    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    I spent a lot of time on LZ English in '68, '69 and '70. There were two names that were spoken with reverence. SSG Patrick (Tad) Tadina of N Co. 75th Rangers. I am not going to post a link to Tadina's career because no single link would do the man justice. Please do look him up, his history...

    Movie Theater Any comments. Special Forces: World's Toughest Test

    There are plenty of people here who have gone through selection processes that are "at arms oriented". Military, LEO, alphabet or anything I'm leaving out, I would be interested in your opinions. An observation on my part. The physical problems of balance, heights, falling, drowning, etc...

    Rifle Scopes Apex Optics

    I'm hoping there is more info out there. The claims are significant but what I believe is restricted to opinions from those who's opinion is proven to carry weight.

    Night Vision Super Yoter Dual Use?

    Take a look in the PX using the Night Vision banner. There were a couple of S35 Steiner Night Hunter scopes for $3000. They are 640s. I don't believe either one has had a round fired under it.

    Tac Ops Rifles

    Charlies Custom Clones. I bought it about a year ago. It is still listed on their website but shows none available and a significant price increase.

    Tac Ops Rifles

    Yeah, I've a couple of boxes of that as well. I also have a couple of the Black Hills 190's. The first few times out with the new rifle will be epic. I'm glad to hear @MikeRTacOps brake is so effective. What was isn't, and what has replaced it is a pain in the ass. Thanks Federal.

    Tac Ops Rifles

    Looking for FGMM 190gr SMK .300WM? budsgunshop.com. I found this a few days ago. I didn't post immediately because I've never bought from Bud's and I usually don't buy unless I can order over the phone. The order was stuck in KY for a few days but then started to move so probably legit. I...

    So o ut of date...

    I'm thinking that we have made presumptions about @muvinbird that may be incorrect. When he refers to the Finns as them and refers us to the Finnish Ministry of Defense regarding his service there is a disconnect. His current home and his reference to his grandsons AK5 would indicate that he...

    Rifle Scopes Review of the Eotech Vudu 5-25, Now With Photos

    @Maggot I've had the 5-20X50 for about 3 years. I bought the H-59, not because I like the reticle but because of resale value. Europtic currently has a Tremor 3 reticle on sale as a demo. $1299. Their demos. rarely are anything other than open box scopes. I would think of the current...

    Night Vision S35 users/review.

    Might seem like a dumb question, which I'm sure it is. Will a S35 go on an M4 with only the riser that ships on it? If the front sight obscures the image, how much additional height is required and what would be a good riser as regards quick detach and RTZ?

    Largest scope for performance and symmetry on a small frame AR.

    @Flywheel If you are still looking, the Eotech Vudu 5-25X50 may be very close to what you're looking for. It's a super-short, under 12", under 30oz.s (barely) and a huge amount of vertical adjustment. Mine is on an old Genesco Armalite and it absolutely looks like it belongs there. Read the...

    What pistol do you use for self-protection out in public?

    Sig P230 in a Kramer IWB #2 of horse-hide construction. Both were purchased around the mid 80's. It's been the everyday carry since it's purchase. The 230 has an alloy frame, SA/DA, decocker, steel slide, and stoked with 7+1, an extra mag, in the holster, it weighs in at under one pound...

    Sig Kilo 10k ABS

    I seem to be missing something here. If the 10K has onboard AB and full weather data sensing including wind speed, what advantage would there be to pairing with a kestrel or Tactix 7 Elite?

    As We Get Older!

    @B y r o n, Thanks for putting up this post. As regards your own views of the inequities in your "retirement", I fully understand your quandary. The only advice I can offer is keep your head down, stay off the radar as much as you can and collect from every entity that legitimately owes you...
