Plain? Plain? They may not have shit hanging all off of it like the M-4s do, but I can take one of those "plain" M-24s and turn a man's head into a canoe from as far as a klick away AT FUCKING NIGHT with that "plain" rifle. (with a competant spotter, or course) Do that with a &qu...

I caught a glimpse of one of the guys that used to me in my Plt on there as an instructor.

During the second segment, after an instructor had a malfunction and was killed, he had a chute and waa explaining what they think occurred. SSgt (then Spc-4) Nugent. Good to see he's still in and driving on.

My black beret is my most prized accomplishment. Period. It has a special place in my home, and to me, it is sacred. It is sacred to me not only because of what I endured to earn it, and what I endured to KEEP it, but of the sacrifices others have made that make my measily accomplishments seem minis...

You are correct. The T&E is the actual piece of gun gear that connects the tripod and the weapon together, enabling the gunner to traverse the weapon on a straight line, and make exact ajustments on the elevation, instead of just free firing it. Generally used when strict fire control measures n...

Here is a quick one I remember. We had one DS, named DS White. He was tall and lean, and was black as the ace of spades. DS White, bless his soul, looked like a struck match. This man was an excellent DS. He had a voice, that even after all I've been through, still rings in the back of my head somew...

Just take him out to eat, but be sure you have DEEP pockets unless it's one of those all you can eat deals (my brother made this mistake, lol. I took him for about $65 at Outback, ha, ha.He honestly couldn't believe one man could eat so much at one sitting -so beware!) Spartan's advice is right on. ...

Hey, I know, let's villify the CO while he's overseas fighting the war!

For the love of God! Sometimes I despise journalists.

Although, I hope young Justin makes a full and complete recovery, and soon.

Or, you could just get one of those great big oversized freezer bags. Punch three pin holes in it, put it over your melon, seal it up around your neck, hop on your treadmill in the bathroom / sauna, and go. Just make it where you can get it off quickly when you need to puke, so you don't drown in yo...

Am I the only one that feels like one of the soldiers in the movie Plattoon, where they are contemplating killing all the dinks in the village?

I just keep hearing over and over in my head - "Come on, Sarge! Let's go for it! Let's do this whole fucking village!"

I belong to a range the has a 1000yd KD range. Also, in the winter months when the rivers and lakes have lower water levels, my buddy and I go out and shoot at a particular place where we can get shots at even longer ranges. Although I haven't fired this rifle past 1000yds yet, on the river banks I ...

Currently, I just shoot Federal Gold Medal Match 190-gr BTHP. The down side is that feeding the .300 with commercial match ammo will run you about $1.25 per round in my AO. So, I have began to get set up to load my own, but am not up and running yet. I still have a few things to buy (dies, case trim...

Finally, she's alive

Ever since I came home, I have wanted to build a bolt gun similar to the M-24. It's only taken me six friggin' years, but finally the first stage is complete. She's a Remmy 700 PSS, .300 Win Mag, 26" free floated heavy barrell with recessed crown, HS Precision (non adjustable) stock, Harris Bip...

Oh bullshit, now I know for sure. On the model saw I humped, the regulator had a ridge on it so that it fit into the barrell only ONE way, but the collar would click into either one of the two slots that were 180 degrees apart on the regulator. If the regulator itself would only fit into the barrell...
