and they tend to work with lethal efficiency.

Explain your handle...
Another non-creative one, just my initials. I would have used 'BK', but most sites require three characters minimum, so, 'bbk' it is.

XD9 FTE
I ran my XD40 hard the other day, and had a couple malfunctions (FTFs and FTEs). Reviewing what had occurred though, I've deduced that in my case it was most likely bad magazine seating. Admittedly my XD40 was filthy before I even began, hardly with any lubrication and haven't had been cleaned probably in five or six months. I applied some lube, and was more conscience of seating the magazines-- and there weren't any issues.

Just joined Fort Dix...
Called earlier today to ask when their Friday schedule would end for the year. The last operational Friday will be 17 Dec.

Aliens comin'
I just read this; and while I doubt we'll run into full-fledged creatures, the thought that even a microbe of life out there in the universe is pretty darn exciting. I'm psyched for tomorrow's press conference.

Hi from South Jersey
Welcome. If you don't mind me asking, where do you shoot? I can't say I'm too familiar with the ranges down in southern NJ.

US deploys 'game-changer' weapon to Afghanistan (XM25)
What the XM25 does is allow the boots on the ground to make a tactical decision. From what I've read of how this launcher works, and what I read a long time ago when they were doing T&E, this should cut back on the overall usage of UAV and Apache strikes in most situations. What does that mean? Well, for the most part, it will save lives. I would say it would cost less, but seeing how there was recent news of the production of UAVs being increased... not so much the case. I'm more interested to see how the Mk19 is improved in the coming months.

Assembled first lower today
That looks very nice-- always a fan of the KISS setups. Just curious, what buffer are you running in it? And range report when you do get the chance! I'm looking forward to hearing how soft it shoots.

if you want a top of the line AR. Noveske N4? Knights Armco SR15? Other
KAC SR-15E3 hands down. It is the last true AR developed by the original designer, Eugene Stoner, in what he believed the platform could be improved upon. My point being that while Mr. Noveske shares the same meticulous machining and manufacturing as KAC, the variations by Noveske are ultimately his own discretion-- whereas KAC's slight variations were laid by the original designer (it would be the equivalent of Mikhail Kalashnikov designing and breathing life into his final AK-variant design first-hand). I like the thicker barrel profile of the Noveske ARs, but, from the SR-15s I've seen firsthand, the ergonomics of the SR15 are amazing. The trademark URX rail for the SR15 is also pretty interesting. Honestly, a person couldn't go wrong choosing between the two. They're both very well made, finely tuned machines that have seen action, survived, and proven themselves.

Let's be honest here...
I've met a lot of guns that had more character/story and dependability then most people I've met. But as I stated, for us peons on the outside, they are just hunks of metal for our petty enjoyments-- property. And as history shows, you never name property

MGs and AOWs are technically allowed, but is it feasible to actually get the paperwork signed off? Doubtful.

Purchases at Brick Armory
I was a walk-on a couple months back, and they let me buy some frangible .223 rounds with no resistance. Things might be different now though.

Purchases at Brick Armory
14 is great especially if you want to stretch your legs a bit more, and if you want to get some high powered rifle shooting done. Frangible rounds are just too darn expensive.

I traditionally name my guns. Though they have to earn that right-- and I haven't really had mine long enough or put them through that kind of abuse yet.

Some smokin' gun sales!
He was talking about the Smith and Wesson ORC model for $650, which a lot of us have, and has proven to be pretty decent quality. I'm more interested in the FS2000 only being $1500 though

Set your DVR
Its all good Check out a 14 minute video by the guys who made Restrepo about SSG Giunta's heroics that were occurring at the same time as they were doing their filming (includes an interview with SSG Giunta). And yes, it is the video on the main page: http://restrepothemovie.com/ (possibly NSFW with some language)
