- 9 Replies
CAF had a show in Dallas this weekend. I got to take a flight on "Thats All Brother" and check out some other great planes.
Lot of history in this C47. They had two others there as well. One is being Turned into a AC47 (Spooky). here are a few pictures of the trip. This C47 made the trip to Normandy this past June for the 80th Anniversary.
Highlight of the flight was when a P51 pulled up on our right side for a photo op. Lot of great folks involved with CAF and a wealth of Knowledge. Lot of younger men and women of all walks of life sharing the history of the people, equipment and planes they flew.

Firearms LMT MWS LM8 DMR .308 20" rifle
- Buy - Sell - Trade
- 5 Replies
Hello Hide,
Up for sale is my LMT MWS "DMR" rifle with a factory 20" .308 win barrel. It is a phenomenal rifle and this barrel has been a solid 3/4 moa shooter with FGMM 175gn. However, it has not been seeing much use this previous year and I have some other projects that I would like to fund. This rifle was produced at the Milan, IL, plant before the move to Iowa (this is stamped on the lower). This rifle has seen mostly bench shooting use and some tripod hunting, but shows little if any wear (I try to take good care of my stuff). This rifle has never had a single malfunction, but was upgraded with the Slash XH buffer for suppressed shooting. This buffer has not affected the rifle's ability to function without a silencer. This is a factory LM8 rifle, so both the upper and lower have identical anodizing.
I am asking $2,650 shipped to an FFL, via PayPal FtF, Venmo, or Zelle.
Additional arts of note:
LMT .308 DMR stock
LMT enhanced trigger guard
Radian Raptor safety selectors
Geissele Hi Speed National Match Trigger (with additional springs and parts)
Geissele charging handle
Slash XH buffer
LM8 rail covers
Area 419 arca rail
2x LM8 rail section
1x Magpul AR10 SR/LR 20 round mag (if legal in state of purchase)
Dead Air .30 cal Keymo muzzlebrake
Let me know if you have any questions,
Vivacious

Hey boys,
I have a like new Nightforce 2.5-20 NX8 with MOAR reticle. Glass is perfect, red and green reticles, and zero stops.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the box and I lost the windage cap on a range trip.
I contacted Nightforce and they sent me a new cap, it just doesn’t have a logo. I did spend the money and get Tenebreax NF scope caps as well.
Comes with your choice of low ARMS #22’s or high 1.5” Larue rings.
Price is 1400 with rings, and 1200 without. Plus like 10$ for shipping.
Thanks!

This is just blocks from where I eat breakfast sometimes.
Two 'dark skinned males, one wearing a Muslim turbine' tried to block a church exit with a rock. Armed church goers weren't having it. Shots were fired and one 'dark skinned male' exited a white van brandishing an AR15 before fleeing north.

Austin's news channel also covered it but of course left out the description of the two terrorists.

Prototype Stiller Mk13 receivers
- By USMCSGT0331

Here's something that's never been discussed on the forums, and I thought that it's a topic that warrants it's own thread (as opposed to being posted in the big Mk13 thread). Recently, a small group of 8 or 9 original prototype/sample Stiller Mk13 receivers popped up in the collector market and were sold. I have 2 of them in my possession, but only one of them is mine (serial number 3), the other receiver belongs to my brother (serial number 12). Collectors were limited to purchasing just 1 receiver, not multiples, in order to keep things fair.
When Crane put out a solicitation for the Mk13 receivers, Stiller made 25 of them according to Crane's specifications. The 8 or 9 receivers that recently hit the collectors market were from this original batch of 25 receivers. These Stiller Mk13 receivers are considered to be prototypes and/or sample pieces for Crane, and were never issued.
Stiller based these prototype Mk13 receivers off their Tac 300 receivers, but the 2 types of receivers have some differences. The biggest difference between a Mk13 receiver and Tac 300 receiver is the lack of the flat left side on the Mk13 receiver. This is because Crane specifically requested round receivers for their Mk13 program. Stiller assumed that the entire receiver should be round, even though Crane was only referring to the bottom of the receiver (such as a round bottom Remington 700 receiver compared to a flat bottom Winchester Model 70 receiver), so Stiller didn't cut the flat into the left side of the receiver like the Tac 300 has.
The armorers from Crane inspected these 25 prototype Stiller Mk13 receivers and liked what they saw, but they did request a few changes to the receivers. Here's a list of changes that Crane requested Stiller to make:
● Remove the "C" serial number suffix (the "C" suffix stood for "Crane")
● Remove the space between the "MKA" serial number prefix and the rest of the serial number
● Add one more digit to the number portion of the serial number (4 digits to 5 digits)
● Move the engraved serial number from the left side of the receiver to the right side of the receiver
● Remove the gas vent hole from the receiver
● Add an RFID tag to the left side of the receiver that has a 2D barcode, Stiller manufacturer cage code, Mk13 receiver part number, and Mk13 receiver serial number
There's also another for differences between the 25 Mk13 prototype receivers and the issued Mk13 receivers, but I highly doubt that these were changes that were requested by Crane. I think that these are just things that Stiller did on their own, for whatever reason. These are just some things I've noticed when comparing the prototype Stiler Mk13 receivers to the issued Stiller Mk13 receivers:
● The prototype receivers don't have commas in the FFL markings, the issued receivers do have the commas in the FFL markings
● The prototype receivers have a slightly thicker outline to the "MK13 300WM" markings than the issued receivers (bold text vs regular text)
● The prototype receivers have a slightly different letter font and size to the "MK13 300WM" markings than the issued receivers (this can really be seen when comparing the "W" and "M" letters on the receivers)
● The prototype receivers have a slightly different letter font and size to the "SPF LLC WYLIE TX" markings than the issued receivers (this can really be seen when comparing the "W" letters on the receivers)
● The prototype receivers have a shiny finish bolt shroud and bolt knob, the issued receivers have a matte finish bolt shroud and bolt knob
The 25 prototype Stiller Mk13 receivers were never built by Crane or issued to any military unit. The owner of Stiller might have kept some of these 25 prototype Mk13 receivers for his personal collection or for the company's records, and he might have sold and/or given away some of these prototype Mk13 receivers to employees and friends. I have no idea who had these 8 or 9 prototype Stiller Mk13 receivers that were just sold to collectors, or if there's any other prototype Mk13 receivers out there. I assume that none of the 25 original prototype Stiller Mk13 receivers were destroyed, so they have to be somewhere. However, myself and other big Mk13 collectors had absolutely no idea that these prototype receivers even existed before these receivers popped up for sale. I assume that these receivers are also unknown to just about everyone on this forum, so this thread should have some interesting information for the collector community.
Well, that's enough typing, here's a bunch of photos of the prototype Stiller Mk13 receivers for you all to enjoy. I also took a few photos of my other 2 Stiller Wylie Mk13 receivers (build into Mk13 Mod 5 and Mod 7 rifles) so that the differences between the prototype receivers and the issued receivers can easily be seen:

Didnt vote in 2020? Check if you really did! FRAUD story
- By Green461

Was at the DMV friday, Elkhorn WI. took my number and went and sat down. I sat next to a table in back (6ft away) where an elderly lady was asking people if they are registered to vote and then with a computer there helping them register. A guy walks up, maybe in his 60s, says he moved to a different town, and now moved back to Whitewater so he needs to register to vote. He started telling the lady that he did not vote in the 2020 election and when he went online and looked himself up, it said the last time he voted was 2020 and voted absentee (by mail) , man was confused and irritated. Said he had to look up what "absentee" meant. The lady set him up on the computer to register.... when he logged in.. he said "look... right there it says last time I voted was 2020 by absentee". He also said his wife did not vote in 2020 and it also said the last time she voted was 2020 absentee. He was asking the elderly woman what can be done about it and who he voted for as the website will not tell you who you voted for. He explained to her he told a colleague at work and the person laughed and said he was full of it. The colleague also did not vote in 2020 and the man told him to look it up.... The website said the last time the colleague voted was 2020 also by absentee, this guy lives near Milwaukee. The man was kinda mad and the elderly woman had no answers, she told him to tell people running it... neither knew who to contact... and i'm guessing the game of tag that would be trying to find someone to tell would be a joke.
